Developmental and Injury-induced Changes in DNA Methylation in Regenerative versus Non-regenerative Regions of the Vertebrate (Xenopus laevis) Central Nervous System Characterized by Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS)

ABSTRACT: Xenopus is uniquely suited for identifying core features of successful CNS axon regeneration, because parts of its CNS (e.g., eye), regenerate axons throughout life, whereas others (e.g., hindbrain) do so only as tadpoles. We performed bisulfite whole genome bisulfite methylation sequencing (WGBS) on juvenile frog eye after optic nerve injury, and on hindbrain samples from tadpole and juvenile frog after spinal cord injury during the peak phase of axon regeneration, to compare tissue-related and injury-induced differences in DNA methylation among them.

Developmental and Injury-induced Changes in DNA Methylation in Regenerative versus Non-regenerative Regions of the Vertebrate (Xenopus laevis) Central Nervous System assayed by 5hmC MeDIP and by ChIP-seq for Histone Markers

Project description:Xenopus is uniquely suited for identifying core features of successful CNS axon regeneration, because parts of its CNS (e.g., eye), regenerate axons throughout life, whereas others (e.g., hindbrain) do so only as tadpoles. To aid in the interpretation of bisulfite whole genome methylation sequencing (WGBS) on juvenile frog eye after optic nerve injury, and on hindbrain samples from tadpole and juvenile frog after spinal cord injury during the peak phase of axon regeneration, we performed ChIP-seq for histone modifications associated with active gene expression (H3K4me3 & H3K27ac) and repressed gene expression (H3K27me3 & H3K9me3) on these same tissues, as well as DNA-immunoprecipitation sequencing (DIP seq) for 5-hydroxymethyl cytosine (5hmC) on eye samples during optic nerve regeneration.

Comparative Gene Expression Profiling between Xenopus Optic Nerve and Spinal Cord Injury to Identify Genes Involved in Successful Regeneration of Vertebrate CNS Axons

Project description:Xenopus is uniquely suited for addressing the question of whether a core gene expression program for successful CNS axon regeneration exists, because parts of its CNS (e.g., eye), regenerate axons throughout life, whereas others (e.g., hindbrain) do so only as tadpoles. We performed RNA-Seq after optic nerve and spinal cord injury to identify trauma-induced genes shared between two regenerative CNS regions, but not shared with a non-regenerative one. We provide these data as a resource for new avenues of investigation into the molecular basis of tissue regeneration.

Histone methyltransferase Ezh2 coordinates mammalian axon regeneration via regulation of key regenerative pathways (RRBS)

Project description:Current treatments for neurodegenerative diseases and neural injuries fall short of success. One primary reason is that neurons in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) lose their regeneration ability as they mature. Here, we investigated the role of Ezh2, a histone methyltransferase, in regulation of mammalian axon regeneration. We found that Ezh2 declined in the mouse nervous system during maturation but was upregulated in adult dorsal root ganglion neurons to support spontaneous axon regeneration following peripheral nerve injury. In addition, overexpression of Ezh2 in retinal ganglion cells in the CNS promoted optic nerve regeneration via both histone methylation-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Further investigation revealed that Ezh2 supported axon regeneration by systematically silencing the transcription of genes regulating synaptic function and inhibiting axon regeneration, while simultaneously activating various axon regeneration promoting factors. In particular, our study demonstrated that the GABA transporter 2 encoded by the gene Slc6a13 acted downstream of Ezh2 to control axon regeneration. Our study suggested that modulating chromatin accessibility was a promising strategy to promote CNS axon regeneration.

Coordinated stimulation of axon regenerative and neurodegenerative transcriptional programs by Atf4 following optic nerve injury

Project description:To understand the contributions of the Integrated Stress Response (ISR) to the axon regenerative and neurodegenerative transcriptional programs activated by axon injury in the CNS, we evaluated by RNA-seq the retinal transcriptomes of conditional knockout mouse lines for components of the ISR three days after optic nerve crush injury. Prior to injury, intravitreal injection of AAV2-mTagBFP2-ires-Cre under the control of the human synapsin-1 promoter facilitated neuron-specific knockout of Eif2ak3, the gene that encodes the ER stress-responsive kinase Perk; Atf4, the gene that encodes the ISR mediator Activating transcription factor-4; or Ddit3, the gene that encodes another transcription factor that can mediate the ISR, C/ebp homologous protein, or CHOP. We compared the expression profiles of these transgenic retinas after injury to retinas from wildtype mice with and without injury to identify transcripts whose regulation by axon injury is dependent on ISR signaling.

Proteomic characteristics in degenerated and regenerative mouse retina

Project description:The retina constitutes a segment of the central nervous system (CNS). Both retinal and CNS neurons lack the inherent capacity to spontaneously regenerate axons following injury. Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) serve as the neurons connecting the eyes to the brain. Diseases such as glaucoma initiate damage to RGC axons at the optic nerve, ultimately leading to cell death and irreversible vision loss. While enhancing the survival of RGCs is a crucial initial step, especially for those with pre-existing axonal injuries in the optic nerve due to prolonged insults, effective therapies should also promote axon regeneration. Neuro-regeneration and reintegration into the brain remain to be enormous challenges in neurology and ophthalmology. Despite decades of effort and resources invested in the research of neuro-regeneration, scientists are still rather far from comprehensively identifying all intrinsic axonal growth regulators and their collaborative roles. Data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA-MS) is a next-generation proteomic methodology that generates permanent digital proteome maps offering highly reproducible retrospective analysis of cellular and tissue specimens. Compared to conventional mass-spectrometry, DIA-MS provides better reproducibility and sensitivity. In this study, we employed DIA-MS to conduct a comprehensive protein expression mapping in retinas from mouse models of degeneration and regeneration, and to gain insights into the complex molecular mechanisms associated with degeneration and regeneration processes in the retina.

A novel, alternatively activated neutrophil subset promotes CNS neuron survival and axon regeneration in vivo

Project description:Transected axons typically fail to regenerate in the central nervous system, resulting in chronic neurological disability in individuals with traumatic brain or spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and stroke, as well as glaucoma and ischemic reperfusion injury of the eye. Although neuroinflammation is often depicted as detrimental, there is growing evidence that alternatively activated, reparative leukocyte subsets and their products can be deployed to improve neurological outcomes. In the current study we identify a unique granulocyte subset, with characteristics of an immature neutrophil, that has neuroprotective properties and drives CNS axon regeneration in vivo, in part via secretion of a cocktail of growth factors. This pro-regenerative neutrophil promotes repair in the optic nerve and spinal cord, demonstrating its relevance across CNS compartments and neuronal populations. Our findings could ultimately lead to the development of novel immunotherapies that reverse CNS damage and restore lost neurological function across a spectrum of diseases.

Nfe2l3 promotes neuroprotection and long-distance axon regeneration after injury in vivo [Third party: scRNA-seq]

Project description:Nuclear factor erythroid 2 like (Nfe2l) gene family members 1-3 mediate cellular response to oxidative stress, including in the central nervous system (CNS). However, neuronal functions of Nfe2l3 are unknown. Here, we comparatively evaluated expression of Nfe2l1, Nfe2l2, and Nfe2l3 in singe cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq)-profiled cortical and retinal ganglion cell (RGC) CNS projection neurons, investigated whether Nfe2l3 regulates neuroprotection and axon regeneration after CNS injury in vivo, and characterized a gene network associated with Nfe2l3 in neurons. We showed that, Nfe2l3 expression transiently peaks in developing immature cortical and RGC projection neurons, but is nearly abolished in adult neurons and is not upregulated after injury. Furthermore, within the retina, Nfe2l3 is enriched in RGCs, whereas Nfe2l1 and Nfe2l2 are expressed robustly in other retinal cell types as well, and are also upregulated after injury. We also found that, expressing Nfe2l3 in injured RGCs through localized intralocular viral vector delivery promotes neuroprotection and long-distance axon regeneration after optic nerve injury in vivo. Moreover, Nfe2l3 treatment provided a similar extent of neuroprotection and axon regeneration as viral vector-targeting of Pten and Klf9, which are prominent regulators of neuroprotection and long-distance axon regeneration. Finally, we bioinformatically characterized a gene network associated with Nfe2l3 in neurons, which revealed the association of Nfe2l3 with established mechanisms of neuroprotection and axon regeneration. Thus, Nfe2l3 is a novel neuroprotection and axon regeneration-promoting factor with a therapeutic potential for treating CNS injury and disease.
