Genome-wide profilings of transcriptome and translatome in mouse hippocampi after contextual fear conditioning

ABSTRACT: Memory stabilization after learning requires transcriptional and translational regulations in the brain, yet the temporal molecular changes following learning have not been explored at the genomic scale. We here employed ribosome profiling and RNA sequencing to quantify the translational status and transcript levels in mouse hippocampus following contextual fear conditioning. We identified 104 genes that are dynamically regulated. Intriguingly, our analysis revealed novel repressive regulations in the hippocampus: translational suppression of ribosomal protein-coding genes at basal state; learning-induced early translational repression of specific genes; and late persistent suppression of a subset of genes via inhibition of ESR1/ERα signaling. Further behavioral analyses revealed that Nrsn1, one of the newly identified genes undergoing rapid translational repression, can act as a memory suppressor gene. This study unveils the yet unappreciated importance of gene repression mechanisms in memory formation.

Genome-wide maps of chromatin changes uppon contextual fear conditioning in mice (RNA-seq)

Project description:The ability to form memories is a prerequisite for an organismâs behavioural adaptation to environmental changes. At the molecular level, the acquisition and maintenance of memory requires changes in chromatin modifications. In an effort to unravel the epigenetic network underlying both short- and long-term memory, we examined chromatin modification changes in two distinct mouse brain regions, two cell-types, and three time-points before and after contextual learning. Here we show that histone modifications predominantly change during memory acquisition and correlate surprisingly little with changes in gene expression. While long-lasting changes are almost exclusive to neurons, learning-related histone modification and DNA methylation changes occur also in non-neuronal cell types, suggesting a functional role for non-neuronal cells in epigenetic learning. Finally, our data provides evidence for a molecular framework of memory acquisition and maintenance, wherein DNA methylation could alter the expression and splicing of genes involved in functional plasticity and synaptic wiring. We examined chromatin modification changes in two distinct mouse brain regions (CA1 and ACC), two cell-types (neurons, non-neurons), and three time-points before and after contextual learning (naive, 1h, 4w).

Metabolomic profiling of the rat hippocampus across developmental ages and after learning

Project description:Little is known about how the hippocampal metabolomic profile changes across development and in response to learning at different ages. To fill this knowledge gap, we employed an untargeted metabolomic analyses in rats to determine how the hippocampal metabolome changes over the course of post-natal development under basal conditions and following inhibitory avoidance (IA) training, an aversive episodic event. We found that unique metabolomic profiles accompany learning at different ages. Subsequent biochemical and behavioral studies based on unique metabolomic regulations in the infant hippocampus established that infantile learning selectively recruits the glutathione-mediated antioxidant defenses for the formation of infantile memory.

The intellectual disability risk gene Kdm5b regulates long term memory consolidation in the hippocampus

Project description:The histone lysine demethylase KDM5B has been implicated in recessive intellectual disability disorders and heterozygous, protein truncating variants in KDM5B are associated with reduced cognitive function in the normal adult population. To help distinguish between developmental and demethylase-dependent functions of KDM5B in hippocampus-dependent learning and memory, we studied mice homozygous for a Kdm5bDARID allele that lacks demethylase activity. Demethylase-deficient Kdm5bDARID/DARID mice exhibited hyperactivity and long-term memory deficits in hippocampus-dependent learning tasks. The expression of immediate early, activity-dependent genes was downregulated in mice in the home cage (baseline) and hyperactivated upon learning stimulus compared to wildtype mice. The expression of other learning-associated genes was also significantly altered in the Kdm5bDARID/DARID hippocampus. These findings identify KDM5B as a critical regulator of gene expression and synaptic plasticity in the adult hippocampus and suggest that at least some of the cognitive phenotypes associated with KDM5B gene variants are caused by direct effects on learning and memory mechanisms.

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.

Cav3.2 T-type calcium channel-dependent gene expression after retrieval of context-associated memory (right hippocampus)

Project description:Among all voltage-gated calcium channels, the T-type Ca2+ channels encoded by the Cav3 genes are highly expressed in the hippocampus, which is associated with contextual, temporal and spatial learning and memory. However, the specific involvement of the Cav3.2 T-type Ca2+ channel in these hippocampus-dependent types of learning and memory remains unclear. To investigate the functional role of the 1H channel in learning and memory, we subjected Cav3.2 homozygous, heterozygous knockout and their wild-type littermates to hippocampus-dependent behavioral tasks, including trace fear conditioning (TFC), the Morris water-maze and passive avoidance. The Cav3.2-/- mice performed normally in the Morris water-maze and auditory trace fear conditioning tasks but were impaired in the context-cued trace fear conditioning, step-down and step-through passive avoidance tasks. Furthermore, long-term potentiation (LTP) could be induced for 180 minutes in hippocampal slices of WTs and Cav3.2+/- mice, whereas LTP persisted for only 120 minutes in Cav3.2-/- mice. To determine whether the hippocampal formation is responsible for the impaired behavioral phenotypes , we next performed experiments locally knock down function of the Cav3.2 T-type Ca2+ channel in the hippocampus. Wild-type mice infused with mibefradil exhibited similar behaviors as homozygous knockouts. Finally, microarray analyses indicated that Cav3.2-/- and WT mice presented distinct hippocampal transcriptome profiles. Taken together, our results demonstrate that retrieval of context-associated memory is dependent on the Cav3.2 T-type Ca2+ channel. After WT and Cav3.2 KO mice retrieval of context-associated memory, three right hippocampi of each group were dissected, pooled together and homogenized. The products of experimental and naive groups were used to acquire expression profiles of a total of 29,922 unique genes. Two replicates per group.
