Massively Parallel Single Nucleus Transcriptional Profiling Defines Spinal Cord Cell Types and Their Activity During Behavior

ABSTRACT: To understand the cellular basis of behavior, it is necessary to know the types of cells that exist in the nervous system and their contributions to function. Spinal cord networks are essential for sensory processing and motor behavior; however, the cellular correlates of these functions are not well understood. Here, we developed a massively parallel single nucleus RNA sequencing technique to first create a cell type atlas of the adult mouse spinal cord and then to use the transcriptional signatures of neuronal activity to map the cell types associated with specific behaviors. This approach, which we term Activity-SEQ, provided a broad and unbiased definition of the set of neuronal populations that were active in response to a painful stimulus and during locomotion. In the future, Activity-SEQ could provide a powerful strategy to reveal the molecular and cellular basis for a wide range of behaviors.

Single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of spinal cord neuron in human

Project description:Despite the recognized importance of the spinal cord in sensory processing, motor behaviors, and/or neural diseases, the underlying organization of neuronal clusters remain elusive. Recently, several studies have attempted to define the neuronal types and functional heterogeneity in the spinal cord using single-cell and/or single-nucleus RNA-sequencing in various animal models. However, molecular evidence of neuronal heterogeneity in the human spinal cord has not yet been established. Here, we sought to classify spinal cord neurons from human donors using high-throughput single-nucleus RNA-sequencing. The functional heterogeneity among the identified cell types and signaling pathways that connect neuronal subtypes were explored. Moreover, we compared the transcriptional patterns obtained in human samples with previously published single-cell transcriptomic profiles of the mouse spinal cord. As a result, we generated the first comprehensive transcriptomic atlas of human spinal cord neurons and defined 18 neuronal clusters. In addition to identifying new and functionally distinct neuronal subtypes, our results also provide novel marker genes for previously described neuronal types. The comparison with mouse transcriptomic profiles revealed an overall similarity in the cellular composition of the spinal cord between the two species, while simultaneously highlighting some degree of heterogeneity. In summary, these results illustrate the complexity and diversity of neuronal types in the human spinal cord and provide an important resource for future research to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying spinal cord physiology and diseases.

Spatial transcriptomics and single-nucleus RNA-sequencing reveal a transcriptomic atlas of human spinal cord [Spinal snRNA-seq]

Project description:Despite the recognized importance of the spinal cord in sensory processing, motor behaviors, and neural diseases, the underlying organization of neuronal clusters and their spatial location remain elusive. Recently, several studies have attempted to define the neuronal types and functional heterogeneity in the spinal cord using single-cell or single-nucleus RNA sequencing in animal models or developing humans. However, molecular evidence of cellular heterogeneity in the adult human spinal cord is limited. Here, we classified spinal cord neurons into 21 subclusters and determined their distribution from nine human donors using single-nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics. Moreover, we compared the human findings with previously published single-nucleus data of the mouse adult spinal cord, which revealed an overall similarity in the neuronal composition of the spinal cord between the two species while simultaneously highlighting some degree of heterogeneity. Additionally, we examined the sex differences in the spinal neuronal subclusters. Several genes, such as SCN10A and HCN1, showed sex differences in motor neurons. Finally, we classified human DRG neurons using spatial transcriptomics and explored the putative interactions between DRG and spinal cord neuronal subclusters. In summary, these results illustrate the complexity and diversity of spinal neurons in humans and provide an important resource for future research to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying spinal cord physiology and diseases.

Gene expression profiles of two distinct neuronal populations in the neonatal rat spinal cord

Transcription profiling of rat neonatal spinal cord reveals two distinct neuronal populations

Project description:Here we compare the gene expression profiles of two distict, fluorescently identified neuronal populations, the motor neruons (MN) and the decending commissural interneurons (dCIN) of the neonatal rat spinal cord isolated with laser microdissection. These two populations participate in the neuronal networks in the spinal cord where they have destinct functions in shaping (dCINs) and transferring the output to the muscles (MNs) during locomotion. We wished to determine how the functinal differences in these nerurons are manifested at the gene expression level. Experiment Overall Design: Neurons were retrogradely labelled with rhodamine through application of the tracer to cut axons followed by incubation in oxygenated Ringer solution. Spinal cord were then snap frozen, cryosectioned and fluorescent single cells 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 Affymatrix RNU-34 chips. 22 samples were hybridized onto chips, 7 MNs, 7 CINS and 8 MIX.

The human ApoE4 variant reduces functional recovery and neuronal sprouting after incomplete spinal injury in male mice

Project description:Patients carrying one or two ApoE4 alleles suffer from worse functional recovery after spinal cord injury. Using transgenic mice expression human ApoE3 or ApoE4 we investigated potential cellular mechanisms of reduced recovery after spinal cord injury. Bulk RNA sequencing of the spinal cord lesion site followed by pathway enrichment analysis predicts that ApoE4 mice have a higher inflammatory and extracellular matrix remodeling activity 7 days after spinal cord injury. Contrary, higher activities for neuronal projection and action potential patways were predicted in the ApoE3 mice at 21 days after injury.

Unveiling the Development Specific Regenerative Potential of Spinal Cord: Insights from Extracellular Matrix

Project description:Neonatal spinal cord tissues exhibit remarkable regenerative capabilities compared to adult tissues following injury. Although some cellular signaling pathways involved in the process have been identified, the specific role of extracellular matrix (ECM) responsible for neonatal spinal cord regeneration has remained elusive. Here we revealed that early developmental spinal cord contained a higher abundance of ECM proteins associated with neural development and axon growth but fewer inhibitory proteoglycans compared to adult spinal cord. Decellularized spinal cord ECM from neonatal (DNSCM) and adult (DASCM) rabbits preserve the major difference of native spinal cord tissues in both stages. Compared to DASCM, DNSCM promoted proliferation, migration, and neuronal differentiation of neural progenitor cells (NPCs), as well as facilitated the long-distance axonal outgrowth and axon regeneration of spinal cord organoids. Pleiotrophin (PTN) and Tenascin (TNC) in DNSCM were identified as contributors to the remarkable neural regeneration ability. Furthermore, DNSCM demonstrated superior performance when used as a delivery vehicle for NPCs and organoids in rats with spinal cord injury (SCI). It suggests that ECM cues derived from different development stage might contribute to the distinct regeneration ability of spinal cord.

Gene expression data of C57BL/6, Il1a-knockout and Il1b-knockout mice at 24 hours after spinal cord injury

Project description:We have previously shown that Il1a-knockout (KO) mice exhibit rapid (at day 1) and persistent improvements in locomotion associated with reduced lesion volume compared with Il1b-KO mice and C57BL/6 controls after traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). To investigate the mechanism by which Il1a mediates its detrimental effect, we analyzed the transcriptome of the injured spinal cord of Il1a-KO, Il1b-KO and C57BL/6 mice at 24 hours after SCI using GeneChip microarrays. Il1a-KO, Il1b-KO and C57BL/6 mice were subjected to a 50-kdyn SCI and a 6-mm spinal cord segment centered over the site of contusion extracted for RNA isolation and microarray analysis.
