    Abstract Spasticity is a hyperexcitability disorder that adversely impacts functional recovery and rehabilitative efforts after spinal cord injury (SCI). The loss of evoked rate-dependent depression (RDD) of the monosynaptic H-reflex is indicative of hyperreflexia, a physiological sign of spasticity. Given the intimate relationship between astrocytes and neurons, that is, the tripartite synapse, we hypothesized that astrocytes might have a significant role in post-injury hyperreflexia and plasticity of neighboring neuronal synaptic dendritic spines. Here, we investigated the effect of selective Rac1KO in astrocytes (i.e., adult male and female mice, transgenic cre-flox system) on SCI-induced spasticity. Three weeks after a mild contusion SCI, control Rac1

    Abstract Cell death, be it of neurons or glial cells, marks the development of the nervous system. Albeit relatively less so than in tissues such as the gut, cell death is also a feature of nervous system homeostasis—especially in context of adult neurogenesis. Finally, cell death is commonplace in acute brain injuries, chronic neurodegenerative diseases, and in some central nervous system tumors such as glioblastoma. Recent studies are enumerating the various molecular modalities involved in the execution of cells. Intimately linked with cell death are mechanisms of disposal that remove the dead cell and bring about a tissue-level response. Heretofore, the association between these methods of dying and physiological or pathological responses has remained nebulous. It is envisioned that careful cartography of death and disposal may reveal novel understandings of disease states and chart new therapeutic strategies in the near future.

    Abstract A major complication with spinal cord injury (SCI) is the development of spasticity, a clinical symptom of hyperexcitability within the spinal H-reflex pathway. We have previously demonstrated a common structural motif of dendritic spine dysgenesis associated with hyperexcitability disorders after injury or disease insults to the CNS. Here, we used an adeno-associated viral (AAV)-mediated Cre-Lox system to knockout Rac1 protein expression in motor neurons after SCI. Three weeks after AAV9-Cre delivery into the soleus/gastrocnemius of Rac1-"floxed" adult mice to retrogradely infect spinal alpha-motor neurons, we observed significant restoration of RDD and reduced H-reflex excitability in SCI animals. Additionally, viral-mediated Rac1 knockdown reduced presence of dendritic spine dysgenesis on motor neurons. In control SCI animals without Rac1 knockout, we continued to observe abnormal dendritic spine morphology associated with hyperexcitability disorder, including an increase in mature, mushroom dendritic spines, and an increase in overall spine length and spine head size. Taken together, our results demonstrate that viral-mediated disruption of Rac1 expression in ventral horn motor neurons can mitigate dendritic spine morphological correlates of neuronal hyperexcitability, and reverse hyperreflexia associated with spasticity after SCI. Finally, our findings provide evidence of a putative mechanistic relationship between motor neuron dendritic spine dysgenesis and SCI-induced spasticity.

    Abstract Burn injuries and associated complications present a major public health challenge. Many burn patients develop clinically intractable complications, including pain and other sensory disorders. Recent evidence has shown that dendritic spine neuropathology in spinal cord sensory and motor neurons accompanies central nervous system (CNS) or peripheral nervous system (PNS) trauma and disease. However, no research has investigated similar dendritic spine neuropathologies following a cutaneous thermal burn injury. In this retrospective investigation, we analyzed dendritic spine morphology and localization in alpha-motor neurons innervating a burn-injured area of the body (hind paw). To identify a molecular regulator of these dendritic spine changes, we further profiled motor neuron dendritic spines in adult mice treated with romidepsin, a clinically approved Pak1-inhibitor, or vehicle control at two postburn time points: Day 6 immediately after treatment, or Day 10 following drug withdrawal. In control treated mice, we observed an overall increase in dendritic spine density, including structurally mature spines with mushroom-shaped morphology. Pak1-inhibitor treatment reduced injury-induced changes to similar levels observed in animals without burn injury. The effectiveness of the Pak1-inhibitor was durable, since normalized dendritic spine profiles remained as long as 4 days despite drug withdrawal. This study is the first report of evidence demonstrating that a second-degree burn injury significantly affects motor neuron structure within the spinal cord. Furthermore, our results support the opportunity to study dendritic spine dysgenesis as a novel avenue to clarify the complexities of neurological disease following traumatic injury.
