Axotomized and intact neurons are easily identified in the living slice and labeled with biocytin during whole cell patch clamp recordings Axotomy at both short (A) and long (B, C) distances from the soma could be easily identified by the bulb on the axon in the live slice prior to patch clamping recordings. Two focus levels of same image are seen in B.  Greer & Jacobs, Poster 320
 
Both intact and axotomized neurons are healthy Parameters shown are typically measured when assessing the physiological health of recorded neurons.  For these ‘health’ parameters, injured neurons were not different from controls.  Although there was a trend towards an increase in input resistance for some injured neurons, suggesting possible cell shrinkage, this was not significant.  Data shown are from the following number of neurons: 15 control, 9 axotomized and 6 intact one day after injury, and 6 axotomized and 6 intact two days after injury.
Axotomized neurons show a decrease in intrinsic excitability at 1 day that recovers by 2 days after injury.  Intact neurons show an increase in intrinsic excitability at 2 days post injury Membrane properties reflecting intrinsic excitability show a decrease for axotomized neurons one day after injury and an increase for other groups relative to controls. During depolarizing current steps, intact neurons from injured brains tended to fire at increased frequencies relative to control cells (A, B).  A shows examples from individual neurons. The slope of the plot of frequency versus injected current was significantly different between experimental groups (B, 1-way ANOVA, p<0.05, LSD post-hoc).  The rheobase (lowest current to produce action potentials) was significantly greater in axotomized neurons one day after injury (C, 1-way ANOVA, p<0.05, LSD post-hoc).  The primary instantaneous frequency = 1/(interspike interval for first 2 action potentials responding to injected current).  Only non-doublet RS neurons were used to calculate this measure.  There was a trend toward a lower frequency for axotomized neurons one day after injury (D-F), while there was a significant increase in this measure for intact neurons two days after injury (D-F, 1-way ANOVA, p<0.05, LSD post-hoc).  D shows examples of the response to 400 (upper) and 200 (lower) pA current injections.  E shows examples of the plot of primary frequency versus current injection for individual neurons.  Data shown are from the following number of neurons: 15 control, 9 axotomized and 6 intact one day after injury, and 6 axotomized and 6 intact two days after injury.

DIFFERENTIAL RESPONSE OF AXONS TO TBI Stone, J.R., Singleton, R.H., and Povlishock, J.T.  Experimental Neurology 172, 320 – 331 (2001) C-APP RMO14
YFP-positive neurons show a variety of action potential firing patterns.  Two days after injury, intact neurons are less likely to show bursts of action potentials Most YFP recorded neurons were non-adapting, non-doublet regular-spiking (RS) pyramidal neurons. A small percentage of YFP-labeled neurons were of the previously described intrinsically-bursting (IB) type (A, B, Connors, 1990). Some RS neurons had an initial doublet of action potentials, followed by non-adapting, single action potentials (C).  These were similar to those previously reported for YFP-H neurons (Yu, 2008).  Non-doublet RS neurons were also similar to those previously described for layer V somatosensory neurons in YFP-H mice (D, Sugino).  A series of hyperpolarizing currents produced rectification and a prominent sag of the voltage response that is likely due to hyperpolarization-activated current (E arrow). A transient calcium (T) current also appeared to be present in some cells as indicated by the action potentials produced after return to rest from hyperpolarization (E).  All examples shown (A-E) are from controls.  Intact neurons recorded two days after injury, only produced single action potentials, thus this population had a significantly different percentage of the three cell types compared to the control population (F, z-test, p<0.05). The other injured groups showed these three neuronal types in percentages similar to controls. Data shown are from the following number of neurons: 20 control, 10 axotomized and 8 intact one day after injury, and 7 axotomized and 6 intact two days after injury.  The IB cell type was excluded from subsequent analyses.
Changes in intrinsic properties of regular-spiking neurons suggest modifications of potassium channels Action potential amplitude was measured with respect to the -60 mV resting membrane potential (RMP), where the cells were held with small constant depolarizing or hyperpolarizing currents when necessary.  The action potential amplitude was increased in axotomized neurons one and two days after injury and in intact neurons one day after injury (A, B). Lower dashed line in A indicates -60 mV resting membrane potential, while upper dashed line identifies the peak for the control cell shown.  There was no change in either action potential rise time (C) or action potential threshold (D), measures sensitive to changes in  numbers or density of sodium channels.  The after-hyperpolarization (note only non-doublet RS cells were used for this measure) was decreased in the same groups showing an increase in action potential amplitude (E, F), suggesting a possible reduction in potassium channels. Data shown are from the following number of neurons: 15 control, 9 axotomized and 6 intact one day after injury, and 6 axotomized and 6 intact two days after injury.

  • 68. Both intact and axotomized neurons are healthy Parameters shown are typically measured when assessing the physiological health of recorded neurons. For these ‘health’ parameters, injured neurons were not different from controls. Although there was a trend towards an increase in input resistance for some injured neurons, suggesting possible cell shrinkage, this was not significant. Data shown are from the following number of neurons: 15 control, 9 axotomized and 6 intact one day after injury, and 6 axotomized and 6 intact two days after injury.
  • 69. Axotomized neurons show a decrease in intrinsic excitability at 1 day that recovers by 2 days after injury. Intact neurons show an increase in intrinsic excitability at 2 days post injury Membrane properties reflecting intrinsic excitability show a decrease for axotomized neurons one day after injury and an increase for other groups relative to controls. During depolarizing current steps, intact neurons from injured brains tended to fire at increased frequencies relative to control cells (A, B). A shows examples from individual neurons. The slope of the plot of frequency versus injected current was significantly different between experimental groups (B, 1-way ANOVA, p<0.05, LSD post-hoc). The rheobase (lowest current to produce action potentials) was significantly greater in axotomized neurons one day after injury (C, 1-way ANOVA, p<0.05, LSD post-hoc). The primary instantaneous frequency = 1/(interspike interval for first 2 action potentials responding to injected current). Only non-doublet RS neurons were used to calculate this measure. There was a trend toward a lower frequency for axotomized neurons one day after injury (D-F), while there was a significant increase in this measure for intact neurons two days after injury (D-F, 1-way ANOVA, p<0.05, LSD post-hoc). D shows examples of the response to 400 (upper) and 200 (lower) pA current injections. E shows examples of the plot of primary frequency versus current injection for individual neurons. Data shown are from the following number of neurons: 15 control, 9 axotomized and 6 intact one day after injury, and 6 axotomized and 6 intact two days after injury.

  • 84. YFP-positive neurons show a variety of action potential firing patterns. Two days after injury, intact neurons are less likely to show bursts of action potentials Most YFP recorded neurons were non-adapting, non-doublet regular-spiking (RS) pyramidal neurons. A small percentage of YFP-labeled neurons were of the previously described intrinsically-bursting (IB) type (A, B, Connors, 1990). Some RS neurons had an initial doublet of action potentials, followed by non-adapting, single action potentials (C). These were similar to those previously reported for YFP-H neurons (Yu, 2008). Non-doublet RS neurons were also similar to those previously described for layer V somatosensory neurons in YFP-H mice (D, Sugino). A series of hyperpolarizing currents produced rectification and a prominent sag of the voltage response that is likely due to hyperpolarization-activated current (E arrow). A transient calcium (T) current also appeared to be present in some cells as indicated by the action potentials produced after return to rest from hyperpolarization (E). All examples shown (A-E) are from controls. Intact neurons recorded two days after injury, only produced single action potentials, thus this population had a significantly different percentage of the three cell types compared to the control population (F, z-test, p<0.05). The other injured groups showed these three neuronal types in percentages similar to controls. Data shown are from the following number of neurons: 20 control, 10 axotomized and 8 intact one day after injury, and 7 axotomized and 6 intact two days after injury. The IB cell type was excluded from subsequent analyses.
  • 85. Changes in intrinsic properties of regular-spiking neurons suggest modifications of potassium channels Action potential amplitude was measured with respect to the -60 mV resting membrane potential (RMP), where the cells were held with small constant depolarizing or hyperpolarizing currents when necessary. The action potential amplitude was increased in axotomized neurons one and two days after injury and in intact neurons one day after injury (A, B). Lower dashed line in A indicates -60 mV resting membrane potential, while upper dashed line identifies the peak for the control cell shown. There was no change in either action potential rise time (C) or action potential threshold (D), measures sensitive to changes in numbers or density of sodium channels. The after-hyperpolarization (note only non-doublet RS cells were used for this measure) was decreased in the same groups showing an increase in action potential amplitude (E, F), suggesting a possible reduction in potassium channels. Data shown are from the following number of neurons: 15 control, 9 axotomized and 6 intact one day after injury, and 6 axotomized and 6 intact two days after injury.

  2. We chose a transgenic mouse line developed in the Sanes lab at Harvard University. Expressing fluorescent protein under the control of the neuron specific promoter, Thy1, multiple transgenic mice lines were developed with neuronal expression of fluorescent protein. Transgene insertion site and the number of transgene copies results in unique expression patterns across the multiple mouse lines. In one strain, YFP-H, expression can be seen throughout the cerebrum and brainstem, but, importantly in the neocortex expression is limited to Layer V pyramidal neurons, a population of neurons our lab has previously shown is particularly vulnerable to diffuse axotomy.
  3. As we will discuss in further detail later, diffuse axotomy following cFPI can easily be observed in the axons of Layer V pyramidal neurons. You can clearly see both the proximal and distal processes and further can correlate the damaged axon with its related somata of origin.
  4. The locus of injury was consistent at about 1 mm proximal to the chiasm. diffusely injured axons exhibiting the development of focal axonal swellings proximally and distally over time. And progressive dieback of the proximal and distal axonal segments over time. reflected in the finding that the number of axonal swellings per unit area decreased proximally while increasing distally from the injury. Figure 3. Spatial and temporal progression of diffuse axonal injury within the optic nerve following fluid percussion brain injury visualized via confocal microscopy of the intraaxonal YFP fluorescence. The top panel shows, in a sham injured animal, the intense YFP fluorescence that can be visualized within the individual axons coursing within the optic nerve. The insert is provided to illustrate the points within the optic nerve assessed via confocal microscopy, with the rostral segment originating from the globe and the caudal segment terminating in the optic chiasm. Note that at 1h postinjury, little overt damage can be seen within the optic nerve. The majority of fibers manifest normal morphology, with only scattered, small punctate axonal swellings. Although the center of the optic nerve (for detail see insert) gives the impression of decreased immunofluorescence, this is related to the development of local brain edema, which exerts a quenching effect upon local immunofluorescence (also see Figure 7). At 3h to 12h postinjury, this immunofluorescence quenching continues, although there is now evidence of axonal disconnection and dramatic swelling on the proximal axonal segments in continuity with the retina. In contrast, over the next 24h and 48 h periods, these proximal swellings become less prominent, with a concomitant increase in caudal axonal swellings (Figure 4). We interpret this decline in the rostral swellings and their apparent continued separation from the caudal swellings to reflect the dieback of the rostral segment (Figure 5), with the implication that long-range evaluation of the caudal axonal swellings may serve as a more valuable tool in assessing the overall burden of axonal damage.
  5. Confocal microscopic evidence of axonal swellings within the optic nerve of Thy1-YFP-16 mice at 12 hours post TBI. The axonal swellings now manifest further maturation (A). Note that the distal axonal swellings expand to form spheroids (B and D), while the proximal axonal swellings now assume a more truncated form (C and E). Scale bar, 200 μm (A), 20μm (B, C, D and E).
  6. After 2 days survival, the optic nerves, optic chiasm, as well as the relevant target tissues were well labeled with CTB fluorescence (Fig. 7). At this time point, the optic nerve was labeled fully by CTB-fluorescence. The decussation of retinal projections could be seen in the optic chiasm. The controlateral, ipsilateral as well as overlapping (Fig. 7 yellow) retinal projections to the SCN, LGN, SC and OPN were well delineated. The LGN, SC and OPN were innervated by optic nerve fibers, with most originating from the contralateral side. Only a small part of the LGN, OPN and the rostral SC was innervated by the ipsilateral optic nerve. While we appreciate that these studies were only conducted in normal rats, they constitute important proof of concept studies, suggesting the feasibility of this approach planned in the studies of downstream consequences of the mice optic nerve DAI.
  7. An important point to emphasize is that using this model we can identify and study axonal pathology in great detail from minutes to weeks post injury. Here, at 30 minutes post-injury, one can clearly see the disconnection along the length of the axon, with beading and swelling of both the proximal and distal processes. One important question is how does this approach compare with known methods for assessment of axonal injury.

  13. In traumatically injured brain, if the apoptotic cascade is active: BAD and Bcl-xL Heterodimerize and the Distance is less than 100 Angstroms
  14. As we will discuss in further detail later, diffuse axotomy following cFPI can easily be observed in the axons of Layer V pyramidal neurons. You can clearly see both the proximal and distal processes and further can correlate the damaged axon with its related somata of origin.
  15. Brian Kelley has further described the pathology related to perisomatic axotomy Perisomatic axotomy abundant in the thalamus ultra-rapid: 5-15 min after injury within 100  m of the soma, prior to the first myelinated segment detectable up to 72 hours after injury These observations bring us to the question…

  17. While this approach allows for the study of proximal processes at later time points, it also may help in understanding how early, punctate swelling evolve into these highly complex processes later on. Here, 3d post injury, reactive change suggestive of reactive sprouting can be see following image deconvolution. Here note the multiple fibers projecting from the proximal stump.
  18. With increased knowledge concerning the fate of the related somata, questions remained about the fate of the proximal processes at later time points. At later time points post-injury the majority of proximal processes are much more complex than those simple swellings seen at earlier time points, as they have multiple brances and many have a more tortuous course through the neocortical gray matter. When measured, these proximal processes show a significant increase in length at later time points, all suggestive of reactive and perhaps regenerative changes occuring in these processes at later time points.
