Astrocyte-selective transduction with AAV5 viral vector does not exacerbate astrogliosis or alter tissue immune responses following spinal injury

ABSTRACT: Following contusive spinal injury astrocytes undergo inflammatory activation and proliferation in a process known as astrogliosis. Reactive astrocytes are attractive therapeutic targets as they sit central to many of the immune recruitment, injury response, and tissue healing processes of the spinal cord. However, methods of targeted expression of exogenous therapeutic genes within astrocytes must be validated to not alter the normal immunological involvement of astrocytes. To investigate the effect of transgene expression within astrocytes upon the immunological state of the contused cord, we injected the astrocyte-selective AAV5-GfaABC1D-dYFP reporter vector into an animal model of moderate contusive spinal cord injury. Bulk RNA microarrays were used to assess transcriptomic changes of the perilesional tissue.

Gene expression profiles in the spinal cord below the lesion level and influence of treadmill locomotor training

Project description:Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to loss of locomotor function. Neuroplasticity of spinal circuitry underlies some functional recovery and therefore represents a therapeutic target to improve locomotor function following SCI. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms mediating neuroplasticity below the lesion level are not fully understood. The present study performed a gene expression profiling in the rat lumbar spinal cord at 1 and 3 weeks after contusive SCI at T9 compared to control rat that received sham injury (laminectomy). The below-level gene expression profiles were compared with those of animals that were subjected to treadmill locomotor training. Rat lumbar spinal cords were taken for the microarray analysis at 1 and 3 weeks after contusive spinal cord injury at the T9 level. Another group of rats received treadmill locomotor training for 3 weeks, and theirs spinal cords were harvested for the microarray. The changes in gene expression after spinal cord injury were analyzed at the two time points. The influence of treadmill locomotor training was evaluated by comparing gene expression profiles between animals with or without treadmill training.

Systematic analysis of purified astrocytes after spinal cord injury unveils lncRNA Zeb2os as a novel molecular target for astrogliosis [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Astrocytes are the predominant component of the scar and play crucial roles in spinal cord injury (SCI) at acute injury stage. Understanding the complex reactive astroglial contributions to SCI pathophysiologies is important for developing therapeutic strategies. To understand the mechanisms of astrogliosis in SCI, and to identify novel molecular targets to improve the injury environment and axonal regeneration, we have studied gene expression changes in SCI epicenter tissue using RNA-Seq at chronic stages (1 month and 3 months) in mouse moderate contusive injury models. Importantly, we have also FACS purified cells successfully from adult spinal cord using transgenic mice and generated RNA-Seq results for both acute (7 days) and chronic (1 month and 3 months) injury stages. The SCI RNA-Seq analysis provided valuable information on the gene expression in injury environment and astrocytes after SCI. In addition to protein coding genes, we were the first to systematically analyze the expression profiles of Long Noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in SCI and purified astrocytes. We have tested a number of candidates and found gene of interest Zeb2os which is a highly conserved lncRNA in human. Zeb2os expression has high correlation with an essential transcription factor (TF) in astrogliosis, Stat3, and its antisense protein coding gene Zeb2. Furthermore, our ChIP-seq experiment showed STAT3 bound to Zeb2 promoter region, thus Zeb2os may regulate Zeb2 and Stat3 directly or indirectly and STAT3 may regulate Zeb2 expression. Moreover, we have demonstrated for the first time by shRNA gene knockdown (KD) and functional assays that Zeb2os plays an important functional role in astrogliosis. We found Zeb2os KD in primary astrocytes affected a number of downstream genes by RNA-Seq, for example, Gfap, Zeb2, and Stat3 level decreased and reduced astrocyte proliferation.

Discovery of potential candidate proteins reprogramming spinal cord derived astrocytes into neurons by proteomic analysis

Project description:Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a common but devastating trauma of the central nerve system. In this study, we reprogrammed cultured spinal-cord reactive astrocytes into neurons by Neurod1 expression. The mechanism of programmed conversion from astrocytes to neurons has not been clarified yet. Thus, we used label-free proteomics to identify differentially expressed proteins in Neurod1 over-expressed astrocytes and control group. A total of 1952 proteins were identified, including 92 significantly changed proteins. Among these proteins, 8 proteins were identified as candidates involving in the process of the reprogramming, based on their biological function and fold change in the bioinformatic analysis. Our study revealed that that Neurod1 can directly reprogram cultured spinal-cord reactive astrocytes into neurons, and several proteins that could play a significant role during the neuronal reprogramming were discovered.

Direct Reprogramming of Human Astrocytes into Spinal Cord Organoids Facilitating Spinal Cord Regeneration

Project description:Human astrocytes have reported to reprogram into neurons, but they have yet to be induced to three-dimensional (3D) neural tissue for neural organogenesis. Here, we demonstrate a remarkable strategy for 3D organoid generation by direct reprogramming human astrocytes. By combining overexpression OCT4, suppression p53 and small molecules CHIR99021, SB431542, RepSox and Y27632, termed as Op53-CSBRY, we successfully reprogramed human astrocytes into neural ectodermal cells and further induced human 3D-brain organoid. Those organoids can be finally induced into spinal cord organoids by activating FGF, SHH and BMP signaling. The grafts of Human astrocyte derived spinal cord organoids (hADSC-Organs) can survived, differentiated into spinal cord neurons, migrated long distance, formed synaptic connectivity with host neurons, bridged complete injury spinal cord tissue in mice. This method indicates that human astrocytes could be directly triggered neural organogenesis, and may hold a great promising to support local astrocytes in situ organogenesis after brain damages, such as stroke and spinal cord injury.

Transcriptome response to endoplasmic reticulum stress in rat oligodendrocyte precursor cells

Project description:In the US, there are approximately 12,000 new cases of traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) each year. Currently there are no neuroprotective treatments to improve outcome of SCI. Our previous research has revealed that endoplasmic reticulum stress response (ERSR) is an important contributor to oligodendrocyte death and subsequent white matter loss and locomotor impairment after contusive spinal cord injury in mice. ERSR affects activity of multiple transcription factors regulating either pro-survival- or apoptosis-promoting genes. Therefore, we characterized transcriptomic changes in ERSR-challenged oligodendrocytes as a first step to identify new targets for therapies that may attenuate their loss after SCI.

Mature oligodendrocyte (OL) translatome changes at various times after moderate contusive spinal cord injury at the thoracic T9 level

Project description:OL translatome was determined in female RiboTag:Plp1-CreERT2 mice (C57Bl6 background) at 2, 10, and, 42 days after moderate contusive T9 SCI. Ribotag expression was induced by daily tamoxifen injections (1 mg i.p. over 8 days). Three weeks after completion of the induction protocol moderate contusive SCI was performed at T9 level (IH imactor, 50 kdyn). Uninjured mice (naive) were used as controls. At the time of surgery, animal age was 10-12 weeks. After euthanasia, RNA was isolated from a 5 mm spinal cord segment spanning the injury epicenter. OL tranlsatome was immunopurified using anti-HA antibody and protein A/G coupled magnetic beads following the Ribotag protocol. Total spinal cord RNA and OL translatome RNA samples were analyzed by RNASeq. Each biological sample was prepared by pooling material from two mice (3 biological samples representing 6 animals were used for each timepoint).
