Project description:Chromosomes and genes are non-randomly arranged within the mammalian cell nucleus. Clustering of genes is of great significance in transcriptional regulation. However, the relevance of gene clustering in their expression during differentiation of neural precursor cells (NPCs) into astrocytes remains unclear. We performed a genome-wide enhanced circular chromosomal conformation capture (e4C) to screen genes associated with an astrocyte-specific gene, glial fibrillary acidic protein (Gfap), during astrocyte differentiation. We identified 13 genes that were specifically associated with Gfap and expressed in NPC-derived astrocytes. These results provide evidence for functional significance of gene clustering in transcriptional regulation during NPCs differentiation. comparison of NPCs vs LIF+ vs LIF- cells.

Project description:We aim to identify mRNAs present in astrocyte endfeet. We performed a microarray study comparing mRNAs extracted from brain vessels purified from 2-month-old C57Bl6 mice, submitted or not to a partial basal lamina enzymatic digestion, allowing to remove astrocyte endfeet membranes and their associated astroglial mRNAs from the purified vessels. mRNAs depleted upon basal lamina digestion represent a specific population of astrocyte mRNAs transported in the perivascular endfeet

Project description:After mapping to transcriptome using bowtie2 and peak calling by RNA peak caller (cfPeak), count matrix was created by merge 3 pairs of samples.

Project description:Astrocytes are central nervous system (CNS)-restricted glial cells involved in synaptic function and CNS blood flow regulation. Astrocyte extracellular vesicles (EVs) participate in neuronal regulation. EVs carry RNAs, either surface-bound or luminal, which can be transferred to recipient cells. We characterized the secreted EVs and RNA cargo of human astrocytes derived from an adult brain. EVs were isolated by serial centrifugation and characterized with nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), Exoview, and immuno-transmission electron microscopy (TEM). RNA from cells, EVs, and proteinase K/RNase-treated EVs was analyzed by miRNA-seq. Human adult astrocyte EVs ranged in sizes from 50 to 200 nm, with CD81 as the main tetraspanin marker and larger EVs positive for integrin β1. Comparison of the RNA between the cells and EVs identified RNA preferentially secreted in the EVs. In the case of miRNAs, enrichment analysis of their mRNA targets indicates that they are good candidates for mediating EV effects on recipient cells. The most abundant cellular miRNAs were also abundant in EVs, and the majority of their mRNA targets were found to be downregulated in mRNA-seq data, but the enrichment analysis lacked neuronal specificity. Proteinase K/RNase treatment of EV-enriched preparations identified RNAs secreted independently of EVs. Comparing the distribution of cellular and secreted RNA identifies the RNAs involved in intercellular communication via EVs.

Project description:Recent studies have described a new mechanism of intercellular communication mediated by various types of extracellular vesicles (EVs). In particular, exosomes are small EVs (sEVs) released to the extracellular environment by the fusion of the endosomal pathway-related multivesicular bodies (containing intraluminal vesicles) with the plasma membrane. sEVs contain a molecular cargo consisting of lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. However, the loading mechanisms for this complex molecular cargo have not yet been completely elucidated. In that line, the post translational modification SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier) has been shown to impact the incorporation of select proteins into sEVs. We therefore decided to investigate whether SUMOylation is a mechanism that defines protein loading to sEVs. In order to investigate the role of SUMOylation in cargo loading into sEVs, we utilized astrocytes, an essential cell type of the central nervous system with homeostatic functions, to study the impact of SUMOylation on the protein cargo of sEVs. Following SUMO overexpression, achieved by transfection of SUMO plasmids or experimental conditions that modulate SUMOylation in primary astrocyte cultures, we detected proteins related to cell division, translation, and transcription by mass-spectrometry. In astrocyte cultures treated with the general SUMOylation inhibitor 2-D08 (2′,3′,4′-trihydroxy-flavone, 2-(2,3,4-Trihydroxyphenyl)-4H-1-Benzopyran-4-one) we observed an increase in the number of sEVs and a decreased amount of protein cargo within them. In turn, in astrocytes treated with the stress hormone corticosterone, we found an increase of SUMO-2 conjugated proteins and sEVs from these cells contained an augmented protein cargo. In this case, the proteins detected with mass-spectrometry were mostly proteins related to protein translation. To test whether astrocyte-derived sEVs obtained in these experimental conditions could modulate protein synthesis in target cells, we incubated primary neurons with astrocyte-derived sEVs. sEVs from corticosterone-treated astrocytes stimulated protein synthesis while no difference was found with sEVs derived from 2-D08-treated astrocytes. Our results show that SUMO conjugation plays a fundamental role in defining the protein cargo of sEVs impacting the physiological function of target cells.

Project description:Normal brain aging is marked by a cognitive decline, spurred by changes in cellular metabolism and homeostatic dysregulation, as well as modifications in synapses and neuronal connectivity. Astrocytes are well positioned as an effector of these changes, although how properties of astrocytes change with age remains unclear. Here, we address this question by profiling astrocytic gene expression from multiple brain regions of adult (4 month-old) and aged (2 years-old) mice. We isolated mRNA from transgenic mice where ribosomes within astrocytes were genetically tagged (GFAP-cre x RPL22-HA, astrocyte ribotag). We then used RNA sequencing to identify and quantify the astrocyte-enriched mRNA, analyzing 4 different brain regions: visual cortex, somatomotor cortex, hypothalamus, and cerebellum. Overall, we find that astrocyte expression of inflammatory and immune response factors increase with age, as well as changes in genes associated with metabolism, cholesterol synthesis, and synaptogenesis. Going forward, these data contribute to an understanding of astrocyte diversity and provide insight into the role of astrocytes in normal aging.
