MicroRNA expression profiling in a mouse spinal cord injury model [P15 and P90, 12h and 3d]

ABSTRACT: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition resulting in permanent and irreversible deficits. Despite regeneration attempts, the neurons fail due to several dysfunctions. A number of studies have already revealed that, following SCI, microRNAs show two opposite kinds of alterations, one detrimental and one protective. However, there is still little evidence of specific microRNAs involved in axon regrowth. The aim of this project is the characterization of microRNA expression changes in sensorimotor cortex and corticospinal motor neurons, whose axons are severed by SCI.

Transcriptional profiling by array in rat of age-dependent gene expression in sensorimotor cortex following spinal cord injury

Project description:In this study, we investigated the extent and nature of the difference between the dynamic cortical gene expression profiles of aged (22-month-old) and young (2-month-old) rats following thoracic corticospinal tract (CST) transection and whether the anti-scarring-treatment (AST)-induced regeneration program can be activated in aged animals. GeneChip analysis was performed on layers V/VI of the rat sensorimotor cortex at 1, 7 and 35 days post operation (dpo), which represented the acute, subacute and chronic stages of SCI, respectively. Anti-scarring treatment (AST) includes local injections of an iron chelator and cAMP immediately after SCI. For our purpose we used the Affymetrix GeneChip Rat Gene 1.0 ST Array (A-AFFY-160) which contains approximately 27,000 genes.

Neuroligin 3 promotes functional recovery of spinal cord injury through coordinating with Sar1a and Hspa8 at synapses

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.

Identification of intrinsic growth modulators for intact CNS neurons after injury

Project description:Functional deficits persist after spinal cord injury (SCI) because axons in the adult mammalian central nervous system (CNS) fail to regenerate. However, modest levels of spontaneous functional recovery are typically observed after trauma, and are thought to be mediated by the plasticity of intact circuits. The mechanisms underlying intact circuit plasticity are not delineated. Here, we characterize the in vivo transcriptome of sprouting intact neurons from ngr1 null mice after partial SCI. We identify the lysophosphatidic acid signaling modulators Lppr1 and Lpar1 as intrinsic axon growth modulators for intact corticospinal motor neurons after adjacent injury. Furthermore, in vivo Lpar1 inhibition or Lppr1 overexpression enhances sprouting of intact corticospinal tract axons and yields greater functional recovery after unilateral brainstem lesion in wild type mice. Thus, the transcriptional profile of injury-induced sprouting of intact neurons reveals targets for therapeutic enhancement of axon growth initiation and new synapse formation.

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.

Rationally designed, self-assembly, multifunctional hydrogel depot repairs severe spinal cord injury

Project description:Following severe spinal cord injury (SCI), dysregulated neuroinflammation causes neuronal and glial apoptosis, resulting in scar and cystic cavity formation during wound healing process and ultimately atrophic nerve regrowth inhibitory microenvironment. Because of this complex and dynamic nature of SCI pathophysiology, a systemic solution for scar and cavity free wound healing while remodeling microenvironment for nerve regrowth has been rarely explored. To address this challenge, we provided a one-step solution through a self-assembly, multifunctional hydrogel depot punctually releasing the anti-inflammatory drug methylprednisolone sodium succinate (MPSS) and growth factors locally according to its pathophysiology to repair severe SCI. We found release of growth factors alone could only provide some tissues/axons protection, but failed to eliminate all cystic cavity formation. Sustained release of MPSS is sufficient to modulate dysregulated neuroinflammation and eliminate almost all cystic cavity but unable to alleviate impenetrable scar boundaries, which are largely responsive for nerve regrowth failure. Strikingly, synergically releasing anti-inflammatory drugs MPSS and growth factors in the hydrogel depot along SCI pathophysiology protected spared tissues/axons from secondary injury, promoted scar boundary and cavity free wound healing and made permissive bridges for remarkable axonal regrowth. Behavior and electrophysiology studies indicated that the remnant of spared axons but not regenerating axons mediated functional recovery, strongly suggesting that additional interventions are still required to make the rebuilt neuronal circuits perform functions. Taken together, these findings pave the way to develop a systemic solution to treat acute SCI.

The regeneration transcriptome of corticospinal neurons

Project description:In the present study, we identify transcriptional mechanisms associated with corticospinal regeneration. We took advantage of the ability of NPC grafts to support corticospinal regeneration, together with a genetic mouse model (Glt25d2-GFP-L10a mice, in which a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) codes for GFP-tagged polyribosomes in layer 5b cortical neurons) to selectively enrich actively translated mRNA pools from layer Vb cortical projection neurons containing corticospinal neurons (Doyle et al., Cell 2008).

Smart-seq2 of spinal cord motoneurons in spinal cord injury model after dual electrical stimulation with specific frequencies

Project description:Electrical stimulation can augment or modify neuronal function and can have therapeutic benefits for certain neurological disorders. There is evidence that enhancing spinal excitability with either epidural or transcutaneous stimulation can restore some volitional motor output after spinal cord injury (SCI). Lumbosacral epidural stimulation temporarily improves locomotor and autonomic function in both rodents and humans with SCI. When combined with overground locomotor training enabled by a weight-supporting device, epidural electrical stimulation (EES) promotes extensive reorganization of residual neural pathways that improves locomotion after stopping stimulation. However, the exact mechanism underlying the reconstruction of spinal cord neural circuits with electrical stimulation is not yet known. Thus, we developed a epidural electrical and muscle stimulation(EEMS) system at the interface of the spinal cord and muscle to mimic feedforward and feedback electrical signals in spinal sensorimotor circuits. Using methods of motor function evaluation, neural circuit tracing and neural signal recording, we discovered a unique stimulus frequency of 10-20 Hz under EEMS conditions that was required for structural and functional reconstruction of spinal sensorimotor circuits. Single-cell transcriptome analysis of EEMS activated motoneurons characterized molecular networks involved in spinal sensorimotor circuit reconstruction. This study provides insights into neural signal decoding during spinal sensorimotor circuit reconstruction, and indicates a technological approach for the clinical treatment of SCI.
