Project description:Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to loss of locomotor function. Neuroplasticity of spinal circuitry underlies some functional recovery and therefore represents a therapeutic target to improve locomotor function following SCI. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms mediating neuroplasticity below the lesion level are not fully understood. The present study performed a gene expression profiling in the rat lumbar spinal cord at 1 and 3 weeks after contusive SCI at T9 compared to control rat that received sham injury (laminectomy). The below-level gene expression profiles were compared with those of animals that were subjected to treadmill locomotor training. Rat lumbar spinal cords were taken for the microarray analysis at 1 and 3 weeks after contusive spinal cord injury at the T9 level. Another group of rats received treadmill locomotor training for 3 weeks, and theirs spinal cords were harvested for the microarray. The changes in gene expression after spinal cord injury were analyzed at the two time points. The influence of treadmill locomotor training was evaluated by comparing gene expression profiles between animals with or without treadmill training.

Project description:OL translatome was determined in female RiboTag:Plp1-CreERT2 mice (C57Bl6 background) at 2, 10, and, 42 days after moderate contusive T9 SCI. Ribotag expression was induced by daily tamoxifen injections (1 mg i.p. over 8 days). Three weeks after completion of the induction protocol moderate contusive SCI was performed at T9 level (IH imactor, 50 kdyn). Uninjured mice (naive) were used as controls. At the time of surgery, animal age was 10-12 weeks. After euthanasia, RNA was isolated from a 5 mm spinal cord segment spanning the injury epicenter. OL tranlsatome was immunopurified using anti-HA antibody and protein A/G coupled magnetic beads following the Ribotag protocol. Total spinal cord RNA and OL translatome RNA samples were analyzed by RNASeq. Each biological sample was prepared by pooling material from two mice (3 biological samples representing 6 animals were used for each timepoint).

Project description:Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most disabling health problems facing adults today. Locomotor training has been shown to induce substantial recovery in muscle size and muscle function in both transected and contusion injury animal models of SCI. The overall objective of this study is to implement genome wide expression profiling of skeletal muscle to define the molecular pathways associated with muscle remodeling after SCI and during locomotor training (TM). We profiled rat soleus of total 36 samples including controls; 3, 8 and 14 days after SCI; 8 and 14 days after SCI with locomotor treadmill training (TM).

Project description:The recovery of locomotor function following incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) primarily relies on the precise reconstruction of synaptic communications between spared corticospinal tract (CST) axons and propriospinal neurons. However, components capable of rebuilding synaptic machinery after injury remain elusive. Here, using RNA-Seq of human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hUC-MSCs) before and after transplantation in SCI rats, along with in vitro and in vivo functional screenings, we identified Neuroligin 3 (NLGN3) as a spinal cord microenvironment (SCE)-activated cell adhesion molecule (CAM) in hUC-MSCs, promoting MSC-mediated functional recovery of SCI. Importantly, spinal neuron-specific activation of Nlgn3 led to significant functional improvement in SCI rats, resembling the effects of hUC-MSC transplantation. We elucidated the protein interactome of Nlgn3, enriched with proteins involved in synaptic transmission. Specifically, Nlgn3 interacted with synaptic vesicle (SV)-associated proteins, Sar1a and Hspa8, modulating their recruitment at synapses. Remarkably, restoring either of these two proteins in injured spinal neurons improved locomotor recovery of SCI, with further enhancement when combined with Nlgn3. Thus, our results not only reveal the previously unknown therapeutic effect of Nlgn3 in SCI repair but also propose a novel approach for treating SCI by targeting protein complexes centered around Nlgn3. This study also suggests that MSCs can serve as a stem cell platform for identifying innovative therapeutic targets and mechanisms to reestablish corticospinal-spinal relay circuits after SCI.

Project description:In homeostasis, because of the blood-brain barrier, immune cells rarely infiltrate the central nervous system (CNS). However, after spinal cord injury (SCI), many cells, including both myeloid and T cells, infiltrate the spinal cord. However, the role immune cells play in SCI remains controversial. We are curious whether after SCI there are self-peptides that are released and sensed by T cells that then modulate response to CNS injury.

Project description:Summary: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a damage to the spinal cord induced by trauma or disease resulting in a loss of mobility or feeling. SCI is characterized by a primary mechanical injury followed by a secondary injury in which several molecular events are altered in the spinal cord often resulting in loss of neuronal function. Analysis of the areas directly (spinal cord) and indirectly (raphe and sensorimotor cortex) affected by injury will help understanding mechanisms of SCI. Hypothesis: Areas of the brain primarily affected by spinal cord injury are the Raphe and the Sensorimotor cortex thus gene expression profiling these two areas might contribute understanding the mechanisms of spinal cord injury. Specific Aim: The project aims at finding significantly altered genes in the Raphe and Sensorimotor cortex following an induced moderate spinal cord injury in T9.

Project description:Summary: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a damage to the spinal cord induced by trauma or disease resulting in a loss of mobility or feeling. SCI is characterized by a primary mechanical injury followed by a secondary injury in which several molecular events are altered in the spinal cord often resulting in loss of neuronal function. Hypothesis: Spinal cord injury (SCI) induces a cascade of molecular events including the activation of genes associated with transcription factors, inflammation, oxidative stress, ionic imbalance, apoptosis and neuroregeneration which suggests the existance of endogenous reparative attempts. However, not all mechanisms following SCI are well known. Specific Aim: The goal of this project is to analyze the molecular events following spinal cord injury 1 cm above, below, and at the site of injury (T9), aiming at finding potential new targets to improve recovery and therapy.

Project description:Purpose: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating neurological disease without effective treatment. To generate a comprehensive view of the mechanisms involved in SCI pathology, we applied RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) technology to characterize the temporal changes in global gene expression after contusive SCI in mice. Method Part1: A total of 27 female C57BI/6J mice (10-16 weeks of age; 20-25g; The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME) were used with 9 mice in each of following groups: shame control, 2 and 7 days after SCI. The surgical procedure for SCI were described previously [PMID:23289019]. Briefly, after anesthetization with a mixed solution of ketamine (80 mg/kg, ip) and xylazine (10 mg/kg, ip), mice received a dorsal laminectomy at the 9th thoracic vertebral (T9) level to expose the spinal cord and then a moderate T9 contusive injury using an Infinite Horizons impactor (PrecisionSystems and Instrumentation) at 60 kdyn with the spinestabilized using steel stabilizers inserted under the transverse processes one vertebra above and below the injury [PMID:19196178] . The shame control mice received only a dorsal laminectomy without contusive injury. Afterwards, the wound was sutured in layers, bacitracin ointment(Qualitest Pharmaceuticals,Huntsville, AL) was applied tothe wound area, 0.1mL of a 20 mg/ml stock of gentamicin(ButlerSchein, Dublin, OH) was injected subcutaneously, and the animals recovered on a water-circulating heating pad. Then mice received analgesic agent, buprenorphin(0.05 mg/kg, SQ; Reckitt Benckise, Hull, England)twice a day for two days. Bladders were manually expressed until automatic voiding returned spontaneously, which generally was within 7 days. At 2 or 7 days after SCI, the mice were anesthetized again with ketamine and xylazine and perfused briefly with normal physical saline. The injured spinal cords were then dissected and three 0.5 mm pieces of spinal cord were cut in the injured epicenter. All spinal cords were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and processed for RNA isolation. The spinal cords from three mice were combined into one biological replicate for RNA extraction. Three biological replicates were used. Method Part2: RNA-Seq was performed on the polyadenylated fraction of RNA isolated from tissue samples of acute (2D) and subacute phase (7D) and normal tissues (control, denoted as CTR hereafter). Three biological replicates were used for each phase.150-300 ng total RNAs were used for each sequencing library. RNA samples were polyA selected and paired-end sequencing libraries were constructed using TruSeq RNA Sample Prep Kit as described in the TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation V2 Guide (Illumina).The samples were then sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq sequencer. More than 30 million 100bp paired-end reads were generated from each biological replicate. Method Part3: Read mapping and Transcriptome construction were done by using optimized pipeline which integrate Tophat followed by Cufflinks. Result: We sequenced tissue samples from acute and subacute phases (2 days and 7 days after injury) and systematically characterized the transcriptomes with the goal of identifying pathways and genes critical in SCI pathology. The top enriched functional categories include ‘inflammation response’, ‘neurological disease’, ‘cell death and survival’ and ‘nervous system development’. The top enriched pathways include LXR/RXR Activation and Atherosclerosis Signaling etc. Furthermore, we developed a systems-based analysis framework in order to identify key determinants in the global gene networks of the acute and sub-acute phases. Some candidate genes that we identified have been shown to play important roles in SCI, which demonstrates the validity of our approach. There are also many genes whose functions in SCI have not been well studied and can be further investigated by future experiments. We have also incorporated pharmacogenomic information into our analyses. Among the genes identified, the ones with existing drug information can be readily tested in SCI animal models. Conclusion: in this study we have described an example of how global gene profiling can be translated to screening genes of interest and generating new hypotheses. Additionally, the RNA-seq enables splicing isoform identification and the estimation of expression levels, thus providing useful information for increasing the specificity of drug design and reducing potential side effect. In summary, these results provide a valuable reference data resource for a better understanding of the SCI process in the acute and sub-acute phases. mRNA profiles of Acute/subacute phase Spinal Cord Injury sample from mice were generated by RNA-sequencing using Illumina HiSeq.
