Transcriptomic profiling of astrocytes under three extracellular acidification conditions

ABSTRACT: Extracellular acidosis is a common feature of multiple pathological microenvironments, such as ischemia, tumors, inflammation, metabolic dysregulation, and tissue injury. Astrocytes are central regulators of brain homeostasis and are highly responsive to changes in extracellular pH. However, transcriptomic resources comparing different experimentally induced acidotic conditions in astrocytes remain limited. Here, we generated an RNA sequencing dataset for the mouse astrocyte cell line C8-D1A exposed to three extracellular acidification-related conditions, including lactic acid treatment, 15% CO2 exposure, and NaHCO3-low medium, together with untreated controls. This dataset captures both shared and condition-specific transcriptomic responses of astrocytes under distinct extracellular acidification paradigms. Functional enrichment analyses highlighted biological pathways related to stress response, metabolism, inflammatory signaling, and cellular adaptation to extracellular acidification. This RNA-seq dataset provides a useful resource for studying astrocyte responses to different forms of extracellular acidotic stress and may facilitate the identification of common and distinct molecular programs associated with acidification-relevant cellular states.

Project description:Kidneys are essential for acid-base homeostasis, especially when organisms cope with changes in acid or base dietary intake. Because collecting ducts constitute the final site for regulating urine acid-base balance, we undertook to identify the gene network involved in acid-base transport and regulation in the mouse outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD). For this purpose, we combined kidney functional studies and quantitative analysis of gene expression in OMCDs, by transcriptome and candidate gene approaches, during metabolic acidosis. Furthermore, to better delineate the set of genes concerned with acid-base disturbance, the OMCD transcriptome of acidotic mice was both compared to that of normal mice and mice undergoing an adaptative response through potassium depletion. Metabolic acidosis, achieved through a NH4Cl-supplemented diet for 3 days, not only induced acid secretion, but also stimulated the aldosterone and vasopressin systems and triggered cell proliferation. Accordingly, metabolic acidosis increased the expression of genes involved in acid-base transport, sodium transport, water transport and cell proliferation. In particular, more than 25 transcripts encoding proteins involved in urine acidification (subunits of H-ATPase, kidney anion exchanger, chloride channel Clcka, carbonic anhydrase 2, aldolase) were co-regulated during acidosis. We propose that these trancripts cooperating to a same function and co-regulated during acidosis constitute a functional regulon. Keywords: SAGE; Kidney collecting duct; Mouse; Metabolic acidosis; V-ATPase Approximately 650 OMCDs were microdissected, as previously described from collagenase-treated kidneys of 6 mice fed the NH4Cl-supplemented diet for 3 days. 20960 tags were sequenced in the acidosis SAGE library. After withdrawing duplicate ditags and linker sequences, the 19146 tags remaining corresponded to 8847 different tags.This acidosis library is similar in size and diversity to the normal mouse OMCD libraries previously generated (GEO accession number : GSM23478). The tag abundance in the two library was compared and discussed.

Project description:MartínJiménez2017 - Genome-scale reconstruction of the human astrocyte metabolic network This model is described in the article: Genome-Scale Reconstruction of the Human Astrocyte Metabolic Network. Martín-Jiménez CA, Salazar-Barreto D, Barreto GE, González J. Front Aging Neurosci 2017; 9: 23 Abstract: Astrocytes are the most abundant cells of the central nervous system; they have a predominant role in maintaining brain metabolism. In this sense, abnormal metabolic states have been found in different neuropathological diseases. Determination of metabolic states of astrocytes is difficult to model using current experimental approaches given the high number of reactions and metabolites present. Thus, genome-scale metabolic networks derived from transcriptomic data can be used as a framework to elucidate how astrocytes modulate human brain metabolic states during normal conditions and in neurodegenerative diseases. We performed a Genome-Scale Reconstruction of the Human Astrocyte Metabolic Network with the purpose of elucidating a significant portion of the metabolic map of the astrocyte. This is the first global high-quality, manually curated metabolic reconstruction network of a human astrocyte. It includes 5,007 metabolites and 5,659 reactions distributed among 8 cell compartments, (extracellular, cytoplasm, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticle, Golgi apparatus, lysosome, peroxisome and nucleus). Using the reconstructed network, the metabolic capabilities of human astrocytes were calculated and compared both in normal and ischemic conditions. We identified reactions activated in these two states, which can be useful for understanding the astrocytic pathways that are affected during brain disease. Additionally, we also showed that the obtained flux distributions in the model, are in accordance with literature-based findings. Up to date, this is the most complete representation of the human astrocyte in terms of inclusion of genes, proteins, reactions and metabolic pathways, being a useful guide for in-silico analysis of several metabolic behaviors of the astrocyte during normal and pathologic states.
