Single-nucleus analysis of intact spinal cord and spared tissue after complete injury in rhesus monkey

ABSTRACT: The lumbar spinal cord is fundamental for hindlimb function and serves as spared tissue after spinal cord injury (SCI). However, our knowledge about cellular heterogeneity of the intact spinal cord and spared tissues is still scarce especially in primates. Here, we used single-nucleus RNA sequencing analysis in rhesus monkey to characterize the cellular heterogeneity of the spinal cord and profile the dynamic changes of cells in spared tissues after complete thoracic SCI. We found that rhesus monkey and mice shared a highly conserved pattern of cellular constitution but with divergent gene expression. After SCI, the cellular characteristics of spared tissue changed permanently and showed a regionally diverse response. We identified an emerging oligodendrocyte subtype that responded to interferon and a new permanently activated microglia subtype that was responsible for eliminating cell debris. Overall, our findings revealed dynamic changes of cells in spared tissue, providing comprehensive insights for SCI repair.

Single-cell analysis reveals region-heterogeneous responses in rhesus monkey spinal cord with complete injury

Project description:Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to severe sensory and motor dysfunction below the lesion. However, the cellular heterogeneity and dynamic responses in different regions below the lesion remain to be elusive. Here, we used single-cell transcriptomics to characterize the region-related cellular responses in complete thoracic SCI of rhesus monkeys from the acute to the chronic phase. We found that cells in the distal lumbar tissue were severely affected and generated a degenerative microenvironment dominated by sustained activation of phagocytic microglia, increased inhibitory interneurons, and demyelinated oligodendrocytes after SCI. Furthermore, we revealed scaffold implantation in the injury sites could improve the microenvironment of injury sites by regulating glial cells and fibroblasts, and remodel the spared lumbar tissues by decreasing the inhibitory neurons and enhancing phagocytosis and remyelination. Our findings provide comprehensive pathological insights into the spared distal tissues and proximal tissues after SCI, highlighting the importance of scaffold-based treatment strategies for targeting heterogeneous microenvironments.

Neuroligin 3 promotes functional recovery of spinal cord injury through coordinating with Sar1a and Hspa8 at synapses

Project description:The recovery of locomotor function following incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) primarily relies on the precise reconstruction of synaptic communications between spared corticospinal tract (CST) axons and propriospinal neurons. However, components capable of rebuilding synaptic machinery after injury remain elusive. Here, using RNA-Seq of human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hUC-MSCs) before and after transplantation in SCI rats, along with in vitro and in vivo functional screenings, we identified Neuroligin 3 (NLGN3) as a spinal cord microenvironment (SCE)-activated cell adhesion molecule (CAM) in hUC-MSCs, promoting MSC-mediated functional recovery of SCI. Importantly, spinal neuron-specific activation of Nlgn3 led to significant functional improvement in SCI rats, resembling the effects of hUC-MSC transplantation. We elucidated the protein interactome of Nlgn3, enriched with proteins involved in synaptic transmission. Specifically, Nlgn3 interacted with synaptic vesicle (SV)-associated proteins, Sar1a and Hspa8, modulating their recruitment at synapses. Remarkably, restoring either of these two proteins in injured spinal neurons improved locomotor recovery of SCI, with further enhancement when combined with Nlgn3. Thus, our results not only reveal the previously unknown therapeutic effect of Nlgn3 in SCI repair but also propose a novel approach for treating SCI by targeting protein complexes centered around Nlgn3. This study also suggests that MSCs can serve as a stem cell platform for identifying innovative therapeutic targets and mechanisms to reestablish corticospinal-spinal relay circuits after SCI.

MHC-II immunopeptidome for CNS injury model

Project description:In homeostasis, because of the blood-brain barrier, immune cells rarely infiltrate the central nervous system (CNS). However, after spinal cord injury (SCI), many cells, including both myeloid and T cells, infiltrate the spinal cord. However, the role immune cells play in SCI remains controversial. We are curious whether after SCI there are self-peptides that are released and sensed by T cells that then modulate response to CNS injury.

Gene expression profiles in the spinal cord below the lesion level and influence of treadmill locomotor training

Project description:Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to loss of locomotor function. Neuroplasticity of spinal circuitry underlies some functional recovery and therefore represents a therapeutic target to improve locomotor function following SCI. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms mediating neuroplasticity below the lesion level are not fully understood. The present study performed a gene expression profiling in the rat lumbar spinal cord at 1 and 3 weeks after contusive SCI at T9 compared to control rat that received sham injury (laminectomy). The below-level gene expression profiles were compared with those of animals that were subjected to treadmill locomotor training. Rat lumbar spinal cords were taken for the microarray analysis at 1 and 3 weeks after contusive spinal cord injury at the T9 level. Another group of rats received treadmill locomotor training for 3 weeks, and theirs spinal cords were harvested for the microarray. The changes in gene expression after spinal cord injury were analyzed at the two time points. The influence of treadmill locomotor training was evaluated by comparing gene expression profiles between animals with or without treadmill training.

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.

Transcription profiling time series of Rattus norvegicus raphe magnus and sensorimotor cortex samples following moderate spinal cord injury

Project description:Summary: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a damage to the spinal cord induced by trauma or disease resulting in a loss of mobility or feeling. SCI is characterized by a primary mechanical injury followed by a secondary injury in which several molecular events are altered in the spinal cord often resulting in loss of neuronal function. Analysis of the areas directly (spinal cord) and indirectly (raphe and sensorimotor cortex) affected by injury will help understanding mechanisms of SCI. Hypothesis: Areas of the brain primarily affected by spinal cord injury are the Raphe and the Sensorimotor cortex thus gene expression profiling these two areas might contribute understanding the mechanisms of spinal cord injury. Specific Aim: The project aims at finding significantly altered genes in the Raphe and Sensorimotor cortex following an induced moderate spinal cord injury in T9.

Transcription profiling time series analyzing the molecular events in rat spinal cord sections following mechanical injury

Project description:Summary: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a damage to the spinal cord induced by trauma or disease resulting in a loss of mobility or feeling. SCI is characterized by a primary mechanical injury followed by a secondary injury in which several molecular events are altered in the spinal cord often resulting in loss of neuronal function. Hypothesis: Spinal cord injury (SCI) induces a cascade of molecular events including the activation of genes associated with transcription factors, inflammation, oxidative stress, ionic imbalance, apoptosis and neuroregeneration which suggests the existance of endogenous reparative attempts. However, not all mechanisms following SCI are well known. Specific Aim: The goal of this project is to analyze the molecular events following spinal cord injury 1 cm above, below, and at the site of injury (T9), aiming at finding potential new targets to improve recovery and therapy.
