MAPseq data of mouse corticospinal neurons with respect to laterality

ABSTRACT: The spinal cord receives inputs from the cortex via corticospinal neurons (CSNs). While predominantly a contralateral projection, a less-investigated minority of its axons terminate in the ipsilateral spinal cord. We analyzed the spatial and molecular properties of these ipsilateral axons and their post-synaptic targets in mice and found they project primarily to the ventral horn, including directly to motor neurons. Barcode-based reconstruction of the ipsilateral axons revealed a class of primarily bilaterally-projecting CSNs with a distinct cortical distribution. The molecular properties of these ipsilaterally-projecting CSNs (IP-CSNs) are strikingly similar to the previously described molecular signature of embryonic-like regenerating CSNs. Finally, we show that IP-CSNs are spontaneously regenerative after spinal cord injury. The discovery of a class of spontaneously regenerative CSNs may prove valuable to the study of spinal cord injury. Additionally, this work suggests that the retention of juvenile-like characteristics may be a widespread phenomenon in adult nervous systems. This data set comprises the MPASeq experiment.

NMLF response to spinal cord injury in Zebrafish

Project description:The study was designed to identify genes regulated after spinal transection that might contribute to regenerative growth of neurons projecting from the NMLF in Zebrafish. Zebrafish were injured by surgical transection of the spinal cord at 1 mm caudal to the brainstem-spinal cord junction (Injured). Animals receiving sham surgery (identical surgical procedures without transection) served as control (Control). The nucleus of the medial longitudinal fascicle (NMLF) was laser capture microdissected from approximately 30 frozen sections. RNA was prepared, amplified, and run on Affymetrix Zebrafish arrays. Zebrafish were used because they recover swimming function after spinal transection in about 6 weeks. The NMLF has been identified as a prominent group of neurons that descend through the site of injury in the spinal cord and that regenerate after injury. Times were selected to distinguish early events from those in the timeframe of regenerative growth.

Project description:Analysis of expression changes in prelabeled laser-microdissected thoracic propriospinal neurons at different times after low-thoracic spinal cord transection in adult rats. Propriospinal neurons projecting to the lumbar enlargement were captured at various time points following no lesion or low thoracic spinal cord transection.

Identify a panel of transcripts that exhibited differential expression between spinal cord motor neurons (spMNs) with low and high regenerative abilities

Project description:The mammalian neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) fail to regenerate their axons after injury, while the adult peripheral nervous system (PNS) neurons can regenerate their axons robustly. Promoting the intrinsic regenerative capacity of CNS neurons after injury is potential way to solve this difficulty. For this purpose, we have identified a panel of transcripts that exhibited differential expression between spinal cord motor neurons (spMNs) with low and high regenerative abilities by using retrograde tracing and single-cell RNA sequencing.

Danio spinal cord injury

Project description:Adult zebrafish have the ability to recover from spinal cord injury and exhibit re-growth of descending axons from the brainstem to the spinal cord. We performed gene expression analysis using microarray to find damage-induced genes after spinal cord injury, which shows that Sox11b mRNA is up-regulated at 11 days after injury. However, the functional relevance of Sox11b for regeneration is not known. Here, we report that the up-regulation of Sox11b mRNA after spinal cord injury is mainly localized in ependymal cells lining the central canal and in newly differentiating neuronal precursors or immature neurons. Using an in vivo morpholino-based gene knockout approach, we demonstrate that Sox11b is essential for locomotor recovery after spinal cord injury. In the injured spinal cord, expression of the neural stem cell associated gene, Nestin, and the proneural gene Ascl1a (Mash1a), which are involved in the self-renewal and cell fate specification of endogenous neural stem cells, respectively, is regulated by Sox11b. Our data indicate that Sox11b promotes neuronal determination of endogenous stem cells and regenerative neurogenesis after spinal cord injury in the adult zebrafish. Enhancing Sox11b expression to promote proliferation and neurogenic determination of endogenous neural stem cells after injury may be a promising strategy in restorative therapy after spinal cord injury in mammals. Spinal cord injury or control sham injury was performed on adult zebrafish. After 4, 12, or 264 hrs, a 5 mm segment of spinal cord was dissected and processed (as a pool from 5 animals) in three replicate groups for each time point and treatment.

Transcription profiling of mouse rat cortical axons from un-injured and injured animals isolated after 13 days in culture

Project description:Efficient growth cone regeneration requires protein synthesis in the adult mammalian brain and spinal cord. Recent evidence suggests that the local availability of protein synthesis machinery in adult mammalian axons may be an indicator of their regenerative capacity. Here we investigated the local protein synthesis capacity in matured cortical axons, which have poor regenerative capacity, yet are critical for recovery following injury due to traumatic brain injury and stroke. This work is the first to biochemically isolate and identify mRNA from mammalian cortical axons, making use of a unique microfluidic platform to isolate axons free of other cellular debris. We first sought to identify mRNA in naÃ¯ve axons that makes up the pool of mRNA available for translation initiated following axotomy. Next, we investigated changes in the mRNA population localized to axons 2 days following axotomy and growth cone regeneration. Experiment Overall Design: Cortical axons were harvested using the compartmentalized microfluidic platform after 13 days in culture at a time when they express mature synaptic proteins. A total of 7 Genechips were used for the uninjured cortical axons from 3 different culture batches. 3 Genechips were used for neurons isolated from the neuronal compartment of the microfluidic platfrom. The neuronal Genechip were used to compare mRNA populations with axonal Genechips and for quality control purposes. 3 Genechips were used for regenerating axons; for these, axons were axotomized at 11 days in culture, then allowed to regrow for 2 days before harvesting.

Expression data from embryonic mouse cervical spinal cords

Project description:Mammalian motor circuits control voluntary movements by transmitting signals from the central nervous system (CNS) to muscle targets. To form these circuits, motor neurons (MNs) must extend their axons out of the CNS. Although motor axon exit from the CNS is an indispensable phase of motor axon pathfinding, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain obscure. Here, we present the first identification of a genetic pathway that¬†regulates motor axon exit from the vertebrate spinal cord, utilizing spinal accessory motor neurons (SACMN) as a model system. SACMN are a homogeneous population of spinal MNs whose axons leave the CNS through a discrete lateral exit point (LEP) and can be visualized by the expression of the cell surface protein, BEN. We show that the homeodomain transcription factor, Nkx2.9, is selectively required for SACMN axon exit and identify the Robo2 guidance receptor as a likely downstream effector of Nkx2.9; loss of Nkx2.9 leads to a reduction in Robo2 mRNA and protein within SACMN and SACMN axons fail to exit the spinal cord in Robo2-deficient mice. Consistent with short-range interactions between Robo2 and Slit ligands regulating SACMN axon exit, Robo2-expressing SACMN axons normally navigate through LEP-associated Slits as they emerge from the spinal cord, and fail to exit in Slit-deficient mice. Our studies support the view that Nkx2.9 controls SACMN axon exit from the mammalian spinal cord by regulating Robo-Slit signaling. We utilized microarray technology to identify novel downstream effectors of the homeodomain transcription factor, Nkx2.9, that regulate spinal accessory motor neuron development.
