Cytokine Polarized Bone Marrow Neutrophils Drive Axon Regeneration

ABSTRACT: The adult central nervous system (CNS) has a limited capacity for self-repair. Severed CNS axons typically do not regrow. There is an unmet need for treatments specifically designed to enhance neuronal viability, facilitate CNS axon regeneration, and ultimately restore lost neurological functions to individuals with traumatic CNS injury, multiple sclerosis, and stroke, among other disorders. Here we demonstrate that both mouse and human bone marrow (BM) neutrophils upregulate markers of alternative activation, and acquire the ability to promote neurite outgrowth, following polarization with a combination of recombinant interleukin-4 (IL-4) and granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). Moreover, adoptively transferring IL-4/G-CSF polarized BM neutrophils into experimental models of CNS injury resulted in significant axon regeneration within the optic nerve and spinal cord. The findings reported in this paper hold significant implications for the future development of autologous myeloid cell-based therapies that may bring us closer to effective solutions for reversing CNS damage.

Nfe2l3 promotes neuroprotection and long-distance axon regeneration after injury in vivo [bulkRNA-seq]

Project description:Nuclear factor erythroid 2 like (Nfe2l) gene family members 1-3 mediate cellular response to oxidative stress, including in the central nervous system (CNS). However, neuronal functions of Nfe2l3 are unknown. Here, we comparatively evaluated expression of Nfe2l1, Nfe2l2, and Nfe2l3 in singe cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq)-profiled cortical and retinal ganglion cell (RGC) CNS projection neurons, investigated whether Nfe2l3 regulates neuroprotection and axon regeneration after CNS injury in vivo, and characterized a gene network associated with Nfe2l3 in neurons. We showed that, Nfe2l3 expression transiently peaks in developing immature cortical and RGC projection neurons, but is nearly abolished in adult neurons and is not upregulated after injury. Furthermore, within the retina, Nfe2l3 is enriched in RGCs, whereas Nfe2l1 and Nfe2l2 are expressed robustly in other retinal cell types as well, and are also upregulated after injury. We also found that, expressing Nfe2l3 in injured RGCs through localized intralocular viral vector delivery promotes neuroprotection and long-distance axon regeneration after optic nerve injury in vivo. Moreover, Nfe2l3 treatment provided a similar extent of neuroprotection and axon regeneration as viral vector-targeting of Pten and Klf9, which are prominent regulators of neuroprotection and long-distance axon regeneration. Finally, we bioinformatically characterized a gene network associated with Nfe2l3 in neurons, which revealed the association of Nfe2l3 with established mechanisms of neuroprotection and axon regeneration. Thus, Nfe2l3 is a novel neuroprotection and axon regeneration-promoting factor with a therapeutic potential for treating CNS injury and disease.

Developmental and Injury-induced Changes in DNA Methylation in Regenerative versus Non-regenerative Regions of the Vertebrate (Xenopus laevis) Central Nervous System Characterized by Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS)

Project description:Xenopus is uniquely suited for identifying core features of successful CNS axon regeneration, because parts of its CNS (e.g., eye), regenerate axons throughout life, whereas others (e.g., hindbrain) do so only as tadpoles. We performed bisulfite whole genome bisulfite methylation sequencing (WGBS) on juvenile frog eye after optic nerve injury, and on hindbrain samples from tadpole and juvenile frog after spinal cord injury during the peak phase of axon regeneration, to compare tissue-related and injury-induced differences in DNA methylation among them.

Histone methyltransferase Ezh2 coordinates mammalian axon regeneration via regulation of key regenerative pathways (RRBS)

Project description:Current treatments for neurodegenerative diseases and neural injuries fall short of success. One primary reason is that neurons in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) lose their regeneration ability as they mature. Here, we investigated the role of Ezh2, a histone methyltransferase, in regulation of mammalian axon regeneration. We found that Ezh2 declined in the mouse nervous system during maturation but was upregulated in adult dorsal root ganglion neurons to support spontaneous axon regeneration following peripheral nerve injury. In addition, overexpression of Ezh2 in retinal ganglion cells in the CNS promoted optic nerve regeneration via both histone methylation-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Further investigation revealed that Ezh2 supported axon regeneration by systematically silencing the transcription of genes regulating synaptic function and inhibiting axon regeneration, while simultaneously activating various axon regeneration promoting factors. In particular, our study demonstrated that the GABA transporter 2 encoded by the gene Slc6a13 acted downstream of Ezh2 to control axon regeneration. Our study suggested that modulating chromatin accessibility was a promising strategy to promote CNS axon regeneration.

Developmental and Injury-induced Changes in DNA Methylation in Regenerative versus Non-regenerative Regions of the Vertebrate (Xenopus laevis) Central Nervous System assayed by 5hmC MeDIP and by ChIP-seq for Histone Markers

Project description:Xenopus is uniquely suited for identifying core features of successful CNS axon regeneration, because parts of its CNS (e.g., eye), regenerate axons throughout life, whereas others (e.g., hindbrain) do so only as tadpoles. To aid in the interpretation of bisulfite whole genome methylation sequencing (WGBS) on juvenile frog eye after optic nerve injury, and on hindbrain samples from tadpole and juvenile frog after spinal cord injury during the peak phase of axon regeneration, we performed ChIP-seq for histone modifications associated with active gene expression (H3K4me3 & H3K27ac) and repressed gene expression (H3K27me3 & H3K9me3) on these same tissues, as well as DNA-immunoprecipitation sequencing (DIP seq) for 5-hydroxymethyl cytosine (5hmC) on eye samples during optic nerve regeneration.

Sustained axon regeneration induced by a synergy of PTEN and SOCS3 deletion

Project description:A formidable challenge in neural repair in the adult central nervous system (CNS) is the long distances that regenerating axons often need to travel in order to reconnect with their targets. Thus, a sustained capacity for axon regeneration is critical for achieving functional restoration. Although deletion of either Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), a negative regulator of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), or suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), a negative regulator of Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway, in adult retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) individually promoted significant optic nerve regeneration, such regrowth tapered off around two weeks after the crush injury. Remarkably, we now find that simultaneous deletion of both PTEN and SOCS3 enable robust and sustained axon regeneration. We further show that PTEN and SOCS3 regulate two independent pathways that act synergistically to promote enhanced axon regeneration. Gene expression analyses suggest that double deletion not only result in the induction of many growth-related genes, but also allow RGCs to maintain the expression of a repertoire of genes at the physiological level after injury. Our results reveal concurrent activation of mTOR and STAT3 pathways as a key for sustaining long-distance axon regeneration in adult CNS, a crucial step toward functional recovery. RNAs were extracted from FACS sorted YFP positive mouse retinal cells, and gene-profiled using affymetrix 1.0 ST expression arrays. Three hybridizations were performed for each group (Wild type after crush, PTEN Knockout+crush, SOCS3 Knockout+crush, and PTEN/SOCS3 double knockout+crush) with RNA samples collected from three independent FACS purifications. Data were analyzed using dChIP and SAM.

Knocking out non-muscle myosin II in retinal ganglion cells promotes long-distance optic nerve regeneration (RNA-Seq I)

Project description:In addition to altered gene expression, pathological cytoskeletal dynamics in the axon are another key intrinsic barrier for axon regeneration in the central nervous system (CNS). Here we showed that knocking out myosin IIA/B in retinal ganglion cells alone either before or after optic nerve crush induced significant optic nerve regeneration. Combined Lin28a overexpression and myosin IIA/B knockout led to additive promoting effect and long-distance axon regeneration. Immunostaining, RNA sequencing and western blot analyses revealed that myosin II deletion did not affect known axon regeneration signaling pathways or the expression of regeneration associated genes. Instead, it abolished the retraction bulb formation and significantly enhanced the axon extension efficiency. The study provided clear evidence that directly targeting neuronal cytoskeleton was sufficient to induce significant CNS axon regeneration, and combining altered gene expression in the soma and modified cytoskeletal dynamics in the axon was a promising approach for long-distance CNS axon regeneration
