Aging alters mechanisms underlying voluntary movements in spinal motor neurons of mice, primates and humans.

Project description:Spinal motor neurons have been implicated in the loss of motor function that occurs with advancing age. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that impair the function of these neurons during aging remain unknown. Here, we show that motor neurons do not die in old female and male mice, rhesus monkeys, and humans. Instead, these neurons selectively shed excitatory synaptic inputs throughout the soma and dendritic arbor during aging. By examining the translatome , we also show that aging alters the molecular composition of motor neurons in both male and female mice. Aging motor neurons present with changes in genes and molecular pathways with roles in glia-mediated synaptic pruning, and inflammation. They also exhibit changes in pathways with roles in axonal regeneration caused by axotomy and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Thus, we have identified cellular and molecular mechanisms altered in aged motor neurons that could serve as therapeutic targets to preserve motor function during aging.

Aging alters mechanisms underlying voluntary movements in spinal motor neurons of mice, primates, and humans.

Project description:Spinal motor neurons have been implicated in the loss of motor function that occurs with advancing age. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that impair the function of these neurons during aging remain unknown. Here, we show that motor neurons do not die in old female and male mice, rhesus monkeys, and humans. Instead, these neurons selectively and progressively shed excitatory synaptic inputs throughout the soma and dendritic arbor during aging. Thus, aged motor neurons contain a motor circuitry with a reduced ratio of excitatory to inhibitory synapses that may be responsible for the diminished ability to activate motor neurons to commence movements. An examination of the motor neuron translatome (ribosomal transcripts) in male and female mice reveals genes and molecular pathways with roles in glia-mediated synaptic pruning, inflammation, axonal regeneration, and oxidative stress that are upregulated in aged motor neurons. Some of these genes and pathways are also found altered in motor neurons affected with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and responding to axotomy, demonstrating that aged motor neurons are under significant stress. Our findings show mechanisms altered in aged motor neurons that could serve as therapeutic targets to preserve motor function during aging.

Motor Learning Leads to Modifications of Gene Expression Profile in M1 Astrocytes

Project description:While motor cortex is crucial for the learning of precise and reliable movements, whether astrocytes contribute to its plasticity and function during motor learning is unknown. Here we report that primary motor cortex (M1) astrocytes in mice show gene expression changes associated with learning a cued lever-push task, including changes in glutamate transport genes

Gene expression profiling of resistant and vulnerable motor neuron subtypes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Project description:A consistent clinical feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the sparing of eye movements. Pathological studies have confirmed that there is relative sparing of the cranial motor nuclei of the oculomotor, trochlear and abducens nerves, although pathological changes resembling those seen in anterior horn cells are present to a lesser degree. The aim of the present study is to combine LCM and microarray analysis to study the differences between motor neurons that are selectively resistant (oculomotor neurons) and those that are vulnerable (lumbar spinal motor neurons) to the disease process in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. We used microarray analysis to determine the differences in gene expression between oculomotor and lumbar spinal motor neurons, isolated by laser capture microdissection from the midbrain and spinal cord of neurologically normal human controls.
