Effect of acupuncture treatments on retinal transcriptome after optic nerve injury

ABSTRACT: Purpose: We used RNA sequencing to investigate the effect of acupuncture treatment on retinal transcritome after optic nerve injury Methods: Retinal mRNA profiles of 5-week-old wild-type (WT), optic nerve crush injury (ONC), ONC injury with acupuncture treatment at acupoint GB20 (ONC-F) and ONC injury with acupuncture treatment at acupoint BL1 (ONC-J) mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq platform. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed with DESeq2 R package to identify differently expressed genes with padj<0.05. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays Results: RNA-seq revealed that 436 genes including 31 transcription factors (TFs) were changed after injury, which include many well-known neural degeneration related TFs such as Jun, Ddit3, Atf3 and Atf4. Interestingly, acupuncture treatment at acupoint GB20 (Fengchi) or BL1(Jingming) after ONC injury both resulted in change of retinal gene expression, compared with ONC injury without treatment; furthermore, acupuncture treatment also reversed several gene expression status induced by axon injury. Conclusions: Our research first reported that acupuncture treatment after injury can regulated retinal transcriptome and reversed the gene expression level induced after injury, which will provide novel therapeutic targets for treatment of retinopathy diseases.

Amacrine cells suppress retinal ganglion cells survival and optic nerve regeneration bu releasing intersynaptic zinc

Project description:Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) convey the major output of information collected from the eye to the brain. RGCs are irreversibly lost when injured in degenerative diseases such as glaucoma; this failure can be partially reversed by eliminating the retinal mobile zinc (Zn2+) and leads to substantial axon regeneration. ZnT3 conditional knockout in retinal amacrine cells blocks the synaptic transport of Zn2+, which promotes RGC survival and axonal regeneration in optic nerve jinjury (ONC). Here, we conducted an mRNA sequencing of flow cytometry-isolated RGCs 3 days after optic nerve injury with or without ZnT3 expression in retinal amacrine cells.

RNA sequence reveals mouse retinal transcriptome changes early after axonal injury

Project description:Purpose: The purpose of this study was　to use RNA-seq to investigate the molecular mechanisms of damage in the early stages of the response to axonal injury, before the onset of RGC death. Methods: 12-week-old wild-type (WT) mice were used in this study. The experiment group underwent an optic nerve crush (ONC) procedure to induce axonal injury in the right eye, and the control group underwent a sham procedure. Retinal mRNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using IlluminaHiseq2000. The sequence reads were analyzed by CLC genomics workbench and R software. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan assays. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 66 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome (build mm9). Differential gene expression analysis showed that endoplasmic reticulum stress-related genes and antioxidative response-related genes have been shown to be significantly upregulated 2 days after ONC. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of retinal transcriptomes in the early stages after axonal injury. Our results indicated that ER stress plays a key role under these conditions. Furthermore, the antioxidative defense and immune responses occurred concurrently in the early stages after axonal injury. We believe that our study will lead to a better understanding of and insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying RGC death after axonal injury. Retinal mRNA profiles of 12 week-old wild type (WT) after ONC or sham were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq2000.

Displacement of PDE4D3 with an anchoring disruptor peptide is RGC protective after injury

Project description:Loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is central to the pathogenesis of optic neuropathies such as glaucoma. Increased cAMP signaling in RGCs is neuroprotective, as has been previously demonstrated in multiple animal models, including optic nerve crush (ONC) injury. We have shown that displacement of the cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase PDE4D3 from an RGC perinuclear compartment by expression of the modified PDE4D3 N-terminal peptide 4D3(E) increases perinuclear protein kinase A activity in cultured neurons and RGC survival in vivo after ONC injury. To explore potential mechanisms by which 4D3(E) expression promotes neuroprotection, mice intravitreally injected with an adeno-associated virus to express an mCherry-tagged 4D3(E) peptide were subjected to ONC injury and analyzed by single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) for changes in RGC gene expression. 4D3(E)-mCherry expression was associated with an attenuation of injury-induced changes in gene expression, thereby supporting the hypothesis that enhanced perinuclear PKA signaling promotes neuroprotective RGC gene expression.

Augmenting fibronectin levels in injured adult CNS promotes axon regeneration in vivo [bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:In an attempt to repair injured central nervous system (CNS) nerves/tracts, immune cells are recruited into the injury site, but endogenous response in adult mammals is insufficient for promoting regeneration of severed axons. Here, we found that a portion of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) CNS projection neurons that survive after optic nerve crush (ONC) injury are enriched for and upregulate fibronectin (Fn)-interacting integrins Itga5 and ItgaV, and that Fn promotes long-term survival and long-distance axon regeneration of a portion of axotomized adult RGCs in culture. We then show that, Fn is developmentally downregulated in the axonal tracts of optic nerve and spinal cord, but injury-activated macrophages/microglia upregulate Fn while axon regeneration-promoting zymosan augments their recruitment (and thereby increases Fn levels) in the injured optic nerve. Finally, we found that Fn’s RGD motif, established to interact with Itga5 and ItgaV, promotes long-term survival and long-distance axon regeneration of adult RGCs after ONC in vivo, with some axons reaching the optic chiasm when co-treated with Rpl7a gene therapy. Thus, experimentally augmenting Fn levels in the injured CNS is a promising approach for therapeutic neuroprotection and axon regeneration of at least a portion of neurons.

Effect of needling treatments on GB20 acupoint in EAE model mice

Project description:Purpose: We used RNA sequencing to investigate the effect of needling treatments on GB20 acupoint in EAE model mice Methods: Retinal mRNA profiles of 13-week-old female sham control mice (SHAM), EAE model mice with MOG injection (MOG), EAE model mice with needling treatment at acupoint GB20 (GB20) and its control acupoint GV16 (GV16) were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq platform. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed with DESeq2 R package to identify differently expressed genes with padj<0.05. Results: RNA-seq identified total 234 DEGs, with 100 genes upregulated and 134 genes downregulated, comparing MOG group with SHAM group.Further analysis revealed that, among the MOG injection induced 100 up-regulated DEGs, 24 DEGs were reversed and significantly down-regulated by GB20 treatment, while 14 were reversed and significantly down-regulated by GV16 treatment. However, 12 of the 14 reversed DEGs of GV16 treatment were already included in the 24 DEGs of GB20. The left 2 DEGs specific to GV16 treatment were Gfap (glial fibrillary acidic protein) and Fgf2 (fibroblast growth factor 2). As to the MOG injection induced 134 down-regulated DEGs, 12 DEGs were reversed and significantly up-regulated by GB20 treatment, while only 3 DEGs were reversed and significantly up-regulated by GV16 control treatment, and all the 3 DEGs were included in the 12 DEGs of GB20 treatment. Conclusions: Our research first reported that needling treatment on GB20 had regulation effects on retinal transcriptome of EAE model mice, indicating potential way of therapy for treatment of optic neuritis.

Single-cell profiles of retinal neurons differing in resilience to injury reveal neuroprotective genes - Atlas of adult mouse retinal ganglion cells [Smart-seq2]

Project description:Neuronal types in the central nervous system differ dramatically in their resilience to injury or insults. Here we studied selective resilience in mouse retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) following optic nerve crush (ONC), which severs their axons and leads to death of ~80% of RGCs in 2 weeks. To identify expression programs associated with differential resilience, we first used single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) to generate a comprehensive molecular atlas of 45 RGC types in adult retina. We tracked their survival after ONC, characterized transcriptomic, morphological, and physiological changes that preceded degeneration, and identified genes selectively expressed by each type. Finally, loss- and gain-of-function assays in vivo showed that manipulating some of these genes improved neuronal survival and axon regeneration following ONC. This study provides a systematic framework for parsing type-specific responses to injury, and demonstrates that these responses can be used to reveal molecular targets for intervention.
