Transcription Profile of Aging and Cognition-Related Genes in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex.

ABSTRACT: This study focused on transcription in the medial PFC (mPFC) as a function of age and cognition. Young and aged F344 rats were characterized on tasks, attentional set shift and spatial memory, which depend on the mPFC and hippocampus, respectively. Differences in transcription associated with age and cognitive function were examined using RNA sequencing to construct transcriptomic profiles for the mPFC, white matter, and region CA1 of the hippocampus. The results indicate regional differences in vulnerability to aging associated with increased expression of immune and defense response genes and a decline in synaptic and neural activity genes. Importantly, we provide evidence for region specific transcription related to behavior. In particular, expression of transcriptional regulators and neural activity-related immediate-early genes (IEGs) are increased in the mPFC of aged animals that exhibit delayed set shift behavior; relative to age-matched animals that exhibit set shift behavior similar to younger animals.

Transcription profile of aging and cognitive-related genes in the medial prefrontal cortex and hippocampal region CA1

Project description:This study focused on transcription in the medial PFC (mPFC) as a function of age and cognition.

Differences in transcription associated with age and cognitive function were examined using RNA sequencing to construct transcriptomic profiles for the mPFC, white matter, and region CA1 of the hippocampus.

In particular, expression of transcriptional regulators and neural activity-related immediate-early genes (IEGs) are increased in the mPFC of aged animals that exhibit delayed set shift behavior; relative to age-matched animals that exhibit set shift behavior similar to younger animals. The study contains 11 young and 20 aged rats for the mPFC and CA1 samples, which were used to investigate expression patterns associated with aging and behavior. White matter samples were used to investigate an age-related effect with 8 young and 9 aged rats.

Proteome profiling in aging rat brain by LC-MS/MS

Project description:This study investigated proteome profile in the hippocampus, medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and striatum of 14, 18, 23, and 27 months old rats in order to see the effect of aging on proteins in these regions. Using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q Exactive HF Orbitrap mass spectrometry, we identified 1074 proteins in the hippocampus, 871 proteins in the mPFC, and 241 proteins the striatum. Ninety-seven, 25, and 5 of these proteins were differentially expressed with age in the hippocampus, mPFC, and striatum, respectively. Overall, aging causes divergent protein changes in specific brain regions, with the most prominent changes observed in the late-aged.

Identification of putative learning and memory genes in the dentate gyrus of aged rats following the Morris Water Maze

Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate whether the differences in memory decline associated with aging are a result of differences in gene expression. We first categorized age-unimpaired and age-impaired rats based on their performance in the Morris water maze, when compared to young rats. Then we isolated messenger RNA from the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus of each animal to interrogate Affymetrix RAE 230A rat genome microarrays. Supervised statistical analysis of the different groups of aged animals recognized 85 genes (p<0.005) that were significantly different in the dentate gyrus of aged rats that had learned the Morris water maze (MWM) paradigm when compared to learning impaired and a number of controls for stress, exercise and non-spatial learning. In addition, statistical analysis of the microarray data that included young and aged rats identified 1129 genes (p<0.005) that were differentially expressed between aged and young rats independent of behavior, but due to aging alone. Keywords: behavior comparison, age comparison

Early Stem Cell Aging in the Mature Brain

Project description:Stem cell dysfunction drives many age-related disorders. Identifying mechanisms that initially compromise stem cell behavior represent early targets to enhance stem cell function later in life. Here, we pinpoint multiple factors that disrupt neural stem cell (NSC) behavior in the adult hippocampus. Clonal tracing showed that NSCs exhibit asynchronous depletion by identifying short-term (ST-NSC) and long-term NSCs (LT-NSCs). ST-NSC divide rapidly to generate neurons and deplete in the young brain. Meanwhile, multipotent LT-NSCs are maintained for months, but are pushed out of homeostasis by lengthening quiescence. Single cell transcriptome analysis of deep NSC quiescence revealed several hallmarks of molecular aging in the mature brain and identified tyrosine-protein kinase Abl1 as an NSC pro-aging factor. Treatment with the Abl-inhibitor Imatinib increased NSC proliferation without impairing NSC maintenance in the middle-aged brain. Our study indicates that hippocampal NSCs are particularly vulnerable to cellular aging, yet NSC function can be partially restored.

Regional commonalities and specificities of age-related changes in hippocampal transcriptome.

Project description:The project examined age-related change in hippocampal gene expression in Fisher 344 x Brown Norway F1 rats from the NIA aging colony (Adult = 12M, Aged = 24M). CA1, CA3, and DG specific dissections were examined from one cohort of animals and from a second cohort whole hippocampus was used. Hippocampal gene expression with aging in a rat model was examined between Adult (12M) and Aged animals (24M)

Gene expression profiling in differential cognitive outcomes in aging: Dentate Gyrus

Project description:Functional alterations in medial temporal lobe structures, particularly the hippocampus, are central to age-related deficits in episodic memory. Research in aging laboratory animals has characterized physiological and cellular alterations in the hippocampus that occur in association with the presence and severity of such cognitive impairment. The current study compares alterations across hippocampal subregions by gene expression profiling in a rat model that closely mirrors individual differences in neurocognitive features of aging humans across a spectrum of outcomes, including both impaired memory and preserved function. Using mRNA profiling of the CA1, CA3 and dentate gyrus subregions, we have distinguished between gene groups and pathways related to chronological age and those specifically associated with impaired or preserved cognitive ability in aged rats. We confirmed earlier reported changes in gene groups related to inflammation and oxidative stress in multiple subregions and found these to be more associated with chronological age than cognitive function per se. The CA3 profile was best able to segregate aged impaired, aged unimpaired and young subject groups from each other. Characterization of gene changes that distinguished preserved from impaired function among the aged animals found altered expression of synaptic plasticity and neurodegenerative disease-related genes. Together these gene changes suggest recruitment of adaptive mechanisms that mediate synaptic plasticity to maintain function and structural integrity in aged unimpaired rats that does not occur in aged impaired animals.
