Spatiotemporal multi-omics decoding of the developing human spinal cord I

ABSTRACT: The human spinal cord contains diverse cell types, governed by a series of spatiotemporal events for tissue assembly and functions. However, the regulation of cell fate specification in the human developing spinal cord remains largely unknown. By performing single-cell and spatial multi-omics methods, we integrated the datasets and created a comprehensive human developmental atlas of the first trimester spinal cord. Unexpectedly, we discovered unique events in human spinal cord development, including early loss of active neural stem cells, simultaneous occurrence of neurogenesis and gliogenesis, and distinct spatiotemporal genetic regulations of fate choices. We also identified distinct regulations of cancer stem cells in ependymomas from our atlas. Thus, we demonstrate spatiotemporal genetic regulation of human spinal cord development and its potential to understand novel disease mechanisms.

Expression profiling of Aldh1l1-precursors in the developing spinal cord reveals glial lineage-specific genes and direct Sox9-Nfe2l1 interactions

Project description:Developmental regulation of gliogenesis in the mammalian CNS is incompletely understood, in part due to a limited repertoire of lineage-specific genes. We used Aldh1l1-GFP as a marker for gliogenic radial glia and later-stage precursors of developing astrocytes and performed gene expression profiling of these cells. We then used this dataset to identify candidate transcription factors that may serve as glial markers or regulators of glial fate. Our analysis generated a database of developmental stage-related markers of Aldh1l1+ cells between murine embryonic day 13.5-18.5. Using these data we identify the bZIP transcription factor Nfe2l1 and demonstrate that it promotes glial fate under direct Sox9 regulatory control. Thus, this dataset represents a resource for identifying novel regulators of glial development. 18 total samples consisting of three biological replicates each of flow sorted embryonic spinal cord Aldh1l1-GFP positive cells and whole cord, spanning the radial glial to astrocyte transition

Transcription profiling time series analyzing the molecular events in rat spinal cord sections following mechanical 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. Hypothesis: Spinal cord injury (SCI) induces a cascade of molecular events including the activation of genes associated with transcription factors, inflammation, oxidative stress, ionic imbalance, apoptosis and neuroregeneration which suggests the existance of endogenous reparative attempts. However, not all mechanisms following SCI are well known. Specific Aim: The goal of this project is to analyze the molecular events following spinal cord injury 1 cm above, below, and at the site of injury (T9), aiming at finding potential new targets to improve recovery and therapy.

Genome-Wide Gene Expression Profiling of Spinal Cord Injury in Rat

Project description:The aneurysm clip impact-compression model of spinal cord injury (SCI) in animals mimics the primary mechanism of SCI in human, i.e. acute impact and persisting compression; and its histo-pathological and behavioural outcomes are extensively similar to the human SCI. In order to understand the distinct molecular events underlying this injury model, an analysis of global gene expression of the acute, subacute and chronic stages of a moderate to severe injury to the rat spinal cord was conducted using a microarray gene chip approach. Rat thoracic spinal cord (T7) was injured using aneurysm clip impact-compression injury model and the epicenter area of injured spinal cord was isolated for RNA extraction and processing and hybridization on Affymetrix GeneChip arrays.

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.

Spinal Ependymoma Gene Expression Data

Project description:Purpose: Myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE) is a distinct histological variant of ependymoma arising commonly in the spinal cord. Despite an overall favorable prognosis, distant metastases, subarachnoid dissemination, and late recurrences have been reported. Currently the only effective treatment for MPE is gross-total resection. We characterized the genomic and transcriptional landscape of spinal ependymomas in an effort to delineate the genetic basis of this disease and identify new leads for therapy. Experimental Design: Gene expression profiling was performed on 35 spinal ependymomas. Functional validation experiments were performed on tumour lysates consisting of assays measuring Pyruvate Kinase M activity (PKM), Hexokinase activity (HK), and lactate production. Results: At a gene expression level, we demonstrate that spinal Grade II and MPE are molecularly and biologically distinct. These findings are supported by specific copy number alterations occurring in each histological variant. Pathway analysis revealed that MPE are characterized by increased cellular metabolism, associated with up-regulation of HIF-1α. These findings were validated by western blot analysis demonstrating increased protein expression of HIF-1α, HK2, PDK1, and phosphorylation of PDHE1A. Functional assays were performed on MPE lysates, which demonstrated decreased PKM activity, increased HK activity, and elevated lactate production. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that MPE may be driven by a Warburg metabolic phenotype. The key enzymes promoting the Warburg phenotype: HK2, PKM2, and PDK are targetable by small molecule inhibitors/activators, and should be considered for evaluation in future clinical trials for MPE. RNA from 35 primary spinal ependymomas (fresh frozen) were isolated by pulverization in liquid nitrogen, and extraction using the Trizol Method (Invitrogen) [PMID:21840481]

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.

A shared temporal chromatin program for ventral spinal cord progenitors [CaTS-ATAC]

Project description:The vertebrate neural tube generates a large diversity of molecularly and functionally distinct neurons and glia from a small progenitor pool. While the role of spatial patterning in organising cell fate specification has been extensively studied, temporal patterning, which controls the timing of cell type generation, is equally important. Here we define a global temporal programme in the spinal cord. This governs cell fate choices by regulating chromatin accessibility in neural progenitors. Perturbation of this cis-regulatory programme affects sequential transitions in spinal cord progenitors and the identity of progeny. The temporal programme operates in parallel to spatial patterning, ensuring the timely availability of regulatory elements for spatial determinants to direct cell-type specific gene expression. These findings identify a chronotopic spatiotemporal integration strategy in which a global temporal chromatin programme determines the output of a spatial gene regulatory network resulting in the temporally and spatially ordered allocation of cell type identity.
