Altered learning, memory, and social behavior in type 1 taste receptor subunit 3 knock-out mice are associated with neuronal dysfunction.

ABSTRACT: The type 1 taste receptor member 3 (T1R3) is a G protein-coupled receptor involved in sweet-taste perception. Besides the tongue, the T1R3 receptor is highly expressed in brain areas implicated in cognition, including the hippocampus and cortex. As cognitive decline is often preceded by significant metabolic or endocrinological dysfunctions regulated by the sweet-taste perception system, we hypothesized that a disruption of the sweet-taste perception in the brain could have a key role in the development of cognitive dysfunction. To assess the importance of the sweet-taste receptors in the brain, we conducted transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of cortical and hippocampal tissues isolated from T1R3 knock-out (T1R3KO) mice. The effect of an impaired sweet-taste perception system on cognition functions were examined by analyzing synaptic integrity and performing animal behavior on T1R3KO mice. Although T1R3KO mice did not present a metabolically disrupted phenotype, bioinformatic interpretation of the high-dimensionality data indicated a strong neurodegenerative signature associated with significant alterations in pathways involved in neuritogenesis, dendritic growth, and synaptogenesis. Furthermore, a significantly reduced dendritic spine density was observed in T1R3KO mice together with alterations in learning and memory functions as well as sociability deficits. Taken together our data suggest that the sweet-taste receptor system plays an important neurotrophic role in the extralingual central nervous tissue that underpins synaptic function, memory acquisition, and social behavior.

Sour Sensing from the Tongue to the Brain

Project description:The ability to sense sour provides an important sensory signal to prevent the ingestion of unripe, spoiled or fermented foods. Taste and somatosensory receptors in the oral cavity trigger aversive behaviors in response to acid stimuli. Here we show that the ion channel Otopetrin-1, a proton-selective channel normally involved in the sensation of gravity in the vestibular system, is essential for sour-sensing in the taste system. We demonstrate that a knockout of Otop1 eliminates acid responses from sour-sensing taste-receptor-cells (TRCs). In addition, we show that mice engineered to express otopetrin-1 in sweet TRCs now have sweet cells that also respond to sour stimuli. Next, we genetically identified the taste ganglion neurons mediating each of the five basic taste qualities, and demonstrate that sour taste uses its own dedicated labeled line from TRCs in the tongue to finely tuned taste neurons in the brain to trigger aversive behaviors.

Platelet factor 4 (PF4) is induced by klotho and rejuvenates cognition and its molecular signature in the aging hippocampus

Project description:Platelet factors regulate wound healing and also signal from the blood to the brain. However, whether platelet factors modulate cognition, a highly valued and central manifestation of brain function, is unknown. Here, we show that systemic platelet factor 4 (PF4) modulates cognition and its molecular signature. Klotho, a longevity and cognition-enhancing protein, acutely activated platelets and increased circulating platelet factors, most robustly platelet factor 4 (PF4). To directly test PF4 effects on the brain, we treated mice with vehicle or systemic PF4. In young mice, PF4 enhanced synaptic plasticity and cognition. In aging mice, PF4 restored cognitive deficits and rejuvenated a molecular signature of cognition in the aging hippocampus. Augmenting platelet factors such as PF4, a possible messenger of klotho, may enhance cognition in the young brain and rejuvenate cognitive deficits in the aging brain.

Early life low-calorie sweetener consumption disrupts glucose regulation, sugar-motivated behavior, and memory function in rats

Project description:Low-calorie sweetener (LCS) consumption in children has increased dramatically due to widespread presence in the food environment and efforts to mitigate obesity through sugar replacement. However, mechanistic studies on the long-term impact of early-life LCS consumption on cognitive function and physiological processes are lacking. Here, we developed a rodent model to evaluate the effects of daily LCS consumption (acesulfame potassium, saccharin, or stevia) during adolescence on adult metabolic, behavioral, gut microbiome, and brain transcriptomic outcomes. Results reveal that habitual early-life LCS consumption impacts normal post-oral glucose handling and impairs hippocampal-dependent memory in the absence of weight gain. Furthermore, adolescent LCS consumption yielded long-term reductions in lingual sweet taste receptor expression and alterations in sugar-motivated appetitive and consummatory responses. While early life LCS consumption did not produce robust changes in the gut microbiome, brain region-specific RNA sequencing analyses reveal LCS-induced changes in collagen- and synaptic signaling-related gene pathways in the hippocampus and nucleus accumbens, respectively, in a sex-dependent manner. Collectively, these results reveal that habitual early-life LCS consumption has long lasting implications for glucoregulation, sugar-motivated behavior, and hippocampal-dependent memory in rats, which may be based in part on changes in nutrient transporter, sweet taste receptor, and central gene pathway expression.

Profiling ethanol-targeted transcription factors in human carcinoma cell-derived embryoid bodies.

Project description:A total of 493 differentially expressed genes were identified in response to 50 mM ethanol exposure, in which 111 of them were up-regulated and 382 were down-regulated. Gene ontology term enrichment analysis revealed that the genes are involved in the important biological processes like neurological system process, cognition, behavior, sensory perception of smell, taste and chemical stimuli and synaptic transmission. In consistent, disease enrichment chart showed relevant categories like neurological diseases, developmental disorders, skeletal and muscular disorders, connective tissue disorders. Furthermore, we have shorted out a group of 26 genes that encode transcription factors. We validated relative gene expression of several transcription factors from the list by quantitative real time PCR. We hope that our study substantially contributes to the understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying the pathology of alcohol mediated anomalies and ease further research. Our aim was to provide a profile of important regulator that exerts ethanol related genomic alteration. For this, we have analyzed gene expression pattern of human carcinoma cell derived embryoid bodies in absence or presence of ethanol. A cDNA microarray analysis was used to profile mRNA expression in embryoid bodies at day 7 with or without ethanol treatment.

DNA Methylation of Synaptic Genes in the Prefrontal Cortex is Associated with Aging and Age-Related Cognitive Impairment

Project description:This study investigated the epigenetic mark of DNA methylation in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) as a function of age and cognition. Young and aged F344 rats were characterized in a cognitive flexibility task, set shifting, and whole-genome bisulfite sequencing was performed in an Illumina system. The results indicate that differential methylation was linked to the expression of genes within functional categories which may mediate impaired cognition in aging. Differences in aging included hypermethylation of genes linked to synaptic function and GTPase activity. Further, age-related cognitive flexibility impairment was correlated to hypermethylation of synaptic, postsynaptic density and ion channel activity genes.

miRNA regulated by Xanthohumol is linked to cognitive impairment in mice

Project description:To explore whether the cognitive effect of xanthohumol on mice is affected by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonad system, and to fully reveal the potential regulatory mechanism of xanthohumol on mice cognition, we performed RNA-seq, miRNA-seq, and real-time qPCR to distinguish expression differences between xanthohumol and saline treated mice brain cells in both HPG dysfunction/normal conditions.This study provides comprehensive miRNA and mRNA expression profile data of xanthohumol and saline treated mice brain cells in HPG dysfunction and normal conditions, which advances our understanding of the regulation of cognitive impairment mediated by miRNA.

High Sox2 expression predicts taste lineage competency of lingual progenitors in vitro

Project description:Taste buds on the tongue are collections of taste receptor cells (TRCs) that detect sweet, sour, salty, umami and bitter stimuli. Like non-taste lingual epithelium, TRCs are renewed from basal keratinocytes, many of which express the transcription factor SOX2. Genetic lineage tracing has shown SOX2+ lingual progenitors give rise to both taste and non-taste lingual epithelium in the posterior circumvallate taste papilla (CVP) of mice. However, SOX2 is variably expressed among CVP cells suggesting that their progenitor potential may vary. Using transcriptome analysis and organoid technology, we show highly expressing SOX2+ cells are taste-competent progenitors that give rise to organoids comprising both TRCs and lingual epithelium, while organoids derived from low-expressing SOX2+ progenitors are composed entirely of non-taste cells. Hedgehog and WNT/ß-catenin are required for taste homeostasis in adult mice, but only WNT/ß-catenin promotes TRC differentiation in vitro and does so only in organoids derived from higher SOX2+ taste lineage-competent progenitors.

EGR4 is critical for cell-fate determination and maintenance of Geniculate Ganglion neurons underlying sweet and umami taste

Project description:The sense of taste starts with activation of receptor cells in taste buds by chemical stimuli which then communicate this signal via innervating oral sensory neurons to the CNS. The cell bodies of oral sensory neurons reside in the geniculate ganglion (GG) and nodose/petrosal/jugular ganglion. The geniculate ganglion contains two main neuronal populations, BRN3A+ somatosensory neurons that innervate the pinna, and PHOX2B+ sensory neurons that innervate the oral cavity. While much is known about the different taste bud cell subtypes, much less is known about the molecular identities of PHOX2B+ sensory subpopulations. In the GG as many as 12 different subpopulations have been predicted from electrophysiological studies, while transcriptional identities exist for only 3-6. Importantly, the cell fate pathways that diversify PHOX2B+ oral sensory neurons into these subpopulations are unknown. The transcription factor EGR4 was identified as being highly expressed in GG neurons. EGR4 deletion causes GG oral sensory neurons to lose their expression of PHOX2B and other oral sensory genes, and upregulate BRN3A. This is followed by a severe loss of chemosensory innervation of taste buds, a loss of Type II taste cells responsive to bitter, sweet, and umami stimuli, and a concomitant increase in Type I glial-like taste bud cells. These deficits culminate in a loss of nerve responses to sweet and umami taste qualities. Taken together, we identify a critical role of EGR4 in cell fate specification and maintenance of subpopulations of GG neurons, which in turn maintain the appropriate sweet and umami taste receptor cells.

Effect of Peripheral Cellular Senescence on Brain Aging and Cognitive Decline

Project description:We test the idea that peripheral cellular senescence is a major driver of age-related cognitive impairment, such that treatment with the brain impermeable senolytic, ABT-263, can preserve cognition and markers of brain aging thought to underlie cognitive decline. Male F344 rats were treated from 12-18 months of age with quercetin + dasatinib or ABT-263 or vehicle and were compared to young (6 month). Senolytic treatments had similar effects in decreasing peripheral markers of senescence and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), including plasma levels of several cytokines, rescued memory and hippocampal synaptic transmission, and decreased expression of immune response genes in the dentate gyrus (DG). Across senolytic treatment groups, differential DG gene expression was observed for cellular senescence and pathways linked to senescence, including negative regulation of cell death, ribosomes, and microglial activation consistent with differential access of dasatinib and ABT-263 to the brain. Finally, both senolytic treatments preserved the blood-brain barrier suggesting that leakage of clinically significant amounts of ABT-263 into the brain is unlikely. The results indicate that preserved cognition was due to removal of peripheral senescent cells, decreasing systemic inflammation that normally drives neuroinflammation, BBB breakdown, and impaired synaptic function.
