The regeneration transcriptome of corticospinal neurons

ABSTRACT: In the present study, we identify transcriptional mechanisms associated with corticospinal regeneration. We took advantage of the ability of NPC grafts to support corticospinal regeneration, together with a genetic mouse model (Glt25d2-GFP-L10a mice, in which a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) codes for GFP-tagged polyribosomes in layer 5b cortical neurons) to selectively enrich actively translated mRNA pools from layer Vb cortical projection neurons containing corticospinal neurons (Doyle et al., Cell 2008).

Fezf2 overexpression in murine cortical progenitors in vivo

Fezf2 overexpression in murine cortical progenitors in vivo

Project description:Corticospinal motor neurons (CSMN) are one specialized class of cortical excitatory neurons, which connect layer Vb of the cortex to the spinal cord. a master transcription factor –Forebrain expressed zinc finger 2 (Fezf2) – has been identified that is necessary for the fate specification of CSMN. Fezf2 alone can cell-autonomously instruct the acquisition of CSMN-specific features when expressed in diverse, permissive cellular contexts, in vivo. In order to understand the molecular logic underlying the acquisition of CSMN traits upon Fezf2 expression, we compared the in vivo gene expression of FACS-purified cortical progenitors that ectopically expressed Fezf2 to control progenitors. We used in utero electroporation to deliver Fezf2GFP or CtrlGFP expression vectors to neocortical progenitors at E14.5, when they primarily generate CPN of the upper layers. Overexpression of Fezf2 in these progenitors is sufficient to instruct a fate-switch resulting in the generation of CSMN and other subtypes of corticofugal projection neurons. Fezf2GFP- and CtrlGFP -electroporated progenitors were FACS-purified at 24 and 48 hours after surgery and acutely profiled by microarrays.

Activation of MAP2K signaling by genetic engineering or HF-rTMS promotes corticospinal axon sprouting and functional regeneration

Project description:B-RAF activation in mature corticospinal neurons upregulated a discrete set of transcription factors overlapping with a set induced early in axotomized zebrafish retina ganglion cells which can fully regenerate their axons. Conditional genetic activation of B-RAF promoted robust regeneration and sprouting of corticospinal tract axons after experimental spinal cord injury. Newly sprouting axon collaterals formed synaptic connections, correlating with recovery of skilled motor function. We also found that non-invasive suprathreshold high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation activates the RAF effector MEK and promotes regeneration and sprouting of corticospinal tract axons, dependent on MEK signaling. Our findings demonstrate a central role of neuron-intrinsic RAF–MEK signaling in enhancing the growth capacity of mature corticospinal neurons and propose transcranial magnetic stimulation as a potential therapy for spinal cord injury.

Identification of molecular controls over corticospinal motor neuron segmental target specificity

Project description:Molecular mechanisms over differentiation and differential axonal targeting of distinct neuron subtypes in the cerebral cortex are beginning to be elucidated. These studies have focused on controls that specifically distinguish one subtype of neocortical projection neurons, e.g. corticospinal motor neurons (CSMN), from closely related corticothalamic projection neurons (CThPN) or intracortical callosal projection neurons (CPN). CSMN are located in layer V of the neocortex and make synaptic connections to motor output circuitry in the spinal cord and brainstem. CSMN axons form the corticospinal tract (CST), which is the major motor output pathway from the motor cortex and critically controls voluntary movement. CSMN somatotopically and precisely target specific segments along the rostrocaudal axis of the spinal cord, the molecular basis for which remains unknown. We used microarrays to examine gene expression differences between two CSMN subpopulations that target different levels of the spinal cord - CSMN-C (which extend axons to the brainstem and cervical spinal cord) and CSMN-L (which preferrrentially extend axons to the thoracic and lumbar spinal cord). We compared CSMN-C vs CSMN-L gene expression at 3 critical developmental time points (previously described in Arlotta et a., 2005)

L1CAM is a marker for isolating corticospinal motor neurons in the developing brain

Project description:The cerebral cortical tissue of murine embryo and pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons can survive in adult brain and extend axons to the spinal cord. These features suggest that cell transplantation can be a strategy to reconstruct the corticospinal tract (CST). It is unknown, however, which cell population makes for safe and effective donor cells. To address this issue, we grafted the cerebral cortex of E14.5 mouse to the brain of adult mouse and found that the cells in the graft extending axons along the CST expressed CTIP2. By using CTIP2:GFP knockin mouse embryonic stem cells, we identified L1CAM as a cell surface marker to enrich CTIP2+ cells. We sorted L1CAM+ cells from E14.5 mouse brain and confirmed that they extended a larger number of axons along the CST compared to L1CAM- cells. Our results suggest that sorting L1CAM+ cells from the embryonic cerebral cortex enriches subcortical projection neurons to reconstruct the CST.

Expression changes in the prefrontal cortex after neurotransmission blocking of nucleus accumbens pathways

Project description:GSEA using both edgeR and voom statistics revealed that the ES of two types of corticothalamic neurons, CTX.Glt25d2-positive layer 5b and CTX.Ntsr1-positive layer 6 neurons, were downregulated by both NAc D1- and D2-RNB. In contrast, the ES of CTX.S100a10 corticostriatal neurons were upregulated and downregulated by NAc D1- and D2-RNB, respectively. These data show that cortical neurons are asymmetrically regulated by subcortical pathways in the mPFC-NAc-VP/SNr-MD/VD-mPFC circuit.

Co-regulated gene expression downstream of a single transcription factor controls the acquisition of corticospinal motor neuron identity

Project description:The neocortex contains an unparalleled diversity of neuronal subtypes responsible for complex behavior. Each cortical neuron has distinct traits, which are developmentally acquired under the control of batteries of neuron subtype-specific and pan-neuronal genes. The cis-regulatory logic that orchestrates the coordinated regulation of each unique combination of genes is not known for any class of neurons of the neocortex. We report that Fezf2, a transcription factor able to induce defining features of corticospinal motor neurons (CSMN), associates with the proximal promoters and regulates expression of series of CSMN signature genes. Fezf2 targets are functionally relevant as demonstrated by the finding that Fezf2 governs expression of the axon guidance receptor EphB1 to execute the ipsilateral extension of the corticospinal tract. Our data indicate that co-regulated expression of neuron subtype-specific gene batteries by a common transcription factor is one component of the regulatory logic responsible for the establishment of CSMN identity.

Distal axotomy enhances retrograde presynaptic excitability onto injured pyramidal neurons via trans-synaptic signaling

Project description:Injury of descending motor tracts remodels cortical circuitry and leads to enhanced neuronal excitability, thus influencing recovery following injury. The neuron-specific contributions remain unclear due to the complex cellular composition and connectivity of the CNS. We developed a microfluidics-based in vitro model system to examine intrinsic synaptic remodeling following axon damage. We found that distal axotomy of cultured rat pyramidal neurons caused dendritic spine loss at synapses onto the injured neurons followed by a persistent retrograde enhancement in presynaptic excitability over days. These in vitro results mirrored hyper-activity of directly injured corticospinal neurons in hindlimb motor cortex layer Vb following spinal cord contusion. In vitro axotomy-induced hyper-excitability coincided with elimination of inhibitory presynaptic terminals, including those formed onto dendritic spines. We identified netrin-1 as downregulated following axotomy and exogenous netrin-1 applied 2 days after injury normalized spine density, presynaptic excitability, and the fraction of inhibitory inputs onto injured neurons. These findings demonstrate a novel model system for studying the response of pyramidal circuitry to axotomy and provide new insights of neuron-specific mechanisms that contribute to synaptic remodeling.
