CREB-Regulated Transcription During Glycogen Synthesis in Astrocytes

ABSTRACT: Glycogen storage, conversion and utilization in astrocytes play important roles in brain energy metabolism. The conversion of glycogen to lactate through glycolysis occurs through the coordinated activities of various enzymes, and inhibition of this process can impair different brain processes including formation of long-lasting memories. To replenish depleted glycogen stores, astrocytes undergo glycogen synthesis, a cellular process that has been shown to require transcription and translation during specific stimulation paradigms. However, the detailed nuclear signaling mechanisms and transcriptional regulation during glycogen synthesis in astrocytes remain to be explored. In this report, we study the molecular details of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-induced glycogen synthesis in astrocytes. VIP is a potent neuropeptide that triggers glycogenolysis followed by glycogen synthesis in astrocytes. We show evidence that VIP-induced glycogen synthesis requires CREB-mediated transcription that is Protein Kinase C and calcium-dependent but is independent of Protein Kinase A. In parallel to CREB activation, we demonstrate that VIP also triggers nuclear accumulation of the CREB coactivator CRTC2 only in astrocytic nuclei that also requires Protein Kinase C activity. Transcriptome profiles of VIP-induced astrocytes identified robust CREB-dependent transcription of glycogenic genes including the upregulation of Ppp1r3c along with robust repression of Phkg1, the catalytic subunit of phosphorylase kinase. Overall, our data demonstrates the importance of CREB-mediated transcription in astrocytes during stimulus-driven glycogenesis.

Transcription profiling of Drosophila after fasting

Project description:In fasted mammals, glucose homeostasis is maintained through activation of the cAMP responsive CREB coactivator TORC2, which stimulates the gluconeogenic program in concert with the forkhead transcription factor FOXO1. Here we show that starvation also triggers TORC activation in Drosophila, where it maintains energy balance by promoting the expression of CREB target genes in the brain. TORC mutant flies have reduced glycogen and lipid stores, and they are sensitive to starvation as well as oxidative stress. Neuronal TORC expression rescued starvation and oxidative stress sensitivity as well as CREB target gene expression in TORC mutants. During refeeding, increases in insulin signaling inhibited TORC activity in wild type flies by stimulating the Salt Inducible Kinase 2 (SIK2)-mediated phosphorylation and subsequent degradation of TORC. Depletion of neuronal SIK2 increased TORC activity and enhanced resistance to starvation and oxidative stress in adult flies. As disruption of insulin signaling, either by ablation of insulin-producing cells (IPCs) or by mutation of the insulin receptor adaptor gene chico, also increased TORC activity, our results illustrate the importance of an insulin-regulated pathway in brain that promotes energy balance in Drosophila. Experiment Overall Design: Male fly heads were collected after 24h fasting, and RNA was extracted using RNAeasy kit.

The glycogen scaffolding protein PTG coordinately regulates glycogen and lipid storage

Project description:Glycogen and lipid are major storage forms of energy that are tightly regulated by hormones and metabolic signals. Here, we evaluate the role of the glycogenic scaffolding protein PTG/R5 in energy homeostasis. We demonstrate that feeding mice a high-fat diet (HFD) increases hepatic glycogen, corresponding to increased PTG levels, increased activity of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and induced expression of sterol regulatory element binding protein 1c (SREBP1c). PTG promoter activity was increased by activation of mTORC1 and SREBP1, and PTG and glycogen levels were augmented in mice and cells in which mTORC1 is constitutively active. HFD-dependent increases in hepatic glycogen were prevented by deletion of the PTG gene in mice. Interestingly, PTG knockout mice fed HFD exhibited improved liver steatosis and decreased lipid levels in muscle, in coordination with decreased glycogen, suggesting possible crosstalk between glycogen and lipid stores in the overall control of energy metabolism. Together, these data suggest that transcriptional regulation of PTG by dietary and nutritional cues has profound effects on energy storage and metabolism.fi

Pharmacological inhibition of mitochondrial soluble adenylyl cyclase in astrocytes causes activation of AMP-activated protein kinase and induces breakdown of glycogen

Project description:Astrocytes contain the majority of the brain’s supply of glycogen which has been suggested to play an important role in neuronal synaptic plasticity. This may be mediated by release of glycogen-derived lactate or glutamine supporting neuronal metabolism or via induction of neuronal signaling pathways. The second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) can induce glycogen breakdown and activation of cytosolic soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) in astrocytes has been suggested to be the link between neuronal depolarization and glycogen breakdown. However, recent studies have revealed that sAC residing in the mitochondria rather than the cytosol is regulating mitochondrial bioenergetics, and that employing pharmacological inhibitors of sAC significantly alters cellular energy metabolism. This effect on energy metabolism could influence the interpretation of previous studies employing pharmacological inhibition of sAC. Here, we show that pharmacological inhibition of sAC lowers mitochondrial respiration, induces phosphorylation of the metabolic master switch AMPK, and decreases glycogen stores in cultured astrocytes. In light of this, we discuss the pharmacological challenges of investigating the functional and metabolic roles of sAC in astrocytes.

Transcription profiling of mouse C57Bl and nude strain xenografts from adherent and stem cells

Project description:Astrocytes may give raise to glioma, the most frequent primitive CNS tumours. TGFa, an EGF family member, is trophic for both astrocytes and gliomas cells and is frequently over-expressed in the early stages of glioma progression. Although its sole deregulation is insufficient to lead to cancerous transformation of astrocytes, it triggers their conversion into neural progenitor-like cells. We determined whether astrocytes converted into neural progenitor-like cells are more sensitive than their mature counterparts to cancerous transformation using gamma irradiation. Control and TGFa-treated astrocytes had identical cytogenomic profiles. Irradiation did not modify the lifespan of mouse astrocytes cultivated in serum-free medium. On the opposite TGFa-treated astrocytes were immortalized upon irradiation. Their ability to form colonies in methylcellulose medium, their cytogenomic anomalies, and the formation of high-grade glioma-like tumours after grafting into mice CNS testified to their cancerous transformation. Sham-irradiated TGFa-treated astrocytes displayed no evidence of transformation. These results demonstrate that instability of the mature astrocyte phenotype due to a single change in their environment is sufficient to sensitize them to an oncogenic stress. They allow proposing that TGFa does not only favour growth and survival of established gliomas but participates also to the earliest stages of their genesis.

Overexpression of nuclear receptor 5A1 induces and maintains an intermediate state of conversion between primed and naive pluripotency

Project description:Naive and primed human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have provided useful insights into the regulation of pluripotency. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating naive conversion remain elusive. Here, we report intermediate naive conversion induced by overexpressing nuclear receptor 5A1 (NR5A1) in hPSCs. The cells displayed some naive features, such as clonogenicity, glycogen synthase kinase 3β and mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) independence, expression of naive-associated genes, and two activated X chromosomes, but lacked others such as KLF17 expression, transforming growth factor β independence, and imprinted gene demethylation. Notably, NR5A1 negated MAPK activation by fibroblast growth factor 2, leading to cell-autonomous self-renewal independent of MAPK inhibition. These phenotypes may be associated with naive conversion, and were regulated by a DPPA2/4-dependent pathway that activates the selective expression of naive-associated genes. This study increases our understanding of the mechanisms regulating the conversion from primed to naive pluripotency.
