LFQ proteomics of mouse GABAergic interneurons during traumatic brain injury

ABSTRACT: Unilateral Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) causes functional disturbances of the neuronal networks spreading even to the undamaged cortical hemisphere. The phenomenon, referred to as transhemispheric diaschisis, is suggested to be mediated by an imbalance of the strength of glutamatergic, excitatory vs. GABAergic, inhibitory neurotransmission. Here we present evidence that a switch in expression of α Subunits of pore-forming L-Type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC), by an expression of CaV1.3 and simultaneous ablation of CaV1.2 in GABAergic interneurons could balance early cortical disturbances manifested as contralateral hyperexcitability in the early phase after TBI. The switch of the VGCC alpha Subunits in GABAergic interneurons was detected using the GAD67-GFP (Glutamate Decarboxylase 67 – Green Fluorescent Protein) Knock-in mouse line. Mice received a TBI with a Controlled Cortical Impact (CCI) to the primary motor and somatosensory cortex at postnatal day 19-21 under anesthesia in vivo. Single GFP+ interneurons located in the undamaged, contralateral cortex were isolated by Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) and further analyzed by Mass Spectrometry (MS). The switch was associated with an increased excitability of Somatostatin (SST) interneurons and extracellular network activity in acute brain slices in Microelectrode Array (MEA) recordings, which could be restored in presence of isradipine (100 nM), which selectively blocks CaV1.3-containing VGCCs. These data suggest that a switch in alpha.subunits of VGCCs expressed on SST-positive interneurons stabilizes early hyperactivity of the contralateral cortical network at 72 h after TBI, thereby promoting an adaptive mechanism to counterbalance post-traumatic hyperexcitabilty that might lead to epileptogenesis.

Unilateral traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes cortical dysfunctions spreading to the primarily undamaged hemisphere. This phenomenon, called transhemispheric diaschisis, is mediated by an imbalance of glutamatergic versus GABAergic neurotransmission. This study investigated the role of GABAergic, somatostatin-positive (SST) interneurons in the contralateral hemisphere 72 h after unilateral TBI. The brain injury was induced to the primary motor/somatosensory cortex of glutamate decarboxylase 67- ...[more]

Project description:Abstract Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in irreversible damage at the site of impact and initiates cellular and molecular processes that lead to secondary neural injury in the surrounding tissue. We used microarray analysis to determine which genes, pathways and networks were significantly altered using a rat model of TBI. Adult rats received a unilateral controlled cortical impact (CCI) and were sacrificed 24h post-injury. The ipsilateral hemi-brain tissue at the site of the injury, the corresponding contralateral hemi-brain tissue, and naM-CM-/ve (control) brain tissue were used for microarray analysis. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) software was used to identify molecular pathways and networks that were associated with the altered gene expression in brain tissues following TBI. Results Inspection of the top fifteen biological functions in IPA associated with TBI in the ipsilateral tissues revealed that all had an inflammatory component. IPA analysis also indicated that inflammatory genes were altered on the contralateral side, but many of the genes were inversely expressed compared to the ipsilateral side. The contralateral gene expression pattern suggests a remote anti-inflammatory molecular response. We created a network of the inversely expressed common (i.e., same gene changed on both sides of the brain) inflammatory response (IR) genes and those IR genes included in pathways and networks identified by IPA that changed on only one side. We ranked the genes by the number of direct connections each had in the network, creating a gene interaction hierarchy (GIH). Two well characterized signaling pathways, toll-like receptor/NF-kappaB signaling and JAK/STAT signaling, were prominent in our GIH. Conclusions Bioinformatic analysis of microarray data following TBI identified key molecular pathways and networks associated with neural injury following TBI. The GIH created here provides a starting point for investigating therapeutic targets in a ranked order that is somewhat different than what has been presented previously. In addition to being a vehicle for identifying potential targets for post-TBI therapeutic strategies, our findings can also provide a context for evaluating the potential of therapeutic agents currently in development. The ipsilateral hemi-brain tissue at the site of the injury, the corresponding contralateral hemi-brain tissue, and naM-CM-/ve (control) brain tissue (n=3 for each) were used for RNA isolation. The TBI injured animals were Todd 1, 2 Todd, and Todd 3, each yielding an ispilateral and contralateral sample. The naM-CM-/ve animals were Xu 13 control, Xu 2 control, and Xu 6 control.
