Project description:Peripheral innervation plays an important role in regulating tissue repair and regeneration. Here, we provide evidence that injured peripheral nerves provide a reservoir of mesenchymal precursor cells that can directly contribute to murine digit tip regeneration and skin repair. In particular, using single-cell RNA sequencing and lineage tracing we identify transcriptionally-distinct mesenchymal cell populations within the control and injured adult nerve, including neural crest-derived cells in the endoneurium with characteristics of mesenchymal precursor cells. Culture and transplantation studies show that these nerve-derived mesenchymal cells have the potential to differentiate into non-nerve lineages. Moreover, following digit tip amputation, the neural crest-derived nerve mesenchymal cells contribute to the regenerative blastema and ultimately to the regenerated bone. Similarly, neural crest derived nerve mesenchymal cells contribute to the dermis during skin wound healing. These findings support a model where peripheral nerves directly contribute mesenchymal precursor cells to promote repair and regeneration of injured mammalian tissues.

Project description:The striking PNS regenerative response to injury rests on the plasticity of adult Schwann cells and their ability to transit between differentiation states, a highly unusual feature in mammals. Using mice with inactivation of Schwann cell c-Jun, we show that the injury response involves c-Jun dependent natural reprograming of differentiated cells to generate a distinct Schwann cell state specialized to promote regeneration. Transected distal stumps of c-Jun mutants show 172 disregulated genes, resulting in abnormal expression of growth factors, adhesion molecules and cytoskeletal changes that lead to neuronal death, inhibition of axon growth and striking failures of functional repair after injury. These observations provide a molecular basis for understanding Schwann cell plasticity and nerve regeneration. They offer conclusive support for the notion that Schwann cells control repair in the PNS, using dedicated transcriptional controls to generate a distinct repair cell, a transition that shows similarities to transdifferentiation seen in other systems. Total RNA was purified from a 10mm segment of the distal stump and uninjured contralateral nerve from c-Jun mutants and control mice 7 days after nerve cut. For each condition (injured/uninjured) and genotype (control/ knock-out) 2 independent samples (replicates) were generated from pooled nerves of 4/6 mice resulting in a total of 8 samples: CTRL.cut.R1, CTRL.cut.R2, CTRL.uncut.R1, CTRL.uncut.R2, KO.cut.R1, KO.cut.R2, KO.uncut.R1,KO.uncut.R2.

Project description:To investigate the potential function of lncRNAs in Schwann cell (SCs) response to sciatic nerve damage and repair, we extracted the total RNA of crushed sciatic nerves and intact contralateral nerves for RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). A total of 98 differentially expressed lncRNAs (including 46 up-regulated and 52 down-regulated lncRNAs) and 77 differentially expressed mRNAs (including 55 up-regulated and 22 down-regulated mRNAs) were identified between crushed sciatic nerves and normal control (log 2 FC > 1 and p < 0.001).

Project description:The intestine is a barrier tissue whose epithelium has high intrinsic turnover rate; intestinal stem cells, in response to signals from the niche, self-renew and produce progeny that differentiate to fulfill the continuous demand for new epithelial cells that are continuously shed into the lumen. The intestine is innervated by a dense network of peripheral nerves that controls nutrient absorption, intestinal motility, and visceral pain sensation. However, the roles of neurons in regulating epithelial cell homeostasis or regeneration remain as yet undiscovered. Here we investigate the effects of gut-innervating sympathetic neurons on epithelial cell repair following irradiation (IR)-induced gut injury. We observed that sympathetic innervation density in the gut increases post IR, while chemical sympathetic denervation impairs gut regeneration. Combining single cell RNA-sequencing and in vivo experiments, we discovered that sympathetic neurons regulate gut regeneration through modulation of IL22 production in type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) downstream of 2-adrenergic receptor signaling. These results define a novel neuroimmune axis important for intestinal regeneration.

Project description:Canonical roles for macrophages in mediating the fibrotic response after a heart attack (myocardial infarction) include turnover of the extracellular matrix and activation of cardiac fibroblasts to initiate collagen deposition. Here we reveal through studying the functional kinetics of fibrosis during zebrafish heart regeneration and mouse heart repair that macrophages can directly contribute collagen to the forming scar. Unbiased transcriptomics revealed an up-regulation of collagen isoforms in both zebrafish and mouse macrophages following injury. Adoptive transfer of macrophages from collagen-tagged transgenic zebrafish and splenic monocyte-derived macrophages from adult mouse GFPtpz-collagen donors, enhanced scar formation and induced fibrosis, respectively, via cell autonomous production of collagen. In zebrafish, macrophage-specific targeting of collagen 4a binding protein and cognate collagen 4a1 followed by transfer led to significantly reduced scarring in cryo-injured hosts. These findings contrast with the current model of scarring whereby collagen deposition is exclusively attributed to myofibroblasts, and implicate macrophages as direct contributors to fibrosis during heart repair.

Project description:The kidney has large regenerative capacity that is impeded when injured renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs) undergo SNAI1-driven partial epithelial mesenchymal transition (pEMT). Here we investigate the role of IL11 in TEC pEMT and kidney repair. Wild-type mice with acute kidney injury (AKI) upregulate IL11 in TECs triggering an ERK/P90RSK/GSK3β axis of SNAI1 expression leading to impaired renal function, which is abrogated in Il11 null mice. In mouse models of AKI, a neutralizing IL11 antibody promotes kidney regeneration, while attenuating pEMT, fibrosis and kidney dysfunction. In TECs, TGFβ1 induces autocrine IL11/ERK-dependent pEMT leading to paracrine, IL11-mediated fibroblast activation. Mice with TEC-specific deletion of Il11ra1 are protected from pEMT, inflammation, fibrosis and renal failure. In a mouse model of chronic kidney disease, administration of anti-IL11 reverses fibrosis, regenerates kidney parenchyma and restores renal function. Therapeutic inhibition of IL11 signaling appears permissive for promoting kidney regeneration and improving kidney function.

Project description:Host-environment interfaces such as the dermis comprise tissue macrophages as the most abundant resident immune cell type. Diverse tasks, i.e. to resist against invading pathogens, to attract bypassing immune cells from penetrating vessels and to aid tissue development and repair require a dynamic postnatal coordination of tissue macrophages specification. Here, we delineated the postnatal development of dermal macrophages and their differentiation into distinct subsets by adapting single cell transcriptomics, fate-mapping and tissue imaging. We thereby identified a small phenotypically and transcriptionally distinct subset of embryo-derived skin macrophages that was maintained and largely excluded from the overall postnatal exchange by monocytes. These macrophages specifically interacted with dermal sensory nerves, surveilled and trimmed the myelin sheets and regulated axon sprouting after mechanical injury. In summary, our data show long-lasting functional specification of macrophages in the dermis that is driven by step-wise adaptation to guiding structures and ensures codevelopment of ontogenetically distinct cells within the same compartment.
