However, the mechanisms underlying this experimental and clinical observation and broadly exploited therapeutic tool are still widely obscure. Here we show in the behaving brain that physiological (endogenous) hypoxia is likely a respective lead mechanism, regulating hippocampal plasticity via adaptive gene expression. A refined transgenic approach in mice, utilizing the oxygen-dependent degradation (ODD) domain of HIF-1α fused to CreERT2 recombinase, allows us to demonstrate hypoxic cells in the performing brain under normoxia and motor-cognitive challenge, and spatially map them by light-sheet microscopy, all in comparison to inspiratory hypoxia as strong positive control. We report that a complex motor-cognitive challenge causes hypoxia across essentially all brain areas, with hypoxic neurons particularly abundant in the hippocampus. These data suggest an intriguing model of neuroplasticity, in which a specific task-associated neuronal activity triggers mild hypoxia as a local neuron-specific as well as a brain-wide response, comprising indirectly activated neurons and non-neuronal cells."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/s41380-020-00988-w"],["dc.identifier.pmid","33564132"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/82678"],["dc.identifier.url","https://rdp.sfb274.de/literature/publications/31"],["dc.identifier.url","https://sfb1286.uni-goettingen.de/literature/publications/104"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-399"],["dc.relation","TRR 274: Checkpoints of Central Nervous System Recovery"],["dc.relation","TRR 274 | C01: Oligodendroglial NMDA receptors and NMDAR1 autoantibodies as determinants of axonal integrity in neuropsychiatric disease"],["dc.relation","SFB 1286: Quantitative Synaptologie"],["dc.relation","SFB 1286 | Z02: Integrative Datenanalyse und -interpretation.

Recognized causes amount to 20–50% viral infections. Approximately one third of affected subjects develops moderate and severe subsequent damage. Several neurotropic viruses can directly infect pyramidal neurons and induce neuronal death in cortex and hippocampus. The resulting encephalitic syndromes are frequently associated with cognitive deterioration and dementia, but involve numerous parallel and downstream cellular and molecular events that make the interpretation of direct consequences of sudden pyramidal neuronal loss difficult. This, however, would be pivotal for understanding how neuroinflammatory processes initiate the development of neurodegeneration, and thus for targeted prophylactic and therapeutic interventions. Here we utilized adult male NexCreERT2xRosa26-eGFP-DTA (= ‘DTA’) mice for the induction of a sterile encephalitis by diphtheria toxin-mediated ablation of cortical and hippocampal pyramidal neurons which also recruits immune cells into gray matter. We report multifaceted aftereffects of this defined process, including the expected pathology of classical hippocampal behaviors, evaluated in Morris water maze, but also of (pre)frontal circuit function, assessed by prepulse inhibition. Importantly, we modelled in encephalitis mice novel translationally relevant sequelae, namely altered social interaction/cognition, accompanied by compromised thermoreaction to social stimuli as convenient readout of parallel autonomic nervous system (dys)function. High resolution magnetic resonance imaging disclosed distinct abnormalities in brain dimensions, including cortical and hippocampal layering, as well as of cerebral blood flow and volume. Fluorescent tracer injection, immunohistochemistry and brain flow cytometry revealed persistent blood–brain-barrier perturbance and chronic brain inflammation. Surprisingly, blood flow cytometry showed no abnormalities in circulating major immune cell subsets and plasma high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) as proinflammatory marker remained unchanged. The present experimental work, analyzing multidimensional outcomes of direct pyramidal neuronal loss, will open new avenues for urgently needed encephalitis research."],["dc.identifier.citation","Acta Neuropathologica Communications. 2021 Jul 02;9(1):121"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/s40478-021-01214-6"],["dc.identifier.pii","1214"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/93550"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/112989"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-448"],["dc.publisher","BioMed Central"],["dc.relation.eissn","2051-5960"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.holder","The Author(s)"],["dc.subject","Diphtheria toxin"],["dc.subject","Hippocampal learning and memory"],["dc.subject","(pre)frontal network dysfunction"],["dc.subject","Social cognition"],["dc.subject","Thermography"],["dc.subject","Magnetic resonance imaging"],["dc.title","Inducing sterile pyramidal neuronal death in mice to model distinct aspects of gray matter encephalitis"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
