Project description:Brain injury induces a peripheral acute cytokine response (ACR) that directs the transmigration of leukocytes into brain. This brain-to-peripheral immune communication affects patient recovery, thus understanding how it is regulated is important. Contrary to expectations it is not regulated by sympathetic innervation. Using a mouse model of an inflammatory brain injuryXXX , we set out to find a soluble mediator for this phenomenon. We found that extracellular vesicles (EVs) shed from astrocytes in response to intracerbral injection of interleukin-1 (IL-1) rapidly entered into peripheral circulation and promoted the transmigration of leukocytes through modulation of the peripheral ACR. Bioinformatic interrogation of the protein and miRNA cargo of EVs identified Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α) as a primary molecular target of astrocyte-shed EVs. We confirmed in mice that astrocytic EVs promoted the transmigration of leukocytes into the brain by modulating inhibiting PPAR and presumably subsequentlyresulting in the increase of NF-κB activity thus, triggering the production of cytokines in liver. These findings expand our basic understanding of the mechanisms regulating communication between the brain and peripheral immune system, and identify astrocytic EVs as a molecular regulator of the immunological response to inflammatory brain damage.

Project description:Astrocytes are pivotal responders to alterations of extracellular pH, primarily by regulation of their “master” acid-base transporter, the membrane-bound electrogenic Na+/bicarbonate cotransporter 1 (NBCe1). Here, we describe an mTOR-dependent and NBCe1-mediated astroglial response to extracellular acidosis. Using primary mouse cortical astrocytes we investigated the effect of long-term extracellular metabolic acidosis on regulation of NBCe1 and elucidated the underlying molecular mechanisms by immunoblotting, biotinylation of surface proteins, intracellular H+ recording using the H+ -sensitive dye 2′,7′-bis-(carboxyethyl)-5-(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF), and phosphoproteomic analysis. The results showed significant increase of NBCe-1-mediated recovery of intracellular pH from acidification in wild-type astrocytes, but not in cortical astrocytes from NBCe1-deficient mice. Acidosis-induced upregulated NBCe1 activity was prevented following inhibition of mTOR signaling by rapamycin. In contrast, during acidosis or following exposure of astrocytes to rapamycin, surface protein abundance of NBCe1 remained comparable. Furthermore, NBCe1 activity was dependent on phosphorylation state of Ser245, a residue conserved in all NBCe1 variants. Mutational analysis suggested that phosphorylation state of Ser245 is regulated by mTOR and is inversely correlated with NBCe1 transport activity. Our results identify pSer245 as a novel regulator of NBCe1 functional expression. We propose that context-dependent and mTOR-mediated multisite phosphorylation of serine residues of NBCe1 is likely to be a potent mechanism contributing to the response of astrocytes to acid/base challenges during pathophysiological conditions.

Project description:Neurons induce a dramatic transformation in developing astrocytes, causing them to develop a complex stellate morphology resembling their appearance in vivo. However, the transcriptional changes that accompany this transformation are not known, nor are the signalling mechanisms responsible. Similarly, whether synaptic activity controls astrocytic gene expression and whether this leads to altered astrocytic function is unclear. This experiment seeks to investigate this non-cell-autonomously regulated gene expression by co-culturing astrocytes and neurons derived from closely related species (mouse and rat), and separating RNA-seq reads derived from each cell type in silico, thus shedding light on the signalling mechanisms underlying neuron-to-astrocyte communication and the functional consequences for astrocytes.

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

Project description:Purpose: High carbonate and bicarbonate concentrations of calcareous soils with high pH can affect crop performance due to different constraints. The goal of this study is to perform a comparative transcriptomic analysis using demes moderate-tolerance and sensitive under alkaline stress ( high pH 8.3 and 10 mM NaHCO3) Methods: Transcriptomic analysis was performed on two naturally selected Arabidopsis thaliana demes. Carbon soil tolerant A1(c+) and the sensitive T6(c-). Plants 15 day-old were exposed for 3 or 48 h to either pH stress alone (pH 5.9 vs pH 8.3 adjusted by BTP and MES buffers) or to alkaline stress (pH 8.3) caused by 10 mM of Results Shoot transcriptome analysis revealed that bicarbonate quickly (3 h) induced Fe-deficiency related genes in T6(c-) leaves, while in A1 (c+) main initial changes were found in receptor-like proteins (RPL), jasmonate (JA) and salicylate (SA) pathways, methionine-derived glucosinolate (GS), Sulphur starvation, starch degradation, and cell cycle. Conclusions: Our results suggest that leaves of carbonate tolerant plants do not sense iron deficiency as fast as sensitive ones. This is in line with the ability to translocate more iron to aerial parts, producing a higher biomass and maintaining silique production. In leaves of A1(c+) plants, the activation of other genes related to apoplastic stress perception, signal transduction, GS, sulphur acquisition, and cell cycle regu-lation precedes the induction of iron homeostasis mechanisms yielding an efficient response to bicarbonate stress

Project description:A mathematical model of the pancreatic duct cell generating high bicarbonate concentrations in pancreatic juice
David C Whitcomb, G Bard Ermentrout, Pancreas 2004 29:e30-40; PubMedID:15257112
Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:
To develop a simple, physiologically based mathematical model of pancreatic duct cell secretion using experimentally derived parameters that generates pancreatic fluid bicarbonate concentrations of >140 mM after CFTR activation.
METHODS:
A new mathematical model was developed simulating a duct cell within a proximal pancreatic duct and included a sodium-2-bicarbonate cotransporter (NBC) and sodium-potassium pump (NaK pump) on a chloride-impermeable basolateral membrane, CFTR on the luminal membrane with 0.2 to 1 bicarbonate to chloride permeability ratio. Chloride-bicarbonate antiporters (Cl/HCO3 AP) were added or subtracted from the basolateral (APb) and luminal (APl) membranes. The model was integrated over time using XPPAUT.
RESULTS:
This model predicts robust, NaK pump-dependent bicarbonate secretion with opening of the CFTR, generates and maintains pancreatic fluid secretion with bicarbonate concentrations >140 mM, and returns to basal levels with CFTR closure. Limiting CFTR permeability to bicarbonate, as seen in some CFTR mutations, markedly inhibited pancreatic bicarbonate and fluid secretion.
CONCLUSIONS:
A simple CFTR-dependent duct cell model can explain active, high-volume, high-concentration bicarbonate secretion in pancreatic juice that reproduces the experimental findings. This model may also provide insight into why CFTR mutations that predominantly affect bicarbonate permeability predispose to pancreatic dysfunction in humans.
This SBML version of the model was created directly from the XPPAUT code found in the appendix with the exception of the parameter vr, the ratio between the duct cell volume and the duct lumen, which is defined inversely to the main text in the XPPAUT code. vr was defined as the ratio of the duct cell volume to the duct lumen volume as in the main text. The model reproduces the figures found in the article. The model uses initial assignments for the lumen volume and events to trigger CFTR opening, so only tools supporting these features can be used to simulate it (eg. Copasi and SBW/Roadrunner).

Project description:Astrocyte dysfunction impacts their normal function, including neuronal support, thereby contributing to neurodegenerative pathologies including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore to understand the role of astrocytes in the pathogenesis of age-related disorders we analysed the gene expression profile of astrocytes with respect to Alzheimer-type pathology. The aim of the present study was to combine immuno-LCM and microarray analysis to characterise the astrocyte transcriptome at different Braak stages, and with respect to ApoE genotype, in post-mortem human temporal cortex sampled dervied from the Medical Research Council Cognitive Function and Ageing Study (MRC-CFAS). GFAP-positive astrocytes were isolated from age, sex and brain pH-matched cases derived from the MRC-CFAS cohort, using immuno laser capture microdissection. The extracted RNA was amplified and applied to HGU133 Plus 2.0 Affymetrix gene arrays. Genes were considered differentially expressed if they showed a minimum 1.5 fold change at p<0.02 in all 6 individual cases in each stage of pathology [18 cases in total: 6 cases Braak stages I-II (3 cases carried at least one ApoE epsilon4 allele and 3 were ApoEe4 negative); 6 cases Braak stages III-IV (3 ApoEe4 positive and 3 ApoEe4 negative; 6 cases Braak stages V-VI (3 ApoEe4 positive and 3 ApoEe4 negative)]. keywords: human GFAP-positive astrocytes

Project description:The maintenance of physiological pH level is critical for the life of all organisms. Well known, that kidney is key organ for acid-base regulation in vertebrates. Metabolic alkalosis is the most common acid-base disorder in hospitalized patients, particularly in the surgical critical care unit. The receptor tyrosine kinase IRR (insulin receptor-related receptor), a receptor like the insulin receptor, is involved in acid-base regulation by kidney due to its ability to autophosphorylate under alkalization of extracellular medium (pH > 7.9). IRR expressed in only β-intercalated cells. In mice with a knockout of the insrr gene, which encoding IRR, bicarbonate secretion to the urine is impaired. Here for the first time, we present analysis of kidney transcriptomes from wild type and insrr gene knockout mice under basal or bicarbonate-loaded conditions by 250 mM NaHCO3 in drinking water. Analysis of NGS sequencing data revealed changes in the expression of a number of genes in the kidney. Using real-time PCR we confirmed change of expression of the slc51b, slc26a4, rps7, slc5a2, aqp6, plcd1, gapdh, rny3, lypd2, kcnk5, slc6a6 , atp6v1g3 genes in IRR knockout mice. Also, we found that expression of kcnk5 gene is increased in wild type mice after bicarbonate loading but didn’t change in knockout mice. Gene set enrichment between the IRR knockout and wildtype samples identified that knockout causes alterations in expression of genes related mostly to the ATP metabolic and electron transport chain processes. Thus, for the first time, we described some details of the functioning of the IRR in the kidneys.

Project description:Glial cells are central players in the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders like Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Ethanol can modulate glial differentiation and astrocyte function imposing dramatic changes to the developing brain. Since ethanol can affect a vast number of intracellular targets and signaling pathways and many effects of early alcohol exposure on cell physiology can persist into adulthood, we tested the hypothesis that ethanol exposure in ferrets during a period equivalent to the last months of human gestation leads to a long-lasting change in astrocyte secretome in vitro. Animals were treated every other day with ethanol (5g/kg) or saline between post-natal day (P)10-30. At P31, astrocyte cultures were made and cells were submitted to stable isotope labeling by amino acids (SILAC). 24h-conditioned media of cells obtained from ethanol- or saline-treated animals (ET-CM or SAL-CM) were collected and analyzed by quantitative mass spectrometry in tandem with liquid chromatography. Here we show that 65 out of 280 quantifiable proteins displayed significant differences comparing ET-CM to SAL-CM. Among 59 proteins found reduced in ET-CM we found components of the extracellular matrix like Laminin subunits α2, α4, β1, β2 and γ1 and the proteoglycans Biglycan, Heparin Sulfate Proteoglycan 2 and Lumican. Proteins with trophic function like Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 4, Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor and Clusterin as well as proteins involved on modulation of proteolysis like TIMP-1 and PAI-1 were also found reduced. On the other hand, pro-synaptogeneic proteins like Thrombospondin-1, Hevin as well as the modulator of extracelular matrix expression, Angiotensinogen, were found increased in ET-CM. The analysis of interactome maps through Ingenuity Pathway Analysis demonstrated that the Amyloid beta A4 protein precursor (APP), which was found reduced in ET-CM, was previously shown to interact with ten other proteins that exhibited significant changes in the ET-CM, rendering it a suitable target for a more accurate analysis about the effects of ethanol on its biology. Taken together our results strongly suggest that early exposure to teratogens such alcohol may lead to an enduring change in astrocyte secretome, affecting mainly the expression of trophic and matricellular proteins, which in turn may lead to permanent alterations in brain function.

Project description:Mutations in the gene encoding the transcriptional modulator methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) are responsible for the neurodevelopmental disorder Rett syndrome that is one of the most frequent sources of intellectual disability in women. It has been shown that mutant astrocytes contribute to neuronal defects, probably as a result of aberrant secretion of soluble factor(s). Based on the hypothesis that this irregular secretion of soluble factor is the result of abnormal transcription of those factors, we have compared the gene expression profiles of wild type and mutant astrocytes from Mecp2 308/y mice by using Affymetrix mouse 2.0 microarrays. P0 newborns from pregnant Mecp2 308/+ heterozygous mice were used for the preparation of dissociated cortical astrocyte cultures. Four wild-type and four mutant confluent astrocytes cultures were used for total RNA extraction with the Qiagen RNeasy kit (Qiagen, Courtaboeuf, France) as described by the manufacturer. The gene expression profiles of wild type and mutant astrocytes from Mecp2 308/y mice have been assayed by using Affymetrix mouse 2.0 microarrays.
