Molecular mechanisms for changing brain connectivity in mice and humans (brain samples)

ABSTRACT: The goal of this study was to examine commonalities in the molecular basis of learning in mice and humans. In our previous work on mouse learning we suppressed activity in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and hippocampus (HC) and found the stages for which each area was critical in performing a 2-choice visuospatial discrimination task. Our current study began by examining gene expression changes in mouse ACC and HC as a result of learning a new skill. Genes upregulated in both brain areas were used as candidates to examine commonalities between genes upregulated in mouse and human blood. We used microarrays to identify candidate genes and real-time PCR to compare the mouse results with two forms of human learning. One form involved training in a working memory task (network training), the other a generalized training shown to change many networks (meditation). We identified two genes that were upregulated in both mice and humans following training. We believe these genes act to regulate pathways that influence NF-κB, a factor previously found to be related to enhanced synaptic function and learning.

Activation of a Hippocampal CREB-pCREB-miRNA-MEF2 Axis Modulates Individual Variation of Spatial Learning and Memory Capability

Project description:To identify novel miRNAs involved in the regulation of learning and memory formation, we used the Morris water maze task to distinguish inbred wild-type C57BL/6J mice with good or poor learning and memory capability. C57BL/6J mice which undergo water maze task were sacrificed immediately after training. The hippocampus was harvested for miRNAs expression analysis with miRNA array (Phalanx Mouse & Rat miRNA OneArray® 2.0, annotation based on: miRBase release 15). These differentially expressed miRNAs were applied for further investigation.

The Neuron-specific chromatin regulatory subunit BAF53b is necessary for synaptic plasticity and memory.

Project description:We performed an RNA Sequencing experiment on dorsal hippocampal tissue from four groups of animals: Baf53b+/- homecage (Baf53b+/- HC); Baf53b+/- behavior (Baf53b+/- Beh); wildtype homecage (WT HC); and wildtype behavior (WT Beh). Homecage animals were sacrificed directly from the animal's cage. Behavior animals were sacrificed thirty minutes following Object Location Memory training. The objective of this study was to examine activity regulated gene expression following a learning event (HC vs Beh) in wildtype and Baf53b+/- mutant mice. Examination of gene expression following a learning event in wildtype and Baf53b+/- mutant mice in dorsal hippocampus.

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Chaperones Are Effector Genes Mediating Long-Term Memory Consolidation

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.

FoxO6 regulates memory consolidation and synaptic function.

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.

HDAC3-mediated regulation of the circadian gene Per1 contributes to age-related impairments in hippocampal memory and synaptic plasticity

Project description:We performed an RNA Sequencing experiment on dorsal hippocampal tissue from six groups of animals: Aging (18-20-month-old) HDAC3flox/flox homecage (H3F-HC); Aging (18-20-month-old) HDAC3flox/flox 60min post training (H3F-BV); Aging (18-20-month-old) wildtype homecage (OWT-HC); Aging (18-20-month-old) wildtype 60min post training (OWT-BV); Young (2-4-month-old) wildtype homecage (YWT-HC); Young (2-4-month-old) wildtype 60min post training (YWT-BV). Homecage animals were sacrificed directly from the animal's cage. Behavior animals were sacrificed sixty minutes following a 10min Object Location Memory training session.

Harnessing Bronchoalveolar Lavage Metagenomics for Distinguishing Lung Cancer from Pulmonary Infectious Diseases

Project description:Recent progress in unbiased metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) allows simultaneous examination of microbial and host genetic material in a single test. Leveraging affordable bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) mNGS data, we employed machine learning to create a diagnostic approach distinguishing lung cancer from pulmonary infections, conditions prone to misdiagnosis in clinical settings. This prospective study analyzed BALF-mNGS data from lung cancer and pulmonary infection patients, delineating differences in DNA/RNA microbial composition, bacteriophage abundances, and host responses, including gene expression, transposable element levels, immune cell composition, and tumor fraction derived from copy number variation (CNV). Integrating these metrics into a host/microbe metagenomics-driven machine learning model (Model VI) demonstrated robustness, achieving an AUC of 0.87 (95% CI = 0.857-0.883), sensitivity = 73.8%, and specificity = 84.5% in the training cohort, and an AUC of 0.831 (95% CI = 0.819-0.843), sensitivity = 67.1%, and specificity = 94.4% in the validation cohort for distinguishing lung cancer from pulmonary infections. The application of a rule-in and rule-out strategy-based composite predictive model significantly enhances accuracy (ACC) in distinguishing between lung cancer and tuberculosis (ACC=0.913), fungal infection (ACC=0.955), and bacterial infection (ACC=0.836). These findings highlight the potential of cost-effective mNGS-based analysis as a valuable tool for early differentiation between lung cancer and pulmonary infections, offering significant benefits through a single comprehensive testing.
