MicroRNAs profiling of amniotic fluid: evidence of the synergism of microRNAs in directing axon guidance during development

ABSTRACT: Amniotic fluid is critical for the development of foetus, which provides the appropriate conditions for foetus growth. Besides its presumed traditional roles of providing movement place and protecting from crushing, amniotic fluid is considered to have more important roles in the nervous development of foetus respecting nervous related compositions and close contact with the skin of foetus. Peripheral nervous sensory system is the feeling basis for the body with neuritis anchoring on the surface of skin. The effect of amniotic fluid on the development of peripheral sensory nervous system is unknown. To disclose the relationship between amniotic fluid and peripheral sensory nervous system, we profiled microRNAs dynamic expression in amniotic fluid during the stages of E13, E15 and E17. The cluster analysis results showed that there were significantly two different expression profiles of microRNAs during this development stage. The followed informatics analysis results showed that these two groups of microRNAs synergistically regulate the axon guidance process. Axon tracing by fluorogold and co-labelled immunofluorescence results indicated that there was a direct interaction between amniotic fluid and peripheral sensory nervous system in axon guidance. Taken together, our work is helpful to understand the development of peripheral sensory nervous system of foetus.

Sc-RNA seq for intrinsic mechanisms of distinct axonal growth capacity in different peripheral sensory neuron subtypes

Project description:Dorsal root ganglion neurons are the primary neurons of the sensory afferent pathway and are a heterogeneous population. Dorsal root ganglion neurons exhibit a wide range of terminal morphologies, complex central projection patterns, and different physiological properties, which allow them to adapt to various sensory stimulation modalities and transmit the corresponding sensory information to the central nervous system. Here, we used single-cell sequencing technology to explore the mechanisms behind the differences in axonal lengths in DRG neurons cultured in vitro. The single-cell sequencing data grouped by axon length were compared and analyzed to find core genes that may be closely related to axon length in a list of differentially expressed genes that significantly change with axon length; as well as to explore whether these genes also play an important role in the process of axon regeneration after peripheral nerve injury.

Self-renewing macrophages in dorsal root ganglia contribute to promote nerve regeneration

Project description:Primary sensory neurons with cell soma in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) project axons in both the peripheral nervous system and the spinal cord. Whereas the peripheral axon can regenerate after injury, the central axon cannot, providing an opportunity to identify the mechanisms that promote axon regeneration. Using this system, multiple intrinsic mechanisms operating in sensory neurons have been shown to promote axon regeneration. Peripheral sensory neurons also benefit from a supportive environment. In particular, macrophages play important roles in nerve regeneration by clearing debris and regulating Schwann cell function at the site of injury in the nerve. Nerve macrophages have been characterized at the molecular level and derive for the most part from infiltrating monocytes. However, the role and origin of macrophages in the DRG remains poorly understood. Following a 14-days treatment with a CSF1R inhibitor, less than 10% of macrophages remained in the DRG. Recovery from this treatment resulted in a dramatic macrophage repopulation, with the number of DRG macrophages reaching level similar to untreated mice three days post injury. These repopulated DRG macrophages contribute to promote axon regeneration. Our scRNA-seq analysis allow in-depth characterization of the repopulated DRG macrophages in response to nerve injury. These data will provide a better understanding of DRG macrophages and the molecular mechanisms by which they contribute to peripheral nerve repair. These studies may lead to new potential targets to promote axon regeneration.

scRNAseq analysis of mouse L4 whole dorsal root ganglions following sciatic nerve cush, dorsal root crush and spinal cord injury

Project description:After an injury in the adult mammalian central nervous system, lesioned axons fail to regenerate. This failure to regenerate contrasts with the remarkable potential of axons to grow following an injury in the peripheral nervous system. Peripheral sensory neurons with cell soma in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) switch to a regenerative state after nerve injury to enable axon regeneration and functional recovery. Decades of research have focused on the signaling pathways elicited by injury in sensory neurons and in Schwann cells that insulate axons as central mechanisms regulating nerve repair. However, neuronal microenvironment is far more complex and is composed of multiple cell types including endothelial, immune and glial cells. Whether the microenvironment surrounding neuronal soma contribute to the poor regenerative outcomes following central injuries remains largely unexplored. To answer this question, we performed a single cell transcriptional profiling of the DRG neuronal microenvironment response to peripheral and central injuries. In dissecting the roles of the microenvironment contribution, we have focused on a poorly studied glia population of Satellite Glial Cells (SGC) surrounding the neuronal cell soma. Upon a peripheral injury, SGC contribute to axon regeneration via Fatty acid synthase (Fasn)-PPARα signaling pathway. Our analysis reveals that in response to central injuries, SGC do not activate the PPAR signaling pathway. However, induction of this pathway with fenofibrate, an FDA- approved PPARα agonist used for dyslipidemia treatment, rescued axon regeneration following an injury to the central nerves. Collectively, our results uncovered a previously unappreciated role of the neuronal microenvironment differential response in central and peripheral injuries.

Single-cell analysis of Rohon-Beard neurons implicates Fgf signaling in axon maintenance and cell survival [larva]

Project description:Peripheral sensory neurons are a critical part of the nervous system that transmit a multitude of sensory stimuli to the central nervous system. During larval and juvenile stages in zebrafish, this function is mediated by Rohon-Beard somatosensory neurons (RBs). RBs are optically accessible and amenable to experimental manipulation, making them a powerful system for mechanistic investigation of sensory neurons. Previous studies provided evidence that RBs fall into multiple subclasses; however, the number and molecular make up of these potential RB subtypes have not been well defined. Using a single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) approach, we demonstrate that larval RBs in zebrafish fall into three, largely non-overlapping classes of neurons. We also show that RBs are molecularly distinct from trigeminal neurons in zebrafish. Cross-species transcriptional analysis indicates that one RB subclass is similar to a mammalian group of A-fiber sensory neurons. Another RB subclass is predicted to sense multiple modalities, including mechanical stimulation and chemical irritants. We leveraged our scRNA-seq data to determine that the fibroblast growth factor (Fgf) pathway is active in RBs. Pharmacological and genetic inhibition of this pathway led to defects in axon maintenance and RB cell death. Moreover, this phenotype can be phenocopied by treatment with an FDA-approved Fgf inhibitor dovitinib, which is used in clinic and causes peripheral neuropathy. Importantly, dovitinib-mediated axon loss can be suppressed by loss of Sarm1, a positive regulator of neuronal cell death and axonal injury. This offers a molecular target for future clinical intervention to fight neurotoxic effects of this drug.

Circulating MicroRNA: Myocardium-Derived Prenatal Biomarker of Ventricular Septal Defects

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate transcription factors and relate to ventricular septal defect (VSD) occurrence, progression and outcome. Recently, circulating miRNAs from maternal blood and amniotic fluid have been used as biomarkers for congenital heart defect (CHD) diagnosis. However, whether circulating miRNAs are associated with foetal heart tissue remains unknown. Dimethadione (DMO) induced a VSD rat model and the miRNA expression profiles of the myocardium, amniotic fluid and maternal serum were analysed. MiRNAs were differentially expressed in the myocardium, amniotic fluid or maternal serum of VSD foetal rats and might be involved in cardiomyocyte differentiation and apoptosis.

Transcription profiling of trigeminal ganglia of Brn3a knockout and wild type mice to determine the regulatory targets of transcription factor Brn3a.

Project description:Mice lacking the POU-domain transcription factor Brn3a exhibit marked defects in sensory axon growth and abnormal sensory apoptosis. We have determined the regulatory targets of Brn3a in the developing trigeminal ganglion using microarray analysis of Brn3a mutant mice. These results show that Brn3 mediates the coordinated expression of neurotransmitter systems, ion channels, structural components of axons and inter- and intracellular signaling systems. Loss of Brn3a also results in the ectopic expression of transcription factors normally detected in earlier developmental stages and in other areas of the nervous system. Target gene expression is normal in heterozygous mice, consistent with prior work showing that autoregulation by Brn3a results in gene dosage compensation. Detailed examination of the expression of several of these downstream genes reveals that the regulatory role of Brn3a in the trigeminal ganglion appears to be conserved in more posterior sensory ganglia but not in the CNS neurons that express this factor. Experiment Overall Design: Microarrays used to compare the patterns of gene expression in the trigeminal ganglia of Brn3a knockout and wild-type mice. Embryonic day 13.5 (E13.5) was chosen because at this point in development mutant mice exhibit major defects in sensory axon growth, but have yet to undergo the period of extensive sensory neuron death associated with later stages.

Genipin rescues developmental and degenerative defects in familial dysautonomia models and accelerates axon regeneration

Project description:The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is essential for proper body function. A high percentage of the world’s population suffers nerve degeneration or peripheral nerve damage. Despite this, there are major gaps in the knowledge of human PNS development and degeneration and therefore, there are no available treatments. Familial Dysautonomia (FD) is a devastating disorder caused by a homozygous point mutation in the gene ELP1. FD specifically affects the development and causes degeneration of the PNS. We previously employed patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to show that peripheral sensory neurons (SNs) recapitulate the developmental and neurodegenerative defects observed in FD. Here, we conducted a chemical screen to identify compounds that rescue the SN differentiation inefficiency in FD. We identified that genipin restores neural crest and SN development in patient derived iPSCs and in two mouse models of FD. Additionally, genipin prevented FD degeneration in SNs derived from patients with FD, suggesting that it could be used to ameliorate neurodegeneration. Moreover, genipin crosslinked the extracellular matrix (ECM), increased the stiffness of the ECM, reorganized the actin cytoskeleton, and promoted transcription of YAP-dependent genes. Finally, genipin enhanced axon regeneration in healthy sensory and sympathetic neurons (part of the PNS), and in prefrontal cortical neurons (part of the central nervous system), in in vitro axotomy models. Our results suggest that genipin has the potential to treat FD-related neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative phenotypes, and to enhance neuronal regeneration of healthy neurons after injury. Moreover, this suggests that the ECM can be targeted to treat FD.
