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:We profiled spinal cord tissue at the site of a moderate contusion injury at the level of the thoracic spinal cord We examined several timepoints following injury, including sham and days 1,3 and 7 following injury and compared differential expression of genes within a genotype and across genotypes (trkB.T1KO/trkB.T1WT) at each timepoint. Tissue was profiled at baseline (sham) condition and then 1, 3 and 7 days after thoracic moderate contusion injury

Project description:Immune cells infiltrate extensively into the lesion area after spinal cord injury and persist chronically, playing a crucial role in the inflammation and recovery of spinal cord injury. Here we investigated gene expression levels at single cell level of immune cells which distribute in the uninjured spinal cord and the lesion area at 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days after spinal cord injury. Heterogeneity analysis was performed to reveal the immune response after injury and how it is altered over time.

Project description:Excerpt from a larger study which characterized the transcriptional effects of a spinal cord contusion injury in rats. This is the data from the almost chronic contusion state (35 days) at the injury site (Thoracic 8) - where we saw significant changes in several areas, including cholesterol metabolism genes. Other spinal cord areas (rostral, caudal) and time-points (3 hours, 24 hours, 7 days and 35 days) were analyzed as well and are discussed in our paper and at www.crpf.org/microarray.

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.

Project description:Spinal cord injury (SCI) evokes profound dysfunction in hollow organs such as the urinary bladder and gut. Current treatments are limited by a lack of molecular data to inform novel therapeutic avenues. Previously, we showed systemic treatment with the neuroprotective agent inosine improved bladder function following SCI in rats. This RNA-seq dataset captures global transcriptomic changes in the rat bladder at multiple time points following spinal cord injury (SCI). Full-thickness bladder tissues were collected from male Sprague Dawley rats at 2, 8, and 16 weeks post-complete T8 spinal cord transection, alongside non-injured controls.

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.
