Fear memory regulation by the cAMP signaling pathway as an index of reexperiencing symptoms in posttraumatic stress disorder. Mol Psychiatry 2024:10.1038/s41380-024-02453-4. [PMID: 38409596 DOI: 10.1038/s41380-024-02453-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024]
Abstract
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder associated with traumatic memory, yet its etiology remains unclear. Reexperiencing symptoms are specific to PTSD compared to other anxiety-related disorders. Importantly, reexperiencing can be mimicked by retrieval-related events of fear memory in animal models of traumatic memory. Recent studies revealed candidate PTSD-associated genes that were related to the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathway. Here, we demonstrate the tight linkage between facilitated cAMP signaling and PTSD by analyzing loss- and gain-of-cAMP signaling effects on fear memory in mice and the transcriptomes of fear memory-activated mice and female PTSD patients with reexperiencing symptoms. Pharmacological and optogenetic upregulation or downregulation of cAMP signaling transduction enhanced or impaired, respectively, the retrieval and subsequent maintenance of fear memory in mice. In line with these observations, integrative mouse and human transcriptome analysis revealed the reduced mRNA expression of phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B), an enzyme that degrades cAMP, in the peripheral blood of PTSD patients showing more severe reexperiencing symptoms and the mouse hippocampus after fear memory retrieval. Importantly, more severe reexperiencing symptoms and lower PDE4B mRNA levels were correlated with decreased DNA methylation of a locus within PDE4B, suggesting the involvement of methylation in the mechanism of PTSD. These findings raise the possibility that the facilitation of cAMP signaling mediating the downregulation of PDE4B expression enhances traumatic memory, thereby playing a key role in the reexperiencing symptoms of PTSD patients as a functional index of these symptoms.

Arihara Y, Fukuyama Y, Kida S. Consolidation, reconsolidation, and extinction of contextual fear memory depend on de novo protein synthesis in the locus coeruleus. Brain Res Bull 2023; 202:110746. [PMID: 37604301 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2023.110746] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023]
Abstract
Memory consolidation is the process underlying the stabilization of labile short-term memory and the generation of long-term memory for persistent memory storage. The retrieval of contextual fear memory induces two distinct and opposite memory processes: reconsolidation and extinction. Reconsolidation re-stabilizes retrieved memory for re-storage, whereas memory extinction weakens fear memory and generates a new inhibitory memory. Importantly, the requirement for new gene expression is a critical biochemical feature of the consolidation, reconsolidation, and long-term extinction of memory. The locus coeruleus (LC) is a small nucleus in the brain stem that is composed predominantly of noradrenergic neurons that project to many brain regions. Recent studies have shown that the LC plays modulatory roles in the consolidation and extinction of auditory fear memory through its projections to brain regions contributing to memory storage. Here, we show that the LC is required for the consolidation, reconsolidation, and long-term extinction of contextual fear memory. We first observed that c-fos expression was induced in the LC following contextual fear conditioning to induce consolidation and following short and long re-exposure to the conditioning context to induce reconsolidation and long-term extinction, respectively. More importantly, inhibition of protein synthesis in the LC by a micro-infusion of anisomycin blocked the consolidation, reconsolidation, and long-term extinction of contextual fear memory. Our findings suggest that consolidation, reconsolidation, and long-term extinction occur in the LC and that the LC plays an essential role in memory storage and maintenance.

Brain N-Glycosylation and Lipidomic Profile Changes Induced by a High-Fat Diet in Dyslipidemic Hamsters. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032883. [PMID: 36769208 PMCID: PMC9918045 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24032883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
The consumption of diets rich in saturated fats is known to be associated with higher mortality. The adoption of healthy habits, for instance adhering to a Mediterranean diet, has proved to exert a preventive effect towards cardiovascular diseases and dyslipidemia. Little is known about how a suboptimal diet can affect brain function, structure, and the mechanisms involved. The aims of this study were to examine how a high-fat diet can alter the brain N-glycan and lipid profile in male Golden Syrian hamsters and to evaluate the potential of a Mediterranean-like diet to reverse this situation. During twelve weeks, hamsters were fed a normal fat diet (CTRL group), a high-fat diet (HFD group), and a high-fat diet followed by a Mediterranean-like diet (MED group). Out of seventy-two identified N-glycans, fourteen were significant (p < 0.05) between HFD and CTRL groups, nine between MED and CTRL groups, and one between MED and HFD groups. Moreover, forty-nine lipids were altered between HFD and CTRL groups, seven between MED and CTRL groups, and five between MED and HFD groups. Our results suggest that brain N-glycan composition in high-fat diet-fed hamsters can produce events comparable to those found in some neurodegenerative diseases, and may promote brain ageing.

Abstract
N-linked protein glycosylation in the brain is an understudied facet of glucose utilization that impacts a myriad of cellular processes including resting membrane potential, axon firing, and synaptic vesicle trafficking. Currently, a spatial map of N-linked glycans within the normal and Alzheimer's disease (AD) human brain does not exist. A comprehensive analysis of the spatial N-linked glycome would improve our understanding of brain energy metabolism, linking metabolism to signaling events perturbed during AD progression, and could illuminate new therapeutic strategies. Herein we report an optimized in situ workflow for enzyme-assisted, matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) of brain N-linked glycans. Using this workflow, we spatially interrogated N-linked glycan heterogeneity in both mouse and human AD brains and their respective age-matched controls. We identified robust regional-specific N-linked glycan changes associated with AD in mice and humans. These data suggest that N-linked glycan dysregulation could be an underpinning of AD pathologies.

Abstract
Endomembrane alkali cation (Na+, K+)/proton (H+) exchangers (eNHEs) are increasingly associated with neurological disorders. These eNHEs play integral roles in regulating the luminal pH, processing, and trafficking of cargo along the secretory (Golgi and post-Golgi vesicles) and endocytic (early, recycling, and late endosomes) pathways, essential regulatory processes vital for neuronal development and plasticity. Given the complex morphology and compartmentalization of multipolar neurons, the contribution of eNHEs in maintaining optimal pH homeostasis and cargo trafficking is especially significant during periods of structural and functional development and remodeling. While the importance of eNHEs has been demonstrated in a variety of non-neuronal cell types, their involvement in neuronal function is less well understood. In this review, we will discuss their emerging roles in excitatory synaptic function, particularly as it pertains to cellular learning and remodeling. We will also explore their connections to neurodevelopmental conditions, including intellectual disability, autism, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders.

Abstract
N-glycosylation is a ubiquitous posttranslational modification that affects protein structure and function, including those of the central nervous system. N-glycans attached to cell membrane proteins play crucial roles in all aspects of biology, including embryogenesis, development, cell-cell recognition and adhesion, and cell signaling and communication. Although brain function and behavior are known to be regulated by the N-glycosylation state of numerous cell surface glycoproteins, our current understanding of brain glycosylation is limited, and glycan variations associated with functional brain regions remain largely unknown. In this work, we used a well-established cell surface glycomic nanoLC-Chip-Q-TOF platform developed in our laboratory to characterize the N-glycome of membrane fractions enriched in cell surface glycoproteins obtained from specific functional brain areas. We report the cell membrane N-glycome of two major developmental divisions of mice brain with specific and distinctive functions, namely the forebrain and hindbrain. Region-specific glycan maps were obtained with ∼120 N-glycan compositions in each region, revealing significant differences in "brain-type" glycans involving high mannose, bisecting, and core and antenna fucosylated species. Additionally, the cell membrane N-glycome of three functional regions of the forebrain and hindbrain, the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum, was characterized. In total, 125 N-glycan compositions were identified, and their region-specific expression profiles were characterized. Over 70 N-glycans contributed to the differentiation of the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum N-glycome, including bisecting and branched glycans with varying degrees of core and antenna fucosylation and sialylation. This study presents a comprehensive spatial distribution of the cell-membrane enriched N-glycomes associated with five discrete anatomical and functional brain areas, providing evidence for the presence of a previously unknown brain glyco-architecture. The region-specific molecular glyco fingerprints identified here will enable a better understanding of the critical biological roles that N-glycans play in the specialized functional brain areas in health and disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postretrieval extinction attenuates the pathological memory associated with psychiatric states such as drug addiction in both humans and rodents. The extinction of a learned response requires gene transcription and protein synthesis after memory retrieval in a time-dependent manner, yet the precise physiological basis after retrieval to allow extinction to neutralize a learned behavior is not fully understood. METHODS In a cocaine conditioned place preference paradigm, we used a ribosomal tagging strategy to measure the translational state of hippocampal pyramidal neurons after the retrieval of cocaine-associated context memory. Using approaches of electrophysiology, neuronal tracing, and a doxycycline-dependent robust activity marking system, we investigated the cellular and molecular basis of retrieval-induced plasticity that facilitated the extinction. RESULTS Bioinformatics analysis discovered the specific translational regulation of signaling pathways by retrieval and revealed Nptx2 as the hub gene. Manipulating Nptx2 in dorsal hippocampus bidirectionally regulated the extinction of cocaine-associated context memory as well as the retrieval-driven synaptic remodeling. The pentraxin (PTX) domain of NPTX2 recruited GluA1-AMPA receptors and enhanced the extinction and excitatory synaptic transmission that was prevented by overexpressing carboxyl cytoplasmic tail of GluA1. Furthermore, Nptx2 in retrieval-activated neurons was required for the extinction. CONCLUSIONS The retrieval-driven upregulation of Nptx2 contributes to the synaptic remodeling in dorsal hippocampus and facilitates the extinction of cocaine-associated context memory, indicating a potential target for the treatment of cue-induced cocaine seeking.

Abstract
AIMS Steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1) is a key coactivator for the efficient transcriptional activity of steroids in the regulation of hippocampal functions. However, the effect of SRC-1 on hippocampal memory processes remains unknown. Our aim was to investigate the roles of hippocampal SRC-1 in the consolidation and reconsolidation of contextual fear memory in mice. MAIN METHODS Contextual fear conditioning paradigm was constructed in adult male C57BL/6 mice to examine the fear learning and memory processes. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) was infused into hippocampus to block hippocampal SRC-1 level. Immunofluorescent staining was used to detect the efficiency of transfection. High plus maze and open field test were used to determine anxiety and locomotor activity. Western blot analyses were used to detect the expression of SRC-1 and synaptic proteins in the hippocampus. KEY FINDINGS We first showed that the expression of SRC-1 was regulated by fear conditioning training in a time-dependent manner, and knockdown of SRC-1 impaired contextual fear memory consolidation without affecting innate anxiety or locomotor activity. In addition, hippocampal SRC-1 was also regulated by the retrieval of contextual fear memory, and downregulation of SRC-1 disrupted fear memory reconsolidation. Moreover, knockdown of SRC-1 reversed the increased GluR1 and PSD-95 levels induced by contextual fear memory retrieval. SIGNIFICANCE Our data indicate that hippocampal SRC-1 is required for the consolidation and reconsolidation of contextual fear memory, and SRC-1 may be a potential therapeutic target for mental disorders that are involved in hippocampal memory dysfunction.

Abstract
Cognitive performance in people varies according to time-of-day, with memory retrieval declining in the late afternoon-early evening. However, functional roles of local brain circadian clocks in memory performance remains unclear. Here, we show that hippocampal clock controlled by the circadian-dependent transcription factor BMAL1 regulates time-of-day retrieval profile. Inducible transgenic dominant negative BMAL1 (dnBMAL1) expression in mouse forebrain or hippocampus disrupted retrieval of hippocampal memories at Zeitgeber Time 8-12, independently of retention delay, encoding time and Zeitgeber entrainment cue. This altered retrieval profile was associated with downregulation of hippocampal Dopamine-cAMP signaling in dnBMAL1 mice. These changes included decreases in Dopamine Receptors (D1-R and D5-R) and GluA1-S845 phosphorylation by PKA. Consistently, pharmacological activation of cAMP-signals or D1/5Rs rescued impaired retrieval in dnBMAL1 mice. Importantly, GluA1 S845A knock-in mice showed similar retrieval deficits with dnBMAL1 mice. Our findings suggest mechanisms underlying regulation of retrieval by hippocampal clock through D1/5R-cAMP-PKA-mediated GluA1 phosphorylation.

A recurrent missense variant in SLC9A7 causes nonsyndromic X-linked intellectual disability with alteration of Golgi acidification and aberrant glycosylation. Hum Mol Genet 2019; 28:598-614. [PMID: 30335141 DOI: 10.1093/hmg/ddy371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2018] [Accepted: 10/12/2018] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
We report two unrelated families with multigenerational nonsyndromic intellectual disability (ID) segregating with a recurrent de novo missense variant (c.1543C>T:p.Leu515Phe) in the alkali cation/proton exchanger gene SLC9A7 (also commonly referred to as NHE7). SLC9A7 is located on human X chromosome at Xp11.3 and has not yet been associated with a human phenotype. The gene is widely transcribed, but especially abundant in brain, skeletal muscle and various secretory tissues. Within cells, SLC9A7 resides in the Golgi apparatus, with prominent enrichment in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and post-Golgi vesicles. In transfected Chinese hamster ovary AP-1 cells, the Leu515Phe mutant protein was correctly targeted to the TGN/post-Golgi vesicles, but its N-linked oligosaccharide maturation as well as that of a co-transfected secretory membrane glycoprotein, vesicular stomatitis virus G (VSVG) glycoprotein, was reduced compared to cells co-expressing SLC9A7 wild-type and VSVG. This correlated with alkalinization of the TGN/post-Golgi compartments, suggestive of a gain-of-function. Membrane trafficking of glycosylation-deficient Leu515Phe and co-transfected VSVG to the cell surface, however, was relatively unaffected. Mass spectrometry analysis of patient sera also revealed an abnormal N-glycosylation profile for transferrin, a clinical diagnostic marker for congenital disorders of glycosylation. These data implicate a crucial role for SLC9A7 in the regulation of TGN/post-Golgi pH homeostasis and glycosylation of exported cargo, which may underlie the cellular pathophysiology and neurodevelopmental deficits associated with this particular nonsyndromic form of X-linked ID.

Effect of Long-Term Sodium Salicylate Administration on Learning, Memory, and Neurogenesis in the Rat Hippocampus. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 2018:7807426.

Abstract
Tinnitus is thought to be caused by damage to the auditory and nonauditory system due to exposure to loud noise, aging, or other etiologies. However, at present, the exact neurophysiological basis of chronic tinnitus remains unknown. To explore whether the function of the limbic system is disturbed in tinnitus, the hippocampus was selected, which plays a vital role in learning and memory. The hippocampal function was examined with a learning and memory procedure. For this purpose, sodium salicylate (NaSal) was used to create a rat animal model of tinnitus, evaluated with prepulse inhibition behavior (PPI). The acquisition and retrieval abilities of spatial memory were measured using the Morris water maze (MWM) in NaSal-treated and control animals, followed by observation of c-Fos and delta-FosB protein expression in the hippocampal field by immunohistochemistry. To further identify the neural substrate for memory change in tinnitus, neurogenesis in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus (DG) was compared between the NaSal group and the control group. The results showed that acquisition and retrieval of spatial memory were impaired by NaSal treatment. The expression of c-Fos and delta-FosB protein was also inhibited in NaSal-treated animals. Simultaneously, neurogenesis in the DG was also impaired in tinnitus animals. In general, our data suggest that the hippocampal system (limbic system) may play a key role in tinnitus pathology.

Abstract
Memory consolidation, reconsolidation, and extinction have been shown to share similar molecular signatures, including new gene expression. Calpain is a Ca2+-dependent protease that exerts its effects through the proteolytic cleavage of target proteins. Neuron-specific conditional deletions of calpain 1 and 2 impair long-term potentiation in the hippocampus and spatial learning. Moreover, recent studies have suggested distinct roles of calpain 1 and 2 in synaptic plasticity. However, the role of hippocampal calpain in memory processes, especially memory consolidation, reconsolidation, and extinction, is still unclear. In the current study, we demonstrated the critical roles of hippocampal calpain in the consolidation, reconsolidation, and extinction of contextual fear memory in mice. We examined the effects of pharmacological inhibition of calpain in the hippocampus on these memory processes, using the N-Acetyl-Leu-Leu-norleucinal (ALLN; calpain 1 and 2 inhibitor). Microinfusion of ALLN into the dorsal hippocampus impaired long-term memory (24 h memory) without affecting short-term memory (2 h memory). Similarly, this pharmacological blockade of calpain in the dorsal hippocampus also disrupted reactivated memory but did not affect memory extinction. Importantly, the systemic administration of ALLN inhibited the induction of c-fos in the hippocampus, which is observed when memory is consolidated. Our observations showed that hippocampal calpain is required for the consolidation and reconsolidation of contextual fear memory. Further, the results suggested that calpain contributes to the regulation of new gene expression that is necessary for these memory processes as a regulator of Ca2+-signal transduction pathway.

Functional Connectivity of Multiple Brain Regions Required for the Consolidation of Social Recognition Memory. J Neurosci 2017; 37:4103-4116.

Abstract
Social recognition memory is an essential and basic component of social behavior that is used to discriminate familiar and novel animals/humans. Previous studies have shown the importance of several brain regions for social recognition memories; however, the mechanisms underlying the consolidation of social recognition memory at the molecular and anatomic levels remain unknown. Here, we show a brain network necessary for the generation of social recognition memory in mice. A mouse genetic study showed that cAMP-responsive element-binding protein (CREB)-mediated transcription is required for the formation of social recognition memory. Importantly, significant inductions of the CREB target immediate-early genes c-fos and Arc were observed in the hippocampus (CA1 and CA3 regions), medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and amygdala (basolateral region) when social recognition memory was generated. Pharmacological experiments using a microinfusion of the protein synthesis inhibitor anisomycin showed that protein synthesis in these brain regions is required for the consolidation of social recognition memory. These findings suggested that social recognition memory is consolidated through the activation of CREB-mediated gene expression in the hippocampus/mPFC/ACC/amygdala. Network analyses suggested that these four brain regions show functional connectivity with other brain regions and, more importantly, that the hippocampus functions as a hub to integrate brain networks and generate social recognition memory, whereas the ACC and amygdala are important for coordinating brain activity when social interaction is initiated by connecting with other brain regions. We have found that a brain network composed of the hippocampus/mPFC/ACC/amygdala is required for the consolidation of social recognition memory.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Here, we identify brain networks composed of multiple brain regions for the consolidation of social recognition memory. We found that social recognition memory is consolidated through CREB-meditated gene expression in the hippocampus, medial prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and amygdala. Importantly, network analyses based on c-fos expression suggest that functional connectivity of these four brain regions with other brain regions is increased with time spent in social investigation toward the generation of brain networks to consolidate social recognition memory. Furthermore, our findings suggest that hippocampus functions as a hub to integrate brain networks and generate social recognition memory, whereas ACC and amygdala are important for coordinating brain activity when social interaction is initiated by connecting with other brain regions.

Abstract
Tunicamycin (TM) induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and inhibits N-glycosylation in cells. ER stress is associated with neuronal death in neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, and most patients complain of the impairment of olfactory recognition. Here we examined the effects of TM on aversive olfactory learning and the underlying synaptic plasticity in the main olfactory bulb (MOB). Behavioral experiments demonstrated that the intrabulbar infusion of TM disabled aversive olfactory learning without affecting short-term memory. Histological analyses revealed that TM infusion upregulated C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), a marker of ER stress, in the mitral and granule cell layers of MOB. Electrophysiological data indicated that TM inhibited tetanus-induced long-term potentiation (LTP) at the dendrodendritic excitatory synapse from mitral to granule cells. A low dose of TM (250nM) abolished the late phase of LTP, and a high dose (1μM) inhibited the early and late phases of LTP. Further, high-dose, but not low-dose, TM reduced the paired-pulse facilitation ratio, suggesting that the inhibitory effects of TM on LTP are partially mediated through the presynaptic machinery. Thus, our results support the hypothesis that TM-induced ER stress impairs olfactory learning by inhibiting synaptic plasticity via presynaptic and postsynaptic mechanisms in MOB.
