Rest-phase light disrupts hippocampal clock function and impairs object recognition memory

ABSTRACT: Light exposure during the circadian rest phase is common during shift work and late-night activity, but its effects on memory remain unclear. Here, we show that 6-day rest-phase light exposure (RPL), which combines mistimed light exposure with enforced wakefulness (EW) during the circadian rest phase, impairs long-term object recognition memory but not short-delay spatial memory. Behavioral testing, single-nucleus RNA sequencing, and ex vivo electrophysiology show that RPL alters SCN clock organization and output signaling, reduces hippocampal clock-gene rhythmicity, disrupts phase-dependent synaptic gene expression in dentate gyrus and CA1 neurons, and reduces CA1 long-term potentiation. Maintaining EW without light exposure preserved object recognition memory and CA1 clock-gene expression, showing that mistimed light exposure is required for both effects in this model. Local hippocampal dexamethasone treatment also restored day–night differences in hippocampal clock-gene expression and preserved memory under RPL, supporting a role for hippocampal clock-related regulation in memory preservation. Together, these findings show that RPL alters clock-related regulation in the SCN and hippocampus and impairs object recognition memory.

Subregion-specific proteomic signature in the hippocampus for memory formation in adult mice

Project description:The hippocampal formation is a brain structure essential for higher-order cognitive functions. It has exquisite differences in anatomical organization and cellular composition, and hippocampal sub-regions have different properties and functional roles. Areas CA1 and CA3 in particular, are key sub-regions for learning and memory formation that fulfill complementary but specific functions. The molecular basis for such specific properties and the link to learning and memory remain unknown. Here using a SWATH-MS proteomic approach and bioinformatic tools, we identify a selective proteomic signature in area CA1 and CA3, and reveal their specific dynamics during memory formation. We show that 30% of all quantifiable proteins are differentially expressed in area CA1 and CA3 at baseline, and that each proteome responds differently during the formation of memory for object or object location. Using clustering and cross-correlational analyses, we outline specific temporal proteomic profiles and an increased correlation between both forms of memory within area CA1, but not within area CA3. These results provide new insight into a proteomic basis for hippocampal sub-region molecular and functional specificity.

Peripheral Substance P induces deficits in hippocampal synaptic plasticity and memory

Project description:Substance P (SP) is a neuropeptide that functions in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Although substance P-containing neurons convey nociceptive information to the spinal cord and regulate inflammatory responses in peripheral tissues, the impact of a peripheral rise in substance P on hippocampal functions such as spatial learning and memory remains unclear. Here, we show that chronic peripheral substance P significantly impaired performance in both the object place recognition (OPR) and novel object recognition (NOR) tests compared to saline controls. Electrophysiology revealed a marked reduction in CA3‑CA1 LTP without changes in basal synaptic transmission. RNA‑Seq identified 77 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and enrichment analysis highlighted pathways related to synaptic transmission and learning/memory.

Genome-wide RNAseq of hippocampi from single time point (2 hours post 0.75 mg/mL corticosterone injection) in adrenalectomized rats

Project description:Disrupted circadian activity is associated with many neuropsychiatric disorders. A major coordinator of circadian biological systems is adrenal glucocorticoid secretion which exhibits a pronounced pre-awakening peak that regulates metabolic, immune, and cardiovascular processes, as well as mood and cognitive function. Loss of this circadian rhythm during corticosteroid therapy is often associated with memory impairment. Surprisingly the mechanisms that underlie this deficit are not understood. In this study, in rats, we report that circadian regulation of the hippocampal transcriptome integrates crucial functional networks that link corticosteroid-inducible gene regulation to synaptic plasticity processes via an intra-hippocampal circadian transcriptional clock. Further, these circadian hippocampal functions were significantly impacted by corticosteroid treatment delivered in a five day oral dosing treatment protocol. Rhythmic expression of the hippocampal transcriptome, as well as the circadian regulation of synaptic plasticity were misaligned with the natural light/dark circadian entraining cues, resulting in memory impairment in hippocampal-dependent behavior. These findings provide mechanistic insights into how the transcriptional clock machinery within the hippocampus is influenced by corticosteroid exposure, leading to adverse effects on critical hippocampal functions, as well as identifying a molecular basis for memory deficits in patients treated with long-acting synthetic corticosteroids.

Tet2 negatively regulates memory fidelity

Project description:Tet2 functions in the CA1 as a negative regulator of long-term memory, and its haploinsufficiency in glutamatergic neurons or knockdown across the CA1 in mice is sufficient to enhance the fidelity of hippocampal-dependent spatial and associative memory.

Disruption of circadian rhythms by ambient light during neu-rodevelopment leads to autistic-like molecular and behavioral alterations in adult mice

Project description:Although circadian rhythms are thought to be essential for maintaining body health, the effects of chronic circadian disruption during neurodevelopment remain elusive. Here, using the “Short Day” (SD) mouse model, in which an 8h/8h Light/Dark (LD) cycle was applied during E1-P42, we investigated molecular and behavioral changes after circadian disruption in mice. Adult SD mice fully entrained to the 8h/8h LD cycle and their circadian oscillations of clock protein PERI-OD1 and PERIOD2 were disrupted in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and the hippocampus. RNA-seq revealed changes in the transcriptome associated with neurodevelopment, translational control, and autism. Western blotting and immunostaining identified hyperactivation of the mTOR and MAPK signaling and enhanced global protein synthesis in the hippocampus of SD mice. Electrophysiological recording uncovered enhanced excitatory but attenuated inhibitory synaptic transmission in the hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. These functional changes are corroborated by immature dendritic spine morphology in these neurons. Lastly, autistic-like be-havioral changes, including impaired social interaction and communication, increased repetitive behaviors and impaired novel object recognition and location memory, were found in SD mice. Together, these findings demonstrate autistic-like phenotypes in SD mice and highlight a critical role for circadian rhythm in neurodevelopment.

Astrocyte-secreted IL-33 mediates homeostatic synaptic plasticity in the adult hippocampus

Project description:Hippocampal synaptic plasticity is important for learning and memory formation. Homeostatic synaptic plasticity is a specific form of synaptic plasticity that is induced upon prolonged changes in neuronal activity to maintain network homeostasis. While astrocytes are important regulators of synaptic transmission and plasticity, it is largely unclear how they interact with neurons to regulate synaptic plasticity at the circuit level. Here, we show that neuronal activity blockade selectively increases the expression and secretion of IL-33 (interleukin-33) by astrocytes in the hippocampal cornu ammonis 1 (CA1) subregion. This IL-33 stimulates an increase in excitatory synapses and neurotransmission through the activation of neuronal IL-33 receptor complex and synaptic recruitment of the scaffold protein PSD-95. We found that acute administration of tetrodotoxin in hippocampal slices or inhibition of hippocampal CA1 excitatory neurons by optogenetic manipulation increases IL-33 expression in CA1 astrocytes. Furthermore, IL-33 administration in vivo promotes the formation of functional excitatory synapses in hippocampal CA1 neurons, whereas conditional knockout of IL-33 in CA1 astrocytes decreases the number of excitatory synapses therein. Importantly, blockade of IL-33 and its receptor signaling in vivo by intracerebroventricular administration of its decoy receptor inhibits homeostatic synaptic plasticity in CA1 pyramidal neurons and impairs spatial memory formation in mice. These results collectively reveal an important role of astrocytic IL-33 in mediating the negative-feedback signaling mechanism in homeostatic synaptic plasticity, providing insights into how astrocytes maintain hippocampal network homeostasis.

Circadian rhythms in microglia mediate early life synaptic development in a sex-specific manner.

Project description:Children today experience widespread circadian disruption from nighttime screen use and irregular sleep, yet how internal clocks shape brain development is unclear. Adolescence is a critical window when synaptic connectivity is refined, in part by microglia that engulf synaptic elements. Here, in adolescent mice, we show that hippocampal microglia exhibit diurnal transcriptional rhythms, with synaptic pruning gene expression peaking during the rest phase. Inducible deletion of the core clock gene Bmal1 in microglia abolishes these rhythms and alters developing hippocampal synapses in a sex-dependent manner. In males, clock disruption increases synapse engulfment, reduces dendritic spine density, and decreases synaptic connectivity; females show similar reductions in synaptic connectivity without overt postsynaptic structural changes. Microglial clock disruption also induces broad, sex-specific changes in synapse-related gene expression that overlap with neurodevelopmental disorder pathways and lead to impaired memory and sociability, indicating microglial clocks as key regulators of developmental synapse refinement.

Transcription profiling by array of hippocampal regions CA1, CA3, and DG from aged, calorically restricted rats

Project description:Aging is associated with a decline in hippocampal mediated learning and memory, a process which can be ameliorated by dietary (caloric) restriction. We used Affymetrix gene expression analysis to monitor changes in three regions of the hippocampus (CA1, CA3, DG) of middle aged (18 months) and old (28 month) rats that were exposed to dietary restriction. Old rats were determined to be good performers (GP) or poor performers (PP) in behavioural tests to assess their hippocampal function. We used Affymetrix gene expression analysis to monitor changes in three regions of the hippocampus (CA1, CA3, DG) of middle aged (18 months) and old (28 month) rats that were exposed to dietary restriction.
