Project description:The study was designed to identify genes regulated after spinal transection that might contribute to regenerative growth of neurons projecting from the NMLF in Zebrafish. Zebrafish were injured by surgical transection of the spinal cord at 1 mm caudal to the brainstem-spinal cord junction (Injured). Animals receiving sham surgery (identical surgical procedures without transection) served as control (Control). The nucleus of the medial longitudinal fascicle (NMLF) was laser capture microdissected from approximately 30 frozen sections. RNA was prepared, amplified, and run on Affymetrix Zebrafish arrays. Zebrafish were used because they recover swimming function after spinal transection in about 6 weeks. The NMLF has been identified as a prominent group of neurons that descend through the site of injury in the spinal cord and that regenerate after injury. Times were selected to distinguish early events from those in the timeframe of regenerative growth.

Project description:Adult zebrafish have the ability to recover from spinal cord injury and exhibit re-growth of descending axons from the brainstem to the spinal cord. We performed gene expression analysis using microarray to find damage-induced genes after spinal cord injury, which shows that Sox11b mRNA is up-regulated at 11 days after injury. However, the functional relevance of Sox11b for regeneration is not known. Here, we report that the up-regulation of Sox11b mRNA after spinal cord injury is mainly localized in ependymal cells lining the central canal and in newly differentiating neuronal precursors or immature neurons. Using an in vivo morpholino-based gene knockout approach, we demonstrate that Sox11b is essential for locomotor recovery after spinal cord injury. In the injured spinal cord, expression of the neural stem cell associated gene, Nestin, and the proneural gene Ascl1a (Mash1a), which are involved in the self-renewal and cell fate specification of endogenous neural stem cells, respectively, is regulated by Sox11b. Our data indicate that Sox11b promotes neuronal determination of endogenous stem cells and regenerative neurogenesis after spinal cord injury in the adult zebrafish. Enhancing Sox11b expression to promote proliferation and neurogenic determination of endogenous neural stem cells after injury may be a promising strategy in restorative therapy after spinal cord injury in mammals. Spinal cord injury or control sham injury was performed on adult zebrafish. After 4, 12, or 264 hrs, a 5 mm segment of spinal cord was dissected and processed (as a pool from 5 animals) in three replicate groups for each time point and treatment.

Project description:To determine spinal cord injury (SCI) induced changes in gene expression, laser capture microscopy (LCM) and Affymetrix microarrays were used to profiles three distinct populations of motor neurons (MNs) in five sets of littermates. In each set, one littermate received a lamenectomy (sham operated), and the other received a complete spinal cord transection. Each MN population was caudal to the transection and not axotomized. Thus, MNs in transected animals were responding to two major insults: deafferentation and changing microenvironments due to spreading immune and inflammatory responses. A total of 30 expression profiles from sham operated control animals have been uploaded to GEO database with accession number GSE2595. The current series contains 32 motoneuron expression profiles from spinalized mice. All chips (30 sham + 32 transection) were generated together using RMA in 2004. Experiment Overall Design: In this study we determine SCI induced changes in gene expression in lateral motoneurons (LMN), medial motoneurons (MMN) and intermediolateral column motoneurons (IML). Five sets of male littermates were used in these experiments (sets a-e). In each set, one littermate received a lamenectomy (sham operated), and the other received a complete spinal cord transection. Four of the sets (a-d) consisted of one transect and one littermate sham operated control. The fifth set (e) had an additional transect. All surgeries were performed on postnatal day (P) 24. Three weeks later (P45), the animals were sacrificed and their spinal cords were removed and sectioned for LCM. Each of the three cell types was captured from every animal. The expression profiles of the three classes of MNs were obtained using Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:The goals of this study is to compare transcriptome profiles (RNA-seq) of zebrafish spinal cord before and after injury. The five segments rostral and five segments caudal to the lesion site were collected from three adult fish at one, two, four, and six weeks post injury. Corresponding segments were also collected from uninjured animals. Total RNA was extracted and cDNA libraries (N=4-5) were subjected to Illumina sequencing. Differential expression analysis was performed using DESeq2. The resulting P-values were adjusted using the Benjamini and Hochberg’s approach for controlling the false discovery rate.We mapped about 40-80 million sequence reads per sample to the zebrafish genome and identified 37,603 transcripts in the injured and uninjured zebrafish spinal cord. Our study represents the detailed analysis of zebrafish spinal cord transcriptomes before and after injury.

Project description:Label-free mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics was applied to a larval zebrafish spinal cord injury model, which allows axon regeneration and functional recovery within two days (days post lesion; dpl) after a spinal cord transection in 3 day-old larvae (dpf). Proteomic profiling was performed of the lesion site at 1 dpl in control animals and animals with pdgfrb+ cell-specific overexpression of either zebrafish chondoradherin (chad; chad-mCherry fusion), fibromodulin a (fmoda; fmoda-mCherry fusion), lumican (lum; lum-mCherry fusion) or prolargin (prelp; prelp-mCherry fusion).

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to determine the gene expression changes that occur over 7 days in parralyzed muscle in response to isometric contraction elicited by electrical stimulation initiated 4 months after spinal cord injury and to compare such changes to those observed in a normal muscle subjected to overload. Methods: Electrical stimulation of the soleus and plantaris muscle was stimulated in female rats with complete transection of the spinal cord at the interspace between the 9th and 10th thoracic vertebrae. Stimulation was begun 16 weeks after spinal cord transection and produced near-isometric contraction of soleus, plantaris and tibialis anterior. Muscle was analyzed at 1, 2 and 7 days after starting exercise with electrical stimulation. To provide a baseline reference for gene expression at 16 weeks after spinal cord injury, muscle was also analysed from an additional group of spinal cord transected animals. One additional group of animals with a sham-spinal cord injury was included to provide information about gene expression in neurologically intact animals of similar age. In parallel studies, rats underwent bilateral gastrocnemius ablation to overload soleus and plantaris, or a sham ablation as a control. Muscle was analyzed at 1, 3 and 7 days after gastrocnemius ablation or sham-ablation. Gene expression was determined using Affymetrix Rat Exon microarrays. For each group of animals, microarray analysis was performed for soleus muscle for each of 3 separate animals, using one array per animal. Control sammples for the spinal cord injured groups included a group of animals with a Sham-spinal cord injury, and a group of spinal cord injured animals that did not get electrical stimulation. The comparator for determining fold-change expression values was the spinal cord injured group that did not receive electrical stimulation. For each day after gastrocnemius ablation, a control was included that received all procedures needed for this ablation except cutting the distal insertion of the gastrocnemius into the Achilles tendon to control for effects of the surgery on gene expression.
