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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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

Amacrine cells suppress retinal ganglion cells survival and optic nerve regeneration bu releasing intersynaptic zinc

Project description:Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) convey the major output of information collected from the eye to the brain. RGCs are irreversibly lost when injured in degenerative diseases such as glaucoma; this failure can be partially reversed by eliminating the retinal mobile zinc (Zn2+) and leads to substantial axon regeneration. ZnT3 conditional knockout in retinal amacrine cells blocks the synaptic transport of Zn2+, which promotes RGC survival and axonal regeneration in optic nerve jinjury (ONC). Here, we conducted an mRNA sequencing of flow cytometry-isolated RGCs 3 days after optic nerve injury with or without ZnT3 expression in retinal amacrine cells.

Labeled quantitative proteomics dataset of optogenetics induced axon regeneration

Project description:This labeled quantitative proteomics dataset was collected from a transgenic channel rhodopsin mouse model (Chr2) subjected to light stimulation after traumatic optic nerve crush (ONC) was performed. Mouse models expressing channel rhodopsin were subjected to therapeutic light stimulation promoting axon regeneration of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons post optic nerve crush. Experimental mice and wild type control mice were euthanized, and optic nerves were collected. A protein extraction was carried out by careful mincing of the tissue in extraction buffer (TEAB, NaCl and SDS). Protein amount normalization across samples was achieved using dot blot densitometry using ImageJ software. Samples were labelled using a modified 16plex TMT (Tandem Mass Tag) kit for quantification after overnight trypsin digestion. Untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was performed on an Easy-nLC 1000 liquid chromatograph coupled to a QExactive mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS). Data analysis was performed using Proteome Discoverer 2.5.

Retinal Ganglion Cell Expression of Cytokine Enhances Occupancy of NG2 Cell-Derived Astrocytes at the Nerve Injury Site: Implication for Axon Regeneration

Project description:Following injuryin the central nervous system, a population of astrocytes occupy the lesion site, form glial bridges and facilitate axon regeneration. Theseastrocytes originate primarily from resident astrocytes orNG2+ oligodendrocyteprogenitor cells. However, theextentto which these cell types give rise to the lesion-filling astrocytes,andwhethertheastrocytes derived from differentcell typescontribute similarly to optic nerve regenerationremain unclear.Here we examine the distributionof astrocytes and NG2+ cellsin an optic nerve crush model.Weshow that optic nerve astrocytes partially fill the injury site over timeafter a crush injury.Viral mediated expression of a growth-promotingfactor,ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF),in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) promotesaxon regeneration without altering the lesion size or the degreeof lesion-filling GFAP+ cells. Strikingly, using inducible NG2Cre driver mice, wefoundthat CNTF overexpression in RGCs increasesthe occupancy ofNG2+ cell-derived astrocytes in the optic nerve lesion. An EdU pulse-chase experiment showsthat the increase in NG2 cell-derived astrocytes is not due to an increase in cell proliferation.Lastly, we performedRNA-sequencing on the injured optic nerve and reveal that CNTF overexpression in RGCs results in significant changes in the expression of distinct genes,including those that encode chemokines, growth factor receptors,and immune cell modulators.Even though CNTF-induced axon regeneration has long been recognized, this is the first evidence of this procedure affecting glial cell fate at the optic nerve crush site.We discuss possible implication of theseresultsforaxon regeneration.

Metabolomics dataset of optogenetic axon regenerative mouse model post optic nerve crush

Project description:This metabolite dataset was collected from bacterial channel rhodopsin expressing transgenic mouse models subjected to optic nerve crush (ONC) with subsequent stimulation with light (promoting regeneration) or non-stimulation (lacking axon regeneration). ONC retains retinal ganglion cells within the retina, while degenerating axons. In transgenic bacterial channel rhodopsin expressing cells, light stimulation promotes regeneration. Genetically matched wild-type uninjured optic nerves, or control transgenic mice, were also analyzed. Metabolites were carefully extracted from finely minced optic nerve tissue using a solvent system (initial separation using 1:1 Methanol and H2O and second extraction using 8:1:1 of Acetonitrile:Acetone:Methanol). Untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) profiling was performed using fractionation on a Vanquish Horizon Binary UHPLC. Subsequent analyses were performed on an inline coupled Q-Exactive Orbitrap instrument. Metabolites were identified using Compound DiscovererTM software. Statistical analysis was performed using MetaboAnalyst 5.0.

Experimental gene expression of developmentally downregulated Crmp1, Crmp4, and Crmp5 promotes axon regeneration and retinal ganglion cell survival after optic nerve injury [third-party re-analysis]

Project description:Collapsin response mediator proteins (Crmps) play roles in neuronal development and axon growth. However, neuronal-specific roles of Crmp1, Crmp4, and Crmp5 in regeneration of injured central nervous system (CNS) axons in vivo are unclear. Here, we analyzed developmental and subtype-specific expression of Crmp genes in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), tested whether overexpressing Crmp1, Crmp4, or Crmp5 in RGCs through localized intralocular AAV2 delivery promotes axon regeneration after optic nerve injury in vivo, and characterized developmental co-regulation of gene-concept networks associated with Crmps. We found that all Crmp genes are developmentally downregulated in RGCs during maturation. However, while Crmp1, Crmp2, and Crmp4 were expressed to a varying degree in most RGC subtypes, Crmp3 and Crmp5 were expressed only in a small subset of RGC subtypes. We then found that after optic nerve injury, Crmp1, Crmp4, and Crmp5 promote RGC axon regeneration to varying extents, with Crmp4 promoting the most axon regeneration and also localizing to axons. We also found that Crmp1 and Crmp4, but not Crmp5, promote RGC survival. Finally, we found that Crmp1, Crmp2, Crmp4, and Crmp5's ability to promote axon regeneration is associated with neurodevelopmental mechanisms, which control RGC’s intrinsic axon growth capacity.

MicroRNA-19a-PTEN axis is involved in the developmental decline of axon regenerative capacity in retinal ganglion cells

Project description:Irreversible blindness from glaucoma and optic neuropathies is attributed to retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) losing the ability to regenerate axons. While several transcription factors and proteins have demonstrated enhancement of axon regeneration after optic nerve injury, mechanisms contributing to the age-related decline in axon regenerative capacity remains elusive. Here, we show that microRNAs are differentially expressed during RGC development, and identify microRNA-19a (miR-19a) as a heterochronic marker; developmental decline of miR-19a relieves suppression of PTEN, a key regulator of axon regeneration, and serves as a temporal indicator of decreasing axon regenerative capacity. Intravitreal injection of miR-19a promotes axon regeneration after optic nerve crush in adult mice, and increases axon extension in RGCs isolated from aged human donors. This uncovers a previously unrecognized involvement of the miR-19a-PTEN axis in RGC axon regeneration, and demonstrates therapeutic potential of microRNA-mediated restoration of axon regenerative capacity via intravitreal injection in patients with optic neuropathies.

Aldose reductase inhibition decelerates optic nerve degeneration by suppressing retinal microglia activation

Project description:To investigate the role of aldose reductase (AR) inhibition using Sorbinil on retinal microglia (RMG) activation, retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival, and axon regeneration after optic nerve trauma. We observed that AR inhibition using Sorbinil attenuates RMG activation and subsequently promotes RGC survival and delays axon degeneration one week after optic nerve crush.
