Project description:Previous studies have suggested that astrocyte activation in the spinal dorsal horn may play an important role in the development of chronic neuropathic pain; but the mechanisms involved in astrocyte activation and their modulatory effects remain unknown. The inward rectifying potassium channel protein 4.1 (Kir4.1) is the most important background K+ channel in astrocytes. However, how Kir4.1 is regulated and contributes to behavioral hyperalgesia in chronic pain is unknown. In this study, single-cell RNA sequencing analysis indicated that the expression of Kir4.1 and Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) were both decreased in spinal astrocytes after chronic constriction injury (CCI) in a mouse model. Conditional knockout of the Kir4.1 channel in spinal astrocytes led to hyperalgesia; and overexpression of the Kir4.1 channel in spinal cord relieved CCI-induced hyperalgesia. Expression of spinal Kir4.1 after CCI was regulated by MeCP2. Electrophysiological recording in spinal slices showed that knockdown of Kir4.1 significantly regulated the excitability of astrocytes and then functionally changed the firing patterns of neurons in dorsal spinal cord. Therefore, targeting spinal Kir4.1 maybe an underlying treatment for hyperalgesia in chronic neuropathic pain.

Project description:Astrocytes in the spinal cord dorsal horn (SDH) play a pivotal role in synaptic transmission and neuropathic pain. However, the precise classification of SDH astrocytes in health and disease remains elusive. Here we reveal Gpr37l1 as a marker and functional regulator of spinal astrocytes. Through single-nucleus RNA sequencing, we identified Gpr37l1 as a selective GPCR marker for spinal cord astrocytes. Notably, SDH displayed reactive astrocyte phenotypes and exacerbated neuropathic pain following nerve injury combined with Gpr37l1 deficiency. In naïve animals, GPR37L1 knockdown in SDH astrocytes induces astrogliosis and pain hypersensitivity, while Gpr37l1-/- mice fail to recover from neuropathic pain. GPR37L1 activation by maresin-1 increased astrocyte GLT-1 activity and reduced spinal EPSCs and neuropathic pain. Selective overexpression of Gpr37l1 in SDH astrocytes reversed neuropathic pain and astrogliosis after nerve injury. Our findings illuminate astrocyte GPR37l1 as an essential negative regulator of pain, which protects neuropathic pain through astrocyte signaling in SDH.

Project description:Astrocytes, the most abundant cells in the central nervous system, promote synapse formation and help refine neural connectivity. Although they are allocated to spatially distinct regional domains during development, it is unknown whether region-restricted astrocytes are functionally heterogeneous. Here we show that postnatal spinal cord astrocytes express several region-specific genes, and that ventral astrocyte-encoded Semaphorin3a (Sema3a) is required for proper motor neuron and sensory neuron circuit organization. Loss of astrocyte-encoded Sema3a led to dysregulated α−motor neuron axon initial segment orientation, markedly abnormal synaptic inputs, and selective death of α−but not of adjacent γ−motor neurons. Additionally, a subset of TrkA+ sensory afferents projected to ectopic ventral positions. These findings demonstrate that stable maintenance of a positional cue by developing astrocytes influences multiple aspects of sensorimotor circuit formation. More generally, they suggest that regional astrocyte heterogeneity may help to coordinate postnatal neural circuit refinement. 12 total samples consisting of three biological replicates each of flow sorted postnatal day 7 dorsal spinal cord astrocytes, ventral spinal cord astrocytes, dorsal SC non astrocytes, and ventral SC non astrocytes

Project description:Following contusive spinal injury astrocytes undergo inflammatory activation and proliferation in a process known as astrogliosis. Reactive astrocytes are attractive therapeutic targets as they sit central to many of the immune recruitment, injury response, and tissue healing processes of the spinal cord. However, methods of targeted expression of exogenous therapeutic genes within astrocytes must be validated to not alter the normal immunological involvement of astrocytes. To investigate the effect of transgene expression within astrocytes upon the immunological state of the contused cord, we injected the astrocyte-selective AAV5-GfaABC1D-dYFP reporter vector into an animal model of moderate contusive spinal cord injury. Bulk RNA microarrays were used to assess transcriptomic changes of the perilesional tissue.

Project description:Analysis of gene expression by astrocytes or non-astrocyte cells in spinal cord injury (SCI) lesions may lead to the identification of molecules that impact on axon regrowth. We conducted genome-wide RNA sequencing of (i) immunoprecipitated astrocyte-specific ribosome-associated RNA (ramRNA) from WT or STAT3-CKO astrocytes, and (ii) the non-precipitated (flow-through) RNA deriving from non-astrocyte cells in the same tissue samples 14 days following SCI.

Project description:Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a common but devastating trauma of the central nerve system. In this study, we reprogrammed cultured spinal-cord reactive astrocytes into neurons by Neurod1 expression. The mechanism of programmed conversion from astrocytes to neurons has not been clarified yet. Thus, we used label-free proteomics to identify differentially expressed proteins in Neurod1 over-expressed astrocytes and control group. A total of 1952 proteins were identified, including 92 significantly changed proteins. Among these proteins, 8 proteins were identified as candidates involving in the process of the reprogramming, based on their biological function and fold change in the bioinformatic analysis. Our study revealed that that Neurod1 can directly reprogram cultured spinal-cord reactive astrocytes into neurons, and several proteins that could play a significant role during the neuronal reprogramming were discovered.

Project description:Traumatic axonal injury (TAI) in the brainstem carries a particularly poor prognosis. Although the role of neuroinflammation in this process is incompletely characterized, astrogliosis has been shown to coincide with TAI. Moreover, astrogliotic forebrain astrocytes were recently shown to confer a toxic effect on neurons. We sought to assess if ventral brainstem- or rostroventral spinal astrocytes exert similar effects on motor neurons in vitro. We derived brainstem/rostroventral spinal astrocyte-like cells (ES-astrocytes) and motor neurons using directed differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ES). ES-astrocyte identity was assessed using RNA-sequencing, immunocytochemistry, and comparison with primary subventricular zone-astrocytes. We activated the ES-astrocytes using the neurotoxicity-eliciting cytokines interleukin- (IL-) 1α and tumor necrosis factor-(TNF-)α. In co-cultures with reactive ES-astrocytes and motor neurons, we demonstrated neurotoxic ES-astrocyte activity, similarly to what has previously been shown for other central nervous system (CNS) regions. When exposed to IL-1β and IL-6, two neuroinflammatory cytokines found in the cerebrospinal fluid and serum proteome following severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), ES-astrocytes exerted similar effects on motor neurons. This demonstrates that ventral brainstem and rostroventral spinal cord astrocytes can exert neurotoxic effects in vitro. This highlights the importance of neuroinflammation as a secondary injury mechanism following neurotrauma, and presents a possible treatment avenue to improve neuronal survival in particularly vulnerable CNS regions following TAI.

Project description:The aim of the present study is to combine LCM and microarray analysis to study how astrocytes in the spinal cord of transgenic SOD1 G93A mice and their non-transgenic (NTg) littermates respond to stimuli determined by the presence of the human mutant protein throughout the evolution of the disease by looking at the symptomatic and late-stage disease time points. Astrocytes have been isolated from the spinal cord of G93A mice and non transgenic littermates at different time points and the transcription expression profile of the isolated astrocytes has been analysed
