Wang Z, Duan H, Hao F, Hao P, Zhao W, Gao Y, Gu Y, Song J, Li X, Yang Z. Circuit reconstruction of newborn neurons after spinal cord injury in adult rats via an NT3-chitosan scaffold. Prog Neurobiol 2023; 220:102375. [PMID: 36410665 DOI: 10.1016/j.pneurobio.2022.102375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2022] [Revised: 11/07/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
An implanted neurotrophin-3 (NT3)-chitosan scaffold can recruit endogenous neural stem cells to migrate to a lesion region and differentiate into mature neurons after adult spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the identities of these newborn neurons and whether they can form functional synapses and circuits to promote recovery after paraplegia remain unknown. By using combined advanced technologies, we revealed here that the newborn neurons of several subtypes received synaptic input from the corticospinal tract (CST), rubrospinal tract (RST), and supraspinal tracts. They formed a functional neural circuit at the injured spinal region, further driving the local circuits beneath the lesion. Our results showed that the NT3-chitosan scaffold facilitated the maturation of spinal neurons and the reestablishment of the spinal neural circuit in the lesion region 12 weeks after SCI. Transsynaptic virus experiments revealed that these newborn spinal neurons received synaptic connections from the CST and RST and drove the neural circuit beneath the lesion via newly formed synapses. These re-established circuits successfully recovered the formation and function of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) beneath the lesion spinal segments. These findings suggest that the NT3-chitosan scaffold promotes the formation of relay neural circuits to accommodate various types of brain descending inputs and facilitate functional recovery after paraplegia.

Abstract
How rich functionality emerges from the rather invariant structural architecture of the peripheral autonomic nervous system remains one of the major mysteries in neuroscience. The high incidence of patients with neural circuit-related autonomic nervous system diseases highlights the importance of fundamental research, among others with neurotracing methods, into autonomic neuron functionality. Due to the emergence of neurotropic virus-based tracing techniques in recent years the access to neuronal connectivity in the peripheral autonomic nervous system has greatly been improved. This review is devoted to the anatomical distribution of neural circuits in the periphery of the autonomous nervous system and to the interaction between the autonomic nervous system and vital peripheral organs or tissues. The experimental evidence available at present has greatly expanded our understanding of autonomic peripheral nervous system neurons.

Abstract
Each internal organ may perform many different functions under central regulation, yet how these processes are coordinated is poorly understood. The last three decades have witnessed a renaissance in tract tracing with genetically engineered strains of viruses that rapidly interrogate viscera-specific projections in the CNS. The application of novel methods to study cell type-specific projections through trans-synaptically transmitted virus 'label' highlights projections exclusively originating from neurons expressing a very specific molecular phenotype. This has opened the door to neuroanatomical studies interrogating organ-specific projections in the CNS at an unprecedented scale. In this contribution to the Special Issue we present an overview of the present state and of future opportunities in charting viscera-brain specific connectivity and in linking brain circuits to internal organ function.

Identification of lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in rat spinal cords at various time‑points following cardiac ischemia/reperfusion. Int J Mol Med 2019; 43:2361-2375.

Abstract
The identification of the expression patterns of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs in the spinal cord under normal and cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) conditions is essential for understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of cardiac I/R injury. The present study used high-throughput RNA sequencing to investigate differential gene and lncRNA expression patterns in the spinal cords of rats during I/R-induced cardiac injury. Male Sprague Dawley rats were assigned to the following groups: i) Control; ii) 2 h (2 h post-reperfusion); and iii) 0.5 h (0.5 h post-reperfusion). Further mRNA/lncRNA microarray analysis revealed that the expression profiles of lncRNA and mRNA in the spinal cords differed markedly between the control and 2 h groups, and in total 7,980 differentially expressed (>2-fold) lncRNAs (234 upregulated, 7,746 downregulated) and 3,428 mRNAs (767 upregulated, 2,661 downregulated) were identified. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis was performed to determine the expression patterns of several lncRNAs. The results indicated that the expression levels of lncRNA NONRATT025386 were significantly upregulated in the 2 and 0.5 h groups when compared with those in the control group, whereas the expression levels of NONRATT016113, NONRATT018298 and NONRATT018300 were elevated in the 2 h group compared with those in the control group; however, there was no statistically significant difference between the 0.5 h and control groups. Furthermore, the expression of lncRNA NONRATT002188 was significantly downregulated in the 0.5 and 2 h groups when compared with the control group. The present study determined the expression pattern of lncRNAs and mRNAs in rat spinal cords during cardiac I/R. It was suggested that lncRNAs and mRNAs from spinal cords may be novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of I/R-induced cardiac injury.

Abstract
To examine if brain neurons involved in the efferent control of the kidneys possess melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4-R) and/or tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH). Retrograde tracing pseudorabies virus (PRV)-614 was injected into the kidneys in adult male MC4R-green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic mice. After a survival time of 3-7 days, spinal cord and brain were removed and sectioned, and processed for PRV-614 visualization. The neurochemical phenotype of PRV-614-positive neurons was identified using double or triple immunocytochemical labeling against PRV-614, MC4R, or TPH. Double and triple labeling was quantified using microscopy. The majority of PRV-614 immunopositive neurons which also expressed immunoreactivity for MC4R were located in the ipsilateral intermediolateral cell column (IML) of the thoracic spinal cord, the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus, and raphe pallidus (RPa), nucleus raphe magnus (NRM) and ventromedial medulla (VMM) of the brainstem. Triple-labeled MC4R/PRV-614/TPH neurons were concentrated in the PVN, RPa, NRM and VMM. These data strongly suggest that central MC4R and TPH are involved in the efferent neuronal control of the kidneys.

Differential gene and lncRNA expression in the lower thoracic spinal cord following ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute kidney injury in rats. Oncotarget 2017; 8:53465-53481.

Abstract
We used high-throughput RNA sequencing to analyze differential gene and lncRNA expression patterns in the lower thoracic spinal cord during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) in rats. We observed that of 32662 mRNAs, 4296 out were differentially expressed in the T8-12 segments of the spinal cord upon I/R-induced AKI. Among these, 62 were upregulated and 34 were downregulated in response to I/R (FDR < 0.05, |log2FC| > 1). Further, 52 differentially expressed lncRNAs (35 upregulated and 17 downregulated) were identified among 3849 lncRNA transcripts. The differentially expressed mRNAs were annotated as “biological process,” “cellular components” and “molecular functions” through gene ontology enrichment analysis. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that cell cycle and renin-angiotensin pathways were upregulated in response to I/R, while protein digestion and absorption, hedgehog, neurotrophin, MAPK, and PI3K-Akt signaling were downregulated. The RNA-seq data was validated by qRT-PCR and western blot analyses of select mRNAs and lncRNAs. We observed that Bax, Caspase-3 and phospho-AKT were upregulated and Bcl-2 was downregulated in the spinal cord in response to renal injury. We also found negative correlations between three lncRNAs (TCONS_00042175, TCONS_00058568 and TCONS_00047728) and the degree of renal injury. These findings provide evidence for differential expression of lncRNAs and mRNAs in the lower thoracic spinal cord following I/R-induced AKI in rats and suggest potential clinical applicability.

Abstract
The identity of higher-order neurons and circuits playing an associative role to control renal function is not well understood. We identified specific neural populations of rostral elements of brain regions that project multisynaptically to the kidneys in 3-6 days after injecting a retrograde tracer pseudorabies virus (PRV)-614 into kidney of 13 adult male C57BL/6J strain mice. PRV-614 infected neurons were detected in a number of mesencephalic (e.g. central amygdala nucleus), telencephalic regions and motor cortex. These divisions included the preoptic area (POA), dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH), lateral hypothalamus, arcuate nucleus (Arc), suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), periventricular hypothalamus (PeH), and rostral and caudal subdivision of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN). PRV-614/Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) double-labeled cells were found within DMH, Arc, SCN, PeH, PVN, the anterodorsal and medial POA. A subset of neurons in PVN that participated in regulating sympathetic outflow to kidney was catecholaminergic or serotonergic. PRV-614 infected neurons within the PVN also contained arginine vasopressin or oxytocin. These data demonstrate the rostral elements of brain innervate the kidney by the neuroanatomical circuitry.

Abstract
Several studies have shown that motor cortex stimulation provided pain relief by motor cortex plasticity and activating descending inhibitory pain control systems. Recent evidence indicated that the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) in the periaqueductal gray played an important role in neuropathic pain. This study was designed to assess whether MC4R signaling existed in motor cortex-periaqueductal gray-spinal cord neuronal circuitry modulated the activity of sympathetic pathway by a virally mediated transsynaptic tracing study. Pseudorabies virus (PRV)-614 was injected into the left gastrocnemius muscle in adult male MC4R-green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic mice (n = 15). After a survival time of 4-6 days, the mice (n = 5) were randomly assigned to humanely sacrifice, and spinal cords and brains were removed and sectioned, and processed for PRV-614 visualization. Neurons involved in the efferent control of the left gastrocnemius muscle were identified following visualization of PRV-614 retrograde tracing. The neurochemical phenotype of MC4R-GFP-positive neurons was identified using fluorescence immunocytochemical labeling. PRV-614/MC4R-GFP dual labeled neurons were detected in spinal IML, periaqueductal gray and motor cortex. Our findings support the hypothesis that MC4R signaling in motor cortex-periaqueductal gray-spinal cord neural pathway may participate in the modulation of the melanocortin-sympathetic signaling and contribute to the descending modulation of nociceptive transmission, suggesting that MC4R signaling in motor cortex-periaqueductal gray-spinal cord neural pathway may modulate the activity of sympathetic outflow sensitive to nociceptive signals.

Abstract
Neurons in the laterodorsal tegmentum (LDTg) and pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) play important roles in central autonomic circuits of the kidney. In this study, we used a combination of retrograde tracers pseudorabies virus (PRV)-614 and fluorescence immunohistochemistry to characterize the neuroanatomic substrate of PPTg and LDTg innervating the kidney in the mouse. PRV-614-infected neurons were retrogradely labeled in the rostral and middle parts of LDTg, and the middle and caudal parts of PPTg after tracer injection in the kidney. PRV-614/TPH double-labeled neurons were mainly localized in the rostral of LDTg, whereas PRV-614/TH neurons were scattered within the three parts of LDTg. PRV-614/TPH and PRV-614/TH neurons were located predominantly in the caudal of PPTg (cPPTg). These data provided direct neuroanatomical foundation for the identification of serotonergic and catecholaminergic projections from the mid-brain tegmentum to the kidney.
