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.

Project description:Axon regeneration holds great promise for neural repair of CNS axonopathies, including glaucoma. Pten deletion in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) promotes potent optic nerve regeneration, but only a small population of Pten-null RGCs are actually regenerating RGCs (regRGCs); most surviving RGCs (surRGCs) remain non-regenerative. Here we developed a strategy to specifically label and purify regRGCs and surRGCs respectively from the same Pten deletion mice after optic nerve crush, in which they differ only in their regeneration capability. Smart-Seq2 single cell transcriptome analysis revealed novel regeneration-associated genes that significantly promote axon regeneration. The most potent of these, Anxa2, acts synergistically with its ligand tPA in Pten deletion-induced axon regeneration. Anxa2, its downstream effector ILK, and Mpp1 dramatically protect RGC somata and axons and preserves visual function in a clinically relevant model of glaucoma, demonstrating the exciting potential of this innovative strategy to identify novel effective neural repair candidates.

Project description:Despite substantial progress in understanding the biology of axon regeneration in the CNS, our ability to promote the regeneration of the clinically important corticospinal tract (CST) after spinal cord injury remains limited. To understand regenerative heterogeneity, we conducted patch-based single cell RNA sequencing on rare regenerating CST neurons at high depth following PTEN and SOCS3 deletion. Supervised classification with Garnett gave rise to a Regenerating Classifier, which can be broadly applied to predict the regenerative potential of diverse neuronal types across developmental stages or after injury. Network analyses highlighted the importance of antioxidant response and mitochondrial biogenesis. Conditional gene deletion validated a role for NFE2L2 (or NRF2), a master regulator of antioxidant response, in CST regeneration. Our data demonstrate a universal transcriptomic signature underlying the regenerative potential of vastly different neuronal populations, and illustrate that deep sequencing of only hundreds of phenotypically identified neurons has the power to advance regenerative biology.

Project description:Central nervous system (CNS) projection neurons’ failure to repair/regenerate injured axons has devastating consequences for those who have sustained CNS injuries. Thus, there is a need for translatable factors capable of promoting long-distance axon regeneration in the CNS. We hypothesized that supporting lysosomes in injured neurons by supplementing their structural factors through gene therapy may foster axon regeneration. To test our hypothesis, we selected Atp6v0c for experimental regulation because it plays roles in lysosomal acidification and degradation of misfolded proteins in response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in injured neurons. We tested in a rodent optic nerve crush (ONC) model of traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) in which injured prototypical CNS projection neurons, the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), do not regenerate damaged axons and eventually degenerate. Atp6v0c transgene expression was achieved using intravitreally-injected adeno-associated virus serotype 2 (AAV2), which transduces the RGCs. For benchmarking, we compared efficacy to AAV2-targeting of prominent regulators of axon regeneration, Pten and Klf9. We found that Atp6v0c transgene promoted RGC survival and long-distance axon regeneration, comparable to targeting Pten and Klf9. Thus, Atp6v0c is an axon regeneration-promoting factor with a potential for treating CNS injury and disease.
