In conclusion, the central finding of the present study is that inclusions formed by ALS8-mutant VAPB in motor neurons in transgenic mice represent a protective ER compartment that isolates misfolded and aggregated VAPB from the rest of the ER. The data suggest that motor neurons are capable of coping with mutant VAPB levels that exceed the capacity of the ERAD systems. Whether similar protective ER derived compartments occur in physiological and pathological conditions in human central nervous system could be analyzed by immunohistological approaches with antibodies against BAP31 and VCP/p97.

The development of the nervous system in humans, or neural development or neurodevelopment involves the studies of embryology, developmental biology, and neuroscience to describe the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which the complex nervous system forms in humans, develops during prenatal development, and continues to develop postnatally.

The spinal cord forms from the lower part of the neural tube. The wall of the neural tube consists of neuroepithelial cells, which differentiate into neuroblasts, forming the mantle layer (the gray matter). Nerve fibers emerge from these neuroblasts to form the marginal layer (the white matter). The ventral part of the mantle layer (the basal plates) forms the motor areas of the spinal cord, whilst the dorsal part (the alar plates) forms the sensory areas. Between the basal and alar plates is an intermediate layer that contains neurons of the autonomic nervous system.[6]

Neurotrophic factors are molecules which promote and regulate neuronal survival in the developing nervous system. They are distinguished from ubiquitous metabolites necessary for cellular maintenance and growth by their specificity; each neurotrophic factor promotes the survival of only certain kinds of neurons during a particular stage of their development. In addition, it has been argued that neurotrophic factors are involved in many other aspects of neuronal development ranging from axonal guidance to regulation of neurotransmitter synthesis.[27]

Neurodevelopment in the adult nervous system includes mechanisms such as remyelination, generation of new neurons, glia, axons, myelin or synapses. Neuroregeneration differs between the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and the central nervous system (CNS) by the functional mechanisms and especially, the extent and speed.

Better understanding of the development may potentially enable insights into nervous system diseases, improving intelligence, and better protection against harmful impacts from identified factors of fetal development (potentially including from diseases of the mother, various events and xenobiotics).[51][52][additional citation(s) needed]

Motility and the coordination of moving food through the gastrointestinal tract rely on a complex network of neurons known as the enteric nervous system (ENS). Despite its critical function, many of the molecular mechanisms that direct the development of the ENS and the elaboration of neural network connections remain unknown. The goal of this study was to transcriptionally identify molecular pathways and candidate genes that drive specification, differentiation and the neural circuitry of specific neural progenitors, the phox2b expressing ENS cell lineage, during normal enteric nervous system development. Because ENS development is tightly linked to its environment, the transcriptional landscape of the cellular environment of the intestine was also analyzed.

We report the comprehensive gene expression profiles of a lineage-specific population of enteric progenitors, their derivatives, and their microenvironment during normal enteric nervous system development. Our results confirm previously implicated genes and pathways required for ENS development, and also identify scores of novel candidate genes and pathways. Thus, our dataset suggests various potential mechanisms that drive ENS development facilitating characterization and discovery of novel therapeutic strategies to improve gastrointestinal disorders.

The enteric NCCs are a multipotent cell population that originates in the neural tube and migrates throughout the embryo, proliferates and eventually differentiates to give rise to the neurons and glia of the enteric nervous system [94]. The development of ENS is complex directed by a number of cellular and molecular processes. To better understand the molecular mechanisms of enteric crest differentiation from precursors to a mature, fully functional ENS, we generated a transcriptomic profile of the zebrafish ENS at 7dpf. By 7dpf, the neural crest cells have already migrated into and populated the larval zebrafish intestine. At this stage in development, enteric NCCs have differentiated or are in the process of differentiating into the neurons and glia of the ENS [49, 51]. The composition of the ENS is likely to be a combination of fully differentiated enteric neurons and glia as well as enteric neural crest cells undergoing proliferation and differentiation. Using a transgenic line marking the phox2b expressing neural crest cells we aimed to build a lineage-specific transcriptional profile of progenitors and progenitor derivatives of the ENS.

While there were common terms in both analyzed intestinal cell populations, the significance level showed clear differentiation between the two groups. For example, the term nervous system development has a p-value of 2.62E-10 in the hierarchy specific to the neuronal population while has p-value lower than

In addition to the axonal guidance molecules, other gene families found within the neuronal dataset, the ADAM and neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) families are known to have a role in axon guidance. A disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) is from the Metzincins superfamily of metalloproteases [116]. This family has been shown to play a very important role in development by regulating cell migration, differentiation, cell-cell interaction, and receptor-ligand signaling [117, 118]. Interestingly, some of the axonal guidance pathway genes enhanced in our dataset have been implicated in the development of the nervous system. For example, ADAM22 is necessary in PNS development and deficiency leads to hypomyelination of peripheral nerves and ataxia [119]. ADAM22 deficient mice display defects in the proliferation and differentiation of glia [120]. The neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) family comprises of receptors that are required to maintain synaptic strength and plasticity in the nervous system [121]. The three genes associated with axonal guidance from this family are NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3. Similar to the ADAM family, all of these genes are highly expressed in the neuronal population in our dataset.

Synapse assembly and disassembly is an important part of the formation and maintenance of neural circuitry in the developing nervous system as well as plasticity in the mature nervous system [134, 135]. As expected we found many components in this category to be enriched in our dataset. Interestingly, our transcriptomic data may also show evidence that genes whose protein products form functional complexes together may have similar levels of enrichment. An example of this is proteins aligned with synaptogenesis and synaptic vesicle fusion (Table 3). Syntaxin 1 (Stx1), Syntaxin binding protein 1 (Stxbp1) and SNAP-25 are all components of the SNARE [(soluble NSF attachment protein) receptor] complex of presynaptic proteins that facilitate the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the plasma membrane during the release of neurotransmitters [89]. Inhibitors of SNARE proteins have been shown to decrease enteric neural crest migration and ENS precursor neurite extension [136].

Indeed, our GO term analysis found the expected enrichments for terms like proteolysis, blood vessel development and vasculature development to be very specific to the GFP-negative cell population of the intestine. By contrast, the term nervous system development had a much lower p-value (

We report a comprehensive gene expression profile of a population of enteric neural crest progenitors and their enteric nervous system derivatives during normal development. We also report the gene expression profile of the cells that constitute the microenvironment that the enteric crest and derivative reside in, the intestinal tract. Our results confirm previously reported genes and pathways known to be required for ENS development and function, as well as novel genes and pathways, suggesting that this dataset provides valuable new insights into the genetic, cellular and molecular mechanisms driving the development and maintenance of a functioning ENS.

In contrast with central nervous system (CNS) axons, those in the periphery have the remarkable ability to regenerate after injury. Nevertheless, peripheral nervous system (PNS) axon regrowth is hampered by nerve gaps created by injury. In addition, the growth-supportive milieu of PNS axons is not sustained over time, precluding long-distance regeneration. Therefore, studying PNI could be instructive for both improving PNS regeneration and recovery after CNS injury. In addition to requiring a robust regenerative response from the injured neuron itself, successful axon regeneration is dependent on the coordinated efforts of non-neuronal cells which release extracellular matrix molecules, cytokines, and growth factors that support axon regrowth. The inflammatory response is initiated by axonal disintegration in the distal nerve stump: this causes blood-nerve barrier permeabilization and activates nearby Schwann cells and resident macrophages via receptors sensitive to tissue damage. Denervated Schwann cells respond to injury by shedding myelin, proliferating, phagocytosing debris, and releasing cytokines that recruit blood-borne monocytes/macrophages. Macrophages take over the bulk of phagocytosis within days of PNI, before exiting the nerve by the circulation once remyelination has occurred. The efficacy of the PNS inflammatory response (although transient) stands in stark contrast with that of the CNS, where the response of nearby cells is associated with inhibitory scar formation, quiescence, and degeneration/apoptosis. Rather than efficiently removing debris before resolving the inflammatory response as in other tissues, macrophages infiltrating the CNS exacerbate cell death and damage by releasing toxic pro-inflammatory mediators over an extended period of time. Future research will help determine how to manipulate PNS and CNS inflammatory responses in order to improve tissue repair and functional recovery. 2ff7e9595c
