Single nucleus RNA-sequencing defines unexpected diversity of cholinergic neuron types in the adult mouse spinal cord

ABSTRACT: We developed a targeted single nucleus RNA sequencing approach to enrich and transcriptomically characterize cholinergic neurons of the adult mouse spinal cord. Our data expose markers for known classes of cholinergic neurons and their extremely rich diversity. Visceral/preganglionic motor neurons could be divided into more than a dozen transcriptomic classes with anatomically restricted localization along the spinal cord. The complexity of the skeletal motor neurons was also reflected in our analysis with alpha, gamma, and a third subtype clearly distinguished. We further identified previously unrecognized subtypes of cholinergic interneurons.

Graded arrays of spinal and supraspinal V2a interneuron subtypes underlie forelimb and hindlimb motor control [scRNA-seq]

Project description:The spinal cord contains neural networks that enable regionally-distinct motor outputs along the body axis. Nevertheless, it remains unclear how segment-specific motor computations are processed because the cardinal interneuron classes that control motor neurons appear uniform at each level of the spinal cord. V2a interneurons are essential to both fore and hindlimb movements and here we identified two major types that emerge during development: Type-I neurons marked by high Chx10 form recurrent networks with neighboring spinal neurons, and Type-II that downregulate Chx10 and project to supraspinal structures. Type-I and -II V2a interneurons are arrayed in counter-gradients and this network activates different patterns of motor output at cervical and lumbar levels. Single cell RNA-seq revealed Type-I and -II V2a neurons are each comprised of multiple subtypes. Our findings uncover a molecular and anatomical organization of V2a interneurons reminiscent of the orderly way motor neurons are divided into columns and pools.

Expression data from adult rat tail MNs after 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 reappearence of plateau potentials in motor neurons and the development of spasticity after spinalization. To understand the molecular mechanism behind this phenomenon we examined the transcriptional response of the motor neurons after spinal cord injury. We used a rat tail injury model where a complete transection of the caudal (S2) rat spinal cord leads to an immidate flaccid paralysis of the tail and a subsequent appearence of spasticity 2-3 weeks post injury that develops into strong spasticity after 2 months. Gene expression changes were studied in motor neurons 21 and 60 days after complete spinal transection where the tail exhibits clear signs of spasticity. Tail MNs were retorgradely labelled with flourogold injected into the muscle and intra peritoneally. 5-7 days after tracer injections the spinal cord was dissected out, snab 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. 27 samples were hybridized onto chips, 8 Spi-21, 8 Spi-60, 6 ShamC-21 and 5 ShamC-60.

Transcription profiling of mouse laser capture microdissected SOD1 G93A motor neurons reveals cellular pathways involved in the adaptation and progression of motor neuron injury in the mouse model of familial ALS

Project description:Microarray analysis has been applied to the study of ALS in order to investigate gene expression in whole spinal cord homogenates of SOD1 G93A mice and human ALS cases, although the massive presence of glial cells and inflammatory factors has made it difficult to define which gene expression changes were motor neuron specific. Recently, laser capture microdissection (LCM), combined with microarray analysis, has allowed the identification of motor neuron specific changes in gene expression in human ALS cases. The aim of the present study is to combine LCM and microarray analysis to study how motor neurons in the spinal cord of transgenic SOD1 G93A mice and transgenic SOD1 WT respond to stimuli determined by the presence of the human mutant protein throughout the evolution of the stages in motor neuron injury Experiment Overall Design: Motor neurons have been isolated from the spinal cord of G93A mice and non transgenic littermates at different time points and the transcription expression profile of the isolated motor neurons has been analysed

Transcription profiling of different types of adult mouse motoneuron columnar cells to compare their molecular characteristics

Project description:Studies in the developing spinal cord suggest that different motoneuron (MN) cell types express very different genetic programs, but the degree to which adult programs differ is unknown. To compare genetic programs between adult MN columnar cell types, we used laser capture microdissection (LCM) and Affymetrix microarrays to create expression profiles for three columnar cell types: lateral and medial MNs from lumbar segments and sympathetic preganglionic motoneurons located in the thoracic intermediolateral nucleus. A comparison of the three expression profiles indicated that 7% (813/11,552) of the genes showed significant differences in their expression levels. The largest differences were observed between sympathetic preganglionic MNs and the lateral motor column, with 6% (706/11,552) of the genes being differentially expressed. Significant differences in expression were observed for 1.8% (207/11,552) of the genes when comparing sympathetic preganglionic MNs with the medial motor column. Lateral and medial MNs showed the least divergence, with 1.3% (150/11,552) of the genes being differentially expressed. These data indicate that the amount of divergence in expression profiles between identified columnar MNs does not strictly correlate with divergence of function as defined by innervation patterns (somatic/muscle vs. autonomic/viscera). Classification of the differentially expressed genes with regard to function showed that they underpin all fundamental cell systems and processes, although most differentially expressed genes encode proteins involved in signal transduction. Mining the expression profiles to examine transcription factors essential for MN development suggested that many of the same transcription factors participate in combinatorial codes in embryonic and adult neurons, but patterns of expression change significantly

Genome-wide expression analysis of human fibroblasts and converted neurons

Project description:Human fibroblasts can be directly converted into cholinergic neurons by Neurogenin 2 (Neurog2 or NGN2) under the treatments of small molecules. Genome-wide analysis of gene expression was performed to examine the similarity of converted neurons to samples from human brain or spinal cord. Total RNA obtained from isolated human fetal lung fibroblasts or converted neurons at 21 days. Commercially available total RNAs from adult human brains and spinal cords were used as controls.

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.
