Project description:The spinal cord receives inputs from the cortex via corticospinal neurons (CSNs). While predominantly a contralateral projection, a less-investigated minority of its axons terminate in the ipsilateral spinal cord. We analyzed the spatial and molecular properties of these ipsilateral axons and their post-synaptic targets in mice and found they project primarily to the ventral horn, including directly to motor neurons. Barcode-based reconstruction of the ipsilateral axons revealed a class of primarily bilaterally-projecting CSNs with a distinct cortical distribution. The molecular properties of these ipsilaterally-projecting CSNs (IP-CSNs) are strikingly similar to the previously described molecular signature of embryonic-like regenerating CSNs. Finally, we show that IP-CSNs are spontaneously regenerative after spinal cord injury. The discovery of a class of spontaneously regenerative CSNs may prove valuable to the study of spinal cord injury. Additionally, this work suggests that the retention of juvenile-like characteristics may be a widespread phenomenon in adult nervous systems. This TRAP sequencing data was used to determine the molecular similarity to regenerating and embryonic CSNs.

Project description:Emerging work has demonstrated that histologically normal (non-tumor) tissue adjacent to breast tumor tissue shows evidence of molecular alterations related to tumorigenesis, referred to as field cancerization effects. Although changes in DNA methylation are known to occur early in breast carcinogenesis and the landscape of breast tumor DNA methylation is profoundly altered compared with normal tissue, there have been limited efforts to identify DNA methylation field cancerization effects in histologically normal breast tissue adjacent to tumor. Matched tumor, histologically normal tissue of the ipsilateral breast (ipsilateral-normal), and histologically normal tissue of the contralateral breast (contralateral-normal) were obtained from nine women undergoing bilateral mastectomy. Laser capture microdissection was used to select breast epithelial cells from normal tissues, and neoplastic cells from tumor specimens for genome-scale measures of DNA methylation with the Illumina HumanMethylationEPIC array. We identified substantially more CpG loci that were differentially methylated between contralateral-normal breast and tumor tissue (63,271 CpG loci q < 0.01), than between ipsilateral-normal tissue and tumor (38,346 CpG loci q < 0.01). In addition, we identified differential methylation in ipsilateral-normal relative to contralateral-normal tissue (9,562 CpG loci p < 0.01). Hypomethylated loci in ipsilateral normal relative to contralateral were significantly enriched for breast cancer-relevant transcription factor binding sites including those for ESR1, FoxA1, and GATA3. Hypermethylated loci in ipsilateral-normal relative to contralateral-normal tissue were significantly enriched for CpG island shore regions.

Project description:The retinal projection neurons, retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), can be categorized into distinct morphological and functional subtypes and by the laterality of their projections. Here, we used a new method for purifying the sparse population of ipsilaterally projecting RGCs in mouse retina from their contralaterally-projecting counterparts during embryonic development through rapid retrograde labeling followed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Through microarray analysis, we have uncovered the distinct molecular signatures that define and distinguish ipsilateral and contralateral RGCs during the critical period of axonal outgrowth and decussation, with over three hundred genes differentially experienced within these two cell populations. Amongst the genes upregulated in ipsilateral RGCs are many that are known to be expresed in progenitors cells and mark “immaturity," including Math5 (Atoh7), Sox2, and cyclin D2. Many of these differentially regulated genes were subsequently validated via in vivo expression analysis. Thus, the molecular signatures of ipsilateral and contralateral RGCs and the mechanisms that regulate their differentiation are more diverse than previously expected.

Project description:This study relates to embryo-maternal interaction. The aim was to compare the transcriptome and ability of the ipsilateral and contralateral uterine horns to support preimplantation conceptus survival and growth to Day 14. Although differences in gene expression exist between the endometrium of uterine horns ipsilateral and contralateral to the CL in cattle, they do not impact conceptus survival or length between Days 7 and 14.

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).

Project description:The neocortex contains an unparalleled diversity of neuronal subtypes responsible for complex behavior. Each cortical neuron has distinct traits, which are developmentally acquired under the control of batteries of neuron subtype-specific and pan-neuronal genes. The cis-regulatory logic that orchestrates the coordinated regulation of each unique combination of genes is not known for any class of neurons of the neocortex. We report that Fezf2, a transcription factor able to induce defining features of corticospinal motor neurons (CSMN), associates with the proximal promoters and regulates expression of series of CSMN signature genes. Fezf2 targets are functionally relevant as demonstrated by the finding that Fezf2 governs expression of the axon guidance receptor EphB1 to execute the ipsilateral extension of the corticospinal tract. Our data indicate that co-regulated expression of neuron subtype-specific gene batteries by a common transcription factor is one component of the regulatory logic responsible for the establishment of CSMN identity.
