Transcriptional Changes in Rat Dorsal Root Ganglia Neurons During Stretch-Mediated Axon Growth

ABSTRACT: The development of meter-long axons within the nervous system is a remarkable, yet unresolved biological process. The most widely studied aspects of neuronal growth focus on the extension and chemotropism of growth cones. However, over the course of organismal development, short axons elongate up to one meter in length with the systemic expansion of mitotic tissues. The preeminent regulatory mechanism for such synchronized growth between the nervous system and the tissues it spans, is the biomechanical stretch of axons, a known stimulus of axon growth. Here, we reveal the transcriptional profile of stretch-mediated axon growth as found using embryonic rat dorsal root ganglia neurons stretch-grown in vitro.

PTEN inhibition dedifferentiates long-distance axon-regenerating intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells and upregulates mitochondria-associated DYNLT1A and LARS2

Project description:The central nervous system (CNS) projection neurons fail to spontaneously regenerate injured axons. Targeting the developmentally regulated genes in order to reactivate embryonic intrinsic axon growth capacity, or targeting tumor suppressor genes such as Pten, promote axon regeneration in a subset of injured retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). The subset of RGCs that regenerate axons in response to inhibition of Pten was narrowed-down to the Opn4+ intrinsically photosensitive (ip) and α subtypes of RGCs. Here, we used single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) to investigate why only a subset of injured RGCs regenerate axons in response to Pten knockdown (KD), and to characterize the relationship between axon regeneration promoted by targeting Pten and the developmental decline in intrinsic axon growth capacity. We found that, only the most similar to embryonic state ipRGC subtypes C33 and C40 regenerated axons in response to Pten KD, which dedifferentiated them even further towards an embryonic state. We also found that genes downstream of Pten KD, specifically in the RGCs that regenerated axons, include mitochondria-associated developmentally regulated and non-developmentally regulated Dynlt1a and Lars2, respectively, which promoted axon regeneration on their own. Overall, we show that injury itself reverts transcriptome towards an embryonic state only in some neuronal subtypes and not sufficiently close to embryonic state to confer response to Pten KD, whereas certain mature neuronal subtypes are similar to embryonic state even without injury, which primes them to regenerate axons in response to Pten KD, that dedifferentiates them further towards an embryonic state and upregulates mitochondria-associated Dynlt1a and Lars2.

Experimental gene expression of developmentally downregulated Crmp1, Crmp4, and Crmp5 promotes axon regeneration and retinal ganglion cell survival after optic nerve injury [bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:Collapsin response mediator proteins (Crmps) play roles in neuronal development and axon growth. However, neuronal-specific roles of Crmp1, Crmp4, and Crmp5 in regeneration of injured central nervous system (CNS) axons in vivo are unclear. Here, we analyzed developmental and subtype-specific expression of Crmp genes in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), tested whether overexpressing Crmp1, Crmp4, or Crmp5 in RGCs through localized intralocular AAV2 delivery promotes axon regeneration after optic nerve injury in vivo, and characterized developmental co-regulation of gene-concept networks associated with Crmps. We found that all Crmp genes are developmentally downregulated in RGCs during maturation. However, while Crmp1, Crmp2, and Crmp4 were expressed to a varying degree in most RGC subtypes, Crmp3 and Crmp5 were expressed only in a small subset of RGC subtypes. We then found that after optic nerve injury, Crmp1, Crmp4, and Crmp5 promote RGC axon regeneration to varying extents, with Crmp4 promoting the most axon regeneration and also localizing to axons. We also found that Crmp1 and Crmp4, but not Crmp5, promote RGC survival. Finally, we found that Crmp1, Crmp2, Crmp4, and Crmp5's ability to promote axon regeneration is associated with neurodevelopmental mechanisms, which control RGC’s intrinsic axon growth capacity.

Structural plasticity of actin-spectrin membrane skeleton and functional role of actin and spectrin in axon degeneration

Project description:Axon degeneration sculpts precise patterns of connectivity in the developing nervous system and is an early pathological hallmark of several adult-onset neurodegenerative disorders. Substantial progress has been made in identifying effector mechanisms that drive axon fragmentation, but far less is known about the upstream signaling pathways that initiate this process. Here we describe a role for the newly discovered axonal Membrane-associated Periodic Skeleton (MPS) –a quasi-1D periodic ultrastructure composed of actin, spectrin and associated molecules– during sensory axon degeneration. We find that trophic deprivation (TD) of sensory axons causes a rapid breakdown in the periodicity of the MPS in distal axons. These structural changes occur prior to and independently of caspase-driven axon fragmentation. We further show that acute actin destabilization to break down the MPS can initiate TD-related retrograde signaling. Actin stabilization prevents MPS breakdown during TD and blocks this signal. Moreover, deletion of βII-spectrin (Sptbn1), an obligate component of the MPS, suppresses this retrograde signaling and protects axons against degeneration. Together our data suggest that ultrastructural plasticity of the MPS underlies the earliest steps of axon degeneration.

Cardiac Stretch-Induced Transcriptomic Changes are Axis-Dependent

Project description:The goal of this study was to examine the effect of the major axis of biaxial mechanical stretch on cardiac myocyte gene expression and to identify the signaling pathways and transcription factors regulating these changes. Neonatal cardiac myocytes were cultured on a micropatterned substrate, and the primary stretch axis was applied either parallel or transverse to the myofibril direction. RNA sequencing was conducted to study whole genomic expression changes after acute cardiac myocyte stretch. The results showed a more robust gene response to longitudinal than to transverse stretch. After 30 minutes of stretch, 53 and 168 genes were considered differentially expressed (DE) from transverse and longitudinal stretch, respectively. After 4 hours, the number of DE genes increased to 795 in longitudinal stretch while it decreased to 35 in transverse stretch. Gene ontology term (GO) analysis indicated enrichment of TF activity and protein kinase activity by both stretch axes; whereas longitudinal but not transverse stretch caused expression of genes involved in sarcomere organization and cytoskeletal protein binding.

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.

Post-injury born oligodendrocytes incorporate into the glial scar and contribute to the inhibition of axon regeneration

Project description:Pathologies of the central nervous system (CNS) white matter often result in permanent functional deficits because mature mammalian projection neurons fail to regenerate long-distance axons after injury. A major barrier to axonal regenerative research is that the CNS axons that regenerate in response to experimental treatments stall growth before reaching their post-synaptic targets. Here, we test the hypothesis that interaction of regenerating axons with live oligodendrocytes, which were absent during developmental axon growth, stalls axonal growth. To test this hypothesis, first, we used single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) and immunohistological analysis to investigate whether post-injury born oligodendrocytes incorporate into the glial scar after optic nerve injury. Then, we administered demyelination-inducing cuprizone (used in studies of multiple sclerosis), concurrently with the stimulation of axon regeneration by Pten knockdown (KD) in projection neurons after optic nerve injury. We found that post-injury born oligodendrocyte lineage cells incorporate into the glial scar, where they are susceptible to the demyelination diet treatment, which reduced their presence in the glial scar. We further found that the demyelination diet enhanced Pten KD-stimulated axon regeneration, and localized injection of cuprizone promoted axon regeneration. We also present a website for comparing the gene expression of scRNA-seq-profiled optic nerve oligodendrocyte lineage cells under physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Annotation of oligodendrocyte lineage cell subtypes, and normal or injured condition, are indicated in the last two rows of the cell matrix CSV file.

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.
