Astrocyte-specific transcriptional response to glucocorticoid receptor activation in the central nervous system

ABSTRACT: Many studies indicated in an indirect way that astrocytes are a major target for transcriptional responses induced by glucocorticoids in the CNS, implying that glial cells an important consituent of stress responses. To address this issue directly we have generated astrocyte-specific conditional GR knockout mice (Cx30GRko) using Cre/loxP system utilizing connexin 30 promoter driving expression of CreERT2 recombinase. Genome wide analysis of molecular effects of astrocytic GR knockout would allow for dissecting the glial cell-type specific components of stress response mediated by glucocorticoids

Decoupling astrocytes in adult mice impairs synaptic plasticity and spatial learning

Project description:To study the role of the gap junction coupled astrocytic network, we generated inducible double knockouts to selectively delete Cx30 and Cx43 from astrocytes in adult mice. Mice carrying loxP-flanked Gjb6 (Cx30fl/fl mice) (Boulay et al., 2013) and Gja1 (Cx43fl/fl mice) (Theis et al., 2003) alleles were crossbred with mice expressing the tamoxifen-sensitive Cre-recombinase CreERT2 under the endogenous GLAST(Slc1a3)-promoter (Mori et al., 2006). Adult, 8-10 week old mice (Cx30fl/fl:Cx43fl/fl:GLASTCreERT2/+, termed cKO) and littermate control mice (Cx30fl/fl:Cx43fl/fl:GLAST+/+) were injected with tamoxifen for 5 consecutive days and hippocampi were isolated for subsequent TMT-based proteomics analysis 90 days after tamoxifen treatment, to study the consequences of astrocyte decoupling and connexin deletion.

Glucocorticoid and Mineralocorticoid Receptor Signaling have Sex-dependent and Independent Effects in Mouse Hippocampus

Project description:Many stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders display pronounced sex differences in their frequency and clinical symptoms. Glucocorticoids are primary stress hormones that have been implicated in the development of these disorders but whether they contribute to the observed sex bias is poorly understood. Glucocorticoids signal through two closely related nuclear receptors, the glucocorticoid (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), that are both expressed at high levels in the hippocampus. To investigate the sex-dependent and independent actions of glucocorticoids in the hippocampus, we developed knockout mice lacking hippocampal GR (GREmx1-cre), MR (MREmx1-cre), or both GR and MR (GRMREmx1-cre). Genome-wide microarrays were performed on RNA isolated from the hippocampus of male and female flox control and knockout mice in order to 1) identify genes dysregulated in a sex-dependent and independent manner by a deficiency in GR, MR, or both GR and MR signaling and 2) identify the genes responsible for the sex-dependent and independent phenotypes observed in these mice.

Gene Changes in Hippocampus from Mice with Conditional Knockout of Hippocampal GR, MR, or both GR and MR

Project description:Glucocorticoids are primary stress hormones that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cognitive impairments and psychiatric illnesses. The hippocampus expresses high levels of glucocorticoid (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) which both bind glucocorticoids. However, the specific and cooperative roles played by GR and MR in mediating the direct actions of stress on the hippocampus are unknown. To elucidate the function of hippocampal GR and MR, we generated mice with conditional knockout of GR (GREmx1-cre), MR (MREmx1-cre), or both GR and MR (GRMREmx1-cre) in the hippocampus. Genome-wide microarrays were performed on RNA isolated from the whole hippocampus to 1) identify genes subject to regulation by GR alone, MR alone, or both GR and MR and 2) identify the genes responsible for the morphological and behavioral phenotypes observed in these mice.

Stress induces behavioral abnormalities by increasing expression of phagocytic receptor MERTK in astrocytes to promote synapse phagocytosis

Project description:Early life stress such as childhood abues and childhood neglect has been frequently implicated in evoking mental disorders later in life. However, it is not well understood what is the underlying mechanism between early life stress and mental disorders. Our in vitro, in vivo and brain organoid experiments revealed that stress hormones increase Mertk expression in astrocytes through glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Furthermore, early life stress (ESD) exposure significantly incrased astrocyte-mediated synapse phagocytosis via GR/MERTK pathway in various brain regions including somatosensory cortex and orbitofrontal cortex. In those brain regions, the excitatory postsynaptic density was remarkably decreased with an increase in astrocytic phagocytosis of excitatory postsynapses. Importantly, ablating GR or MERTK in astrocytes prevented ESD-induced loss of excitatory snapses, abnormal neural activities and behavioral deficits. Taken together, this study revelas a new role of astrocytic GR/MERTK pathway in evoking stress-induced abnormal behaviors in mice, suggesting astrocytic GR/MERTK signaling could be a potential therapeutic target for stress-induced mental disorders.

Hdac3 Interaction with p300 Histone Acetyltransferase Regulates the Oligodendrocyte and Astrocyte Lineage Fate Switch (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Establishment and maintenance of CNS glial cell identity ensures proper brain development and function, yet the epigenetic mechanisms underlying glial fate control remain poorly understood. Here we show that the histone deacetylase Hdac3 controls oligodendrocyte-specification gene Olig2 expression, and functions as a molecular switch for oligodendrocyte and astrocyte lineage determination. Our data suggest that Hdac3 cooperates with p300 to prime and maintain oligodendrogenic programs while inhibiting Stat3-mediated astrogliogenesis, and thereby regulate phenotypic commitment at the point of oligodendrocyte-astrocytic fate decision.

Glucocorticoid Receptor Signaling is Critical for Mouse Corneal Development, Inhibition of Inflammatory Response and Neovascularization of the Cornea

Project description:Synthetic glucocorticoids are widely prescribed in the treatment of ocular infections and disorders. The actions of glucocorticoids are mediated by the glucocorticoid receptor (GR); however, the molecular and physiological functions of GR signaling in the cornea are poorly understood. To understand the direct role of GR signaling in the cornea, we developed mice with conditional knockout of GR in the corneal epithelium. Global transcriptomic approaches revealed that loss of GR signaling in the cornea resulted in the dysregulation of a large cohort of genes strongly associated with an enhanced immune response.

Astrocyte-Oligodendrocyte interaction regulates central nervous system regeneration

Project description:Failed regeneration of myelin around neuronal axons following central nervous system damage contributes to nerve dysfunction and clinical decline in various neurological conditions, for which there is an unmet therapeutic demand. Here, we show that interaction between glial cells – astrocytes and mature myelin-forming oligodendrocytes – is a critical determinant of remyelination. Using in vivo/ ex vivo/ in vitro rodent models and human brain lesion analyses, we discover that astrocytes support the survival of regenerating oligodendrocytes, via downregulation of the Nrf2 pathway associated with increased astrocytic cholesterol biosynthesis pathway activation. Remyelination fails following sustained astrocytic Nrf2 activation in focally-lesioned mice yet is restored by either cholesterol biosynthesis/efflux stimulation, or Nrf2 inhibition using the existing therapeutic Luteolin. We identify that astrocyte-oligodendrocyte interaction regulates remyelination, and reveal a drug strategy for central nervous system regeneration centred on targeting this interaction.

REDD1 (regulated in development and DNA damage response 1) dissociates therapeutic and adverse effects of topical steroids in skin

Project description:Even though cutaneous atrophy is the major adverse effect of topical glucocorticoids, its molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. We found that glucocorticoids strongly increased the expression of REDD1 (regulated in development and DNA damage response 1), a stress-inducible inhibitor of mTOR, in mouse and human epidermis. We found that REDD1 knockout animals are partially resistant to glucocorticoid-induced epidermal and subcutaneous adipose atrophy which correlated with the protection of CD34+ follicular epithelial stem cells as well as p63+ keratinocyte progenitors in REDD1 knockout epidermis during chronic steroid treatment. At the same time, REDD1 knockout did not affect anti- inflammatory effect of glucocorticoids, as evaluated by ear edema test. Expression profiling revealed that ~ 50% of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) target genes were not activated in epidermis of REDD1 knockouts, however, the negative effect of glucocorticoids on gene expression was similar to that in w.t. animals. Overall, our findings reveal a novel pathway in GR activation by its target gene/protein REDD1; and indicate an important role of REDD1 in glucocorticoid-induced skin atrophy, and maintenance of the epidermis and subcutaneous adipose. In addition, our findings form the foundation for the development of safer topical glucocorticoid treatment regimens by combining this therapy with REDD1 inhibitors.

MDFIC alteration of the GR transcriptome in COS-1 cells

Project description:Glucocorticoids are primary stress hormones that regulate many physiological processes, and synthetic derivatives of these molecules and are widely used in the clinic. The cellular response to glucocorticoids is remarkably diverse; however, the molecular factors that govern tissue specificity are poorly understood. The actions of glucocorticoids are mediated by the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). To discover new proteins that interact with GR and modulate its function, we performed a yeast 2 hybrid assay using as bait the hinge region of GR. The MyoD family inhibitor domain-containing (MDFIC) protein was identified as a binding partner for GR. Knockdown of MDFIC in A549 cells alters the GR transcriptome. To further investigate the functional effect of MDFIC on the GR transcriptome, we performed a genome-wide microarray in COS-1 cells that were transfected with GR alone or GR and MDFIC. The transfected cells were treated with vehicle or the synthetic glucocorticoid Dexamethasone (Dex) for 6 hours. Overexpression of MDFIC was found to expand the GR transcriptome.
