Project description:Local translation is a conserved molecular mechanism. It allows a cell with a complex shape to bypass somatic protein synthesis and transport, and thus to respond quickly to a local stimulus. Local translation also contributes to the establishment of molecular and functional polarity. In the brain, it has been extensively studied in neurons and has also been described more recently in astrocytes - a type of glial cell with specialized extensions that contact vessels and synapses. Here, we studied perisynaptic astrocytic processes (PAPs) in the dorsal hippocampus and showed that they contain RNAs, ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment, particles of the Golgi apparatus, and protein synthesis events. We used our recently refined polysome immunoprecipitation technique to characterize the pool of polysomal mRNAs in PAPs (which we refer to as the “PAPome”) from the dorsal hippocampus and compared it with the polysomal mRNAs found in the astrocyte as a whole. The polysomal transcripts that were enriched in the PAPome encoded mostly cytoplasmic proteins and defined an unexpected molecular repertoire with the most enriched transcripts coding for proteins involved in iron homeostasis, translation, cell cycle and cytoskeleton. Interestingly, among them Erz, Fth1, and Rplp1 were enriched in PAPs compared to perivascular astrocytic processes indicating that local translation differ at these two interfaces and may sustain distinct molecular properties. The PAP-enriched transcripts Flt1, Fth1, Ccnd2, Mdm2, Gnb2l1 and Eef1a1 code for proteins involved in memory and learning mechanisms. We therefore studied their local translation in the context of fear conditioning (i.e. behavior involving the dorsal hippocampus). We observed changes in the density and/or distribution of these mRNAs in astrocytes processes as well as a drop of their translation specifically in PAPs. Our results highlight unexpected molecular properties of hippocampal PAPs and suggest for the first time that local translation in this perisynaptic compartment is linked to fear-related memory.

Project description:Genomic aberrations were determined by array-based comparative genomic hybridization in 131 diffuse astrocytic gliomas, including 87 primary glioblastomas (pGBIV), 13 secondary glioblastomas (sGBIV), 19 anaplastic astrocytomas (AAIII), and 12 diffuse astrocytomas (AII). Expression profiling was performed for 74 tumors (42 pGBIV, 11 sGBIV, 13 AAIII, 8 AII). 131 aCGH experiments. 87 EP experiments (x2 dye swap). DNA and RNA extracted from the same patients.

Project description:Emerging evidence increasingly indicates that astrocytes are involved in neuropsychiatric disorders, including addiction, but the cocaine-induced astrocyte transcriptome has yet to be investigated. We performed RNA-sequencing on whole-cell sorted astrocytes from the nucleus accumbens and bioinformatically characterized the astrocyte transcriptome following cocaine self-administration in male mice. We found that astrocytes exhibit robust and contextually-specific transcriptional signatures that implicate CREB as a cocaine-induced transcriptional regulator in astrocytes. CUT&RUN-sequencing revealed increased astrocytic CREB DNA binding in response to cocaine. Viral-mediated manipulation of NAc astrocytic CREB activity in combination with addiction-related behaviors revealed that astrocytic CREB increases the rewarding and reinforcing properties of cocaine. Furthermore, we identified potential molecular mechanisms of astrocytic CREB’s influence through modulating astrocytic calcium dynamics and selectively increasing D1-type medium spiny neuronal activity.

Project description:Recalled memories become transiently labile and require stabilization. The mechanism for specifically stabilizing memories of critical experiences essential for survival, which are often emotionally salient and repeated, remains unclear. Here, we identified an astrocytic ensemble that is transcriptionally primed by emotional experience and functionally triggered by repeated experience to stabilize labile memory. Using our novel brain-wide Fos tagging and imaging method, we found that astrocytic Fos ensembles were preferentially recruited in regions with neuronal engrams and were more widespread during fear recall than conditioning. We established the induction mechanism of the astrocytic ensemble, which involves two steps: (i) an initial fear experience inducing day-long, slow astrocytic state changes with noradrenaline (NA) receptor upregulation, and (ii) enhanced NA responses during recall, a repeated experience, enabling astrocytes to integrate coincident signals from local engrams and long-range NA projections, inducing secondary astrocytic state changes, including the upregulation of Fos and the neuromodulatory molecule Igfbp2. Pharmacological and genetic perturbation of the astrocytic ensemble signaling modulate engrams, and memory stability and precision. The astrocytic ensemble therefore is as a multiday trace left in a subset of astrocytes after experience-dependent neural activity, making them eligible to capture future repeated experiences for stabilizing memories.

Project description:Diffuse gliomas represent the most prevalent class of primary brain tumor. Despite significant recent advances in the understanding of glioblastoma (WHO IV), its most malignant subtype, lower-grade (WHO II and III) glioma variants remain comparatively understudied, especially in light of their notably variable clinical behavior. To examine the foundations of this heterogeneity, we performed multidimensional molecular profiling, including global transcriptional analysis, on 101 lower-grade diffuse astrocytic gliomas collected at our own institution, and validated our findings using publically available gene expression and copy number data from large independent patient cohorts. We found that IDH mutational status delineated molecularly and clinically distinct glioma subsets, with IDH mutant (IDH mt) tumors exhibiting TP53 mutations, PDGFRA overexpression, and prolonged survival, and IDH wild-type (IDH wt) tumors exhibiting EGFR amplification, PTEN loss, and unfavorable disease outcome. Furthermore, global expression profiling revealed three robust molecular subclasses within lower-grade diffuse astrocytic gliomas, two of which were predominantly IDH mt and one almost entirely IDH wt. IDH mt subclasses were distinguished from each other on the basis of TP53 mutations, DNA copy number abnormalities, and links to distinct stages of neurogenesis in the subventricular zone (SVZ). This latter finding implicates discrete pools of neuroglial progenitors as cells of origin for the different subclasses of IDH mt tumors. In summary, we have elucidated molecularly distinct subclasses of lower-grade diffuse astrocytic glioma that dictate clinical behavior and demonstrate fundamental associations with both IDH mutational status and neuroglial developmental stage. 80 tumor samples, one normal tissue sample (brain)

Project description:This study aims at investigating differential gene expression in human astrocytic tumours of grades I, II, III and IV. A total of 65 tumours were assessed using the Affymetrix U133A GeneChip. The study aims not only at discovering the main expression differences between astrocytic tumours of distinct histological grades but also wishes to correlate these findings with the known histopathological hallmarks of astrocytoma progression. Further, the study aims at correlating gene expression with previously obtained genomic information for several loci known to be involved in astrocytoma tumour progression. Keywords: other
