Project description:Though widely consumed, current research on the neural mechanisms of arecoline, caffeine, and nicotine remains limited, and the similarities and differences of these three substances on the nervous system are still not clear. This study used RNA-seq to analyze the gene expression in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) of mice, and further compared the behavioral changes through open field and conditioned place preference (CPP), exploring the effects of different psychoactive substances at the transcriptional and behavioral levels. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis revealed that nicotine and caffeine significantly alter biological processes related to synaptic function, and KEGG pathway analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes in the nicotine-treated group were significantly more enriched in pathways related to substance dependence compared to the other two treatment groups, with arecoline showing the least enrichment. Furthermore, only acute caffeine treatment significantly increased mouse activity, and only nicotine induced CPP. These results provided a scientific basis for evaluating the effects of arecoline, caffeine, and nicotine on the nervous system.

Project description:Target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) is implicated in growth control and aging from yeast to humans. Fission yeast is emerging as a popular model organism to study TOR signaling, although rapamycin has been thought to not affect cell growth in this organism. Here we analyzed the effects of rapamycin and caffeine, singly and combined, on multiple cellular processes in fission yeast. The two drugs led to diverse and specific phenotypes that depended on TORC1 signaling pathway inhibition, including prolonged chronological lifespan, inhibition of global translation, inhibition of cell growth and division, and reprogramming of global gene expression mimicking nitrogen starvation. Rapamycin and caffeine differentially affected these various TORC1-dependent processes. Combined drug treatment augmented most phenotypes and effectively blocked cell growth. Although rapamycin showed a much more subtle effect on global translation than did caffeine, rapamycin was more effective in prolonging chronological lifespan. Rapamycin prolonged the lifespan of non-growing cells only when applied during the growth phase but not when applied after cells had stopped proliferation. The doses of rapamycin and caffeine strongly correlated with growth inhibition and with lifespan extension. This comprehensive analysis will inform future studies into TORC1 function and cellular aging in fission yeast and beyond.

Project description:Our previous research demonstrated that caffeine exposure on embryonic day (E) 8.5 increased body weight, altered cardiac morphology and function in adult male mice. However, these adverse effects were not observed in adenosine A1 receptor knockout (A1AR-/-) mice. Our hypothesis is that A1AR action mediates changes in DNA methylation patterns in mice exposed in utero to caffeine and that these changes in methylation lead to long-term effects in adult mice. To test this hypothesis, DNA Methylation 2.1M Deluxe Promoter Arrays (NimbleGen) were used to examine the methylation patterns of DNA isolated from adult left ventricles of the A1AR knockout line exposed to 20 mg/kg caffeine at E8.5 in utero. In A1AR+/+ mice, 4,896 hypermethylated and 2,823 hypomethylated regions were discovered in the left ventricles of the caffeine group compared to the normal saline group. In A1AR-/- mice, 1,024 hypermethylated and 1,757 hypomethylated regions were found in the caffeine group. The differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in the caffeine treated A1AR+/+ hearts mapped to 6,148 genes, 4,853 promoters, 4,111 primary transcripts, 816 CpG islands, and 98 miRNAs. Functional annotation clustering of genes revealed that many genes were involved in the development of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and other heart diseases, which may explain our earlier findings of thickening of the left ventricular wall after in utero caffeine treatment. The methylation changes in several DMRs, mef2c, ins2, tnnt2, and myh6, were validated by bisulfite sequencing. In summary, in utero caffeine exposure caused DNA methylation changes in adult left ventricles and that these changes may be mediated by A1ARs. Pregnant mice were injected at embryonic day 8.5 with 0.9% NaCl (vehicle) or 20 mg/kg caffeine in vehicle i.p. Pups were born and raised until 8-10 weeks of age. Analysis was performed on the following groups vehicle A1AR+/+ (veh+/+), vehicle A1AR-/- (veh-/-), caffeine A1AR+/+ (caff+/+), and caffeine A1AR-/- (caff-/-). Genomic DNA from left ventricles of adult male mice was used. Two biological replicates were measured for each group.

Project description:Genetic variants in gene regulatory sequences can modify gene expression and mediate the molecular response to environmental stimuli. In addition, genotype–environment interactions (GxE) contribute to complex traits such as cardiovascular disease. Caffeine is the most widely consumed stimulant and is known to produce a vascular response. To investigate GxE for caffeine, we treated vascular endothelial cells with caffeine and used a massively parallel reporter assay to measure allelic effects on gene regulation for over 43,000 genetic variants. We identified 665 variants with allelic effects on gene regulation and 6 variants that regulate the gene expression response to caffeine (GxE, false discovery rate [FDR] < 5%). When overlapping our GxE results with expression quantitative trait loci colocalized with coronary artery disease and hypertension, we dissected their regulatory mechanisms and showed a modulatory role for caffeine. Our results demonstrate that massively parallel reporter assay is a powerful approach to identify and molecularly characterize GxE in the specific context of caffeine consumption.

Project description:To screen for xenobiotic-metabolizing-enzyme genes (XME) induced by caffeine exposure, a microarray experiment (performed with a Drosophila pangenomic array (Agilent 4 X 44K) was carried out between control and individuals exposed to caffeine (18mM ). Among 23401 genes consistantly found in the three biological replicates, 13108 showed a significant variation. 749 genes were over-expressed whereas 1518 were under-expressed. Interestingly, several genes belonging to all major classes of detoxification enzymes including XME were among the most highly induced such as CYP12d1, CYP6a8 and CYP6d5. Caffeine ingestion induced gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster male thorax and abdomen was mesured at 12h after exposure to doses of 0, 18mM of caffeine. Three independant experiments were performed at each dose using different drosophila for each experiment.

Project description:Proteasomes hydrolyze most intracellular proteins. Immunoproteasome is a specific form of proteasome implicated in inflammation, cancer and autoimmune diseases. Modulation of immunoproteasome activity and content is a promising direction for the management of socially important pathologies. Using previously obtained reporter colorectal cancer cell lines, we tested how various commonly used compounds including ibuprofen, acetylsalicylic acid, vitamin C, caffeine and others, affect immunoproteasome expression. Methods: Immunoproteasome subunit expression was assessed by flow cytometry, qPCR and Western blot. Proteasome activity was tested using fluorogenic substrates and the activity probe. Transcriptome analysis was performed to identify patterns of gene expression changes. Results: Among the tested compounds caffeine was the only drug that revealed modest reduction in quantity of immunoproteasomes. The effect of caffeine on immunoproteasomes varied between cell lines and was stronger as a result of prolonged treatment. The reduction of immunoproteasome content in cells treated with caffeine coincided with decreased expression of immunoproteasome subunits and downregulation of Nrf3 transcription factor and a PAC4 proteasome assembly chaperone. Moreover, decreased expression of immunoproteasome subunits in cells treated with caffeine coincided with the reduction of oxidative stress levels. Caffeine did not affect the degradation of immunoproteasomes by autophagy. Conclusions: Modulation of immunoproteasome expression by caffeine might help to optimize existing and develop novel strategies for the treatment of colorectal cancer and several autoimmune diseases.

Project description:Epidemiological studies suggest that consumption of caffeine, the most commonly consumed psychoactive substances found in coffee, tea or soft drinks reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD). While previous studies employing transgenic AD mouse models reported on reduced amyloid plaque load or an amelioration of behavioral deficits, there is only limited information on its potential effects on neurodegeneration. In the current study, we assessed whether long-term caffeine consumption affects hippocampal neuron loss and associated behavioral deficits in the Tg4-42 mouse model of AD. Treatment over a 4 months period reduced hippocampal neuron loss, rescued learning and memory deficits and ameliorates impaired neurogenesis. Neuron-specific hippocampal transcriptome analysis revealed an altered expression profile with an up-regulation of genes linked to synaptic function and processes, as well as neural progenitor proliferation. Treatment of 5xFAD mice with the same paradigm also rescued behavioral deficits, however, without affecting extracellular amyloid-beta (Abeta) levels or altered APP processing.
