Project description:Purpose: We investigated Nr4a effector genes following a hippocampus dependent learning task using a dominant mouse model of Nr4a. Method: We performed total RNA sequencing after training for hippocampus-dependent memory from Nr4ADN and control littermates Results: Using an unbiased analysis of gene expression after training for hippocampus-dependent memory, we found that Nr4a transcription factors regulate expression of specific effector genes encoding endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperones that drive protein folding, enabling membrane proteins to more efficiently traffic to the cell surface. Conclusion: This study identified the effector genes of Nr4a transcription factors involved in learning and memory.

Project description:We used microarrays to assess gene expression differences in the hippocampus between FoxO6 mutant and wild-type siblings before (basal) or after novel object learning. The cohort of basal mice were housed individually for at least 3 days prior to tissue harvesting. The mice used to collect hippocampal samples after the object learning task were handled daily in the procedure room, prior to the object learning task. 24 hours before the object learning task, each mouse was individually habituated to the empty novel object arena for 10 min. On the days of the novel object learning task and the empty arena habituation, the mice were transferred to the procedure room and acclimatized for 60 min. For the novel object learning task, the mice were allowed to explore two identical and novel objects for 10 min in a 70 x 70 x 70 cm black plastic arena with a white PVC vinyl material on the base. After the object exploration, mice were transferred to an empty cage, and were euthanized after 60 min. The brains were dissected and incubated in ice-cold RNAlater (Ambion) for 24 hours at 4M-BM-:C. The brains were then rapidly frozen in O.C.T. Tissue-Tek (Sakura) at -80M-BM-:C. Coronal brain sections (300 M-BM-5m) were made using a microtome (Microm), the hippocampus was finely dissected and collected into M-bM-^@M-^XRNA lysis bufferM-bM-^@M-^Y (Ambion), and homogenized for 30 sec using a rotar-stat homogenizer. Total RNA was extracted using the RNAqueous column (Ambion) following the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocol.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small, non-coding RNAs mediating post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. miRNAs have recently been implicated in hippocampus-dependent functions such as learning and memory, although the roles of individual miRNAs in these processes remain largely unknown. Here, we achieved stable inhibition using AAV-delivered miRNA sponges of individual, highly expressed and brain-enriched miRNAs; miR-124, miR-9 and miR-34, in hippocampal neurons. Molecular and cognitive studies revealed a role for miR-124 in learning and memory. Inhibition of miR-124 resulted in an enhanced spatial learning and working memory capacity, potentially through altered levels of genes linked to synaptic plasticity and neuronal transmission. In contrast, inhibition of miR-9 or miR-34 led to a decreased capacity of spatial learning and of reference memory, respectively. On a molecular level, miR-9 inhibition resulted in altered expression of genes related to cell adhesion, endocytosis and cell death, while miR-34 inhibition caused transcriptome changes linked to neuroactive ligand-receptor transduction and cell communication. In summary, this study establishes distinct roles for individual miRNAs in hippocampal function. Three RNA samples containing bilateral entire hippocampi from three different mice, per group. Group 1 were injected with vector containing GFP and a miR34sp/miR9sp and the other group were subjected to a vector expressing GFP only.

Project description:FTY720/Fingolimod, an FDA-approved drug for treatment of multiple sclerosis, has beneficial effects in the CNS that are not yet well understood, independent of its effects on immune cell trafficking. Here we show that FTY720 enters the nucleus where it is phosphorylated by sphingosine kinase 2 (SphK2) and nuclear FTY720-P that accumulates there, binds and inhibits class I histone deacetylases (HDACs) enhancing specific histone acetylations. FTY720 is also phosphorylated in mice and accumulates in various brain regions, including hippocampus, inhibits HDACs and enhances histone acetylation and gene expression programs associated with memory and learning leading to improvement of memory impairment independently of its immunosuppressive actions. Our data suggest that sphingosine-1-phosphate and SphK2 play specific roles in memory functions and that FTY720 may be a useful adjuvant therapy to facilitate extinction of aversive memories. Microarrays were used to survey the effect of FTY720 treatment during contextual fear conditioning on hippocampal gene expression. Total RNA was isolated from individual hippocampi of SCID mice 1 hour following fear consolidation testing after the third day of FTY720 or saline treatment. Eight arrays were run in total: 4 FTY720-treated mice and 4 saline-treated control mice.

Project description:The goal is to look at measures of overall metabolic state in relationship to hormonal environment and measures of mood/depression or cognitive function (behavioral and functional MRI images). There are some relationships in this data set between glucose/insulin levels and cognitive function, and we would like to use the untargeted assays to further investigate this relationship. Factors related to visual/spatial memory are included in the design. Factors 1 and 2 (Left Hippocampus, Right Hippocampus) are levels of activation in the hippocampus during a visual memory task, (data missing for some of the samples). Factors 3-5 (BVMT % Retained, BVMT Learning T, BVMT Delay T) are results from a cognitive test of spatial memory function.

Project description:Among all voltage-gated calcium channels, the T-type Ca2+ channels encoded by the Cav3 genes are highly expressed in the hippocampus, which is associated with contextual, temporal and spatial learning and memory. However, the specific involvement of the Cav3.2 T-type Ca2+ channel in these hippocampus-dependent types of learning and memory remains unclear. To investigate the functional role of the 1H channel in learning and memory, we subjected Cav3.2 homozygous, heterozygous knockout and their wild-type littermates to hippocampus-dependent behavioral tasks, including trace fear conditioning (TFC), the Morris water-maze and passive avoidance. The Cav3.2-/- mice performed normally in the Morris water-maze and auditory trace fear conditioning tasks but were impaired in the context-cued trace fear conditioning, step-down and step-through passive avoidance tasks. Furthermore, long-term potentiation (LTP) could be induced for 180 minutes in hippocampal slices of WTs and Cav3.2+/- mice, whereas LTP persisted for only 120 minutes in Cav3.2-/- mice. To determine whether the hippocampal formation is responsible for the impaired behavioral phenotypes , we next performed experiments locally knock down function of the Cav3.2 T-type Ca2+ channel in the hippocampus. Wild-type mice infused with mibefradil exhibited similar behaviors as homozygous knockouts. Finally, microarray analyses indicated that Cav3.2-/- and WT mice presented distinct hippocampal transcriptome profiles. Taken together, our results demonstrate that retrieval of context-associated memory is dependent on the Cav3.2 T-type Ca2+ channel. After WT and Cav3.2 KO mice retrieval of context-associated memory, three right hippocampi of each group were dissected, pooled together and homogenized. The products of experimental and naive groups were used to acquire expression profiles of a total of 29,922 unique genes. Two replicates per group.

Project description:CTCF is an organizer of higher-order chromatin structure, and regulates gene expression. Genetic studies have implicated mutations in CTCF in intellectual disabilities. However, there is no knowledge of the role of CTCF-mediated chromatin structure in learning and memory. We show that depletion of CTCF in postmitotic neurons, or depletion in the hippocampus of adult mice through viral-mediated knockout, induces deficits in learning and memory. These deficits in learning and memory at the beginning of adulthood are correlated with impaired long term potentiation and reduced spine density, with no changes in basal synaptic transmission and dendritic morphogenesis and arborization. Cognitive disabilities are associated with downregulation of cadherin and learning-related genes. In addition, CTCF knockdown attenuates fear conditioning-induced hippocampal gene expression of key learning genes and loss of long-range interactions at the BDNF and Arc loci. This study identifies CTCF-dependent gene expression regulation and DNA structure as regulators of learning and memory.

Project description:Greater than 50% of patients who survive neuroinvasive West Nile virus (WNV), a mosquito-borne, positive-sense strand flavivirus, exhibit cognitive sequelae including memory impairments which may last several years. High survival rates from WNV neuroinvasive disease (WNND) (>90%) have led to hundreds to thousands of cases of WNV-mediated neurologic impairment accruing annually, yet underlying mechanisms responsible for these impairments have not been investigated. Here, we established a novel murine model of recovery from WNND in which intracranial inoculation of a mutant WNV (WNV-NS5-E218A) leads to rates of survival and cognitive dysfunction that mirror human WNND. WNV-NS5-E218A-recovered mice exhibit impaired spatial learning and persistently phagocytic microglia without significant loss of hippocampal neurons or brain volume. Whole transcriptome analysis of hippocampi from WNV-NS5-E218A-recovered mice with poor spatial learning was performed in order to identify target pathways and molecules underlying cognitive impairments during WNND recovery. Total RNA obtained from isolated murine hippocampus at 25 days post-mock or WNV-NS5-E218A intracranial infection.
