Mouse Prefontal Cortex Astrocyte Proteome

ABSTRACT: Anxiety disorders are among the most common and disabling mental health disorders worldwide with inadequate therapeutic options. Numerous clinical and research studies indicate essential neuronal contribution to anxiety, yet the mechanisms of non-neuronal cells governing this emotional state remain poorly understood. Here, we show that non-neuronal astrocytes in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) encode anxiogenic environmental cues. Silencing mPFC astrocyte Ca2+ signaling heightens anxiety-like behavior and disrupts the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neuronal population activity. Moreover, this effect is differentially pronounced across behaviorally tuned neuronal subpopulations on single cell and network levels. Using cell type-specific proximity-dependent biotinylation approaches, we further identified significant protein expression changes in astrocytes and at the astrocyte-neuron interface within the mPFC.

Proteomic profiling of astrocytic O-GlcNAc transferase related proteins in the mPFC

Project description:Our research showed that astrocytic OGT could influence the expression of proteins in the mPFC. Most of these altered proteins participate in metabolic process, transferase activity, and biosynthetic process. GFAP, an astrocyte maker, was increased after OGT deletion. These results provide a framework for further study on the role of astrocytic OGT/O-GlcNAcylation in the mPFC.

Transcription profile of aging and cognitive-related genes in the medial prefrontal cortex and hippocampal region CA1

Project description:This study focused on transcription in the medial PFC (mPFC) as a function of age and cognition. Young and aged F344 rats were characterized on tasks, attentional set shift and spatial memory, which depend on the mPFC and hippocampus, respectively. Differences in transcription associated with age and cognitive function were examined using RNA sequencing to construct transcriptomic profiles for the mPFC, white matter, and region CA1 of the hippocampus. The results indicate regional differences in vulnerability to aging associated with increased expression of immune and defense response genes and a decline in synaptic and neural activity genes. Importantly, we provide evidence for region specific transcription related to behavior. In particular, expression of transcriptional regulators and neural activity-related immediate-early genes (IEGs) are increased in the mPFC of aged animals that exhibit delayed set shift behavior; relative to age-matched animals that exhibit set shift behavior similar to younger animals. The study contains 11 young and 20 aged rats for the mPFC and CA1 samples, which were used to investigate expression patterns associated with aging and behavior. White matter samples were used to investigate an age-related effect with 8 young and 9 aged rats.

Early remodeling of the neocortex upon episodic memory encoding

Project description:Understanding the mechanisms by which long-term memories are formed and stored in the brain represents a central aim of neuroscience. Prevailing theory suggests that long-term memory encoding involves early plasticity within hippocampal circuits, while reorganization of the neocortex is thought to occur weeks to months later to subserve remote memory storage. Here we report that long-term memory encoding can elicit early transcriptional, structural and functional remodeling of the neocortex. Parallel studies using genome-wide RNA-sequencing, ultrastructural imaging, and whole-cell recording in wild-type mice suggest that contextual fear conditioning initiates a transcriptional program in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) that is accompanied by rapid expansion of the synaptic active zone and postsynaptic density, enhanced dendritic spine plasticity, and increased synaptic efficacy. To address the real-time contribution of the mPFC to long-term memory encoding, we performed temporally precise optogenetic inhibition of excitatory mPFC neurons during contextual fear conditioning. Using this approach, we found that real-time inhibition of the mPFC inhibited activation of the entorhinal-hippocampal circuit and impaired the formation of long-term associative memory. These findings suggest that encoding of long-term episodic memory is associated with early remodeling of neocortical circuits, identify the prefrontal cortex as a critical regulator of encoding-induced hippocampal activation and long-term memory formation, and have important implications for understanding memory processing in healthy and diseased brain states. 4 biological replicates per group were analyzed. The material analyzed was medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC; anterior cingulate cortex subregion) from both brain hemispheres, from which total RNA was extracted.

Proteome profiling in aging rat brain by LC-MS/MS

Project description:This study investigated proteome profile in the hippocampus, medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and striatum of 14, 18, 23, and 27 months old rats in order to see the effect of aging on proteins in these regions. Using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q Exactive HF Orbitrap mass spectrometry, we identified 1074 proteins in the hippocampus, 871 proteins in the mPFC, and 241 proteins the striatum. Ninety-seven, 25, and 5 of these proteins were differentially expressed with age in the hippocampus, mPFC, and striatum, respectively. Overall, aging causes divergent protein changes in specific brain regions, with the most prominent changes observed in the late-aged.

Intra-subject correlation of brain and blood gene expression in a mouse model of depression

Project description:Gene expression profiling of blood cells in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) has been used to identify potential biomarkers and to address the pathophysiology of MDD. However, whether alteration in gene expression in blood cells are reflected in the brain of the same individual is unclear. Here, we used an animal model of depression to investigate intra-subject correlation of gene expression patterns between the whole blood (WB) and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Ovariectomized mice exposed to the chronic ultra-mild stress were used as an animal model of depression. The major findings of the current genome-wide microarray analysis are that 1) the expression levels of 467 genes that were expressed in both tissues correlated positively between the two tissues, 2) alterations in the expression of 4,215 genes in the WB of OVX-operated mice compared to the sham-operated mice were concordant with alterations in the corresponding mPFC, 3) the biological terms over-represented in the 4,215 OVX-affected genes were associated with ribosomal function, and 4) the 6 genes that are potentially relevant to depression-like behavior were observed to be differentially expressed in the WB of the model mice. The current findings suggest that alterations in the expression of a subset of genes are significantly correlated between the WB and the mPFC with in the same individual in an experimental model of depression. Female mice were subjected to chronic ultra-mild stress, a bilateral ovariectomy, or both. Sham-operated mice without stress were used as the control. Medial prefrontal cortex and whole blood were obtained from the same individual (n = 6 in each group), and analyzed using an Agilent SurePrint G3 Mouse GE 8×60K Microarray (Design ID: 028005)

Proteomic analysis of gliosomes from mouse brain for investigation of glial membrane proteins

Project description:Astrocytes are increasingly recognized as crucial contributors to neuronal function at synapses, axons, and somas. Reliable methods that can provide insight into the astrocyte proteins at the neuron-astrocyte functional interface are highly desirable. Here we conducted a mass spectrometry analysis of Percoll® gradient isolated gliosomes, a viable preparation of glial subcellular particles often used to study mechanisms of astrocytic transmitter uptake and release and their regulation. Gliosomes were compared with synaptosomes, a preparation containing the neurotransmitter release machinery, and accordingly synaptosomes were enriched for proteins involved in synaptic vesicle mediated transport. Interestingly, gliosome preparations were found to be enriched for different classes of known astrocyte proteins, such as VAMP3 (involved in astrocyte exocytosis), Ezrin (perisynaptic astrocyte cytoskeletal protein), and Basigin (astrocyte membrane glycoprotein), as well as for G-protein mediated signaling proteins. Together, these data provide the first detailed description of the gliosome proteome and show that gliosomes can be a useful preparation to study glial membrane proteins and associated processes.

The influence of the estrous cycle on sex differences in the rat adult medial prefrontal cortex transcriptome [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Hormonal fluctuations throughout the ovarian cycle contribute to femalesâ?? higher vulnerability to anxiety disorders when compared to males. Notably, such sex differences are controlled by regulation of genes in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) including the transcription factor early growth response 1 (Egr1) in rats, which highlights a control of anxiety-like behaviors by sexually-biased gene expression. We therefore undertook a large-scale characterization of sex differences and their interaction with the estrous cycle in the adult mPFC transcriptome and report that proestrus and diestrus females (with high and low ovarian hormones levels, respectively) exhibited a partly-opposed sexually-biased transcriptome. Surprisingly, the extent of regulations within females vastly exceeded sex differences, and support a multi-level reorganization of synaptic function across the estrous cycle. Furthermore, genome-wide analysis of Egr1 binding highlighted its role in controlling the synapse-related genes varying within females, and the sex- and estrous cycle-dependent transcriptomic reorganization in the rat mPFC. Early growth response 1 (Egr1) binding profiling in the adult rat medial prefrontal cortex of males, proestrus females, and diestrus females. A total of 9 animals were used, corresponding to 3 Males, 2 proestrus females, and 4 diestrus females.

Inhibition of BET proteins during adolescence affects prefrontal cortex development: relevance to schizophrenia

Project description:Background: The present study investigated a role of proteins from BET family (epigenetic readers) in schizophrenia-like abnormalities in MAM-E17 model of schizophrenia. Methods: An inhibitor of BET proteins, JQ1, was given during adolescence in postnatal days (P) 23-P30, and behavioral response (sensorimotor gating, recognition memory) and prefrontal cortex (mPFC) function (long-term potentiation (LTP), molecular and proteomic studies) were performed in adult males and females. Results: Deficits in sensorimotor gating and recognition memory were observed only in MAM-treated males. However, adolescent JQ1 treatment affected control, but MAM-treated groups in both sexes. Electrophysiological study showed an LTP impairment only in male MAM-treated animals, and JQ1 did not have any effect on LTP in the mPFC. In contrast, MAM did not affect immediate early gene expression (markers of neuronal and synaptic activity), but JQ1 altered them in both sexes. Proteomic study revealed alterations in MAM-treated groups only in males, while JQ1 affected both sexes. Conclusions: Prenatal MAM administration induced schizophrenia-like abnormalities only in males. In contrast, adolescent JQ1 treatment affected both sexes and induced behavioral changes in control groups, altered a markers of neuronal and synaptic activity and proteomic landscape in the mPFC of both groups (VEH- and MAM-treated). Thus, adolescent inhibition of BET family might change neuroplasticity in the mPFC.

Aberrant astrocyte protein secretion contributes to altered neuronal development in diverse disorders

Project description:Astrocytes negatively impact neuronal development in a range of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDs), however how they do this, and if mechanisms are shared across multiple disorders, is not known. We developed an in vitro system to ask how astrocyte protein secretion and gene expression change in 3 genetic NDs. This identified disorder specific changes, as well as core proteins that are increased in release in all 3 NDs. ND astrocytes increase release of Igfbp2, and blocking Igfbp2 partially rescues the neurite outgrowth inhibitory effects of Rett Syndrome astrocytes. We identified that ND astrocytes upregulate release of Bmp6, which acts on astrocytes themselves and is upstream of astrocyte secretion changes in NDs. Blocking Bmp signaling in Fragile X Syndrome astrocytes reverses the inhibitory effects of FXS astrocytes on neuronal development. We provide a resource of astrocyte secreted proteins in health and NDs, as well as novel targets for intervention in diverse NDs.
