Myostatin is a negative regulator of adult neurogenesis in zebrafish

ABSTRACT: Intrinsic and extrinsic inhibition of axonal and neuronal regeneration obstruct spinal cord (SC) repair in mammals. In contrast, adult zebrafish achieve functional recovery after SC damage. While studies of innate SC regeneration have focused on axon regrowth as a primary repair mechanism, how local neurogenesis impacts functional recovery is unknown. We uncovered dynamic expression of myostatin b (mstnb) in a niche of dorsal ependymal progenitors after complete SC transection in zebrafish. Genetic loss-of-function in mstnb impaired functional recovery, although glial and axonal bridging across the lesion were unaffected. Using a series of transgenic reporter lines, we quantified the numbers of stem, progenitor, and neuronal cells in the absence of mstnb. We found neural stem cell proliferation was reduced, while newborn neurons were increased in mstnb null tissues, suggesting mstnb is a negative regulator of neurogenesis. Molecularly, neuron differentiation genes were upregulated, while the neural stem cell maintenance gene fgf1b was downregulated in mstnb mutants. Finally, we show that human FGF1 treatment rescued neuronal gene expression in mstnb mutants. These studies uncover unanticipated neurogenic functions for mstnb in adult zebrafish, and establish the importance of local neurogenesis for functional SC repair.

Single-cell analysis of innate spinal cord regeneration identifies intersecting modes of neuronal repair

Project description:Adult zebrafish have an innate ability to recover from severe spinal cord injury. Here, we report a comprehensive single nuclear RNA sequencing atlas that spans 6 weeks of regeneration. We identify cooperative roles for adult neurogenesis and neuronal plasticity during spinal cord repair. Neurogenesis of glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons restores the excitatory/inhibitory balance after injury. In addition, a transient population of injury-responsive neurons (iNeurons) show elevated plasticity between 1 and 3 weeks post-injury. We found iNeurons are injury-surviving neurons that acquire a neuroblast-like gene expression signature after injury. CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis showed iNeurons are required for functional recovery and employ vesicular trafficking as an essential mechanism that underlies neuronal plasticity. This study provides a comprehensive resource of the cells and mechanisms that direct spinal cord regeneration and establishes zebrafish as a model of plasticity-driven neural repair.

Mouse sciatic nerve LC-MSMS - Delaying histone deacetylase response to injury accelerates conversion into repair Schwann cells and nerve regeneration

Project description:The peripheral nervous system (PNS) regenerates after injury. However regeneration is often compromised in case of large lesions, the speed of axon reconnection to their target being critical for successful functional recovery. After injury, mature Schwann cells (SCs) convert into repair cells that foster axonal regrowth, and redifferentiate to rebuild myelin. These processes require the regulation of several transcription factors, but the driving mechanisms remain partially understood. Here, we identify an early response to injury controlled by histone deacetylase (HDAC)2, which coordinates the action of other chromatin-remodeling enzymes to induce the upregulation of Oct6, a key transcription factor for Schwann cell development. Inactivating this mechanism using mouse genetics allows earlier conversion into repair cells and leads to faster axonal regrowth, but impairs remyelination. Consistently, short-term HDAC1/2 inhibitor treatment early after lesion accelerates functional recovery and enhances regeneration, thereby identifying a new therapeutic strategy to improve PNS regeneration after lesion.

Reactive oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (re-)myelinate the regenerating zebrafish spinal cord [transcriptome]

Project description:Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in loss of neurons, oligodendrocytes and myelin sheaths, all of which are not efficiently restored. The scarcity of oligodendrocytes in the lesion site impairs remyelination of spared fibres, which leaves axons denuded, impedes signal transduction and contributes to permanent functional deficits. In contrast to mammals, zebrafish can functionally regenerate the spinal cord. Yet, little is known about oligodendroglial lineage biology and remyelination capacity after SCI in a regeneration-permissive context. Here, we report that in adult zebrafish, SCI results in axonal, oligodendrocyte and myelin sheath loss. We find that OPCs, the oligodendorocyte progenitor cells, survive the injury, enter a reactive state, proliferate and differentiate into oligodendrocytes. Concomitantly, the oligodendrocyte population is re-established to pre-injury levels within two weeks.Transcriptional profiling revealed that reactive OPCs upregulate the expression of several myelination-related genes. Interestingly, global reduction of axonal tracts and partial re-myelination, relative to pre-injury levels, persist at later stages of regeneration, yet suffices for functional recovery. Taken together, these findings imply that in the zebrafish spinal cord, OPCs replace lost oligodendrocytes and, thus, re-establish myelination during regeneration.

Immune stimulation recruits a subset of pro-regenerative macrophages to the retina that promotes axonal regrowth of injured neurons

Project description:The multifaceted nature of neuroinflammation is highlighted by its ability to both aggravate and promote neuronal health. While in mammals retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are unable to regenerate following injury, acute inflammation can induce axonal regrowth. However, the nature of the cells, cellular states and signalling pathways that drive this inflammation-induced regeneration have remained elusive. Here, we investigated the functional significance of macrophages during RGC de- and regeneration, by characterizing the inflammatory cascade evoked by optic nerve crush (ONC) injury, with or without local inflammatory stimulation in the vitreous. By combining single-cell RNA sequencing and fate mapping approaches, we elucidated the response of retinal microglia and recruited monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) to RGC injury. Importantly, inflammatory stimulation recruited large numbers of MDMs to the retina, which exhibited long-term engraftment and promoted axonal regrowth. Ligand-receptor analysis highlighted a subset of recruited macrophages that exhibited expression of pro-regenerative secreted factors, which were able to promote axon regrowth via paracrine signalling. Our work reveals how inflammation may promote CNS regeneration by modulating innate immune responses, providing a rationale for macrophage-centred strategies for driving neuronal repair following injury and disease.

Transcriptional reprogramming of distinct peripheral sensory neuron subtypes after axonal injury

Project description:Primary somatosensory neurons specialize in transmitting distinct types of sensory information through differences in cell size, myelination, and the expression of various receptors and ion channels, which together define their transcriptional and functional identity. By profiling sensory ganglia at single-cell resolution, we find that the different somatosensory neuronal subtypes undergo a similar transcriptional response to peripheral nerve injury that both promotes axonal regeneration and suppresses cell identity. This transcriptional reprogramming, which is not observed in non-neuronal cells from sensory ganglia, resolves over a similar time course as target reinnervation and is associated with the restoration of original cell identity. Injury-induced transcriptional reprogramming requires ATF3, a transcription factor which is induced rapidly after injury and necessary for axonal regeneration and functional recovery. Our findings suggest that the transcription factors induced early after peripheral sensory neuron injury promote their transcriptional and functional metamorphosis, analogous to their known roles in reprogramming cell fate.

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals the link between axonal regeneration and neuropathic pain by modified analysis of a novel peripheral nerve injury rat model

Project description:Severe peripheral nerve injury (PNI) often causes significant movement disorders and intractable pain. Therefore, promoting nerve regeneration while avoiding neuropathic pain, a problem that remains unsolved, is key to the clinical treatment of PNI patients. Here, we establish a novel spared nerve crush (SNC) rat model that successfully reproduces axonal regeneration and neuropathic pain after PNI. Subsequently, we obtained single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from rat directly injured and indirectly injured rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons at various time points after SNC and found that the PEP1 neuronal subtype in directly injured DRG is of particular interest. Through experimental design, sc-RNA sequence processing (EDSSP) and functional verification, we identified a potential key gene, Adcyap1, that encodes a key molecule linking nerve regeneration and pain after PNI. Our study sheds new light on the intrinsic link between axonal regeneration and neuropathic pain following PNI and provides new molecular targets and ideas for therapeutic intervention.

Schwann cell plasticity regulates neuroblastic tumor cell differentiation - phosphoproteomics

Project description:The remarkable plasticity of Schwann cells (SCs) is essential for nerve regeneration but also contributes to neuropathies and cancer progression. It has not yet been investigated whether the adaptive potential of SCs is manifested in stromal, tumor associated SCs characteristically found within a benign subtype of neuroblastic tumors (NBTs). We here performed transcriptome profiling of human NBTs, rich and poor in SC stroma, as well as human injured nerves, rich in repair SCs, revealing that stromal SCs exhibit a repair SC characteristic gene expression signature. In turn, primary repair SCs had a pro-differentiating and anti-proliferative effect on NBT cell lines after direct and trans-well co-culture. Within the pool of secreted stromal/repair SC factors, we identified EGFL8, a matricellular protein with so far undescribed function, to induce neuronal differentiation of aggressive NBT cells. EGFL8 expression further correlated with favorable tumor stage and increased patient survival. Our findings suggest that stromal SCs exert nerve repair associated functions in the tumor-environment and underline the therapeutic value of SC-derived factors for aggressive, SC stroma-poor NBTs.

Transcription profiling of mouse rat cortical axons from un-injured and injured animals isolated after 13 days in culture

Project description:Efficient growth cone regeneration requires protein synthesis in the adult mammalian brain and spinal cord. Recent evidence suggests that the local availability of protein synthesis machinery in adult mammalian axons may be an indicator of their regenerative capacity. Here we investigated the local protein synthesis capacity in matured cortical axons, which have poor regenerative capacity, yet are critical for recovery following injury due to traumatic brain injury and stroke. This work is the first to biochemically isolate and identify mRNA from mammalian cortical axons, making use of a unique microfluidic platform to isolate axons free of other cellular debris. We first sought to identify mRNA in naÃ¯ve axons that makes up the pool of mRNA available for translation initiated following axotomy. Next, we investigated changes in the mRNA population localized to axons 2 days following axotomy and growth cone regeneration. Experiment Overall Design: Cortical axons were harvested using the compartmentalized microfluidic platform after 13 days in culture at a time when they express mature synaptic proteins. A total of 7 Genechips were used for the uninjured cortical axons from 3 different culture batches. 3 Genechips were used for neurons isolated from the neuronal compartment of the microfluidic platfrom. The neuronal Genechip were used to compare mRNA populations with axonal Genechips and for quality control purposes. 3 Genechips were used for regenerating axons; for these, axons were axotomized at 11 days in culture, then allowed to regrow for 2 days before harvesting.
