Project description:To explored the function of miRNAs during the axon regeneration of rat dorsal root ganglia neurons, we utilized miRCURYTM LNA Array (v.18.0) to find out the altered expression of miRNAs in cultured DRG neurons at different times. When we digest the cells from rat DRGs with enzymes, we only get the cell bodies without axons. During the axons re-growth after the neurons planted, it must be amount of gene and miRNAs will changed. However, we still not fully understand which miRNAs and mRNA will changed and the function of these miRNAs and mRNAs. In addition, this cell model could mimic the regeration of sciatic nerve after injure in vivo, which is still a challenge in clinical.

Project description:We have conducted quantitative proteomic analyses of the axons of cultured rat cortical neurons. Axons are isolated by using glass chips that enable the axons and their cell bodies of neurons to grow in separated regions on the chip surface. Proteins extracted from the isolated axons, as well as those extracted from whole cortical neurons are subjected to two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC)-mass spectrometry (MS)-MS analyses. The abundances of proteins in the axon are found to be strongly correlated with their average abundances in whole neurons. Based upon these data, a quantitative description of the protein distribution among various subcellular structures in the axon has been generated. The proteins extracted from the axons and whole neurons are also subjected to stable isotope dimethyl labeling reaction and then to 2D-LC-MS/MS analysis. Proteins enriched in the axon compartment of rat cortical neurons are thus identified.

Project description:The subcellular localization of specific mRNAs is an evolutionary conserved mechanism that underlies the establishment of cellular polarity and specialized cell functions. In neurons, mRNA trafficking and local protein translation in dendrites provides an important mechanism that mediates synaptic development and plasticity. The significance of mRNA targeting and protein synthesis in axons, however, is still unclear. Only a small number of transcripts have been identified in axons to date, and their contribution to axon growth and neuronal survival remains largely unknown. Here, we report the results of a novel screen that allowed the separate identification of mRNAs localized in cell bodies and in axons of developing neurons. Using compartmentalized cultures of sympathetic neurons and Sequential Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE), the screen identified more than 200 axonal mRNAs, including ones that encode cytoskeletal proteins and proteins that function in neural development and signal transduction. Importantly, several classes of transcripts were selectively enriched in axons, indicating that an active process drives the targeting of specific mRNAs from the cell bodies to the axons. This study is the first comprehensive and unbiased analysis of mRNA localization in subcellular domains of any neuronal cell type. We used compartmentalized chambers to culture neonatal rat sympathetic neurons (Campenot, 1977). In these cultures, the cell bodies are separated from the distal axons by a 1 mm wide Teflon divider, which maintains the cell bodies and axon terminals in separate fluid compartments. Primary rat sympathetic neurons are especially suitable for compartmentalized culture because they can be grown as a highly homogeneous population without glial cells. Neurons were seeded in the central compartment with nerve growth factor (NGF), and after a few days, the NGF was lowered in this compartment and supplied only to the peripheral compartment to stimulate axon growth. The anti-mitotic agent cytosine arabinoside C (Ara-C) was added to both compartments to remove non-neuronal cells. mRNA was then isolated after 12 days in culture (DIV) from cell body or axon compartments. As the initial mRNA content in axons was not sufficient to perform the SAGE analysis, both axon and cell body mRNAs were subjected to two rounds of linear amplification to obtain antisense RNA (aRNA). The amplified aRNA was then reverse transcribed and second strand synthesis was performed to proceed with the SAGE assay using the LongSAGE kit (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

Project description:The identification of axonal mRNAs in model organisms has led to the discovery of many axonally translated proteins required for axon guidance and injury response. The extent to which these axonal mRNAs are conserved in humans is unknown. Here we report on the axonal transcriptome of glutamatergic neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESC-neurons) grown in axon isolating microfluidic chambers. We identified mRNAs enriched in axons, representing a functionally unique local transcriptome as compared to the whole neuron transcriptome. Further, we found that the enriched functional categories within high confidence axonal transcripts resemble those in the axonal transcriptome of rat cortical neurons. Comparing our list of human axonal transcripts to similar datasets generated from embryonic and adult rat dorsal root ganglia and rat cortical neurons we found 60 mRNAs common to all four neuron types. We found that over half of these genes are associated with neurological phenotypes or diseases in model organisms and human. This data provides an important resource for studying local mRNA translation in human axons and has the potential to reveal both conserved and unique axonal mechanisms across species and neuronal types. We analyzed the axonal and whole hESC-neuron transcriptome in triplicate using the Affymetrix Human Gene 2.0 ST Array platform.

Project description:Local protein synthesis in sensory neuron axons is necessary for axonal regeneration with the efficiency of regeneration decreasing with age. Because the full repertoire of transcripts in embryonic and adult rat sensory axons is unknown we asked how the pool of mRNAs dynamically changes during ageing. We isolated mRNA from pure axons and growth cones devoid of non-neuronal or cell body contamination. Genome-wide microarray analysis reveals that a previously unappreciated number of transcripts are localised in sensory axons and that this repertoire changes during development toward adulthood. Embryonic sensory axons are enriched in transcripts encoding cytoskeletal-related proteins with a role in axonal outgrowth. Surprisingly, adult axons are highly enriched in mRNAs encoding immune molecules with a role in nociception. To validate our experimental approach we show that Tubulin-beta3 mRNA is present only in embryonic axons where it is locally synthesised. In summary, we show that the population of axonal mRNAs dynamically changes during development, which may partly contribute to the intrinsic capacity of axons at different ages to regenerate after injury and to modulate pain. Pure axonal RNA were extracted from the axons of embryonic and adult dorsal root ganglion neurons, each with 5 biological replicates. The axonal transcriptomes were analysed using Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Arrays.

Project description:Adult zebrafish regenerate about half of cerebrospinal axons by six weeks after a complete spinal cord transection. We isolated the two populations of neurons that successfully regenerated their axons versus those that did not and isolated the total RNA. Cerebrospinal neurons from unlesioned animals were also collected to serve as controls. Whole transcriptome microarray was performed to determine axonal regeneration-associated genes. For each condition (regenerated, non-regenerated and control neurons) we had 3 biological replicates that consisted of neurons pooled from 3 to 9 zebrafish. A complete spinal cord transection with Fluororuby retrograde tracing was performed at the 8th vertebra level in adult zebrafish. Fluororuby labeled all the neurons in the brain that project their axons to the 8th vertebra. Three weeks later Fluoroemerald was injected 4mm distally from the spinal cord transection site, thereby labeling all neurons that regenerated their axons to this level. The zebrafish were sacrificed 1 week after Fluoroemerald tracing, brain enzymatically dissociated and cells sorted using fluorescence-activated cell sorter. After sorting the total RNA was extracted, amplified and labeled with biotin and then hybridized to Affymetrix 3' IVT gene expression microarray. Unlesioned fish were traced with Fluororuby at the 8th vertebra level and labeled neurons isolated 1 week after to serve as control for gene expression microarray.

Project description:We report that local application of Abeta(1-42) for 24h triggers changes in the localized transcriptome, while the transcriptome in cell bodies remains largely unchanged. Axonal and somatic mRNA profiles of rat embryonic hippocampal neurons grown in microfluidic chambers were generated by RNA-Seq in duplicates using an Illumina MiSeq. Axons only were treated for 24 h with soluble oligomeric Abeta(1-42) or vehicle control.

Project description:The development of meter-long axons within the nervous system is a remarkable, yet unresolved biological process. The most widely studied aspects of neuronal growth focus on the extension and chemotropism of growth cones. However, over the course of organismal development, short axons elongate up to one meter in length with the systemic expansion of mitotic tissues. The preeminent regulatory mechanism for such synchronized growth between the nervous system and the tissues it spans, is the biomechanical stretch of axons, a known stimulus of axon growth. Here, we reveal the transcriptional profile of stretch-mediated axon growth as found using embryonic rat dorsal root ganglia neurons stretch-grown in vitro.
