Changes in miRNAs in the dorsal root ganglion after CNS injury and intramuscular neurotrophin-3 treatment

ABSTRACT: Brain and spinal injury often impair sensorimotor processing in the spinal cord and reduce mobility. We established that complete transection of corticospinal pathways in the pyramids leads to increased spasms, excessive mono- and polysynaptic spinal reflexes and impaired locomotion in rats. Intramuscular neurotrophin-3 treatment at a clinically-feasible time-point after injury reduced these signs of spasticity. We found Neurotrophin-3 reduced spastic movements and improved neurophysiological sensorimotor control. Furthermore, the balance of inhibitory and excitatory synapses in the cord and the level of an ion transporter in motor neuron membranes required for normal reflexes were normalized. We discovered that Neurotrophin-3 is transported in sensory afferents from muscles to the dorsal root ganglia. Using genome-wide small RNA sequencing of the whole cervical level 6-8 dorsal root ganglia, we explored miRNA changes in afferent neurons that were present 10 weeks after bilateral pyramidotomy. Many of the dysregulated genes are involved in axon guidance and plasticity. Intramuscular neurotrophin-3 treatment normalized many of those gene changes and may be one of the mechanisms how reflexes, functional recovery and molecular markers in the spinal cord are restored. This identifies neurotrophin-3 as a therapy that treats the underlying causes of spasticity and not only its symptoms.

Changes in mRNA in the dorsal root ganglion after stroke and subcutaneous neurotrophin-3 infusion in elderly rats

Project description:Brain and spinal injury often impair sensorimotor processing in the spinal cord and reduce mobility. Cortical stroke in rats leads to long-term deficits in dexterity and walking. Subcutaneous neurotrophin-3 infusion initiated at a clinically-feasible time-point after injury improved walking and dexterity. We discovered that Neurotrophin-3 is transported in sensory afferents from muscles to the dorsal root ganglia. Using genome-wide RNA sequencing of the whole cervical level 6-8 dorsal root ganglia, we sought gene changes in afferent neurons that were present at two timepoints after stroke.

Transcriptome map of dorsal root ganglion and spinal cord in mice with acute herpetic neuralgia induced by HSV-1

Project description:To study the gene expression at the level of dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord in acute herpetic neuralgia mice, we induced acute herpetic neuralgia by subcutaneous injection of HSV-1 virus fluid into the tibia of C57/6J mice. We collected data obtained from RNA-seq of dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord tissue in acute herpetic neuralgia mice (7 days after virus injection) and control mice for gene expression profiling.

Transcription profiling time series of Rattus norvegicus raphe magnus and sensorimotor cortex samples following moderate spinal cord 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.

Expression data from adult rat tail MNs after spinal cord transection

Project description:Spinal cord injury leads to impaired motor and sensory functions. After spinal cord injury there is a an initial phase of hypo-reflexia followed by a developing hyper-reflexia, often termed spasticity. Previous studies have suggested a relationship between the reappearence of plateau potentials in motor neurons and the development of spasticity after spinalization. To understand the molecular mechanism behind this phenomenon we examined the transcriptional response of the motor neurons after spinal cord injury. We used a rat tail injury model where a complete transection of the caudal (S2) rat spinal cord leads to an immidate flaccid paralysis of the tail and a subsequent appearence of spasticity 2-3 weeks post injury that develops into strong spasticity after 2 months. Gene expression changes were studied in motor neurons 21 and 60 days after complete spinal transection where the tail exhibits clear signs of spasticity. Tail MNs were retorgradely labelled with flourogold injected into the muscle and intra peritoneally. 5-7 days after tracer injections the spinal cord was dissected out, snab frozen in liquid nitrogen, sliced in 10 um thick slices and fluorescent motor neurons were laser dissected into a collector tube to a total of ca. 50-200 cells pr sample. RNA was then extracted, two round amplified and hybridized to Affymetrix rat 230 2.0 arays. 27 samples were hybridized onto chips, 8 Spi-21, 8 Spi-60, 6 ShamC-21 and 5 ShamC-60.

Previous studies have suggested a relationship between the reappearance of plateau potentials in motor neurons and the development of spasticity after spinalization. To understand the molecular mechanism behind this phenomena we examined the transcriptional response of the motor neurons after spinal cord injury as it progress over time.

Gene expression changes were studied in motor neurones 0, 2, 7, 21 and 60 days after complete spinal transection. Tail MNs were retrogradely labelled with Fluoro-Gold injected into the muscle and intra peritoneally. 5-7 days after tracer injections the spinal cord was dissected out, snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen, sliced in 10 um thick slices and fluorescent motor neurons were laser dissected into a collector tube to a total of ca. 50-200 cells pr sample. RNA was then extracted, two round amplified and hybridized to Affymetrix rat 230 2.0 arays. 31 samples were hybridized onto chips, 4 Spi-0 (Control), 6 Spi-2, 5 Spi-7, 8 Spi-21 and 8 Spi-60.

Astrocyte-encoded positional cues maintain sensorimotor circuit integrity

Project description:Astrocytes, the most abundant cells in the central nervous system, promote synapse formation and help refine neural connectivity. Although they are allocated to spatially distinct regional domains during development, it is unknown whether region-restricted astrocytes are functionally heterogeneous. Here we show that postnatal spinal cord astrocytes express several region-specific genes, and that ventral astrocyte-encoded Semaphorin3a (Sema3a) is required for proper motor neuron and sensory neuron circuit organization. Loss of astrocyte-encoded Sema3a led to dysregulated α−motor neuron axon initial segment orientation, markedly abnormal synaptic inputs, and selective death of α−but not of adjacent γ−motor neurons. Additionally, a subset of TrkA+ sensory afferents projected to ectopic ventral positions. These findings demonstrate that stable maintenance of a positional cue by developing astrocytes influences multiple aspects of sensorimotor circuit formation. More generally, they suggest that regional astrocyte heterogeneity may help to coordinate postnatal neural circuit refinement. 12 total samples consisting of three biological replicates each of flow sorted postnatal day 7 dorsal spinal cord astrocytes, ventral spinal cord astrocytes, dorsal SC non astrocytes, and ventral SC non astrocytes
