Laser capture microdissection of the ganglion cell layer for analyzing transcriptional responses induced by demyelination

ABSTRACT: Demyelination and loss of oligodendrocytes deprives neurons of crucial metabolic and trophic support and contributes to neurodegeneration. However, the precise mechanisms that trigger neurodegeneration during demyelination remain unclear. Here, we examine transcriptional differences in neurons that have been demyelinated relative to myelinated neurons. Demyelination is induced by the knockout of Myrf, a transcription factor essential for myelin gene expression and oligodendrocyte identity, from oligodendrocyte lineage cells using Myrffl/fl Sox10 CreERT mice. We performed laser capture microdissection of the ganglion cell layer, which contains the majority of the retinal ganglion cells (RGC), a nearly ubiquitously myelinated population of neurons. We find that dissection of the ganglion cell layer greatly enriches for RGC transcripts relative to controls. Demyelinated Myrffl/fl Sox10 CreERT mice have upregulation of Hrk and Ecel1 in the ganglion cell layer, which are known to be upregulated during axonal injury and driven by dual leucine zipper kinase (DLK) signaling. These data suggest that demyelination may activate a DLK-mediated signaling cascade that culminates in transcriptional changes that are often associated with apoptosis of neurons in the central nervous system.

snRNA-Seq of optic nerve from two models of inducible demyelination.

Project description:Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neuroinflammatory disease characterized by demyelinated lesions in the CNS. Remyelination in MS is variable between individuals and tends to become less efficient with aging. Microglia and astrocytes are known to have critical roles in MS pathogenesis, but to what extent their activity is altered by remyelination failure remains unclear. To determine the effects of demyelination on neuroinflammation, we use two mouse models that genetically ablate myelinating oligodendrocytes. We use the Plp1-CreERT mouse line crossed with the Myrf fl/fl mouse line to induce genetic demyelination throughout the CNS following adult tamoxifen administration. Subsequent remyelination is mediated by the proliferation and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) to newly formed oligodendrocytes. To assess the consequences of remyelination failure, we deleted Myrf from both mature oligodendrocytes and OPCs using Myrf fl/fl; Sox10-CreERT mice, which both induces demyelination and impairs subsequent remyelination. To characterize the glial cells in these demyelinated mice, we performed single-nucleus RNA-sequencing (snRNAseq) of optic nerves at peak demyelination, generating an atlas of non-neuronal cells including oligodendrocyte lineage cells, astrocytes, microglia, endothelial cells, pericytes, arachnoid barrier cells, vascular and leptomeningeal cells.

Differential gene expression and pathway analysis by RNA sequencing in human OPTN(E50K) astrocytes

Project description:Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration is a primary characteristic of glaucoma, although non-cell autonomous mechanisms have been implicated in RGC dysfunction. Astrocytes closely associate with RGCs in the nerve fiber layer of the retina and optic nerve, where they can contribute to RGC neurodegeneration. However, the mechanisms by which astrocytes promote neurotoxicity and contribute to glaucoma remain unclear. Here we present data describing disease phenotypes in astrocytes and their ability to modulate RGC health.

Comparative proteomic profiling identifies reciprocal expression of mitochondrial proteins between white and grey matter lesions from multiple sclerosis brains

Project description:Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), where ongoing demyelination and remyelination failure are the major factors for progressive neurological disability. In this report, we employed a comprehensive proteomic approach and immunohistochemical (IHC) validation to gaininsight into the pathobiological mechanisms that may be associated with the progressive phase of MS disease. Isolated proteins from myelinated regions, demyelinated white matter lesions (WMLs), and grey-matter lesions (GMLs) of well-characterized progressive MS brain tissues were subjected to label-free quantitative mass spectrometry (LFQ-MS). Using a system-biology approach, we detected increased expression of proteins belonging to mitochondrial electron transport complexes and oxidative phosphorylatio pathway in WMLs. Intriguingly, many of these proteins and pathways had opposite expression patterns in GMLs of progressive MS brains. A comparison to the huma MitoCarta database mapped the mitochondrial proteins to mitochondrial subunits in both WMLs and GMLs. Taken together, we provide evidence of opposite expression of mitochondrial proteins in response to demyelination of white- and grey-matter regions in progressive MS brain.

Axonopathy precedes cell death in ocular damage mediated by blast exposure

Project description:Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) of varied types are common across all populations and can cause visual problems. For military personnel in combat settings, injuries from blast exposures (bTBI) are prevalent and arise from a myriad of different situations. To model these diverse conditions, we are one of several groups modeling bTBI using mice in varying ways. Here, we report a refined analysis of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) damage in male C57BL/6J mice exposed to a blast-wave in an enclosed chamber. Ganglion cell layer thickness, RGC density (BRN3A and RBPMS immunoreactivity), cellular density of ganglion cell layer (hematoxylin and eosin staining), and axon numbers (paraphenylenediamine staining) were quantified at timepoints ranging from 1 to 17-weeks. RNA sequencing was performed at 1-week and 5-weeks post-injury. Earliest indices of damage, evident by 1-week post-injury, are a loss of RGC marker expression, damage to RGC axons, and increase in glial markers expression. Blast exposure caused a loss of RGC somas and axons-with greatest loss occurring by 5-weeks post-injury. While indices of glial involvement are prominent early, they quickly subside as RGCs are lost. The finding that axonopathy precedes soma loss resembles pathology observed in mouse models of glaucoma, suggesting similar mechanisms.

The Cytoskeletal Stress Response Pathway: a homeostatic system driven by Dual Leucine Zipper Kinase (DLK)

Project description:Injury to peripheral axons initiates a complex cascade of cellular responses, including cytoskeletal disassembly, axon transport disruption, and ultimately axon regeneration. Central to this process is the MAP triple kinase Dual-Leucine Zipper Kinase (DLK), activated by injury and other neuronal stressors. Here, we propose the existence of a homeostatic mechanism termed the Cytoskeletal Perturbation Response (CPR). We investigate this hypothesis by examining the response of cultured dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons to low dose nocodazole treatment, a cytoskeletal perturbing agent. To gain insights into DLK-dependent transcriptional changes following cytoskeletal insult, we performed bulk RNA sequencing on cultured neurons treated for 16 hours. Using a fully crossed two-factor design, we determined the interactive effect of DLK on nocodazole- dependent transcriptional changes. Our study demonstrates that cytoskeletal perturbation triggers DLK-dependent signaling cascades, leading to significant transcriptional changes. These changes involve transcription factors (Jun, Egr1, Atf3) and MAP kinase regulators (DUSPs), pointing to a regulatory network that attenuates DLK signaling. Taken together, our findings suggest that cytoskeletal perturbation activates a DLK-dependent homeostatic mechanism, the CPR, which orchestrates transcriptional changes and morphological adaptations to repair neuronal damage. The CPR bears similarities to established homeostatic responses, offering insights into the intricate processes that underlie axon regeneration and cellular repair.

Oxidative damage and respiratory burst in Multiple Sclerosis

Project description:In this project we focused on white matter injury in relapsing remitting MS. We concentrated on material obtained from patients who suffered from fulminant active MS to identify possible sources for ROS production in relation to demyelination and neurodegeneration. To identify possible sources for ROS production in relation to demyelination and neurodegeneration in MS, we used genome wide microarray analysis of gene expression in carefully dissected lesion areas of patients with fulminant acute MS. Preceding the gene expression profiling all cases were characterized histologically and areas of interest were identified. We included 4 control cases, 2 active MS cases were we separated 3 distinct lesions areas (NAWM, initial lesion and early demyelinated lesion) and 1 active MS case were we separated 2 distinct lesion areas (NAWM and early demyelinated lesion). The RNA was isolated from those areas, amplified and hybridized to Agilent G4112A whole genome microarrays.

Retinoid X receptor gamma signaling accelerates CNS remyelination

Project description:The molecular basis of CNS myelin regeneration (remyelination) is poorly understood. Here we generate a comprehensive transcriptional profile of the separate stages of spontaneous remyelination following focal demyelination in the rat CNS. White matter tracts in the rat caudal cerebellar peduncles were focally demyelinated using 0.1% ethidium bromide, the lesions were isolated using laser capture microdissection at 5, 14 and 28 days postlesion, followed by RNA extraction and Illumina beadarray analysis of differentially expressed transcripts. We found transcripts encoding retinoid acid receptor RXR-gamma is highly differentially expressed during remyelination, and that oligodendrocyte lineage cells express RXR-gamma in rat tissues undergoing remyelination and in active and remyelinated MS lesions. RXR-gamma knockdown by RNA interference or RXR-specific antagonists severely inhibit oligodendrocyte differentiation in culture. In RXR-gamma deficient mice, adult oligodendrocyte precursor cells efficiently repopulate lesions following demyelination, but display delayed differentiation into mature oligodendrocytes. Administration of the RXR agonist 9-cis-retinoic acid to demyelinated cerebellar slice cultures and to aged rats following demyelination results in more remyelinated axons. RXR-gamma is therefore a positive regulator of endogenous oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation and remyelination, and may be a pharmacological target for CNS regenerative therapy. 9 Samples analysed, 3 different time points each with 3 biological replicates.
