Project description:Immune molecules, including cytokines, chemokines, and their cognate receptors, are developmentally regulated in the brain and dynamically expressed in the context of neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disease. Here, we employed highly multiplexed in situ spatial transcriptomics to map the expression of major immune ligands and receptors in the developing mouse brain during mid and late gestation. Given the importance of the maternal environment in shaping fetal neurodevelopment, we also determined how the embryonic neuroimmune landscape was altered after maternal immune and microbiome perturbations, with notable sex-specific patterns. We discovered significant changes in the expression of the CXCL12/CXCR7 chemokine network after maternal immune activation and maternal microbiome depletion, suggesting an underlying mechanism for corticogenesis abnormalities. This resource underscores how the maternal environment programs the precise regulation of immune molecules in the developing brain, highlighting sex-specific disease vulnerability.

Project description:Exposure to maternal diabetes during pregnancy alters transcriptional profiles in the developing embryo. The enrichment, within the set of de-regulated genes, of those encoding transcriptional regulatory molecules provides support for the hypothesis that maternal diabetes affects specific developmental programs. We compared E10.5 cntrol embryos to E10.5 embryos from diabetic pregnancies in the FVB mouse strain.

Project description:Exposure to maternal diabetes during pregnancy alters transcriptional profiles in the developing embryo. The enrichment, within the set of de-regulated genes, of those encoding transcriptional regulatory molecules provides support for the hypothesis that maternal diabetes affects specific developmental programs. We compared E10.5 cntrol embryos to E10.5 embryos from diabetic pregnancies in the FVB mouse strain. Diabetes was induced in 7-9 week old female FVB mice by streptozotocin. Dams whose blood glucose levels exceeded 250 mg/dl were set up for mating. Embryos were dissected at E10.5 and total RNA was isolated. Equal amounts of RNA prepared from 3 individual embryos were pooled into one sample; each embryo was from a different pregnancy. Three pools were constructed for a total of nine embryos from diabetic pregnancies, and independently three pools for control embryos.

Project description:Diabetic embryopathy can affect any developing organ system, although cardiovascular malformations, neural tube defects and caudal dysgenesis syndrome are the most prominent congenital malformations. We hypothesize that the metabolic imbalance occurring in diabetic pregnancy de-regulates tissue specific gene expression programs in the developing embryo. In order to identify genes whose expression is affected by maternal diabetes, we analyzed gene expression profiles of diabetes-exposed mouse embryos by using Affymetrix microarrays. We identified 129 genes with altered expression levels; 21 genes had increased and 108 genes had decreased expression levels in diabetes-exposed embryos relative to controls. A substantial fraction of these genes (35) are essential for normal embryonic development as shown by functional studies in mouse models. The largest fraction of diabetes-affected genes was in transcription factor and DNA-binding/chromatin remodeling functional categories (19%), which directly affect transcription. These findings suggest that transcriptional regulation in the developing embryos is perturbed by maternal diabetes and that transcriptional regulation plays a major role in the responses of embryos to intrauterine exposure to diabetic conditions. Interestingly, we found the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 α (Hif1α) deregulated in the embryos exposed to the conditions of maternal diabetes. Since hypoxic stress is associated with the complications of diabetic pregnancy, we performed a post-hoc analysis of our microarray data with a specific focus on known HIF1 target genes. Of 39 genes detected in our microarrays, the expression changes of 22 genes (20 were increased and two genes were decreased in diabetes-exposed embryos) were statistically significant. These results indicate that HIF1-regulated pathways are affected in diabetes-exposed embryos. These results strongly suggest that de-regulation of hypoxia/HIF1 activated pathways could be the one of the key molecular events associated with the exposure to the teratogenic intrauterine environment of a diabetic mother.

Project description:TNF is a proinflammatory cytokine with established roles in host defense and immune system organogenesis. Here we report a novel physiological function of TNF that extends its effect beyond the host into the developing offspring. A partial/complete maternal TNF-deficit, specifically in hematopoietic cells, resulted in reduced milk levels of chemokines IP-10, MCP-1/-3/-5, and MIP-1β, which in turn, augmented offspring postnatal hippocampal proliferation, leading to improved adult spatial memory. These effects were reproduced by the postpartum administration of a clinically used anti-TNF agent. Chemokines, fed to suckling pups of TNF-deficient mothers, restored both postnatal proliferation and adult spatial memory to normal levels. This work identifies a TNF-dependent “lactrocrine” pathway that programs offspring hippocampal development and memory. The level of ambient TNF is known to be downregulated by physical activity/exercise and adaptive stress; thus, we propose that the maternal TNF-milk chemokine pathway evolved to promote offspring adaptation to post-weaning environmental challenges/competition.

Project description:This study used droplet-based snATAC-seq to profile the chromatin accessibility landscape of 91,922 nuclei in the mouse cerebellum across eleven developmental stages, from the beginning of neurogenesis (e10.5) till adulthood (P63). The study included two biological replicates per stage, one from each sex. Cerebelli were dissected as whole or in two halves, nuclei were extracted and profiled using 10x single-cell ATAC reagent kit (v1.0) and a Chromium controller. Libraries were sequenced using paired-reads on Illumina NextSeq 550 and initial data processing was performed using Cellranger ATAC (1.1).
