Motor cortex after C3 lesion

ABSTRACT: Gene expression analysis of motor cortex after spinal C3 lesion Dorsal column wire knife lesions: Adult female Fischer 344 rats weighing 150-200 gm were used. Animals underwent a laminectomy at spinal level C3. Dorsal funiculus lesions were made in the middle of C3 using a Kopf microwire device (Kopf Instruments, Tujunga, CA). After fixation in a spinal stereotaxic unit, a small dural incision was made. The wire knife was lowered into the spinal cord to a depth of 1.1 mm ventral to the dorsal cord surface and 1.1 mm to the left of the midline. The tip of the wireknife was extruded, forming a 2.25 mm-wide arc that was raised to the dorsal surface of the cord. To ensure complete axotomy of the dorsal funiculus, spinal tissue was compressed against the microwire knife surface using a microaspiration pipette until all visible white matter was transected. Cortical microdissection: The forelimb and hindlimb motor cortex were microdisected from rat cortices: Rostral to Bregma: an area from 2.0 to 4.5 mm mediolateral and from 0 to 2 mm anterior-posterior Caudal to Bregma: an area from 2.0 to 3.5 mediolateral and from 0 to 3 mm caudal to Bregma. Only the inferior half of the cortex containing layer V corticospinal motor neurons was sampled in each region.

Astrocyte-encoded positional cues maintain sensorimotor circuit integrity

Project description:Astrocytes, the most abundant cells in the central nervous system, promote synapse formation and help refine neural connectivity. Although they are allocated to spatially distinct regional domains during development, it is unknown whether region-restricted astrocytes are functionally heterogeneous. Here we show that postnatal spinal cord astrocytes express several region-specific genes, and that ventral astrocyte-encoded Semaphorin3a (Sema3a) is required for proper motor neuron and sensory neuron circuit organization. Loss of astrocyte-encoded Sema3a led to dysregulated α−motor neuron axon initial segment orientation, markedly abnormal synaptic inputs, and selective death of α−but not of adjacent γ−motor neurons. Additionally, a subset of TrkA+ sensory afferents projected to ectopic ventral positions. These findings demonstrate that stable maintenance of a positional cue by developing astrocytes influences multiple aspects of sensorimotor circuit formation. More generally, they suggest that regional astrocyte heterogeneity may help to coordinate postnatal neural circuit refinement. 12 total samples consisting of three biological replicates each of flow sorted postnatal day 7 dorsal spinal cord astrocytes, ventral spinal cord astrocytes, dorsal SC non astrocytes, and ventral SC non astrocytes

Identification of molecular controls over corticospinal motor neuron segmental target specificity

Project description:Molecular mechanisms over differentiation and differential axonal targeting of distinct neuron subtypes in the cerebral cortex are beginning to be elucidated. These studies have focused on controls that specifically distinguish one subtype of neocortical projection neurons, e.g. corticospinal motor neurons (CSMN), from closely related corticothalamic projection neurons (CThPN) or intracortical callosal projection neurons (CPN). CSMN are located in layer V of the neocortex and make synaptic connections to motor output circuitry in the spinal cord and brainstem. CSMN axons form the corticospinal tract (CST), which is the major motor output pathway from the motor cortex and critically controls voluntary movement. CSMN somatotopically and precisely target specific segments along the rostrocaudal axis of the spinal cord, the molecular basis for which remains unknown. We used microarrays to examine gene expression differences between two CSMN subpopulations that target different levels of the spinal cord - CSMN-C (which extend axons to the brainstem and cervical spinal cord) and CSMN-L (which preferrrentially extend axons to the thoracic and lumbar spinal cord). We compared CSMN-C vs CSMN-L gene expression at 3 critical developmental time points (previously described in Arlotta et a., 2005)

Gene expression profiles in spinal cord of control and sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis patients

Project description:We performed gene expression profiles of spinal cord samples of ALS patients (30) and controls (10) in order to obtain transcriptomics information belonging to different brain regions of ALS patients. Motor cortex gene expression profiles of the same patients were previously submitted (E-MTAB-2325) and published.

Transcriptome of Subcortical White Matter and Spinal Cord After Spinal Injury and Cortical Stimulation

Project description:Spinal cord injury disrupts ascending and descending neural signals causing sensory and motor dysfunction below the injury. Neuromodulation with electrical stimulation is used in both clinical and research settings to induce neural plasticity and improve functional recovery following injury. However, the mechanisms by which electrical stimulation affects recovery remain unclear. In this study we examined the effects of cortical electrical stimulation following injury on transcription at several levels of the central nervous system. We performed a unilateral cervical spinal contusion injury in rats and delivered stimulation for one week to the contralesional motor cortex to activate a descending motor tract.RNA was purified from bilateral subcortical white matter, and 3 levels of the spinal cord. Here we provide the complete data set in the hope that it will be useful for researchers studying electrical stimulation as a therapy to improve recovery from the deficits associated with spinal cord injury.

Gonadectomy-induced transcriptome changes in the ventral cervical spinal cord of male and female rats

Project description:Circulating sex steroids are critical for the development of neuroplasticity in the respiratory motor system. A primary locus of inducible respiratory neuroplasticity is the phrenic motor nucleus, a column of motor neurons in the ventral cervical spinal cord (C3-C5). In specific, exposure to acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) induces strengthened synaptic connections to phrenic motor neurons and increased motor output; a form of neuroplasticity called phrenic long-term facilitation (pLTF). Gonadectomy (surgical removal of the testes in males and ovaries in females) reduces circulating sex steroids and eliminates AIH-induced phrenic pLTF in both females and males, implicating sex steroids as critical mediators for the development of neuroplasticity. To begin interrogating mechanisms of sex steroid influence on phrenic motor neurons and to determine the effect of gonadectomy on local gene expression, we performed RNA sequencing on ventral cervical spinal cord samples containing the phrenic motor nucleus. Our findings identified sex-specific gene expression in gonadally-intact rats and suggested that gonadectomy caused greater changes to the transcriptomes of male rats compared to females.

Identification of the differentially expressed genes in the mouse embryonic dorsal spinal cord from E10.5 to E12.5

Project description:To identify differentially expressed genes in the developmental mouse dorsal spinal cord, we characterized the global gene expression profiling of mouse embryonic dorsal spinal cord commissural neurons at E10.5, E11.5 and E12.5. We used the Affymetrix Mouse Exon 1.0 ST Array platform to analyze the gene expression profiling. We included the gene expression data obtained from dorsal spinal cord commissural neuron at different embryonic stage. 2 Biological replicates were performed.

Transcription profiling time series of Rattus norvegicus raphe magnus and sensorimotor cortex samples following moderate spinal cord injury

Project description:Summary: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a damage to the spinal cord induced by trauma or disease resulting in a loss of mobility or feeling. SCI is characterized by a primary mechanical injury followed by a secondary injury in which several molecular events are altered in the spinal cord often resulting in loss of neuronal function. Analysis of the areas directly (spinal cord) and indirectly (raphe and sensorimotor cortex) affected by injury will help understanding mechanisms of SCI. Hypothesis: Areas of the brain primarily affected by spinal cord injury are the Raphe and the Sensorimotor cortex thus gene expression profiling these two areas might contribute understanding the mechanisms of spinal cord injury. Specific Aim: The project aims at finding significantly altered genes in the Raphe and Sensorimotor cortex following an induced moderate spinal cord injury in T9.
