Article Abstract
Collapsin response mediator proteins (CRMPs) are cytosolic phosphoproteins that are functionally important during vertebrate development. We have generated a zebrafish gene trap line that produces fluorescently tagged Crmp1 protein, which can be dynamically tracked in living fish at subcellular resolution. The results show that Crmp1 is expressed in numerous sites in the developing nervous system. Early expression is apparent in the forebrain, epiphysis, optic tectum and the developing spinal cord. In the larval brain, Crmp1 is expressed in several distinct brain regions, such as the telencephalon, habenula and cerebellum. In addition, it is expressed in the spinal cord in a manner that persists in the larva. The results suggest that this Crmp1 protein trap line offers a powerful tool to track selected neuronal populations at high resolution.

Dysfunction of parvalbumin-expressing interneurons (PV-INs) in the cerebral cortex has been implicated in major depressive disorder. Perineuronal nets (PNNs), which encapsulate PV-INs, are considered to influence the structural and functional properties of PV-INs. Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) is a secreted protein constituent of PNNs, but the specific roles of Sema3A in modulating PV-INs during stress remain unknown.

Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes arise from autoimmune reactions against nervous system antigens due to a maladaptive immune response to a peripheral cancer. Patients with small cell lung carcinoma or malignant thymoma can develop an autoimmune response against the CV2/collapsin response mediator protein 5 (CRMP5) antigen, with approximately 80% of these patients experiencing painful neuropathies. Here we investigate the mechanisms underlying anti-CV2/CRMP5 autoantibodies (CV2/CRMP5-Abs)-related pain and find that patient-derived CV2/CRMP5-Abs bind to their target on rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and superficial laminae of the spinal cord, to induce DRG neuron hyperexcitability and mechanical hypersensitivity.

Semaphorin-3A (Sema-3A) is a secretory member of the semaphorin family that exerts regulatory functions at all phases of the immune response, both physiological and pathological. The main receptors transducing the Sema-3A signals comprise class A plexins (Plxns A1-A4) and neuropilin-1 (Nrp-1). The signaling pathways downstream of Sema-3A binding to its receptors are intimately associated with the pathogenesis of various immunological disorders, ranging from cancer to autoimmune diseases and allergies.

The immune environment surrounding the brain plays a fundamental role in monitoring signs of injury. Insults, including ischemic stroke, can disrupt this balance and incite an exaggerated inflammatory response, yet the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we show that the mast-cell-specific receptor Mrgprb2 regulates post-stroke brain inflammation from the meninges.

The nerve terminals distributed in the cornea are important for sensory perception and the maintenance of ocular surface homeostasis. In dry eye disease (DED), corneal nerves undergo functional and morphological changes that may be involved in abnormal ocular surface sensation and corneal pathology. However, changes in the spatial distribution of corneal nerves, including polymodal nociceptors, and their regulatory mechanisms remain unknown.
