Project description:We examined the transcriptional changes modulated in ischemic brain of fore brain specific aromatase knockout mice (FBN-ARO-KO) by performing global transcriptome analysis.Total RNA was isolated from FLOX and FBN-ARO-KO mice that underwent 20-minute CCA occlusion, followed by 24-hour reperfusion. The collected hippocampi samples were subjected to RNA isolation and Illumina TruSeq RNA sample preparation and sequencing was done using UT Health San Antonio genomics core facility protocol. We observed that some of the key pathways that regulate astrocyte reactivity, such as RhoA signaling, actin-based motility by Rho signaling, signaling by Rho family GTPases, and protein ubiquitination, NRF2-mediated oxidative stress response pathways were significantly altered in FBN-ARO-KO+GCI mice.

Project description:Profiling of transcriptional changes in rat astrocytes when co-cultured with neurons: comparison of astrocytes cultured alone with astrocytes co-cultured with mouse hippocampal neurons. Co-cultured astrocytes are isolated using cold jet, a novel tool for these neuron-glia cultures. Over the last decade, the importance of astrocyte-neuron communication in neuronal development and synaptic plasticity has become increasingly clear. Since neuron-astrocyte interactions represent highly dynamic and reciprocal processes, we hypothesized that at least part of the involved astrocyte genes may be regulated as a consequence of their interactions with maturing neurons. In order to identify such neuron-induced astrocyte genes in vitro, we tested the effectiveness of the ‘cold jet’, a new method for separation of neurons from co-cultured astrocytes. The cold jet method is performed under ice-cold conditions and avoids protease-mediated isolation of astrocytes or time-consuming centrifugation, yielding intact astrocyte mRNA with approximately 90% of neuronal RNA removed. Using this method, we executed genome-wide profiling in which RNA derived from astrocyte-only cultures was compared with astrocyte RNA derived from differentiating neuron-astrocyte co-cultures. Data analysis revealed changes in expression of a large number of mRNAs and biological processes, including novel findings. Thus, cold jet is an efficient method to separate astrocytes from neurons in co-culture, and in this study reveals that neurons induce robust gene-expression changes in co-cultured astrocytes.

Project description:We examined the transcriptional changes modulated in ischemic brain of astrocyte specific aromatase knockout mice (GFAP-ARO-KO) by performing global transcriptome analysis.Total RNA was isolated from FLOX and GFAP-ARO-KO mice that underwent 20-minute CCA occlusion, followed by 24-hour reperfusion. The collected hippocampi samples were subjected to RNA isolation and Illumina TruSeq RNA sample preparation and sequencing was done using UT Health San Antonio genomics core facility protocol. We observed that that the ischemic GFAP-ARO-KO mouse hippocampus failed to upregulate a group of genes, which have been suggested to represent the “A2” neuroprotective signature of astrocytes. In addition, the JAK-STAT3 pathway, which is critical for the induction of reactive astrogliosis, was significantly down-regulated in the GFAP-ARO-KO hippocampus following GCI. Additional pathways that altered in GFAP-ARO-KO hippocampus were related to cytokine, chemokine and inflammatory signaling pathways.

Project description:Astrocytes and neurons coexist and interact in the CNS1,2. Given that many signaling and pathological events are protein-driven, identifying astrocyte and neuron proteomes is essential for elucidating the complex protein networks that dictate their respective contributions to physiology and disease. Here, we used cell- and subcompartment-specific proximity-dependent biotinylation3 to study the proteomes of striatal astrocytes and medium spiny neurons (MSNs) in vivo. We evaluated cytosolic and plasma membrane compartments for astrocytes and MSNs, revealing how these cells differ at the protein level and in their core signaling machinery. We assessed subcellular compartments of astrocytes including end feet and processes to reveal the molecular basis of essential astrocyte signaling and homeostatic functions. Unexpectedly, SAPAP3 proteins (gene; Dlgap3) associated with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and repetitive behaviors4-11 were detected at equivalent levels in striatal astrocyte and MSN plasma membrane and cytosolic compartments. Astrocytic expression was confirmed by RNA-seq, fluorescence in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, genetic rescue experiments combined with behavioral analyses and proteomics in a mouse model4 of OCD lacking SAPAP3 revealed contributions of SAPAP3 in astrocytes and MSNs to repetitive and anxiety-related OCD behaviors. Our data define how astrocytes and neurons differ at the protein level and in their major signaling pathways, how astrocyte proteomes vary between physiological subcompartments, and how specific astrocyte and neuronal molecular mechanisms contribute to a psychiatric disease. Targeting both astrocytes and neurons together is likely to be therapeutically effective in complex CNS disorders.

Project description:Astrocytes, the most abundant cells in the central nervous system, promote synapse formation and help refine neural connectivity. Although they are allocated to spatially distinct regional domains during development, it is unknown whether region-restricted astrocytes are functionally heterogeneous. Here we show that postnatal spinal cord astrocytes express several region-specific genes, and that ventral astrocyte-encoded Semaphorin3a (Sema3a) is required for proper motor neuron and sensory neuron circuit organization. Loss of astrocyte-encoded Sema3a led to dysregulated α−motor neuron axon initial segment orientation, markedly abnormal synaptic inputs, and selective death of α−but not of adjacent γ−motor neurons. Additionally, a subset of TrkA+ sensory afferents projected to ectopic ventral positions. These findings demonstrate that stable maintenance of a positional cue by developing astrocytes influences multiple aspects of sensorimotor circuit formation. More generally, they suggest that regional astrocyte heterogeneity may help to coordinate postnatal neural circuit refinement. 12 total samples consisting of three biological replicates each of flow sorted postnatal day 7 dorsal spinal cord astrocytes, ventral spinal cord astrocytes, dorsal SC non astrocytes, and ventral SC non astrocytes
