Shared inflammatory glial cell signature after brain injury, revealed by spatial, temporal and cell-type-specific profiling of the murine cerebral cortex [spatial transcriptomics]

ABSTRACT: Traumatic brain injury leads to a highly orchestrated immune- and glial cell response partially responsible for long-lasting disability and the development of secondary neurodegenerative diseases. A holistic understanding of the mechanisms controlling the responses of specific cell types and their crosstalk is required to develop an efficient strategy for better regeneration. Here, we combined spatial and single-cell transcriptomics to chart the transcriptomic signature of the injured murine cerebral cortex, and identified specific states of astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocyte precursor cells contributing to this signature. Interestingly, these cellular populations share a large fraction of injury-regulated genes, including inflammatory programs downstream of the innate immune-associated pathways Cxcr3 and Tlr1/2. Systemic manipulation of these pathways decreased the reactivity state of glial cells associated with poor regeneration. The functional relevance of the newly discovered shared signature of glial cells highlights the importance of our resource enabling comprehensive analysis of early events after brain injury.

Activation of innate immune pathways after brain injury promotes scar formation and impairs tissue recovery

Project description:Scar formation is a major hindrance to central nervous system regeneration upon traumatic injury. Glial cells are key players during the wound healing process, and their reaction to injury determines the extent of tissue restoration. Here, we used the regenerative potential of the zebrafish telencephalon to identify specific molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating glial scar formation. We demonstrated that contact of the cerebrospinal fluid with the brain parenchyma after injury activates toll-like receptor 2 (Tlr2) and the chemokine receptor 3 (Cxcr3) innate immunity pathways leading to initiation of a glial scar. These pathways were critical for scarring even after ablation of microglia and infiltrating monocytes. Our data support a specific role for the injury-induced Tlr1/2 and Cxcr3 signaling pathways in controlling proliferation of the oligodendrocyte progenitors and therefore exacerbated glial reactivity, contributing to scar formation. Interference with the Tlr1/2 and Cxcr3 pathways after injury alleviated glial scar formation and improved tissue restoration.

Single cell expression profiling of NG2 cell lineage from adult mice cortex three days after focal cerebral ischemia

Project description:Ischemic stroke is a serious medical condition that leads to neurological symptoms such as loss of motor and cognitive function. Focal cerebral ischemia (FCI) occurs due to interruption of blood supply to the site of injury, leading to the death of brain cells. Cells carrying Neural-glial antigen 2 (NG2) include glial cells serving primarily as olidogendrocyte precursors and a portion of pericytes. NG2 glia proliferate rapidly after ischemia and migrate to the site of injury, participate with astrocytes in glial scar formation, and contribute to the regeneration of the brain tissue. The ability of NG2 glia to differentiate into a different cell type than oligodendrocytes has been described but is still controversial. We therefore isolated NG2 cells and their derivatives labeled with tdTomato red fluorescent protein from the cortex of Rosa26-tdTomato/Cspg4-CreERT2 mice three days after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Sham-operated animals were used as healthy controls (CTRL). We aimed to identify NG2 cell types and their derivatives in the cortex of healthy and ischemic mice and determine their incidence as well as characteristic gene expression.

AP-1cFos/JunB/miR-200a regulate the pro-regenerative glial cell response during axolotl spinal cord regeneration

Project description:Salamanders have the remarkable ability to functionally regenerate after spinal cord transection. In response to injury, GFAP+ glial cells in the axolotl spinal cord proliferate and migrate to replace the missing neural tube and create a permissive environment for axon regeneration. Molecular pathways that regulate the pro-regenerative axolotl glial cell response are poorly understood. Here we show axolotl glial cells up-regulate AP-1cFos/JunB after injury, which promotes a pro-regenerative glial cell response. Axolotl glial cells directly repress c-Jun expression via up-regulation of miR-200a. Inhibition of miR-200a during regeneration causes defects in axonal regrowth and transcriptomic analysis revealed that miR-200a inhibition leads to differential regulation of genes involved with reactive gliosis, the glial scar, ECM remodeling and axon guidance. This work identifies a novel role for miR-200a in inhibiting reactive gliosis in glial cell in axolotl during spinal cord regeneration

Adult enteric Dclk1-positive glial and neuronal cells reveal distinct responses to acute intestinal injury

Project description:Intestinal ganglionic cells in the adult enteric nervous system (ENS) are continually exposed to stimuli from the surrounding microenvironment, and need at times to respond to disturbed homeostasis following acute intestinal injury. The kinase DCLK1 and intestinal Dclk1-positive cells have been reported to contribute to intestinal regeneration. While Dclk1-positive cells are present in adult enteric ganglia, their cellular identity and response to acute injury have not been investigated in detail. Here, we reveal the presence of distinct Dclk1-tdTom+/CD49b+ glial-like and Dclk1-tdTom+/CD49b- neuronal cell types in adult myenteric ganglia. These ganglionic cells demonstrate distinct patterns of tracing over time, yet show a similar expansion in response to elevated serotonergic signaling. Interestingly, Dclk1-tdTom+ glial-like and neuronal cell types appear resistant to acute irradiation injury-mediated cell death. Moreover, Dclk1-tdTom+/CD49b+ glial-like cells show prominent changes in gene expression profiles induced by injury, in contrast to Dclk1-tdTom+/CD49b- neuronal cell types. Finally, subsets of Dclk1-tdTom+/CD49b+ glial-like cells demonstrate prominent overlap with Nestin and p75NTR, and strong responses to elevated serotonergic signaling or acute injury. These findings, together with their role in early development and their neural-crest like gene expression signature, suggest the presence of reserve progenitor cells in the adult Dclk1 glial cell lineage.

Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals a Population of Dormant Neural Stem Cells that Become Activated upon Brain Injury

Project description:Heterogeneous pools of adult neural stem cells (NSCs) contribute to brain maintenance and regeneration after injury. The balance of NSC activation and quiescence, as well as the induction of lineage-specific transcription factors, may contribute to diversity of neuronal and glial fates. To identify molecular hallmarks governing these characteristics, we performed single-cell sequencing of an unbiased pool of adult subventricular zone NSCs. This analysis identified a discrete, dormant NSC subpopulation that already expresses distinct combinations of lineage-specific transcription factors during homeostasis. Dormant NSCs enter a primed-quiescent state before activation, which is accompanied by downregulation of glycolytic metabolism, Notch, and BMP signaling and a concomitant upregulation of lineage-specific transcription factors and protein synthesis. In response to brain ischemia, interferon gamma signaling induces dormant NSC subpopulations to enter the primed-quiescent state. This study unveils general principles underlying NSC activation and lineage priming and opens potential avenues for regenerative medicine in the brain. Single cell RNAseq of cells isolated from their in vivo niche in the subventricular zone, Striatum and Cortex during homeostasis as well as following ischemic injury. In total 272 single cells. (<WT>: homeostasis samples; <Ischemic_injured> and <Ischemic_injured_and_Interferon_gamma_knockout>: samples following ischemic injuried).

A chemical genetic approach identifies piperazine antipsychotics as promoters of CNS neurite growth on inhibitory substrates.

Project description:Injury to the central nervous system (CNS) may result in lifelong loss of function due, in part, to the regenerative failure of CNS neurons. Major barriers to regeneration faced by injured CNS neurons include inhibitory proteins derived from myelin and the astroglial scar. Previously, we described the identification of a novel compound, F05, which promotes neurite growth from neurons challenged with inhibitory substrates in vitro, and promotes axonal regeneration in vivo (Usher et al., 2010). To identify additional regeneration promoting compounds, we used the microarray derived gene expression signature of F05 to query the Broad Institute Connectivity Map, a database of gene expression profiles for cells treated with >1,300 compounds. Unexpectedly, F05 induced changes in gene expression remarkably similar to those seen with a group of piperazine phenothiazine antipsychotics (PhAPs). We found that, in contrast to antipsychotics of other structural classes, PhAPs were able to promote neurite growth of CNS neurons cultured on two different glial-derived inhibitory substrates, but did not promote growth on a permissive substrate. Pharmacological studies suggest that the ability of PhAPs to promote growth depends on antagonism of calmodulin signaling, but not on dopamine receptor antagonism. Our findings shed light on mechanisms underlying neurite-inhibitory signaling, and suggest a potential pathway for development of novel treatments for CNS injury. 3 Biological Replicates of Vehicle Treated (0.05% DMSO) + 3 Biological Replicates of F05 Treated (5 μM)

Glial progenitor heterogeneity, key regulators and cell signaling revealed by single-cell RNA-sequencing provide insights to regeneration in spinal cord injury

Project description:Recent studies in brain and spinal cord have revealed the heterogenous nature of astrocytes; however, how diverse constituents of astrocyte lineage cells are regulated in adult spinal cord after injury and contribute to regeneration remains elusive. We performed single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) of astrocyte lineage cells from sub-chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) models, identified and compared with the subpopulations in the acute stage data. We found the subpopulations with distinct functional enrichment and their identities defined by subpopulation-specific transcription factors and regulons. Our analyses revealed the molecular signature, location and morphologies of potential residential neural progenitors or neural stem cells in the adult spinal cord before and after injury, and the intermediate cells enriched in neuronal markers that could potentially transition into other subpopulations. The investigation of stage-specific cell-cell communications among astrocyte lineage cells and with other cell types in the tissue generated valuable insight into signaling pathway networks in SCI. This study has significantly expanded the knowledge of the heterogeneity and cell state transition of glial progenitors in adult spinal cord before and after injury.

FOSL1 modulates Schwann cell responses in the wound microenvironment and regulates peripheral nerve regeneration

Project description:Peripheral glial Schwann cells switch to a repair state after nerve injury, proliferate to supply lost cell population, migrate to form regeneration tracks, and generates a permissive microenvironment for nerve regeneration. Exploring essential regulators of the repair responses of Schwann cells may benefit the clinical treatment for peripheral nerve injury. In the present study, FOSL1 regulates Schwann cell phenotype modulation and provided a novel therapeutic approach to orchestrate the regeneration and functional recovery of injured peripheral nerves.

Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of rat's brain miRNAs

Project description:We investigated the therapeutic effect of the extracellular vesicles secreted by glial progenitor cells (GPC-EV) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cell in a traumatic brain injury model. The injury was modeled using the dosed concussion to the open brain method. The male Wistar rats were performed traumatic brain injury (TBI), and after 24 hours animals were randomly divided into two groups: group 1 — rats with intranasal administration of PBS (control), and group 2 — rats with similar administration of extracellular visicles (EV) derived from glial progenitor cells. miRNA PCR analysis of brain tissues ( cortex, striatum, hippocampus) were performed on postoperative day 7 to investigate miRNA associated with apoptosis, and inflammation.
