Project description:Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent pollutants known for their bio-accumulative properties and prevalence in water supplies and household products. Although legacy PFAS, such as perfluorooctanoic acid, are phased out in the U.S. due to public health concerns, a PFAS variant hexafluoropropylene oxide-dimer acid (HFPO-DA) is an emerging replacement. HFPO-DA is a potential neurotoxicant that has been shown to cause dopaminergic neurodegeneration. We investigated the bioaccumulative potential of HFPO-DA and its effects on lifespan, locomotor activity, and brain gene expression in female and male Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies). Flies were collected less than 4 hours post-eclosion and exposed to 0, 10, 10^2, 10^3, or 10^4 mg/kg/day HFPO-DA. To measure the effect of HFPO-DA on lifespan, surviving flies from each exposure were recorded every 24 hours. Flies were subjected to a negative geotaxis assay at 3, 7, and 14 days of exposure to measure the effects of acute, sub-chronic, and chronic exposures on locomotor ability. To capture HFPO-DA-induced sexually dimorphic gene expression responses in the brain, we sequenced brain-specific mRNA from flies exposed for 3, 7, or 14 days. The Bioconcentration Factor was 0.031 for females, and 0.026 for males. Dose and median lifespan were negatively correlated in both female (R^2 adj = 0.77, p<0.0001) and male flies (R^2 adj = 0.77, p<0.0001). Log-rank Mantel-Cox tests and one-way ANOVAs revealed that median lifespan was reduced in females starting at 10 mg/kg/day and in males starting at 10^2 mg/kg/day (p< 0.01). Acute exposure at 10 mg/kg/day significantly decreased locomotor ability in females (p<0.0001) while acute exposures at 1 mg/kg/day decreased locomotor activity in males (p <0.0001). Among 7500 genes analyzed, pairwise gene expression comparison between controls and treatments identified 2496 differentially expressed genes. While HFPO-DA does not readily bioaccumulate in fruit fly bodies, high-dose exposures have sex-specific effects on lifespan, locomotor ability, and brain gene expression. LOAEL for median lifespan is 10 mg/kg/day in females, and 10^2 mg/kg/day in males. Both locomotor ability and brain gene expression exhibited non-conventional dose-response as seen in other endocrine disrupting chemical exposures.

Project description:Compared the gene expression profiles of two contiguous vessels pre and post - birth, namely the Ductus Arteriosus (DA), committed to become a fibrous ligament, and the Aorta (Ao), which conversely takes on a permanent activity. The effect of artificially enhanced O2 tension was analyzed in DA in the pre-birth condition. Keywords: Comparison gene expression

Project description:Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most disabling health problems facing adults today. Locomotor training has been shown to induce substantial recovery in muscle size and muscle function in both transected and contusion injury animal models of SCI. The overall objective of this study is to implement genome wide expression profiling of skeletal muscle to define the molecular pathways associated with muscle remodeling after SCI and during locomotor training (TM). We profiled rat soleus of total 36 samples including controls; 3, 8 and 14 days after SCI; 8 and 14 days after SCI with locomotor treadmill training (TM).

Project description:Thyroid hormone (TH) transporter MCT8 deficiency causes severe locomotor disabilities likely due to insufficient TH transport across brain barriers and, consequently, compromised neural TH action. As an established animal model for this disease Mct8/Oatp1c1 double knockout (DKO) mice exhibit strong central TH deprivation, locomotor impairments and similar histo-morphological features as seen in MCT8 patients. The pathways that cause these neuro-motor symptoms are poorly understood. Here, we performed proteome analysis of brain sections comprising cortical and striatal areas of 21-day-old WT and DKO mice. We detected over 2900 proteins by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, 67 of which were significantly different between the genotypes. Comparison of the proteomic and published RNA-sequencing data showed a significant overlap between alterations in both datasets. In line with previous observations, DKO animals exhibited decreased myelin-associated protein expression and altered protein levels of well-established neuronal TH regulated targets. As one intriguing new candidate, we unraveled and confirmed reduced protein and mRNA expression of Pde10a, a striatal enzyme critically involved in dopamine receptor signaling, in DKO mice. As altered PDE10A activities are linked to dystonia, reduced basal ganglia PDE10A expression may represent a key pathogenic pathway underlying human MCT8 deficiency.

Project description:Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to loss of locomotor function. Neuroplasticity of spinal circuitry underlies some functional recovery and therefore represents a therapeutic target to improve locomotor function following SCI. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms mediating neuroplasticity below the lesion level are not fully understood. The present study performed a gene expression profiling in the rat lumbar spinal cord at 1 and 3 weeks after contusive SCI at T9 compared to control rat that received sham injury (laminectomy). The below-level gene expression profiles were compared with those of animals that were subjected to treadmill locomotor training. Rat lumbar spinal cords were taken for the microarray analysis at 1 and 3 weeks after contusive spinal cord injury at the T9 level. Another group of rats received treadmill locomotor training for 3 weeks, and theirs spinal cords were harvested for the microarray. The changes in gene expression after spinal cord injury were analyzed at the two time points. The influence of treadmill locomotor training was evaluated by comparing gene expression profiles between animals with or without treadmill training.

Project description:Mammalian and fish pineals play a key role in adapting behaviour to the ambient light conditions through the release of melatonin. In mice, light inhibits nocturnal locomotor activity via the nonvisual photoreceptor Melanopsin. In contrast to the extensively studied function of Melanopsin in the indirect regulation of the rodent pineal, its role in the intrinsically photosensitive zebrafish pineal has not been elucidated. Therefore, it is not evident if the light signalling mechanism is conserved between distant vertebrates, and how Melanopsin could affect diurnal behaviour. A double knockout of melanopsins (opn4.1-opn4xb) was generated in the diurnal zebrafish, which manifests attenuated locomotor activity during the wake state. Transcriptome sequencing gave insight into pathways downstream of Melanopsin, implying that sustained repression of the melatonin pathway is required to elevate locomotor activity during the diurnal wake state. Moreover, we show that light induces locomotor activity during the diurnal wake state in an intensity-dependent manner. These observations suggest a common Melanopsin-driven mechanism between zebrafish and mammals, while the diurnal and nocturnal chronotypes are inversely regulated downstream of melatonin.
