Project description:Post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) stands as one of the numerous debilitating consequences that follow traumatic brain injury (TBI). Despite its impact on many individuals, the current landscape offers only a limited array of reliable treatment options, and our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and susceptibility factors remains incomplete. Among the potential contributors to epileptogenesis, astrocytes, a type of glial cell, have garnered substantial attention as they are believed to promote hyperexcitability and the development of seizures in the brain following TBI. The current study evaluated the transcriptomic changes in cortical astrocytes derived from animals that developed seizures as a result of severe focal TBI. Using RNA-Seq and ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA), we unveil a distinct gene expression profile in astrocytes, including alterations in genes supporting inflammation, early response modifiers, and neuropeptide-amidating enzymes. The findings underscore the complex molecular dynamics in astrocytes during PTE development, offering insights into therapeutic targets and avenues for further exploration.

Project description:In order to assess the impact of treadmill exercise on traumatic brain injury outcomes, we subjected male and female swiss webster mice to a controlled cortical impact (CCI), followed by 10 days of sedentary, low-, moderate-, or high-intensity treadmill exercise. Outcome measures included neurometabolic function, cognitive recovery, oxidative stress, pathophysiology, and single nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA seq). The snRNA seq study was conducted on both male and female mice, and included a total of 2 replicates (each was a pool of 2 tissue samples) from each of the following groups: male sham sedentary, male CCI sedentary, male CCI low, male CCI high, female sham sedentary, female CCI sedentary, female CCI low, female CCI high. Our data reveal exercise intensity- and sex-dependent effects of treadmill exercise following injury. Transcriptomic changes were largely limited to the low-intensity exercised CCI males.

Project description:Reactive astrogliosis is characterized by a profound change in astrocyte phenotype in response to all CNS injuries and diseases. To better understand the reactive astrocyte state, we used Affymetrix GeneChip arrays to profile gene expression in populations of reactive astrocytes isolated at various time points after induction using two different mouse injury models, ischemic stroke and neuroinflammation. Young adult male mice underwent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) to produce ischemic stroke or control sham surgery. Young adult mice were injected intraperitoneally with 5 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to produce neuroinflammation or saline for control. Astrocytes were acutely purified from control and injured brains at 1 day after injury for LPS/saline injection and 1, 3 days and 7 days after MCAO/sham surgeries.

Project description:We analyzed the gene expression profiles of S1L2/3 glutamatergic neurons in maternal mice and their offspring by single-cell RNA sequencing (12,671 ± 1,402 genes per neuron). Compared to sham control mice, we identified 513 and 571 differentially expressed genes in CCI offspring and their maternal mice respectively. And 102 overlapped genes were identified between CCI offspring and their maternal mice.

Project description:Traumatic brain injury (TBI) initiates not only complex neurovascular and glial changes within the brain but also pathophysiological responses that extend beyond the central nervous system. The peripheral response to TBI has become an intensive area of research, as these systemic perturbations can induce dysfunction in multiple organ systems. As there are no approved therapeutics for TBI, it is imperative that we investigate the peripheral response to TBI to identify targets for future intervention. Of particular interest is the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Even in the absence of polytrauma, brain-injured individuals are at increased risk of suffering from GI-related morbidity and mortality. Symptoms such as intestinal dysmotility, inflammation, ulceration, and fecal incontinence can drastically diminish quality of life. The GI tract is inhabited by trillions of microbes that have been implicated as modulators of many neurological disorders. Clinical and preclinical studies implicate gut dysbiosis, a pathological imbalance in the normally symbiotic microbiota, as both a consequence of TBI as well as a contributing factor to brain damage. However, our understanding of this interplay is still limited. While relatively little is known about the effects of TBI on the structure and function of the GI tract, prior studies report that experimental TBI induces intestinal barrier dysfunction and morphological changes. To confirm these findings in the current model of TBI, male C57BL/6J mice underwent a sham control or a controlled cortical impact (CCI) procedure to induce a contusive brain injury, and intestinal permeability was assessed at 4 h, 8 h, 1 d, and 3 d post-injury. An acute, transient increase in permeability was observed at 4 h after CCI. Histological analyses of the ileum and colon at multiple time points from 4 h to 4 wks revealed no overt morphological changes, suggesting that CCI induced a short-lived physiologic dysfunction without major structural alterations to the GI tract. As the microbiome is a modulator of GI physiology, we performed 16s gene sequencing on fecal samples collected prior to and over the first month after CCI or sham injury. Microbial community diversity was assessed using common metrics of alpha and beta diversity. Alpha diversity was lower in the CCI injury group and beta diversity differed among groups, although these effects were not observed in all metrics. Subsequent differential abundance analysis revealed that the phylum Verrucamicrobiota was increased in CCI mice at 1, 2, and 3 d post-injury when compared to sham mice. Subsequent qPCR identified the Verrucamicrobiota species as Akkermansia Muciniphila, an obligate anaerobe that resides in and helps regulate the intestinal mucus layer and barrier. To determine whether TBI promotes changes to the GI tract favorable for the proliferation of A. muciniphila, mucus-producing goblet cells and the level of GI hypoxia were evaluated. Goblet cell density in the medial colon was significantly increased at 1 d, while colon hypoxia was significantly increased at 3 d. Taken together, these studies show that CCI induces transient intestinal barrier dysfunction followed by increased goblet cell density and hypoxia in the colon with a concomitant increase in A. muciniphila that may suggest a compensatory response to systemic stress after TBI.

Project description:We performed single cell RNA-sequencing to investigate the molecular properties of Rbpj-K deleted astrocytes from the mouse somatosensory cortex. In the presence of a stab-wound injury, these cells undertake a neurogenic program, which can be analysed in the present dataset. The experiment encompassed cells from Rbpj-K-/- as well as wild type animals, and collected from injured or healthy cortices 3 wpi.

Project description:Using an experimental TBI rat model of mild/moderate Controlled Cortical Impact (CCI) injury, we combined large-scale proteomics identification and relative quantification using Spatially-Resolved Microproteomics with MALDI MS Imaging of Lipids. Spatially by studying different regions in the brain post injury in a coronal view, with main focus on the injury site itself. Temporally by studying the acute and subacute phase post injury, including injured rat brains at 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, and 10 days post injury. Direct on-tissue micro-digestion followed by micoextraction from 1 mm2 surface area within the injured cortical tissue were subjected to LC-MS & MS/MS analysis using HR MS. In addition, several identified potential biomarkers within our study were used to stimulate dorsal root ganglion (DRG), astrocyte, and macrophage cell lines to obtain a better understanding of their role and contribution in the injury.
