Project description:The neurite outgrowth inhibitory myelin protein Nogo-A has been well studied in the context of central nervous system (CNS) injury and disease. We studied the effects of the application of neutralizing anti-Nogo-A antibodies (11C7 and 7B12) in intact CNS tissue in vitro using rat organotypic hippocampal slice cultures. This study had the purpose of elucidating the role of Nogo-A in the adult intact CNS and determining the consequences of its neutralization through antibody application. In vitro cultures treated with anti-Nogo-A antibody showed an elicited growth response. The results also gave indications that hippocampal circuitry might be altered due to the regulation at the synaptic and neurotransmission level.

In vitro cultures treated with anti-Nogo-A antibody showed an elicited growth response. The results also gave indications that hippocampal circuitry might be altered due to the regulation at the synaptic and neurotransmission level. Experiment Overall Design: Nogo-A function in the intact CNS tissue is not well known, but its neutralization in vivo produced a transitory growth response of Purkinje axons and of the corticospinal tract in intact adult rats (Buffo et al., 2000; Bareyre et al., 2002; Gianola et al., 2003). Nogo-A is relatively highly expressed in oligodendrocytes and some neurons of the hippocampus (Huber et al., 2002; Meier et al., 2003; Gil et al., 2006; Trifunovski et al., 2006). Organotypic hippocampal slice cultures are a good in vitro model to study hippocampal function and structure (Stoppini et al., 1991; 1993; Bahr, 1995; Gahwiler et al., 1997; Hakkoum et al., 2006). They mature in vitro and retain many in vivo features from a structural and functional perspective. We chose this model to study the effects of acute Nogo-A neutralization, using two function blocking monoclonal antibodies, 11C7 and 7B12 (Oertle et al., 2003; Wiessner et al., 2003; Liebscher et al., 2005), exclusively targeted against the Nogo-A specific region. Hippocampal slices from P7 Wistar rats were cultured for 21 DIV. Control untreated cultures where cultured for additional 5days for a total of 26DIV, while control IgG, and 11C7 and 7B12 were added to 21DIV cultures which were then further cultured for 5days, changing medium every 2 days. All the conditions were repeated in triplicates with separate cultures from different animals. For each condition and experimental replicate 24 cultures were pooled together before being processed for RNA extraction. Data analysis was performed by GeneSpring 7.2 (Silicon Genetics, Agilent, CA, US) comparing 11C7 and 7B12 treated samples versus Not treated and IgG treated, as controls. A present call filter (2 out of 3 present calls in at least one out of the 3 experimental replicates) was applied. Normalization was run per chip as well as per gene to the median of the control replicates. Data were statistical restricted through a 1-way Anova (pâ?¤0.05). A final threshold of â?¥1.2 fold of increase or decrease in the expression level of each single transcript was applied. Regulated transcripts have been assigned to functional categories according to GeneOntology as well as literature and database mining (Pubmed; Bioinformatics Harvester EMBL Heidelberg; Rat Genome Database).

Project description:Borna Disease Virus (BDV) is a neurotropic virus that persistently infects neurons in the central nervous system of various hosts, including rats. Although BDV is known to be an IFN sensitive virus, determination of the cellular mRNA transcript levels revealed the induction of IFN-stimulated genes in organotypic rat hippocampus slice cultures, raising the question how BDV evades this innate immune response. Using rat Mx protein as a specific marker for IFN-induced gene products, we could show that neurons lack detectable levels of Mx in these BDV infected cultures, whereas astrocytes and microglial cells were Mx positive. Neurons remained Mx negative after treatment of uninfected hippocampus cultures as well as primary dissociated neuronal cultures with high concentrations of IFN-M-NM-1. This non-responsiveness correlated with a lack of a detectable nuclear translocation of pSTAT1 in rat neurons. Consistently, IFN treatment of BDV-infected rat neurons did not prevent the establishment of a viral persistence in the neuronal tissue. However, IFN treatment efficiently prevented vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) replication, indicating that these cells can mount a weak innate immune response. In contrast, IFN treatment of mouse neurons resulted in the upregulation of Mx1 proteins and inhibition of BDV replication, indicating species-specific differences in the IFN response in neurons between mice and rats. Rat neurons may therefore represent the ideal cell type for BDV to evade the innate immune in the central nervous system. To determine the mRNA levels in the hippocampal slice cultures after BDV infection in Sprague Dawley and Lewis rats Hippocampal slice cultures were prepared from newborn Lewis and SD rats (P0-P2). Half of the samples remained uninfected, whereas the other half was infected with 1000 focus forming units (FFU) of BDV strain He/80. Total RNA from a pool of 12 slice cultures was prepared
