Injury-induced Erk1/2 signaling tissue-specifically interacts with Ca2+ activity and is necessary for regeneration of spinal cord and skeletal muscle.

The transition of stem cells from quiescence to proliferation enables tissues to self-repair. The signaling mechanisms driving these stem-cell-status decisions are still unclear. Ca2+ and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk1/2) are two signaling pathways that have the potential to coordinate multiple signals to promote a specific cellular response. They both play important roles during nervous system development but their roles during spinal cord and muscle regeneration are not fully deciphered. Here we show in Xenopus laevis larvae that both Ca2+ and Erk1/2 signaling pathways are activated after tail amputation. In response to injury, we find that Erk1/2 signaling is activated in neural and muscle stem cells and is necessary for spinal cord and skeletal muscle regeneration. Finally, we show in vivo that Erk1/2 activity is necessary for an injury-induced increase in intracellular store-dependent Ca2+ dynamics in skeletal muscle-associated tissues but that in spinal cord, injury increases Ca2+ influx-dependent Ca2+ activity independent of Erk1/2 signaling. This study suggests that precise temporal and tissue-specific activation of Ca2+ and Erk1/2 pathways is essential for regulating spinal cord and muscle regeneration.

Graphical Abstract | |
Fig. 1. Erk1/2 is activated in spinal cord upon injury. Stage-42 larvae were fixed 20 min post-amputation, then processed for transverse sectioning of the tail and co-immunostaining for Sox2 (neural stem cell), Xen1 (pan neuronal membrane) and pErk1/2 (phosphorylated/activated Erk1/2). Non-amputated siblings were fixed, embedded, and sectioned alongside amputated larvae including up to 105 μm posterior to the plane of amputation. A, Representative maximum-intensity projections of tissue sections at the indicated distance anterior to the plane of amputation. Scale bar: 10 μm. B, In approximately every other tissue section, all cells identified by DAPI and within the spinal cord delineated by Xen1 staining were analyzed for Sox2 and pErk1/2 fluorescent signal above an intensity threshold. Sections were pooled by distance from amputation (0 μm) into 50-μm bins: -x posterior (non-amputated only) and +x anterior. Data are mean±SEM percent of Sox2+ (9â42 cells/section except for amputated samples within 112 μm of the amputation: 0â24 cells/section) and Sox2- (8â44 cells/section) cells that are pErk1/2+. N ⥠3 independent experiments for total n = 4â6 larvae per treatment group. Difference in% pErk1/2+ between amputated and non-amputated larvae was analyzed by ANOVA by bin, and color-coded stars indicate *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001 in Sox2+ (dark blue) or Sox2- (light blue) cells. | |
Fig. 2. Erk1/2 is activated in muscle satellite cells participating in regeneration. Stage-39 larvae were incubated immediately following amputation with either Mek1/2 inhibitor (3 µM PD0325901) or only vehicle (0.1% DMSO; control) for 2â20 min or 1â3 days at 21 °C, and then processed for whole-mount Pax7 (muscle satellite cell) and pErk1/2 (activated Erk1/2) immunostaining. A, Representative maximum-intensity projections of larvae at 2 days post-amputation (dpa). Arrows indicate cells that are Pax7+/pErk1/2+.

C, Data are mean±SEM number of immunopositive cells in each 30 µm-wide region along the longitudinal axis of the tail up to 500 µm anterior to the amputation (0 µm) and the regenerating tail (gray shading).

Fig. 6. Injury enhances Ca2+ activity that persists in regenerating tissues. AâC, Stage-39 larvae globally expressing GCaMP6s were time-lapse-imaged before and after amputation using a fluorescent stereoscope at 0.5 Hz. The number of transients lateral to the myotome and up to 800 µm from the amputation site were counted during 25 â 10 min before and 10 â 30 min following the amputation. Immobilized larvae were incubated with indicated drugs or only vehicle starting just after the first imaging period, 10 min prior to amputation (t = 0).
