Alpha-synuclein containing cellular inclusions are a hallmark of Parkinson Disease, Lewy Body Dementia, and Multiple System Atrophy. A genome wide expression screen was performed in C. elegans overexpressing both wild-type and A53T human alpha-synuclein. 433 genes were up- and 67 genes down-regulated by statistical and fold change (> or <2) criteria. Gene ontology (GO) categories within the regulated gene lists indicated over-representation of development and reproduction, mitochondria, catalytic activity, and histone groups. Seven genes (pdr-1, ubc-7, pas-5, pas-7, pbs-4, RPT2, PSMD9) with function in the ubiquitin-proteasome system and 35 mitochondrial function genes were up-regulated. Nine genes that form histones H1, H2B, and H4 were down-regulated. These results demonstrate the effects of alpha-synuclein on proteasome and mitochondrial complex gene expression and provide further support for the role of these complexes in mediating neurotoxicity. The results also indicate an effect on nuclear protein genes that suggests a potential new avenue for investigation. 相似文献

Better understanding of mechanisms of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder: from human gene expression profiles to mouse models 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The molecular mechanisms of major mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, are unclear. To address this fundamental question, many groups have studied molecular expression profiles in postmortem brains and other tissues from patients compared with those from normal controls. Development of unbiased high-throughput approaches, such as microarray, RNA-seq, and proteomics, have supported and facilitated this endeavor. In addition to genes directly involved in neuron/glia signaling, especially those encoding for synaptic proteins, genes for metabolic cascades are differentially expressed in the brains of patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, compared with those from normal controls in DNA microarray studies. Here we propose the importance and usefulness of genetic mouse models in which such differentially expressed molecules are modulated. These animal models allow us to dissect the mechanisms of how such molecular changes in patient brains may play a role in neuronal circuitries and overall behavioral phenotypes. We also point out that models in which the metabolic genes are modified are obviously untested from mental illness viewpoints, suggesting the potential to re-address these models with behavioral assays and neurochemical assessments. 相似文献

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common age-associated neurodegenerative disorder. Motor symptoms are the cardinal component of PD, but non-motor symptoms, such as dementia, depression, and autonomic dysfunction are being increasingly recognized. Motor symptoms are primarily caused by selective degeneration of substantia nigra dopamine (SNDA) neurons in the midbrain; non-motor symptoms may be referable to well-described pathology at multiple levels of the neuraxis. Development of symptomatic and disease-modifying therapies is dependent on an accurate and comprehensive understanding of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of PD. Gene expression profiling has been recently employed to assess function on a broad level in the hopes of gaining greater knowledge concerning how individual mechanisms of disease fit together as a whole and to generate novel hypotheses concerning PD pathogenesis, diagnosis, and progression. So far, the majority of studies have been performed on postmortem brain samples from PD patients, but more recently, studies have targeted enriched populations of dopamine neurons and have begun to explore extra-nigral neurons and even peripheral tissues. This review will provide a brief synopsis of gene expression profiling in parkinsonism and its pitfalls to date and propose several potential future directions and uses for the technique. It will focus on the use of microarray experiments to stimulate hypotheses concerning mechanisms of neurodegeneration in PD, since the majority of studies thus far have addressed that complicated issue. 相似文献

The effects of neuronal induction on gene expression profile in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC)--a preliminary study using microarray analysis 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) have been anticipated as a donor for cell type for transplantation therapy in various neurological disorders. However, their neurogenic capacity still remains undetermined. In this study, we aimed to clarify whether in vitro chemical treatment promotes their neuronal differentiation on the level of gene expression. Mice BMSC were cultured with medium supplemented with DMSO, retinoic acid, and basic fibroblast growth factor, and their morphology and expression of neuronal markers were evaluated. Subsequently, using microarray and RT-PCR techniques, the treatment-induced changes in the gene expression profile were analyzed. After exposure to the medium, the BMSC simulated a neuron-like appearance and increased their immunoreactivity for nestin and Tuj-1. Microarray analysis revealed that the BMSC per se express the multilineage cellular genes, including those associated with the neuron. Chemical treatment significantly decreased the expression of genes related to mesenchymal cells and increased the expression of 5 neuron-associated genes. Microarray and RT-PCR analyses also demonstrated that the BMSC express the genes for several growth factors including NGF-beta and BDNF, indicating their therapeutic role in protecting the injured central nervous system. The present results suggest that at least a certain subpopulation of the BMSC have the potential to alter their gene expression profile in response to the surrounding environment and may possibly protect the host tissue by secreting neuroprotective factors. 相似文献

Summary The expression of proenkephalin (PENK), prodynorphin (PDYN) and c-fos genes was studied in the striatum of C57B1/6 mice treated with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6,-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), which are used as a rodent model of Parkinson's disease (PD). Two weeks after systemic administration of MPTP (2×40 mg/kg, s.c. 18h apart), the lesion of the substantia nigra (SN) could be visualised by loss of the nigral tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) mRNA hybridization signal and by a 91% decrease in striatal dopamine levels. The levels of PENK and PDYN mRNAs were not significantly changed in the striatum of the lesioned mice, as compared to non-treated controls. The induction of the immediate early gene c-fos by the dopamine D2 receptor antagonist haloperidol was not altered, while the selective D1 receptor agonist SKF 38393 failed to induce c-fos in the striatum of MPTP-treated mice.These results are in contrast to the data concerning rats with the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesion of the SN, which serve as another rodent model of PD. In the striata of 6-OHDA-lesioned rats, PENK gene is upregulated, PDYN gene is down-regulated and the induction of c-fos gene by D2 receptor antagonists is abolished, whereas selective D1 receptor agonists induce c-fos gene, which does not occur in non-lesioned rats.We presume that the lack of influence of the MPTP lesion in mice on the striatal gene expression was mainly caused by insufficient dopamine depletion in the striatum, which could not be increased in this model. The importance of the changes observed in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats has been discussed in the context of the mouse and primate MPTP models of PD. 相似文献
