Deletion of Crtc1 leads to hippocampal neuroenergetic impairments associated with depressive-like behavior

Bernard Lanz, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Rolf Gruetter, Carole Poitry-Yamate, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Olivia Zanoletti, Jocelin Grosse

Mood disorders (MD) are a major burden on society as their biology remains poorly understood, challenging both diagnosis and therapy. Among many observed biological dysfunctions, homeostatic dysregulation, such as metabolic syndrome (MeS), shows considerab ...

New Insights Into the Pivotal Role of CREB-Regulated Transcription Coactivator 1 in Depression and Comorbid Obesity

Antoine Timothée Cherix, Jean-René Cardinaux

Depression and obesity are major public health concerns, and there is mounting evidence that they share etiopathophysiological mechanisms. The neurobiological pathways involved in both mood and energy balance regulation are complex, multifactorial and stil ...

Excitatory/inhibitory neuronal metabolic balance in mouse hippocampus upon infusion of [U-C-13(6)]glucose

Bernard Lanz, Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Carole Poitry-Yamate, Guillaume Donati, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Blanca Lizarbe Serra

Hippocampus plays a critical role in linking brain energetics and behavior typically associated to stress exposure. In this study, we aimed to simultaneously assess excitatory and inhibitory neuronal metabolism in mouse hippocampus in vivo by applying (18) ...

In Vivo Metabolism of [1,6-C-13(2)]Glucose Reveals Distinct Neuroenergetic Functionality between Mouse Hippocampus and Hypothalamus

Bernard Lanz, Hongxia Lei, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Rajesh Sonti

Glucose is a major energy fuel for the brain, however, less is known about specificities of its metabolism in distinct cerebral areas. Here we examined the regional differences in glucose utilization between the hypothalamus and hippocampus using in vivo i ...

Mitochondrial gene signature in the prefrontal cortex for differential susceptibility to chronic stress

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Rolf Gruetter, Bart Deplancke, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Jocelin Grosse, Julie Marie Russeil, Daniel Alpern, Meltem Weger, Sriparna Ghosal

Mitochondrial dysfunction was highlighted as a crucial vulnerability factor for the development of depression. However, systemic studies assessing stress-induced changes in mitochondria-associated genes in brain regions relevant to depression symptomatolog ...

Metabolic signature in nucleus accumbens for anti-depressant-like effects of acetyl-L-carnitine

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Rolf Gruetter, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Jocelin Grosse, Thomas Didier Larrieu, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues

Emerging evidence suggests that hierarchical status provide vulnerability to develop stress-induced depression. Energy metabolic changes in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) were recently related to hierarchical status and vulnerability to develop depression-lik ...

The Appearance of the Warburg Effect in the Developing Avian Eye Characterized In Ovo: How Neurogenesis Can Remodel Neuroenergetics

Rolf Gruetter, Carole Poitry-Yamate, Laurent Brodier, Antoine Timothée Cherix

PURPOSE. The avian eye is an established model for exploring mechanisms that coordinate morphogenesis and metabolism during embryonic development. Less is known, however, about trafficking of bioenergetic and metabolic signaling molecules that are involved ...

Study of brain metabolic dysfunctions in animal models of mood disorder using magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Antoine Timothée Cherix

Mood disorders, in particular depression, are a major burden of our society. Due to the poor knowledge of the biological basis of these diseases, classification remains based on arbitrary symptomatic parameters. As a result, the existing pharmacological tr ...

High-fat diet consumption alters energy metabolism in the mouse hypothalamus

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Blanca Lizarbe Serra, Jean-René Cardinaux

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: High-fat diet consumption is known to trigger an inflammatory response in the hypothalamus, which has been characterized by an initial expression of pro-inflammatory genes followed by hypothalamic astrocytosis, microgliosis, and the ...

Feasibility of in vivo measurement of glucose metabolism in the mouse hypothalamus by (1) H-[(13) C] MRS at 14.1T

Bernard Lanz, Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Hongxia Lei, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Blanca Lizarbe Serra

PURPOSE: Determine the feasibility of (1) H-[(13) C] MRS in the mouse hypothalamus using a 14.1T magnet. METHODS: We optimized the design of a (1) H-[(13) C] surface coil to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio of (1) H-[(13) C] MRS in the mouse hypothalamus ...

Hierarchical status predicts behavioral vulnerability and nucleus accumbens metabolic profile following chronic social defeat stress

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Thomas Didier Larrieu, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues, Maria Aranzazu Duque Moreno

Extensive data highlight the existence of major differences in individuals’ susceptibility to stress [1; 2; 3 ; 4]. While genetic factors [5 ; 6] and exposure to early life stress [7 ; 8] are key components for such neurobehavioral diversity, intriguing ob ...
