Project description:Neurobiological consequences of traumatic brain injury (TBI) result from a complex interplay of secondary injury responses and sequela that mediates chronic disability. Endothelial cells are important regulators of the cerebrovascular response to TBI. Our work demonstrates that genetic deletion of endothelial cell (EC)-specific EPH receptor A4 (EphA4) using conditional EphA4f/f/Tie2-Cre and EphA4f/f/VE-Cadherin-CreERT2 knockout (KO) mice, promotes blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity and tissue protection, which correlates with improved motor function and cerebral blood flow recovery following controlled cortical impact (CCI) injury. scRNAseq of capillary-derived KO ECs showed increased differential gene expression of BBB-related junctional and actin cytoskeletal regulators, namely, A-kinase anchor protein 12, Akap12, whose presence at Tie2 clustering domains is enhanced in KO microvessels. Transcript and protein analysis of CCI-injured whole cortical tissue or cortical-derived ECs suggests EphA4 limits the expression of Cldn5, Akt, and Akap12 and promotes Ang2. Blocking the Tie2 receptor using sTie2-Fc, attenuated BBB and tissue protection and reversed Akap12 mRNA and protein levels in KO compared to WT cortical-derived ECs. Conversely, direct stimulation of Tie2 using Vasculotide, an angiopoietin-1 memetic peptide, phenocopied the neuroprotection. Finally, we report a noteworthy rise in soluble Ang2 in the sera of individuals with acute TBI, highlighting its promising role as a vascular biomarker for early detection of BBB disruption. Overall, we describe a novel contribution of the axon guidance molecule, EphA4, in mediating TBI microvascular dysfunction through negative regulation of Tie2/Akap12 signaling.

Project description:We examined the impact of Abca1 deficiency and APOE isoform expression on the response to TBI using 3-months-old, human APOE3+/+ (E3/Abca1+/+) and APOE4+/+ (E4/Abca1+/+) targeted replacement mice, and APOE3+/+ and APOE4+/+ mice with only one functional copy of the Abca1 gene (E3/Abca1+/-; E4/Abca1+/-). TBI-treated mice received a craniotomy followed by a controlled cortical impact (CCI) brain injury in the left hemisphere; sham-treated mice received the same surgical procedure without the impact. We performed RNA-seq using samples from cortices and hippocampi collected at 14 days post-injury, followed by genome-wide differential gene expression analysis.

Project description:The cholecystokinin B (2) receptor knockout (Cckbr KO) protects against allodynia induced by chronic constriction injury (CCI). The mechanism of this phenomenon is unknown, but must involve persistent changes in pain modulation and/or inflammatory pathways. We performed a gene expression study in two brain areas (midbrain and medulla) after surgical induction of CCI in Cckbr KO and wild-type (wt) control mice. The patterns of gene expression differences suggest that the immune system is activated in higher brain structures following CCI in the wt mice. The strongest differences include genes related to the MAPK pathway activation and cytokine production. In Cckbr KO mice this expressional pattern was absent. In addition, we found significant elevation of the Toll-like receptor 4 (Tlr4) in the supraspinal structures of the mice with deleted Cckbr compared to wt control mice. This up-regulation is most likely induced by the deletion of Cckbr. We suggest that there is a functional deficiency in the Tlr4 pathway which disables the development of neuropathic pain in Cckbr KO mice. Indeed, real time PCR analysis detected a CCI-induced upregulation of Tlr4 and Il1b expression in the lumbar region of wt but not Cckbr KO mice. Gene expression profiling indicates that elements of the immune response are not activated in Cckbr KO mice following CCI. Our findings suggest that there may be a role for CCK in the regulation of innate immunity. Experiment Overall Design: 32 chips altogether, 4 mutant mice sham-operated, 4 control mice sham-operated, 4 mutant mice CCI-operated, 4 control mice CCI-operated, midbarin and medulla samples from each animals

Project description:Traumatic brain injury (TBI) initiates not only complex neurovascular and glial changes within the brain but also pathophysiological responses that extend beyond the central nervous system. The peripheral response to TBI has become an intensive area of research, as these systemic perturbations can induce dysfunction in multiple organ systems. As there are no approved therapeutics for TBI, it is imperative that we investigate the peripheral response to TBI to identify targets for future intervention. Of particular interest is the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Even in the absence of polytrauma, brain-injured individuals are at increased risk of suffering from GI-related morbidity and mortality. Symptoms such as intestinal dysmotility, inflammation, ulceration, and fecal incontinence can drastically diminish quality of life. The GI tract is inhabited by trillions of microbes that have been implicated as modulators of many neurological disorders. Clinical and preclinical studies implicate gut dysbiosis, a pathological imbalance in the normally symbiotic microbiota, as both a consequence of TBI as well as a contributing factor to brain damage. However, our understanding of this interplay is still limited. While relatively little is known about the effects of TBI on the structure and function of the GI tract, prior studies report that experimental TBI induces intestinal barrier dysfunction and morphological changes. To confirm these findings in the current model of TBI, male C57BL/6J mice underwent a sham control or a controlled cortical impact (CCI) procedure to induce a contusive brain injury, and intestinal permeability was assessed at 4 h, 8 h, 1 d, and 3 d post-injury. An acute, transient increase in permeability was observed at 4 h after CCI. Histological analyses of the ileum and colon at multiple time points from 4 h to 4 wks revealed no overt morphological changes, suggesting that CCI induced a short-lived physiologic dysfunction without major structural alterations to the GI tract. As the microbiome is a modulator of GI physiology, we performed 16s gene sequencing on fecal samples collected prior to and over the first month after CCI or sham injury. Microbial community diversity was assessed using common metrics of alpha and beta diversity. Alpha diversity was lower in the CCI injury group and beta diversity differed among groups, although these effects were not observed in all metrics. Subsequent differential abundance analysis revealed that the phylum Verrucamicrobiota was increased in CCI mice at 1, 2, and 3 d post-injury when compared to sham mice. Subsequent qPCR identified the Verrucamicrobiota species as Akkermansia Muciniphila, an obligate anaerobe that resides in and helps regulate the intestinal mucus layer and barrier. To determine whether TBI promotes changes to the GI tract favorable for the proliferation of A. muciniphila, mucus-producing goblet cells and the level of GI hypoxia were evaluated. Goblet cell density in the medial colon was significantly increased at 1 d, while colon hypoxia was significantly increased at 3 d. Taken together, these studies show that CCI induces transient intestinal barrier dysfunction followed by increased goblet cell density and hypoxia in the colon with a concomitant increase in A. muciniphila that may suggest a compensatory response to systemic stress after TBI.

Project description:Efficacious stem cell-based therapies for traumatic brain injury (TBI) depend on successful delivery, migration, and engraftment of stem cells to induce neuroprotection. L-myc expressing human neural stem cells (LMNSC008) demonstrate an inherent tropism to injury sites after intranasal (IN) administration. We hypothesize that IN delivered LMNSC008 cells migrate to primary and secondary injury sites and modulate biomarkers associated with neuroprotection and tissue regeneration. To test this, immunocompetent adult female rats received a controlled cortical impact injury (CCI) or sham surgery. LMNSC008 cells or a vehicle (VEH) were administered IN on postoperative days 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17. The distribution and migration of eGFP-expressing LMNSC008 cells were quantified over 1 mm-thick optically cleared (CLARITY) coronal brain sections from TBI and SHAM controls. NSC migration was observed along white matter tracts projecting toward the hippocampus and regions of TBI. ELISA and Nanostring assays revealed a shift in tissue gene expression in LMNSC008 treated rats relative to controls. LMNSC008 treatment reduced expression of genes and pathways involved in inflammatory response, microglial function, and various cytokines and receptors. The data demonstrate a robust proof-of-concept for LMNSC008 therapy for TBI and provides a strong rationale for IN delivery for translation in TBI patients.

Project description:In contrast to the considerable in vitro and in vivo data demonstrating a decrease in cytochrome P450 (CYP) activity in inflammation and infection, clinically, traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in an increase in CYP and UDP glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) activity. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of TBI alone and along with treatment with either erythropoietin (EPO) or anakinra on gene expression of hepatic inflammatory proteins and drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters in a cortical contusion impact (CCI) injury animal model. Microarray-based transcriptional profiling was used to determine the effect on gene expression at 24 h, 72 h and 7 days post-CCI.

Project description:In order to assess the impact of treadmill exercise on traumatic brain injury outcomes, we subjected male and female swiss webster mice to a controlled cortical impact (CCI), followed by 10 days of sedentary, low-, moderate-, or high-intensity treadmill exercise. Outcome measures included neurometabolic function, cognitive recovery, oxidative stress, pathophysiology, and single nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA seq). The snRNA seq study was conducted on both male and female mice, and included a total of 2 replicates (each was a pool of 2 tissue samples) from each of the following groups: male sham sedentary, male CCI sedentary, male CCI low, male CCI high, female sham sedentary, female CCI sedentary, female CCI low, female CCI high. Our data reveal exercise intensity- and sex-dependent effects of treadmill exercise following injury. Transcriptomic changes were largely limited to the low-intensity exercised CCI males.

Project description:Traumatic brain injury (TBI) alters and dysregulates the expression of thousands of genes in the brain. Since some of the most common problems in TBI patients are learning and memory deficits, we are studying the effects of TBI on the hippocampus, a region of the brain which is essential for learning and memory and which is known to be particularly vulnerable to TBI. We are interested in understanding how potential neuroprotective drugs alter the TBI-induced gene expression profile. The objective of this study is to elucidate and compare the differential gene expression profiles in the hippocampus of naive, sham-control, TBI and TBI plus drug treated rats. JM6, PMI-006 and E33 are three compounds with neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects. Our goal is to determine if different neuroprotective compounds have similar effects on common gene targets. These genes and the cell signaling pathways linked to them would then be the target of new therapeutic strategies for TBI. Rats were prepared for fluid percussion traumatic brain injury or sham injury (naïve rats had no anesthesia and were not handled in any way and gene expression in their brains serve as baseline data) and 24 hr post-injury, hippocampi were obtained, and stored in RNA later. Total RNA was isolated, quantitified and used for Agilent microarray analysis at GenUs Biosystems. Each group of naive, sham control, TBI and TBI plus JM6, TBI plus PMI-006 and TBI plus E33 (estrogen) has three biological replicates.

Project description:Using an experimental TBI rat model of mild/moderate Controlled Cortical Impact (CCI) injury, we combined large-scale proteomics identification and relative quantification using Spatially-Resolved Microproteomics with MALDI MS Imaging of Lipids. Spatially by studying different regions in the brain post injury in a coronal view, with main focus on the injury site itself. Temporally by studying the acute and subacute phase post injury, including injured rat brains at 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, and 10 days post injury. Direct on-tissue micro-digestion followed by micoextraction from 1 mm2 surface area within the injured cortical tissue were subjected to LC-MS & MS/MS analysis using HR MS. In addition, several identified potential biomarkers within our study were used to stimulate dorsal root ganglion (DRG), astrocyte, and macrophage cell lines to obtain a better understanding of their role and contribution in the injury.
