タイトル The microglia-derived protein Sema4ab attenuates regenerative neurogenesis after spinal cord injury in zebrafish.
ジャーナル PLoS Biol
Abstract Zebrafish, in contrast to mammals, regenerate neurons after spinal cord injury, but little is known about the control mechanisms of this process. Here we use scRNA-seq and in vivo experiments to show that sema4ab, mainly expressed by lesion-reactive microglia, attenuates regenerative neurogenesis by changing the complex lesion environment. After spinal injury, disruption of sema4ab doubles the number of newly generated progenitor cells and neurons but attenuates axon regrowth and recovery of swimming function. Disruption of the plxnb1a/b receptors, selectively expressed by neural progenitor cells, increases regenerative neurogenesis. In addition, disruption of sema4ab alters activation state and cytokine expression of microglia, such that fibroblasts increase expression of the cytokine tgfb3, which strongly promotes regenerative neurogenesis. Hence, we propose that sema4ab expression in microglia attenuates regenerative neurogenesis in multiple ways, likely directly through plxnb1a/b receptors and indirectly, by controlling the inflammatory milieu and tgfb3 levels. Targeting Sema4A-dependent signaling in non-regenerating vertebrates may be a future strategy to improve regenerative outcomes.
