Project description:Axon regeneration in the central nervous system (CNS) requires reactivating injured neurons’ intrinsic growth state and enabling growth in an inhibitory environment. Using an inbred mouse neuronal phenotypic screen, we find that CAST/Ei mouse adult dorsal root ganglion neurons extend axons more on CNS myelin than the other eight strains tested, especially when pre-injured. Injury-primed CAST/Ei neurons also regenerate markedly in the spinal cord and optic nerve more than those from C57BL/6 mice and show greater spouting following ischemic stroke. Heritability estimates indicate that extended growth in CAST/Ei neurons on myelin is genetically determined, and two whole-genome expression screens yield the Activin transcript Inhba as most correlated with this ability. These screens are presented here. Biological quadruplicate - Mouse tissue - Naïve Dorsal Root Ganglia (DRG) and 5 day post sciatic nerve crush DRG - x9 strains.

Project description:In mammals, neurons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) have regenerative capacity following injury, a capacity which but it is generally absent in the central nervous system (CNS). This difference is attributed, at least in part, to the intrinsic ability of PNS neurons to activate a unique regenerative transcriptional program following injury. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) transcripts are typically expressed in a small subset of cell types and may facilitate specificity in regulatory programs. Here we profiled gene expression following sciatic nerve crush in mice, and identified lncRNAs that act in the regenerating neurons, and which are typically not expressed in other contexts. We show that two of these lncRNAs regulate the extent of neuronal outgrowth. We then focus on one of these, Silc1, and show that it regulates neuroregeneration in cultured cells and in vivo, through cis-acting activation of the transcription factor Sox11.

Project description:Pathologies of the central nervous system (CNS) white matter often result in permanent functional deficits because mature mammalian projection neurons fail to regenerate long-distance axons after injury. A major barrier to axonal regenerative research is that the CNS axons that regenerate in response to experimental treatments stall growth before reaching their post-synaptic targets. Here, we test the hypothesis that interaction of regenerating axons with live oligodendrocytes, which were absent during developmental axon growth, stalls axonal growth. To test this hypothesis, first, we used single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) and immunohistological analysis to investigate whether post-injury born oligodendrocytes incorporate into the glial scar after optic nerve injury. Then, we administered demyelination-inducing cuprizone (used in studies of multiple sclerosis), concurrently with the stimulation of axon regeneration by Pten knockdown (KD) in projection neurons after optic nerve injury. We found that post-injury born oligodendrocyte lineage cells incorporate into the glial scar, where they are susceptible to the demyelination diet treatment, which reduced their presence in the glial scar. We further found that the demyelination diet enhanced Pten KD-stimulated axon regeneration, and localized injection of cuprizone promoted axon regeneration. We also present a website for comparing the gene expression of scRNA-seq-profiled optic nerve oligodendrocyte lineage cells under physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Annotation of oligodendrocyte lineage cell subtypes, and normal or injured condition, are indicated in the last two rows of the cell matrix CSV file.

Project description:The aim of our study is to determine the functions of histone deacetylases (HDACs) 1 and 2 in Schwann cells during postnatal development of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Schwann cells are the myelinating glial cells of the PNS. At birth, mouse sciatic nerves mature in 2 subsequent phases: 1/ big caliber axons get sorted into a 1 to 1 relationship with Schwann cells, 2/ Schwann cells build a myelin sheath around sorted axons. In mice where both HDAC1 & HDAC2 have been specifically knocked out in Schwann cells, both phases are impaired. HDACs are chromatin remodeling enzymes, they can thus alter gene expression directly. We want to identify which genes controlled by HDAC1 and HDAC2 in Schwann cells are necessary for the maturation of sciatic nerves. Because HDAC1 and HDAC2 can compensate for each other loss to some extend, we will first analyze changes of gene expression in HDAC1/HDAC2 double KO animals. We expect to gain critical insights into the molecular mechanisms controlling Schwann cell differentiation and myelination. This knowledge is of key importance for the success of regenerative medicine in peripheral neuropathies, nerve tumors, and transplantation paradigms in non-regenerative CNS lesions and in large PNS injuries. 3 double knockout mutants for HDAC1 and HDAC2 and 3 control littermates were analyzed. Tissues analyzed: sciatic nerves of 2 day-old mouse pups

Project description:After an injury in the adult mammalian central nervous system, lesioned axons fail to regenerate. This failure to regenerate contrasts with the remarkable potential of axons to grow following an injury in the peripheral nervous system. Peripheral sensory neurons with cell soma in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) switch to a regenerative state after nerve injury to enable axon regeneration and functional recovery. Decades of research have focused on the signaling pathways elicited by injury in sensory neurons and in Schwann cells that insulate axons as central mechanisms regulating nerve repair. However, neuronal microenvironment is far more complex and is composed of multiple cell types including endothelial, immune and glial cells. Whether the microenvironment surrounding neuronal soma contribute to the poor regenerative outcomes following central injuries remains largely unexplored. To answer this question, we performed a single cell transcriptional profiling of the DRG neuronal microenvironment response to peripheral and central injuries. In dissecting the roles of the microenvironment contribution, we have focused on a poorly studied glia population of Satellite Glial Cells (SGC) surrounding the neuronal cell soma. Upon a peripheral injury, SGC contribute to axon regeneration via Fatty acid synthase (Fasn)-PPARα signaling pathway. Our analysis reveals that in response to central injuries, SGC do not activate the PPAR signaling pathway. However, induction of this pathway with fenofibrate, an FDA- approved PPARα agonist used for dyslipidemia treatment, rescued axon regeneration following an injury to the central nerves. Collectively, our results uncovered a previously unappreciated role of the neuronal microenvironment differential response in central and peripheral injuries.

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.

Project description:Functional deficits persist after spinal cord injury (SCI) because axons in the adult mammalian central nervous system (CNS) fail to regenerate. However, modest levels of spontaneous functional recovery are typically observed after trauma, and are thought to be mediated by the plasticity of intact circuits. The mechanisms underlying intact circuit plasticity are not delineated. Here, we characterize the in vivo transcriptome of sprouting intact neurons from ngr1 null mice after partial SCI. We identify the lysophosphatidic acid signaling modulators Lppr1 and Lpar1 as intrinsic axon growth modulators for intact corticospinal motor neurons after adjacent injury. Furthermore, in vivo Lpar1 inhibition or Lppr1 overexpression enhances sprouting of intact corticospinal tract axons and yields greater functional recovery after unilateral brainstem lesion in wild type mice. Thus, the transcriptional profile of injury-induced sprouting of intact neurons reveals targets for therapeutic enhancement of axon growth initiation and new synapse formation.

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.
