Upregulation of developmentally-downregulated miR-1247-5p promotes neuroprotection and axon regeneration in vivo [Small-RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Numerous micro-RNAs (miRNAs) affect neurodevelopment and neuroprotection, but potential roles of many miRNAs in regulating these processes are still unknown. Here, we used the retinal ganglion cell (RGC) central nervous system (CNS) projection neuron and optic nerve crush (ONC) injury model, to optimize a mature miRNA arm-specific quantification method for characterizing the developmental regulation of miR-1247-5p in RGCs, investigated whether injury affects its expression, and tested whether upregulating miR-1247-5p-mimic in RGCs promotes neuroprotection and axon regeneration. We found that, miR-1247-5p is developmentally-downregulated in RGCs, and is also further downregulated after ONC. Importantly, RGC-specific upregulation of miR-1247-5p promoted neuroprotection and axon regeneration after injury in vivo. To gain insight into the underlying mechanisms, we analyzed by bulk-mRNA-seq embryonic and adult RGCs, along with adult RGCs transduced by miR-1247-5p-expressing viral vector, and identified developmentally-regulated cilial and mitochondrial biological processes, which were reinstated to their embryonic levels in adult RGCs by upregulation of miR-1247-5p. Because axon growth is also a developmentally-regulated process, in which mitochondrial dynamics play important roles, it is possible that miR-1247-5p promoted neuroprotection and axon regeneration through regulating mitochondrial functions.

Augmenting fibronectin levels in injured adult CNS promotes axon regeneration in vivo [scRNA-seq]

Project description:In an attempt to repair injured central nervous system (CNS) nerves/tracts, immune cells are recruited into the injury site, but endogenous response in adult mammals is insufficient for promoting regeneration of severed axons. Here, we found that a portion of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) CNS projection neurons that survive after optic nerve crush (ONC) injury are enriched for and upregulate fibronectin (Fn)-interacting integrins Itga5 and ItgaV, and that Fn promotes long-term survival and long-distance axon regeneration of a portion of axotomized adult RGCs in culture. We then show that, Fn is developmentally downregulated in the axonal tracts of optic nerve and spinal cord, but injury-activated macrophages/microglia upregulate Fn while axon regeneration-promoting zymosan augments their recruitment (and thereby increases Fn levels) in the injured optic nerve. Finally, we found that Fn’s RGD motif, established to interact with Itga5 and ItgaV, promotes long-term survival and long-distance axon regeneration of adult RGCs after ONC in vivo, with some axons reaching the optic chiasm when co-treated with Rpl7a gene therapy. Thus, experimentally augmenting Fn levels in the injured CNS is a promising approach for therapeutic neuroprotection and axon regeneration of at least a portion of neurons.

Overlapping transcriptional programs promote survival and axonal regeneration of injured retinal ganglion cells [1]

Project description:Neurons of the central nervous system (CNS) display only a limited ability to survive and regenerate their axons after an injury. In mice, 85% of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) die within 2 weeks of axotomy by optic nerve crush (ONC) and only few survivors regenerate axons. In the past years, a multitude of interventions have been identified to improve RGC survival and regeneration after an injury, however, each only protects a subset of neurons and stimulates axon regrowth in an even smaller set.. Here, we sought out to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying this selective responsiveness and investigated genes regulated by three well established survival and regeneration-promoting interventions – activation of the MTOR pathway via deletion of its inhibitor Pten, activation of the Jak/Stat-pathway by deletion of its endogenous inhibitor Socs3, and overexpression of the neurotrophic cytokine CNTF. Analysis of the transcriptomes from >125,000 single RGCs at various time points after ONC showed that while broad survival of all RGC types could be induced with each intervention, type-independent axon regeneration was only overcome with the manipulation of multiple pathways. Those RGCs were able to mitigate the injury response and simultaneously upregulated survival and regeneration associated programs (prior and after injury). Four independent ways of analysis identified these programs to be differentially regulated among RGCs, with distinct signatures for degenerating, surviving and regenerating cells. Finally, testing some genes associated with the regeneration-program in vivo identified potential future therapeutic targets to promote neuroprotection and axonal regeneration.

Nfe2l3 promotes neuroprotection and long-distance axon regeneration after injury in vivo [Third party: scRNA-seq]

Project description:Nuclear factor erythroid 2 like (Nfe2l) gene family members 1-3 mediate cellular response to oxidative stress, including in the central nervous system (CNS). However, neuronal functions of Nfe2l3 are unknown. Here, we comparatively evaluated expression of Nfe2l1, Nfe2l2, and Nfe2l3 in singe cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq)-profiled cortical and retinal ganglion cell (RGC) CNS projection neurons, investigated whether Nfe2l3 regulates neuroprotection and axon regeneration after CNS injury in vivo, and characterized a gene network associated with Nfe2l3 in neurons. We showed that, Nfe2l3 expression transiently peaks in developing immature cortical and RGC projection neurons, but is nearly abolished in adult neurons and is not upregulated after injury. Furthermore, within the retina, Nfe2l3 is enriched in RGCs, whereas Nfe2l1 and Nfe2l2 are expressed robustly in other retinal cell types as well, and are also upregulated after injury. We also found that, expressing Nfe2l3 in injured RGCs through localized intralocular viral vector delivery promotes neuroprotection and long-distance axon regeneration after optic nerve injury in vivo. Moreover, Nfe2l3 treatment provided a similar extent of neuroprotection and axon regeneration as viral vector-targeting of Pten and Klf9, which are prominent regulators of neuroprotection and long-distance axon regeneration. Finally, we bioinformatically characterized a gene network associated with Nfe2l3 in neurons, which revealed the association of Nfe2l3 with established mechanisms of neuroprotection and axon regeneration. Thus, Nfe2l3 is a novel neuroprotection and axon regeneration-promoting factor with a therapeutic potential for treating CNS injury and disease.
