Project description:Down syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability and a major biomedical concern. Despite a general consensus that protein homeostasis is essential for normal brain function, little is known about its role in DS. Here, we show that the integrated stress response (ISR)—a conserved signaling network that maintains proteostasis by controlling protein synthesis—is activated in the brains of DS mice and individuals with DS, leading to reduced translation. Genetic and pharmacological suppression of the ISR, either by inhibiting the ISR-initiating double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR) or boosting the function of the eIF2•eIF2B complex, which becomes limiting upon ISR activation, de-repressed translation, reversed enhanced inhibitory synaptic transmission, and rescued the deficits in synaptic plasticity and memory in DS mice. Our findings unveil a crucial role for the ISR in DS pathophysiology and suggest tuning of the ISR as a promising therapeutic intervention for DS.

Project description:Down syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability. Protein homeostasis is essential for normal brain function, but little is known about its role in DS pathophysiology. In this study, we found that the integrated stress response (ISR)-a signaling network that maintains proteostasis-was activated in the brains of DS mice and individuals with DS, reprogramming translation. Genetic and pharmacological suppression of the ISR, by inhibiting the ISR-inducing double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase or boosting the function of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF2-eIF2B complex, reversed the changes in translation and inhibitory synaptic transmission and rescued the synaptic plasticity and long-term memory deficits in DS mice. Thus, the ISR plays a crucial role in DS, which suggests that tuning of the ISR may provide a promising therapeutic intervention.

Project description:Prenatal stress (PNS) is a well-established risk factor for psychiatric disorders, yet the underlying neurobiological mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that PNS induces long-term behavioral abnormalities, including increased anxiety- and depressive-like behaviors in adult male mice. To investigate potential neurodevelopmental disruptions, we analyzed the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) at key postnatal stages. RNA sequencing at postnatal day 1 (P1) revealed significant transcriptional changes, particularly in genes associated with neuronal migration and differentiation, with a diminished effect by P14. Histological analysis identified a transient imbalance in inhibitory neuron subpopulations, PNS decreased the density of early-born MGE-derived neurons while increasing late-born CGE-derived neurons at P1. EdU labeling confirmed that these shifts were time- and subtype-specific, affecting inhibitory neuron proliferation at distinct embryonic stages. By P15, these neuroanatomical alterations largely resolved, yet behavioral abnormalities persisted into adulthood. Our findings suggest that PNS disrupts inhibitory neuron development during a critical early window, leading to lasting behavioral consequences despite the transient nature of anatomical changes. This study highlights the selective vulnerability of inhibitory neuron subtypes to early-life stress and provides insight into potential mechanisms underlying stress-related psychiatric disorders.

Project description:Studies of miRNA profiling in the plasma of patients between ISR and non-ISR Venous blood was collected in EDTA in the ward or the cardiac catheterization laboratory before the angiography procedure and heparin administration. Plasma was harvested by centrifugation and stored at -80°C until assayed. Identical volumes of plasma from the 6 patients with ISR and 4 patients with non-ISR were pooled to reach a final volume of 1500µL for each patient. Total RNA was extracted using miRVana isolation kit, dephosphorylated and labeled using miRNA Complete Labeling kit. Scanning was achieved with the illumina iScan System. The result were acquired with the Genome Studio (GenomeStudioV2009.1).

Project description:Down syndrome is characterized by a complex phenotype that includes developmental disabilities and congenital anomalies emerging during fetal life. The molecular origin of these abnormalities is poorly understood. Despite the evidence of prenatal onset of the phenotype, most therapeutic trials have been conducted in affected adults. This study presents evidence for fetal brain molecular and neonatal behavioral abnormalities in the Ts1Cje mouse model of Down syndrome. Gene expression changes were more pronounced in the Ts1Cje fetal brains than adult cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Functional pathway analyses showed that Ts1Cje embryonic brains display significant up-regulation of cell cycle and down-regulation of Solute-carrier amino acid transport pathways. Several cellular processes, including apoptosis, inflammation, Jak/Stat signaling, G-protein signaling and oxidoreductase activity were consistently dysregulated at both stages. Fetal brain gene expression changes were associated with early behavioral deficits in surface righting, cliff aversion, negative geotaxis, forelimb grasp, ultrasonic vocalization and homing tests. In combination with the human studies, this suggests that the Down syndrome phenotype manifests prenatally and provides a rationale for prenatal therapy to improve perinatal brain development and postnatal neurocognition. In the present study, we demonstrated that significant gene expression abnormalities were already present in the embryonic day 15 forebrain of the Ts1Cje mouse model of DS. The abnormal Ts1Cje embryonic molecular signature was associated with early postnatal developmental milestones and behavioral changes. These data provide a comprehensive picture of the genotype-phenotype relationship the Ts1Cje model of Down syndrome.

Project description:In response to different cellular stressors, the ISR kinases, PERK, PKR, HRI and GCN2, activate downstream transcriptional programs. While the core ISR transcription program is well characterized, markers that are specific to each individual ISR kinase activation pathway are not known. To identify markers that are induced by PERK or GCN2, but not the other ISR kinases, we subjected WT, GCN2-/-, and PERK-/- MEFs to amino acid starvation (RPMI 1640 SILAC -Lys -Arg) or Thapsigargin (200nM) treatment for 6 hours to activate the GCN2 and PERK pathways, respectively and performed RNA sequencing.

Project description:The survival and reproductive success of animals depends on the ability to harmonize their external behaviors with their internal states. For example, females conduct numerous social programs that are distinctive to virgins compared to post-mated and/or pregnant individuals. In Drosophila, the fact that the post-mating switch is initiated by seminal factors implies the default state as virgin. Recently, we uncovered molecular and genetic control of the female virgin state. In particular, repression of the transcription factor Homothorax (Hth) by mir-iab-4/8 within the abdominal ventral nerve cord (VNC) is critical for unmated females to execute virgin behaviors. To elucidate new components of this regulatory circuit, we exploited mir-iab-4/8 deletion and hth-miRNA binding site mutants (hth[BSmut]) to elucidate doublesex (dsx) as a critical downstream factor. While Dsx has mostly been studied during sex-specific differentiation, its activities in neurons are little known. We find that accumulation of Dsx in the CNS is mutually exclusive with Hth, and downregulated in miRNA/hth[BSmut] mutants. Moreover, experimental suppression of Dsx in highly restricted sets of abdominal neurons abrogates female virgin conducts, in favor of mated behavioral programs. Thus, a double negative pathway in the VNC mediates the virgin behavioral state.

We analyzed the forebrain whole transcriptome from embryonic day 15.5 (E15.5) Ts1Cje (n=5) and wild-type (n=5) using Affymetrix mouse gene 1.0 ST array. Data were normalized and analyzed to identify and accurately map genes that are significantly differentially expressed. Functional analyses were performed using GSEA and DAVID and DFLAT to better characterize cellular processes and pathways that are consistently affected in both brain regions. In separate experiments, the Fox scale, ultrasonic vocalization and homing tests were used to investigate postnatal behavioral deficits in Ts1Cje pups (n=29) versus WT littermates (n=64) at days 3 to 21.
