Expression data from periplaque regions in multiple sclerosis spinal cord

ABSTRACT: There have been few studies that have focused on the periplaque regions surrounding demyelinated plaques, especially in spinal cords. Areas of incomplete demyelination have been demonstrated but poorly studied. The present study aimed to analyze the molecular immunopathology of periplaque demyelinated lesions (PDLs) in the spinal cord of patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). To achieve this goal, the transcriptomic profiles of PDLs were analyzed in post-mortem tissues derived from the cervical spinal cord of 8 patients with primary or secondary progressive MS. Sixteen spinal cord samples were microdissected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Eight periplaque samples (P) were compared to normal appearing white matter (N) from the same patient.

Danio spinal cord injury

Project description:Adult zebrafish have the ability to recover from spinal cord injury and exhibit re-growth of descending axons from the brainstem to the spinal cord. We performed gene expression analysis using microarray to find damage-induced genes after spinal cord injury, which shows that Sox11b mRNA is up-regulated at 11 days after injury. However, the functional relevance of Sox11b for regeneration is not known. Here, we report that the up-regulation of Sox11b mRNA after spinal cord injury is mainly localized in ependymal cells lining the central canal and in newly differentiating neuronal precursors or immature neurons. Using an in vivo morpholino-based gene knockout approach, we demonstrate that Sox11b is essential for locomotor recovery after spinal cord injury. In the injured spinal cord, expression of the neural stem cell associated gene, Nestin, and the proneural gene Ascl1a (Mash1a), which are involved in the self-renewal and cell fate specification of endogenous neural stem cells, respectively, is regulated by Sox11b. Our data indicate that Sox11b promotes neuronal determination of endogenous stem cells and regenerative neurogenesis after spinal cord injury in the adult zebrafish. Enhancing Sox11b expression to promote proliferation and neurogenic determination of endogenous neural stem cells after injury may be a promising strategy in restorative therapy after spinal cord injury in mammals. Spinal cord injury or control sham injury was performed on adult zebrafish. After 4, 12, or 264 hrs, a 5 mm segment of spinal cord was dissected and processed (as a pool from 5 animals) in three replicate groups for each time point and treatment.

Inhibition of spinal cord Hsp90 enhances morphine anti-nociception by activating an ERK/RSK pathway

Project description:Morphine and other opioids continue to be commonly utilized as clinical analgesics, despite their numerous adverse side effects, including respiratory depression, addiction, and tolerance. The modulation of µ-opioid receptor (MOR) signaling and subsequent behavioral output is one viable approach to improve opioid therapy. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone protein that has recently been implicated in downstream MOR signaling within the brain in mice. Here we identify a context-dependent impact on MOR signaling in which the inhibition of Hsp90 within the spinal cord promotes morphine induced anti-nociception. We show that intrathecal and not systemic administration of the Hsp90 inhibitors 17-AAG or KU-32 amplifies morphine-induced anti-nociception in both thermal and mechanical pain models. Further, we demonstrate that the inhibition of Hsp90 allows for ERK phosphorylation after opioid treatment. ERK activation was localized within the dorsal horns of the spinal cord, which are heavily populated with primary afferents responsible for nociception. The behavioral effects observed with Hsp90 inhibitors were abolished upon intrathecal U0126 (ERK inhibitor) and cycloheximide (translation inhibitor) treatment, suggesting that downstream ERK phosphorylation and rapid protein translation are responsible for the observed amplification of anti-nociception. Quantitative proteomic analysis identified upregulated RSK with spinal cord Hsp90 inhibition, which we further found was necessary for the observed enhancement of anti-nociception. Taken together, we have uncovered a novel downstream MOR ERK/RSK cascade, localized to the spinal cord and repressed by Hsp90, whose modulation may allow for enhanced efficacy and decreased side effects during opioid therapy.

Time series gene expression data from adult rat tail MNs following spinal cord transection

Project description:Spinal cord injury leads to impaired motor and sensory functions. After spinal cord injury there is a an initial phase of hypo-reflexia followed by a developing hyper-reflexia, often termed spasticity. Previous studies have suggested a relationship between the reappearance of plateau potentials in motor neurons and the development of spasticity after spinalization. To understand the molecular mechanism behind this phenomena we examined the transcriptional response of the motor neurons after spinal cord injury as it progress over time. We used a rat tail injury model where a complete transection of the caudal (S2) rat spinal cord leads to an immediate flaccid paralysis of the tail and a subsequent appearance of spasticity 2-3 weeks post injury that develops into strong spasticity after 2 months. Gene expression changes were studied in motor neurones 0, 2, 7, 21 and 60 days after complete spinal transection. Tail MNs were retrogradely labelled with Fluoro-Gold injected into the muscle and intra peritoneally. 5-7 days after tracer injections the spinal cord was dissected out, snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen, sliced in 10 um thick slices and fluorescent motor neurons were laser dissected into a collector tube to a total of ca. 50-200 cells pr sample. RNA was then extracted, two round amplified and hybridized to Affymetrix rat 230 2.0 arays. 31 samples were hybridized onto chips, 4 Spi-0 (Control), 6 Spi-2, 5 Spi-7, 8 Spi-21 and 8 Spi-60.

Differential gene expression following SCI in trkB.T1 null

Project description:We asked what genes are significantly differentially regulated in the spinal cord of SCI trkB.T1 WT and trkB.T1 KO mice. TrkB.T1 is upregulated shortly after SCI although the precise mechanisms underyling this upregulation are poorly understood. In the trkB.T1 null, we show less mechanical allodynia and better locomotor recovery following SCI. The microarray studies helped us to elucidate a signaling pathway that is differently regulated in the WT versus KO mice at 1 day after SCI. In this study, we did not examine gene changes within a genotype after SCI. Rather, we examined DGE by genotype at each time point. Spinal cord tissue from WT and KO mice in a sham condition (intact spinal cord) versus 1D, 3D and 7D following SCI was harvested for microarray analyses.

Differential Response Following Spinal Cord Injury in EphA4 Knockout

Project description:Mice lacking the developmental axon guidance molecule EphA4 have previously been shown to exhibit extensive axonal regeneration and functional recovery following spinal cord injury. To assess mechanisms by which EphA4 may modify the response to neural injury, a microarray was performed on spinal cord tissue from mice with spinal cord injury and sham injured controls. RNA was purified from spinal cords of adult EphA4 knockout and wild-type mice four days following lumbar spinal cord hemisection or laminectomy only and was hybridised to Affymetrix All-Exon Array 1.0 GeneChips. While subsequent analyses indicated that several pathways were altered in EphA4 knockout mice, of particular interest was the attenuated or otherwise altered expression of a number of inflammatory genes, including Arginase 1, expression of which was lower in injured EphA4 knockout compared to wild-type mice. Immunohistological analyses of different cellular components of the immune response were then performed in injured EphA4 knockout and wild-type spinal cords. While numbers of infiltrating CD3+ T cells were low in the hemisection model, a robust CD11b+ macrophage / microglial response was observed post-injury. There was no difference in the overall number or spread of macrophages / activated microglia in injured EphA4 knockout compared to wild-type spinal cords at two, four or fourteen days post-injury, however a lower proportion of Arginase-1 immunoreactive macrophages / activated microglia was observed in EphA4 knockout spinal cords at four days post-injury. Subtle alterations in the neuroinflammatory response in injured EphA4 knockout spinal cords may contribute to the regeneration and recovery observed in these mice following injury. Comparison was made between gene expression in wild-type and knockout samples both before and after injury. 3 replicates per group.
