Project description:Vanishing white matter (VWM) is a leukodystrophy that primarily manifests in young children. In this disease, the brain white matter is differentially affected in a predictable pattern with telencephalic brain areas being more severely affected, while others remain allegedly completely spared. Using high-resolution mass spectrometry-based proteomics, we investigated the proteome patterns of the severely affected white matter in the frontal lobe and normal appearing pons in VWM and control cases to identify molecular bases underlying regional vulnerability. By comparing VWM patients to controls, we identified disease-specific proteome patterns. We showed substantial pathogenic changes in both the frontal white matter and pons at the protein level. Side-by-side comparison of brain region-specific proteome patterns further revealed regional differences. We found that different cell types are affected in the VWM frontal white matter than in the pons. Gene ontology and pathway analyses identified involvement of region distinct biological processes, of which pathways implicated in cellular respiratory metabolism were overarching features. In the VWM frontal white matter, proteome changes were associated with decrease in glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and metabolism of various amino acids. By contrast, in the VWM pons white matter, we found a decrease in oxidative phosphorylation. Taken together, our data show that brain regions are affected in parallel in VWM, but to different degrees. We found region-specific involvement of different cell types and discovered that cellular respiratory metabolism is differently affected across white matter regions in VWM. These region-specific changes help explain regional vulnerability to pathology in VWM.

Project description:Using laser capture microscopy, white (WM) and grey matter (GM) demyelinated areas and normal appearing matter was collected from histologically verified leukocortical lesions from snap-frozen human post mortem tissuederived from Multiple Sclerosis patients. Our data shows large differences in gene expression in WM and GM demyelinated areas (compared to their respective normal appearing matter) even when the demyelinated areas are spatially connected such as in leukocortical lesions. Thus, we show that WM demyelinated areas and GM demyelinated areas are distinct entities with distinct pathology. Therefore findings observed in WM demyelinated areas cannot be generalized to GM demyelinated areas.

Project description:Abstract
Brown and brite adipocytes are the key cells performing uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) dependent non-shivering thermogenesis (NST) induced by cold exposure. Several lipid species are associated to NST in brown and white adipose tissue. Studies investigating the association of the lipid profile with NST rely on the analysis of whole organ homogenates or on the differentiation of pre-adipocytes in vitro. These approaches have so far not addressed the heterogeneity of white adipose tissue. Aim of this study was to characterize the lipid composition of white adipose tissue on a region-specific level in an in vivo context.
We applied MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) in combination with immunohistochemistry and high-resolution mass spectrometry on sections of inguinal white adipose tissue of 129S6/SvEvTac and C57BL6/N-UCP1 knockout and wildtype mice acclimatized to cold to identify lipids specific to areas of UCP1 expression.
Based on the analysis of cold exposed 129S6/SvEvTac mice we identified cardiolipins (CL) and diacylglycerols (DG) species to be specific for areas expressing UCP1 and triacylglycerols (TG) to be the main lipid class characteristic for UCP1 negative regions within inguinal white adipose tissue. Investigation of C57BL6/N-UCP1 knockout and wildtype mice housed at either room temperature or acclimatized to cold, demonstrated that CL content in white adipose tissue is increased upon cold stimulation, independent of UCP1.
We introduce a MALDI-MSI based approach to identify lipids associated to thermogenic adipocytes in adipose tissues demonstrating a clear regional cold dependent upregulation of CL independent of UCP1.

Project description:Chronic alcohol consumption can lead to alchohol-related brain damage (ARBD). Despite the well known acute effects of alcohol the mechanism responsible for chronic brain damage is largely unknown. Pathologically the major change is the loss of white matter while neuronal loss is mild and restricted to a few areas such as the prefrontal cortex. In order to improve our understanding of ARBD pathogenesis we used microarrays to explore the white matter transcriptome of alcoholics and controls. Our results suggest that hepatic encephalopathy, along with two confounders, gray matter contamination and low RNA quality, are major drivers of gene expression in ARBD. All three exceeded the effects of alcohol itself. In particular, low quality RNA samples were characterized by an upregulation of protein translation machinery while hepatic encephalopathy was associated with a downregulation of mitochondrial energy metabolism pathways. The findings in HE alcoholics are consistent with the metabolic acidosis seen in this condition. In contrast non-HE alcoholics had widespread but only subtle changes in gene expression in their white matter.

Project description:Vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) is the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Currently, the mechanistic insights into the evolution and progression of VCID remain elusive. White matter change represents an invariant feature. Compelling clinical neuroimaging and pathological evidence suggest a link between white matter changes and neurodegeneration. Our prior study detected hypoperfused lesions in mice with partial deficiency of endothelial nitric oxide (eNOS) at very young age, precisely matching to those hypoperfused areas identified in preclinical AD patients. White matter tracts are particularly susceptible to the vascular damage induced by chronic hypoperfusion. Using immunohistochemistry, we detected severe demyelination in the middle aged eNOS-deficient mice. The demyelinated areas were confined to cortical and subcortical areas including the corpus callosum and hippocampus. The intensity of demyelination correlated with behavioral deficits of gait and associative recognition memory performances. By Evans blue angiography, we detected blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage as another early pathological change affecting frontal and parietal cortex in eNOS-deficient mic. Sodium nitrate fortified drinking water provided to young and middle aged eNOS-deficient mice completely prevented non-perfusion, BBB leakage, and white matter pathology, indicating that impaired endothelium-derived NO signaling may have caused these pathological events. Furthermore, genome-wide transcriptomic analysis revealed altered gene clusters most related to mitochondrial respiratory pathways selectively in the white matter of young eNOS-deficient mice. Using eNOS-deficient mice, we identified BBB breakdown and hypoperfusion as the two earliest pathological events, resulting from insufficient vascular NO signaling. We speculate that the compromised BBB and mild chronic hypoperfusion trigger vascular damage, along with oxidative stress and astrogliosis, accounting for the white matter pathological changes in the eNOS-deficient mouse model. We conclude that eNOS-deficient mice represent an ideal spontaneous evolving model for studying the earliest events leading to spontaneous white matter changes, which will be instrumental to future therapeutic testing of drug candidates and for targeting novel/specific vascular mechanisms contributing to VCID and AD.

The findings in HE alcoholics are consistent with the metabolic acidosis seen in this condition. In contrast non-HE alcoholics had widespread but only subtle changes in gene expression in their white matter. The initial cohort was compromised of four alcoholics without hepatic encephalopathy (non-HE alcoholics), three alcoholics with HE (HE alcoholics) and three neurologically normal controls. For each indvidual frozen white matter was sampled in the superior frontal gyrus (prefrontal cortex) and the precentral gyrus (motor cortex). These two cortices experience either moderate (prefrontal cortex) or no neuronal loss (motor cortex) with alcohol-related brain damage. Each white matter sample was divided in two before RNA was extracted to give two 'biological' repeats and a total of 40 samples. Subsequently eight duplicates were removed due to their gray matter contamination or low RNA quality to leave a 32-sample cohort (23 alcoholic (including eight with HE ) and nine control samples.

Project description:Microglia are brain-resident, myelin-phagocytosing cells, yet their role in lesion initiation in grey and white matter regions in multiple sclerosis (MS) is unclear. We isolated primary microglia from both, occipital cortex and corpus callosum, of 10 MS and 11 control donors and studied their transcriptional profile by RNA sequencing, thereby identifying regional and MS-associated changes. Identification of pathways underlying regional differences showed a relatively increased type I interferon response in cortical grey matter microglia, while white matter microglia more highly expressed NF-κB pathway genes. In normal-appearing white matter MS tissue, lipid metabolism genes were increased, suggesting processing of myelin by microglia already in areas seemingly devoid of MS pathology. Normal-appearing grey matter MS microglia showed increased activation of glycolysis and metal ion homeostasis, possibly reflecting microglia reacting to iron depositions. Notably, expression of genes associated with microglia homeostasis were hardly changed, suggesting that subtle regional changes in MS-associated microglia do not yet affect their resting state.
