Spinal Cord Injury regulates circular mRNA expression in axons


ABSTRACT: Injured axons in the CNS do not spontaneously regenerate leading to paralysis. Neurons can transport RNA and ribosomes to the site of injury where de novo translation has been known to occur, facilitating repair. Yet the tools available for studying axonal specific RNA are limited. We came up with a simple modification using Cold Active Proteases that enabled us to enrich for axonal RNA from rats with spinal cord injury (SCI) compared to non-injured. Our enriched axonal prep was then analyzed by bulk RNA-seq, where we looked at total RNA and we found differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Analyzing our bulk RNA-seq by Gene Ontology, we found the second most significant pathway for all DEGs was for axonogenesis, with markedly low glial cell contamination. From our DEGs we detected Rims2, which is reported to be predominately a circular RNA (circRNA) in the rodent CNS. Upon further annotation, we found over 200 putative circRNAs. circRNAs are abundant and well conserved in the brain, they are thought to be transcriptional regulators by functioning as microRNA (miR) sponges or binding to RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). By computational analysis using Circular RNA Interactome, we are able to predict which miRs or RBPs could bind to circRims2.
