Transcriptional response to early life stress in male and female mouse brain

ABSTRACT: This study explored the interaction of early life and adult stress on transcriptional and chromosomal states in a 2x2 design. Male and female mice were subjected to early life stress (ELS) or were standard-reared (Std), were housed normally through adolescence, and were then exposed to 10 days of control (Ctl) or chronic social defeat stress (CSDS: males only) or 3 days of sub-threshold variable stress (STVS: females only) conditions in adulthood. Long-lasting transcriptional alterations were assessed in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), nucleus accumbens (NAc), medial prefrontal cortex (PFC), and ventral hippocampus (HIP, males only) in adulthood.

H3K79me2 dynamics in medium spiny neurons mediate long-term behavioral and cell type-specific molecular effects of early life stress

Project description:Animals susceptible to chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) exhibit depression-related behaviors, and show aberrant transcription across several limbic brain regions. The nucleus accumbens (NAc) in particular shows unique susceptible versus resilient phenotypes at the transcriptional, neuroanatomical, and physiological levels. Early life stress (ELS) promotes susceptibility to CSDS in adulthood, but associated enduring changes in transcriptional control mechanisms in NAc have not yet been investigated. Here, we examined long-lasting changes in histone modifications induced in NAc by ELS and studied their underlying mechanisms in mediating heightened lifelong stress susceptibility in male and female mice. We identify methylation of lysine 79 of histone H3 (H3K79me) and the enzymes that control this modification, selectively in D2-type medium spiny neurons, as crucial for the expression of ELS-induced stress susceptibility, and reveal the transcriptional networks regulated by this mechanism. Finally, we demonstrate the potential clinical viability of this approach by showing that systemic delivery of a small molecule inhibitor of H3K79me reverses ELS-induced behavioral deficits.

Early Life Stress Restricts Translational Reactivity in CA3 Neurons Associated with Altered Stress Response in Adulthood

Project description:Using a protocol of chronic early-life stress (ELS) induced by limited bedding and nesting material followed by acute-swim stress (AS) in adulthood, we show that mice with a history of ELS display a blunted CORT response to AS, altered levels of the repressive histone marker H3K9me3 in several hippocampal regions, and a restricted translational response to stress in CA3 neurons

Early-life stress impacts the adult microglia transcriptome under basal and inflammatory conditions

Project description:Early-life stress (ELS) leads to increased vulnerability to psychiatric illness including cognitive impairment later in life. Neuroinflammatory processes have been implicated in ELS-induced negative health outcomes, but, how ELS impacts microglia, the macrophages of the central nervous system, is unknown. Here, we determined the effects of ELS induced by limited bedding and nesting material during the first week of life (P2 – P9) on the morphology and gene expression of microglia from young (postnatal day (P)9) and adult (P200) mice. ELS led to a change in the proportion of morphological microglia subtypes in adulthood, associated with immune reactivity. At the transcriptional level, whereas at P9 no ELS mediated changes were detected, at P200 ELS induced transcriptional changes in microglia genes involved in the immune response and protein ubiquitination. Additionally, ELS altered microglia gene expression changes during development from P9 to P200 and in response to LPS at P200, in both cases marked by GO-terms associated with the immune response. Concluding, these data show that ELS has persistent effects on the morphology and gene expression program of microglia and results in an altered transcriptional response to a systemic LPS challenge.

The effect of Repeated Cross Fostering (RCF) on transcriptomic profiles of mouse Ventral Tegmental Areas across different sexes and strains

Project description:Early life experiences affecting the attachment bond formation can result in maladaptive behaviors acting on developmental trajectories and programming adult brain functions in a sex-dependent manner. Repeated Cross Fostering (RCF) manipulation in mice is able to interfere with attachment bond formation in mice. Using males and females from two different inbred strains of mouse, known to respond very differently to the RCF, we analyzed the effect of RCF on the ventral tegmental area (VTA)-transcriptome in a sex-specific manner. Through next-generation mRNA-Seq, we profiled VTA transcriptomes in RCF and control adult male and female mice from both backgrounds.

Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms for Differential Effects of Chronic Social Isolation Stress in Males and Females

Project description:Chronic social isolation stress during adolescence induces susceptibility for neuropsychiatric disorders. Here we show that 5-week post-weaning isolation stress induces sex-specific behavioral abnormalities and neuronal activity changes in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), basal lateral amygdala (BLA), and ventral tegmental area (VTA). Chemogenetic manipulation, optogenetic recording, and in vivo calcium imaging identify that the PFC to BLA pathway is causally linked to heightened aggression in stressed males, and the PFC to VTA pathway is causally linked to social withdrawal in stressed females. Isolation stress induces genome-wide transcriptional alterations in a region-specific manner. Particularly, the upregulated genes in BLA of stressed males are under the control of activated transcription factor CREB, and CREB inhibition in BLA normalizes gene expression and reverses aggressive behaviors. On the other hand, neuropeptide Hcrt (Hypocretin/Orexin) is among the top-ranking downregulated genes in VTA of stressed females, and Orexin-A treatment rescues social withdrawal. These results have revealed molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets for stress-related mental illness.

Gene expression analysis of mouse brain regions after chronic social defeat stress (CSDS)

Project description:Chronic psychosocial stress is a risk factor for psychiatric disorders, and genetic factors interact in conferring susceptibility. The chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) mouse model allows identifying factors underlying resilience and susceptibility to chronic psychosocial stress. We used RNA-sequencing to identify genes and pathways affected by CSDS in three brain regions: medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), ventral hippocampus (vHPC), and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST), of male mice from strains C57BL/6Crl and DBA/2Crl.

Expression signatures of dopaminergic neurons of ventral SNc (Pitx3-dependent), dorsal SNc (Pitx3-independent) and VTA

Project description:Pitx3 is a transcription factor that is expressed in all midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons during early development, but later becomes restricted in dopaminergic subsets of substantia nigra compacta (SNc) and of the ventral tegmental are (VTA) that are vulnerable to neurodegenerative stress (MPTP, 6-OHDA, rotenone, Parkinson's disease). Overall, in mice, Pitx3 is required for developmental survival of ventral SNc neurons and for postnatal survival of VTA neurons (after postnatal day 40). With the aim of determining the gene networks that distinguish Pitx3-vulnerable (Pitx3-positive) from Pitx3-resistant (Pitx3-negative) subsets of SNc and VTA, we performed a comparison at the transcriptome level between FAC-sorted mDA neurons of SNc and VTA that were obtained from wild-type and Pitx3-/- newborn mice. The latter mice have already lost the majority of their TH+Calb1- mDA neurons of ventral SNc (Pitx3-dependent), but their TH+Calb1+ neurons of dorsal SNc (Pitx3-independent), including all of VTA neurons (50% are Pitx3-dependent and 50% Pitx3-independent), are unaffected by Pitx3 deletion. At postnatal day 40, Pitx3-/- mice display a marked loss of dopaminergic subsets of VTA that normally co-express Pitx3 and Calb1 (Pitx3-dependent neurons of VTA).

The influence of early life stress on social behavior and transcriptome in the prefrontal cortex.

Project description:Early life stress (ELS), such as neglect and maltreatment, exhibits a strong impact on the mental and brain development of children. However, it is not fully understood how ELS affects the function in developing prefrontal cortex (PFC). In this study, we performed social isolation on weaned pre-adolescent mice and investigated how ELS could affect the function in behavior and transcriptome in PFC. We found that reductions of social interaction, social preference, and social novelty in ELS mice. Moreover, an increase of anxiety-like behavior was observed in ELS mice, but there were no changes in weight and repetitive behavior. To identify the gene involved in social behavior, we conducted transcriptome analysis and identified 15 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the PFC of ELS mice. These genes were involved in transcriptional regulation, stress, and synaptic signaling. We also found that a decreased number of neurons and an increased number of microglia in the PFC of ELS mice. These results suggest that ELS affects PFC cytoarchitecture by stress signal transduction and eventually alters mouse behavior. Our study demonstrates that ELS influences behavior, transcriptome and cytoarchitecture in the brain of adolescent mice.

Identification of differentially expressed proteins in human pluripotent stem cell derived into dopaminergic neurons

Project description:Dopaminergic neurons located in the ventral midbrain can be broadly subdivided into two distinct subpopulations. Substantia nigra (SN) dopaminergic neurons are highly sensitive to toxic insults and selectively degenerate in Parkinson’s disease, while ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopaminergic neurons are associated with other neurological disorders. Access to enriched cultures of SN and VTA dopaminergic neuronal subpopulations will facilitate disease modelling and give insight in the differential vulnerability, but it is unclear how the differentiation of human ES cells can be directed towards these distinct lineages. We found that overexpression of the lineage specifying transcription factors Sox6 and Otx2 can direct the differentiation of human ES cells into enriched populations of respectively SN or VTA neurons. Proteomic analysis of these cultures resulted in the identification of several differential expressed proteins and provided insight in pathways contributing to the selective vulnerability of SN.
