A harmonized atlas of spinal cord cell types and their computational classification

ABSTRACT: Single cell sequencing is transforming many fields of science but the vast amount of data it creates has the potential to both illuminate and obscure underlying biology. To harness the exciting potential of single cell data for the study of the mouse spinal cord, we have created a harmonized atlas of spinal cord transcriptomic cell types that unifies six independent and disparate studies into one common analysis. With the power of this large and diverse dataset, we reveal spinal cord cell type organization, validate a combinatorial set of markers for in-tissue spatial gene expression analysis, and optimize the computational classification of spinal cord cell types based on transcriptomic data. This work provides a comprehensive resource with unprecedented resolution of spinal cord cell types and charts a path forward for how to utilize transcriptomic data to expand our knowledge of spinal cord biology.

Single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of spinal cord neuron in human

Project description:Despite the recognized importance of the spinal cord in sensory processing, motor behaviors, and/or neural diseases, the underlying organization of neuronal clusters remain elusive. Recently, several studies have attempted to define the neuronal types and functional heterogeneity in the spinal cord using single-cell and/or single-nucleus RNA-sequencing in various animal models. However, molecular evidence of neuronal heterogeneity in the human spinal cord has not yet been established. Here, we sought to classify spinal cord neurons from human donors using high-throughput single-nucleus RNA-sequencing. The functional heterogeneity among the identified cell types and signaling pathways that connect neuronal subtypes were explored. Moreover, we compared the transcriptional patterns obtained in human samples with previously published single-cell transcriptomic profiles of the mouse spinal cord. As a result, we generated the first comprehensive transcriptomic atlas of human spinal cord neurons and defined 18 neuronal clusters. In addition to identifying new and functionally distinct neuronal subtypes, our results also provide novel marker genes for previously described neuronal types. The comparison with mouse transcriptomic profiles revealed an overall similarity in the cellular composition of the spinal cord between the two species, while simultaneously highlighting some degree of heterogeneity. In summary, these results illustrate the complexity and diversity of neuronal types in the human spinal cord and provide an important resource for future research to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying spinal cord physiology and diseases.

Single-cell transcription mapping of neural subtype development in human spinal cord

Project description:The spinal cord possesses precise neural circuitry to transmit messages between the brain and body. Detailed transcriptomic profiling of the developing human spinal cord has not been reported. Here, we performed single cell RNA sequencing of developing human spinal cord cells and compared these data with similar mouse spinal cord RNA sequencing datasets. The differentiation tendency of proliferative neural progenitor cells changed from neuronal to glial cells at gestational week (GW) 8 and we identified a diverse set of excitatory, inhibitory and motor neuron cell types. Human ventral neuronal differentiation occurred earlier than GW7, while DI4/5 interneurons are born between GW7–11. We identified glial cell molecular diversity and revealed that ependymal cell specification occurs before birth. We also demonstrate differences between human and mouse spinal cord, including unique cell subtypes, gene expression, neurotransmitter receptors, and glial differentiation timing. Our results offer insight into human spinal cord development.

Location of Neonatal Microglia Drives Small Extracellular Vesicles Content and Biological Functions

Project description:Combining proteomics and systems biology analyses, we demonstrated that neonatal microglial cells derived from two different CNS locations (cortex and spinal cord) displayed different phenotypes upon different physiological or pathological conditions. These cells also exhibited great variability in terms of both cellular and small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) protein contents and levels. Bioinformatics data analysis showed that the cortical microglia had anti-inflammatory and neurogenesis/tumorigenesis properties, while the spinal cord microglia was rather involved in inflammatory response process. Of interest, while both sEVs microglia sources enhanced growth of DRGs axons, only the spinal cord-derived sEVs microglia under LPS stimulation significantly attenuated glioma proliferation. These results were confirmed through neurite outgrowth assays in DRGs cell line and glioma proliferation analysis in 3D spheroid cultures. Results from these in vitro assays indicated that the microglia localized at different CNS regions can ensure different biological functions. Together, these works indicate that neonatal microglia locations regulate their physiological and pathological functional fates, and could explain the high prevalence of brain vs. spinal cord glioma in adults.

Human expression data from iPSCs, motor neurons derived from iPSCs and ESCs, and fetal spinal cords

Project description:We compare transcriptomic profiles of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), motor neurons (MNs) in vitro differentiated from iPSCs or human ESCs containing a HB9::GFP reporter for MNs, and human fetal spinal cords. The purpose of this comparison is to assess the extent of molecular similarities between in vitro differentiated MNs and in vivo fetal or adult spinal cord MNs. Data for adult spinal cord MNs are published from other studies: GSE3526, GSE19332, GSE20589, and GSE40438. Human induced pluripotent stem cells, pluripotent stem cell derived motor neurons, and fetal spinal cords for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix arrays.

Regulation of stem cell identity by miR-200a during spinal cord regeneration

Project description:Salamanders have the remarkable ability to functionally regenerate after spinal cord transection. In response to injury, GFAP+ glial cells in the axolotl spinal cord proliferate and migrate to replace the missing neural tube and create a permissive environment for axon regeneration. In this paper we show that miR-200a acts to repress expression of Brachyury in sox2 positive progenitor cells in the axoltol spinal cord after spinal cord injury but after tail amputation when multiple tissue types must be regenerated then mir-200a is downregualted allowing progenitor cells in the spinal cord to naturally become bipotent progenitors which can give rise to muscle and neural cell types. When miR-200a is inhibited after spinal cord injury then these cells also express BRachyury cna can form muscle.

Integrated systems analysis reveals conserved gene networks underlying response to spinal cord injury

Project description:Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating neurological condition for which there are currently no effective treatment options to restore function. A major obstacle to the development of new therapies is our fragmentary understanding of the coordinated pathophysiological processeses triggered by damage to the human spinal cord. An additional challenge to translation of preclinical therapies is the reliance of clinical trials on standardized neurological assessments to enrol and stratify patients, rather than objective injury biomarkers. Here, we describe a systems biology approach to integrate decades of small-scale experiments with unbiased, genome-wide gene expression from the human spinal cord, revealing a gene regulatory network signature of the pathophysiological response to SCI. Our integrative analyses converge on an evolutionarily conserved gene subnetwork enriched for genes associated with the response to SCI by small-scale experiments, and whose expression is upregulated in a severity-dependent manner following injury and downregulated in functional recovery. We validate the severity-dependent upregulation of this subnetwork in prospective transcriptomic and proteomic studies. Our analysis provides a systems-level view of the coordinated molecular processes activated in response to SCI. Further, our results nominate quantitative biomarkers of injury severity and functional recovery, with the potential to facilitate development and translation of novel therapies.

Spatiotemporal multi-omics decoding of the developing human spinal cord II

Project description:The human spinal cord contains diverse cell types, governed by a series of spatiotemporal events for tissue assembly and functions. However, the regulation of cell fate specification in the human developing spinal cord remains largely unknown. By performing single-cell and spatial multi-omics methods, we integrated the datasets and created a comprehensive human developmental atlas of the first trimester spinal cord. Unexpectedly, we discovered unique events in human spinal cord development, including early loss of active neural stem cells, simultaneous occurrence of neurogenesis and gliogenesis, and distinct spatiotemporal genetic regulations of fate choices. We also identified distinct regulations of cancer stem cells in ependymomas from our atlas. Thus, we demonstrate spatiotemporal genetic regulation of human spinal cord development and its potential to understand novel disease mechanisms.
