Expression data from mouse optic nerve head after elevation in intraocular pressure

Project description:Reactive astrocytes are typically studied in models that cause irreversible mechanical damage to axons, neuronal cell bodies, and glia. We evaluated the response of astrocytes in the optic nerve head to a subtle injury induced by a brief, mild elevation of the intraocular pressure. Astrocytes demonstrated reactive remodeling showing hypertrophy, process retraction and simplification of their shape. We used microarray to indentify differentially expressed genes and to investigate the molecular mechanisms of astrogliosis in response to this subtle injury. Six- to eight-week old C57Bl/6 male mice were used in this experiment. One eye underwent an elevation in intraocular pressure to 30 mmHg for 1 hour and then allowed to recover for 3 days. The contralateral eye served as a control. Due to the small tissue size of the mouse optic nerve head, two optic nerve heads were pooled together for each microarray chip. We used 10 mice to generate five biological replicates for each condition.

Expression data from mouse optic nerve head after optic nerve crush

Project description:Reactive gliosis is a complex process that involves profound changes in gene expression. We used microarray to indentify differentially expressed genes and to investigate the molecular mechanisms of reactive gliosis in optic nerve head in response to optic nerve crush injury. C57Bl/6 female mice were 6-8 weeks old at the time of optic nerve crush surgery. The optic nerve in the left eye was crush 1 mm behind the globe for 10 seconds and the right eye served as contralateral control. The animals were allowed to recover for 1 day, 3 day, 1 week, 3 weeks and 3 months before the optic nerve heads were collected. The naive control mice did not receive any surgery in either eye. Due to the small tissue size of the mouse optic nerve head, two optic nerve heads were pooled together for each microarray chip. The left eyes and the right eyes of two mice were combined respectively to form one pair of experiment and control samples. There were five biological replicates (10 mice) for each condition.

Astrocytes of the optic nerve exhibit a region-specific and temporally distinct response to elevated intraocular pressure

Project description:The optic nerve is an important tissue in glaucoma and the unmyelinated nerve head region remains an important site of many early neurodegenerative changes. In humans and mice, astrocytes constitute the major glial cell type in the region, and in glaucoma they become reactive, influencing the optic nerve head (ONH) microenvironment and disease outcome. To determine the response of ONH astrocytes in glaucoma, we studied their transcriptional response to an elevation in intraocular pressure (IOP) induced by the microbead occlusion model. We also assessed the response of astrocytes in the more distal myelinated optic nerve proper (ONP). In this experimental model, astrocytes of the optic nerve exhibited a region-specific and temporally distinct response: ONH astrocytes showed very few early transcriptional changes and ONP astrocytes demonstrated substantially larger changes over the course of the experiment.

Retinal Ganglion Cell Expression of Cytokine Enhances Occupancy of NG2 Cell-Derived Astrocytes at the Nerve Injury Site: Implication for Axon Regeneration

Project description:Following injuryin the central nervous system, a population of astrocytes occupy the lesion site, form glial bridges and facilitate axon regeneration. Theseastrocytes originate primarily from resident astrocytes orNG2+ oligodendrocyteprogenitor cells. However, theextentto which these cell types give rise to the lesion-filling astrocytes,andwhethertheastrocytes derived from differentcell typescontribute similarly to optic nerve regenerationremain unclear.Here we examine the distributionof astrocytes and NG2+ cellsin an optic nerve crush model.Weshow that optic nerve astrocytes partially fill the injury site over timeafter a crush injury.Viral mediated expression of a growth-promotingfactor,ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF),in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) promotesaxon regeneration without altering the lesion size or the degreeof lesion-filling GFAP+ cells. Strikingly, using inducible NG2Cre driver mice, wefoundthat CNTF overexpression in RGCs increasesthe occupancy ofNG2+ cell-derived astrocytes in the optic nerve lesion. An EdU pulse-chase experiment showsthat the increase in NG2 cell-derived astrocytes is not due to an increase in cell proliferation.Lastly, we performedRNA-sequencing on the injured optic nerve and reveal that CNTF overexpression in RGCs results in significant changes in the expression of distinct genes,including those that encode chemokines, growth factor receptors,and immune cell modulators.Even though CNTF-induced axon regeneration has long been recognized, this is the first evidence of this procedure affecting glial cell fate at the optic nerve crush site.We discuss possible implication of theseresultsforaxon regeneration.

Transcription profiling of rat astrocytes in culture and from human optic nerve to identify acutely expressed genes during CNS injury and their expression in cultured astrocytes

Project description:A robust set of CNS transcript changes was defined by comparing microarray data that describe the injury response of the rat retina [Vazquez-Chona et al., IOVS 2004; GSE1001], brain [Matzilevich et al., J Neurosci Res 2002; GSE1911], and spinal cord [Di Giovanni et al., Ann Neurol 2003; GDS63]. We determined the CNS injury genes that were expressed in cultured astrocytes from rat cortex [GSM34300] and from human optic nerve head [Yang et al., Physiol Genomics 2004; GDS532].

Transcriptomic analyses of astrocyte heterogeneity within white matter tracts

Project description:Astrocytes are broadly categorized as protoplasmic or fibrous, with the former localized to synaptically dense gray matter regions and the latter associated with axons in the white matter. Much of what we know about astrocyte form and function is derived from the study of protoplasmic astrocytes, whereas fibrous astrocytes remain relatively unexplored. We investigated the transcriptome of uninjured fibrous astrocytes in the mouse from three regions: unmyelinated optic nerve head (ONH), myelinated optic nerve proper (ONP), and corpus callosum (CC).

Regional Gene Expression in the Retina, Optic Nerve Head, and Optic Nerve of Mice with Optic Nerve Crush and Experimental Glaucoma

Project description:A major risk factor for glaucomatous optic neuropathy is the level of intraocular pressure (IOP), which can lead to retinal ganglion cell axon injury and cell death. The optic nerve has a rostral unmyelinated portion at the optic nerve head followed by a caudal myelinated region. The unmyelinated region is differentially susceptible to IOP-induced damage in rodent models and in human glaucoma. While several studies have analyzed gene expression changes in the mouse optic nerve following optic nerve injury, few were designed to consider the regional gene expression differences that exist between these distinct areas. We performed bulk RNA-sequencing on the retina and on separately micro-dissected unmyelinated and myelinated optic nerve regions from naïve C57BL/6 mice, mice after optic nerve crush, and mice with microbead-induced experimental glaucoma (total = 36). Gene expression patterns in the naïve unmyelinated optic nerve showed significant enrichment of the Wnt, Hippo, PI3K-Akt, and transforming growth factor β pathways, as well as extracellular matrix–receptor and cell membrane signaling pathways, compared to the myelinated optic nerve and retina. Gene expression changes induced by both injuries were more extensive in the myelinated optic nerve than the unmyelinated region, and greater after nerve crush than glaucoma. Changes present three and fourteen days after injury largely subsided by six weeks. Gene markers of reactive astrocytes did not consistently differ between injury states. Overall, the transcriptomic phenotype of the mouse unmyelinated optic nerve was significantly different from immediately adjacent tissues, likely dominated by expression in astrocytes, whose junctional complexes are inherently important in responding to IOP elevation.
