Pro-regenerative macrophages are well known for their role in promoting tissue repair, however in nerve injury their role in promoting regenerative events is not well defined. Macrophage-targeted RNAseq revealed that macrophages expressed an array of ligands post nerve injury that interact with the injury environement to regulate regeneration. Overall design: RNAseq experiment was performed on FACS-collected cells obtained from the nerves of adult female mice (n=7-8 per time point at Day 3 and 8 post-nerve injury) from a double macrophage reporter (Cx3cr1-GFP/Ccr2-RFP) mouse line (stock no.: 017586; stock No.: 005582, Jackson Laboratories). Samples were pooled to obtain 2 RNAseq sample replicates per time point. Monocytes were also included as a reference.

Effects of Acute Prenatal Exposure to Ethanol on microRNA Expression are Ameliorated by Social Enrichment.

View SamplesIn this study, we tested if miRNAs are altered in amygdala and ventral striatum as a consequence of prenatal ethanol exposure and/or social enrichment. miRNA samples from 72 male and female adolescent rats were analyzed by RNA-Seq analysis and Affymetrix miRNA arrays. Several miRNAs showed significant changes due to prenatal ethanol exposure or social enrichment in one or both brain regions. Some of the miRNA changes caused by ethanol were reversed by social enrichment. The top predicted gene targets of these miRNAs were mapped and subjected to pathway enrichment analysis. We also directly examined the evidence for modulation of target mRNAs in whole transcriptome microarray data from the same rats. Among the pathways most strongly affected were p53, CREB, Glutamate and GABA signaling. Together, our data suggest a number of novel epigenetic mechanisms for social enrichment to reverse the effects of ethanol exposure.

View SamplesTo compare the RNAs present in dendrites and somas of individual neurons, we manually separated the dendrites and soma of primary mouse hippocampal neurons using a micropipette and performed RNA-sequencing on each subcellular fraction such that we obtained the subcellular transcriptomes of the same cell. Overall design: 16 individual neurons were collected and dissected (yielding a total of 32 soma and dendrite samples) from multiple cultures across multiple days. ERCC spike-in control RNA was added to each sample.

View SamplesEthanol inhibits the proliferation of neural stem cells in the fetal, adolescent, and adult brain. The consequences are cognitive deficits associated with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and alcohol use disorder. We tested the hypothesis that ethanol affects progression through cell cycle checkpoints by differentially modifying transcriptional processes. Monolayer cultures of NS-5 neural stem cells were treated for 48 hr with the mitogenic agent FGF2 or the anti-mitogenic TGF1 in the absence or presence of ethanol. Cell cycle elongation was induced by a global down-regulation of genes involved in cell cycle progression, including the cyclin E system. Checkpoint regulation occurred downstream of p21 and Jun-oncogene signaling cascades. Thus, ethanol can affect cell cycle progression by altering transcript expression of strategic genes downstream of the G1/S checkpoint.
