Project description:Chronic inflammation characterized by increased cytokine levels, such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), accompanies many neurological diseases but beside the sickness behavior syndrome, little is known about IL-1 contribution to cognitive impairment and its interplay with epigenetic processes, including the DNA double-strand break (DSB) response. Here, we demonstrate that H2A.X-dependent DSB signaling in hippocampal neurons drives cognitive deficits upon chronically elevated IL-1. Mice persistently and latently infected with Toxoplasma gondii display impaired spatial memory consolidation along with elevated IL-1 in the hippocampus. We find that neuronal IL-1 signaling in excitatory neurons is required for the spatial memory deficit caused by both T. gondii infection and chronic systemic infusion of IL-1β. The abrogation of neuronal H2A.X-dependent signaling simultaneously normalized the pathological transcriptional signatures imprinted by IL-1 in hippocampal neurons and prevented the spatial memory deficit. Our results highlight the instrumental role of cytokine-induced DSB-dependent signaling in spatial memory defects. This novel pathological mechanism in inflammation control of neuronal function may extend to several neurological diseases.

Project description:We found that transient treatment with Nutlin-3 of 2-month-old young adult FMR1-deficient mice prevents the emergence of neurogenic and cognitive deficits in mature adult FXS mice at 6-month of age. We further found that the long-lasting restoration of neurogenesis and cognitive function might not be mediated by changing intrinsic properties of adult neural stem cells. Transcriptomic analysis of the hippocampal tissue demonstrated that transient Nultin-3 treatment leads to significant expression changes in genes related to extracellular matrix, secreted factors, and cell membrane proteins in FMR1-deficient hippocampus

Project description:We used ChIP-seq to assess where p53 binds in the human genome and how that binding changes during the DNA double-strand break response. In particular, we considered the 1-Mb-wide window centered on the MYC locus. Contrary to previous reports, we found no evidence of p53 binding at the MYC promoter. Rather, we identified three locations downstream of MYC at which p53 was bound; binding at each of these regions increased during the DNA double-strand break response.

Project description:CGH of stage 13 amplifying follicle cells to measure changes in replication fork progression in double-strand break repair mutants Comparative genomic hybridization was performed to compare amplification gradients of stage 13 follicle cells from several double-strand break repair mutants to wild type (OrR) gradients. Two-three replicates were done for each genotype.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of peripheral (IV) administration of AβPP antisense on hippocampal gene expression as well as on learning and memory as measured by T-maze in adult male mice aged 12 months. The AβPP antisense treatment reversed learning and memory deficits and altered the expression of 944 hippocampal genes, which are involved in a coordinated set of signaling pathways. Expression and pathway findings were verified at the protein and functional (phosphorylation) levels. Global differential profiling of hippocampal gene expression (12 month old adult mice: Control, SAMP8, SAMP8 + Random antisense, SAMP8 + AβPP antisense) was performed using Affymetrix GeneChip® Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Arrays. The AβPP antisense reversed the memory deficits and altered expression of 944 hippocampal genes. Pathway analysis showed significant gene expression changes in 9 pathways. These include the MAPK signaling pathway (P = 0.0078) and the phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway (P = 0.043), which we have previously shown to be altered in SAMP8 mice. The changes in these pathways contributed to significant changes in the Neurotropin (P = 0.0083) and Insulin Signaling (P = 0.015) pathways, which are known to be important in learning and memory. Changes in these pathways were accompanied by phosphorylation changes in the downstream target proteins p70S6K, GSK3β, ERK, and CREB. These changes in hippocampal gene expression and protein phosphorylation may suggest specific new targets for antisense therapy aimed at improving memory. One-way ANOVA (4 conditions, n=4). Variables were treatment (AβPP antisense, Random antisense, no treatment) and mouse strain (Control and SAMP8). This results in 4 groups: (All 12-month-old adult male mice) NT-Control, NT_SAMP8, Random_AS-SAMP8, and AβPP_AS-SAMP8. Each group had 4 biological replicates (4 mice). The 'Control' mice were a 50% backcross of the SAMP8 mice with CD-1 mice (50% SAMP8 mice). These mice were closely related to SAMP8 mice but exhibited no memory deficits at 4 or 12 months. The SAMP8 mice had memory deficits at 12 months but not at 4 months.
