Abstract
Neural guidance proteins participate in motor neuron migration, axonal projection, and muscle fiber innervation during development. One of the guidance proteins that participates in axonal pathfinding is Netrin-1. Despite the well-known role of Netrin-1 in embryogenesis of central nervous tissue, it is still unclear how the expression of this guidance protein contributes to primary innervation of the periphery, as well as reinnervation. This is especially true in the larynx where Netrin-1 is upregulated within the intrinsic laryngeal muscles after nerve injury and where blocking of Netrin-1 alters the pattern of reinnervation of the intrinsic laryngeal muscles. Despite this consistent finding, it is unknown how Netrin-1 expression contributes to guidance of the axons towards the larynx. Improved knowledge of Netrin-1's role in nerve regeneration and reinnervation post-injury in comparison to its role in primary innervation during embryological development, may provide insights in the search for therapeutics to treat nerve injury. This paper reviews the known functions of Netrin-1 during the formation of the central nervous system and during cranial nerve primary innervation. It also describes the role of Netrin-1 in the formation of the larynx and during recurrent laryngeal reinnervation following nerve injury in the adult.

Laryngoscope 2024; 134:340-346. [PMID: 37543969 DOI: 10.1002/lary.30930] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The rat is a widely used model for studying vocal fold (VF) function after recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, but common techniques for evaluating rat VF motion remain subjective and imprecise. To address this, we developed a software package, called RatVocalTracker1.0 (RVT1.0), to quantify VF motion and tested it on rats with iatrogenic unilateral vocal fold paralysis (VFP). METHODS A deep neural network was trained to identify the positions of the VFs and arytenoid cartilages (ACs) in transoral laryngoscope videos of the rat glottis. Software was developed to estimate glottic midline, VF displacement, VF velocity, and AC angle. The software was applied to laryngoscope videos of adult rats before and after right recurrent and superior laryngeal nerve transection (N = 15; 6M, 9F). All software calculated metrics were compared before and after injury and validated against manually calculated metrics. RESULTS RVT1.0 accurately tracked and quantified VF displacement, VF velocity, and AC angle. Significant differences were found before and after surgery for all RVT1.0 calculated metrics. There was strong agreement between programmatically and manually calculated measures. Automated analysis was also more efficient than nearly all manual methods. CONCLUSION This approach provides fast, accurate assessment of VF motion in rats with minimal labor and allows for quantitative comparison of lateral differences in movement. Through this novel analysis method, we can differentiate healthy movement from unilateral VFP. RVT1.0 is open-source and will be a valuable tool for researchers using the rat model for laryngology research. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE NA Laryngoscope, 134:340-346, 2024.

Abstract
Challenges related to high-quality RNA extraction from post-mortem tissue have limited RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) application in certain skeletal muscle groups, including the intrinsic laryngeal muscles (ILMs). The present study identified critical factors contributing to substandard RNA extraction from the ILMs and established a suitable method that permitted high-throughput analysis. Here, standard techniques for tissue processing were adapted, and an effective means to control confounding effects during specimen preparation was determined. The experimental procedure consistently provided sufficient intact total RNA (N = 68) and RIN ranging between 7.0 and 8.6, which was unprecedented using standard RNA purification protocols. This study confirmed the reproducibility of the workflow through repeated trials at different postnatal time points and across the distinctive ILMs. High-throughput diagnostics from 90 RNA samples indicated no sequencing alignment scores below 70%, validating the extraction strategy. Significant differences between the standard and experimental conditions suggest circumvented challenges and broad applicability to other skeletal muscles. This investigation remains ongoing given the prospect of therapeutic insights to voice, swallowing, and airway disorders. The present methodology supports pioneering global transcriptome investigations in the larynx previously unfounded in literature.

[PMID: 35483501 PMCID: PMC9194551 DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2022.136658] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Revised: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 04/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Laminin-111 is a basement membrane protein that participates in motor innervation and reinnervation. During axonal pathfinding, laminin-111 interacts with netrin-1 (NTN1) and changes its attractant growth cone properties into repulsion. While previous models of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) transection show increased Laminin-111 and NTN1 production after injury, developmental expression in the larynx has not been defined. This study investigates the expression of laminin-111 in laryngeal muscles during primary laryngeal innervation of Sprague Dawley rats. Adult larynges and embryos were sectioned for immunohistochemistry with βIII-Tubulin, laminin subunit α-1 (LAMA1), NTN1, and α-bungarotoxin. Sections were processed for single-molecule inexpensive RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis of LAMA1 mRNA. LAMA1 expression increased in all intrinsic laryngeal muscles, except the medial thyroarytenoid (MTA), at E20.5. At E20.5 there was increased expression in the lateral thyroarytenoid (LTA) and posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA) compared to the MTA. NTN1 upregulation was limited to the LTA and lateral cricoarytenoid (LCA) at E16.5 without any increase in the MTA or PCA. LAMA1 and NTN1 expression did not strictly follow expected patterns relative to the known timing of innervation and does not appear to be acting similarly to its role following RLN injury. These differences between developmental and post-injury innervation provide targets for investigations of therapeutics after nerve injury.

Abstract
PURPOSE The pathogenesis of idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) is genetically complex. The aims of this study were to investigate the genetic profile and clinical manifestation of IHH in a Chinese pedigree and to discover new IHH-associated genes. METHODS The first step was to follow up the clinical phenotype and therapeutic outcomes of the pedigree in university hospital. The second step was that mutation screening was performed in this pedigree and 100 healthy controls. The third step was to further verify the pathogenicity of the discovered rare sequencing variant (RSV) by functional experiments. Whole exome sequencing, Sanger sequencing, testicular volume (TV), semen analysis, assessment of cell migration and necroptosis were performed. RESULTS One heterozygous RSV (p.G517E) in CHL1 was identified in two male IHH patients and their mother in the pedigree, but not in healthy controls. All the three individuals exhibited olfactory impairment. hCG/hMG treatment significantly improved TV, serum testosterone and/or semen parameters of the two male patients. Functional analysis indicated that CHL1 significantly regulated GnRH neuronal cell line (GN11 cells) migration and necroptosis, with alteration of ERK1/2 activation, calcium loading, and transcription of RIPK3 and MLKL. However, the above processes were negatively influenced by the CHL1 RSV. CONCLUSIONS Our study reports the genetic relevance of CHL1 in IHH, and characterizes the phenotypic and therapeutic profiles in patients carrying the CHL1 RSV. CHL1 may act as a new IHH-associated gene, and should be taken into consideration in future investigations for this field.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The present study investigated the characteristics of early internal laryngeal muscle atrophy in recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (RLNI) rats. STUDY DESIGN To observe the characteristics of early internal laryngeal muscle atrophy post RLNI. METHODS Rats were divided into three groups: sham-operated control group (n = 20), recurrent laryngeal nerve transverse injury group (RLNTI, n = 50), and recurrent laryngeal nerve blunt contusion group (RLNBC, n = 50). Five weeks after RLNI, certain rats were sacrificed weekly, and their laryngeal tissues were harvested. The atrophic features of internal laryngeal muscles were detected using hematoxylin and eosin. NF-κB and MuRF-1 levels were tested using IHC. RESULTS The atrophic degree and fibrosis of thyroarytenoid, posterior cricoarytenoid, and lateral cricoarytenoid muscles were related to the type of RLNI. The average myofiber cross-sectional areas increased before an obvious decrease in the RLNTI and RLNBC groups. Muscle recovery occurred in the RLNBC group starting 4 weeks after RLNI, but only a weak trend was observed in the RLNTI group in the 5th week. During the muscle atrophy process, MuRF-1 and NF-κB were upregulated early and were maintained at a high level, which showed a trend similar to muscle atrophy. However, NF-κB expression was opposite to MuRF-1 expression and muscle atrophy when the muscles recovered. CONCLUSION The atrophy degree of internal laryngeal muscles was associated with the type of RLNI. The NF-κB/MuRF-1 signaling pathway was involved in internal laryngeal muscle atrophy after RLNI, which is different from skeletal muscle after denervation.

Abstract
The intricate anatomy and physiology of cranial nerves have inspired clinicians and scientists to study their roles in the nervous system. Damage to motor cranial nerves may result from a variety of organic or iatrogenic insults and causes devastating functional impairment and disfigurement. Surgical innovations directed towards restoring function to injured motor cranial nerves and their associated organs have evolved to include nerve repair, grafting, substitution, and muscle transposition. In parallel with this progress, research on tissue-engineered constructs, development of bioelectrical interfaces, and modulation of the regenerative milieu through cellular, immunomodulatory, or neurotrophic mechanisms has proliferated to enhance the available repertoire of clinically applicable reconstructive options. Despite these advances, patients continue to suffer from functional limitations relating to inadequate cranial nerve regeneration, aberrant reinnervation, or incomplete recovery of neuromuscular function. These shortfalls have profound quality of life ramifications and provide an impetus to further elucidate mechanisms underlying cranial nerve denervation and to improve repair. In this review, we summarize the literature on reconstruction and regeneration of motor cranial nerves following various injury patterns. We focus on seven cranial nerves with predominantly efferent functions and highlight shared patterns of injuries and clinical manifestations. We also present an overview of the existing reconstructive approaches, from facial reanimation, laryngeal reinnervation, to variations of interposition nerve grafts for reconstruction. We discuss ongoing endeavors to promote nerve regeneration and to suppress aberrant reinnervation and the development of synkinesis. Insights from these studies will shed light on recent progress and new horizons in understanding the biomechanics of peripheral nerve neurobiology, with emphasis on promising strategies for optimizing neural regeneration and identifying future directions in the field of motor cranial neuron research.

Abstract
Purpose The larynx plays a role in swallowing, respiration, and voice production. All three functions change during ontogeny. We investigated ontogenetic shape changes using a mouse model to inform our understanding of how laryngeal form and function are integrated. We understand the characterization of developmental changes to larynx anatomy as a critical step toward using rodent models to study human vocal communication disorders. Method Contrast-enhanced micro-computed tomography image stacks were used to generate three-dimensional reconstructions of the CD-1 mouse (Mus musculus) laryngeal cartilaginous framework. Then, we quantified size and shape in four age groups: pups, weanlings, young, and old adults using a combination of landmark and linear morphometrics. We analyzed postnatal patterns of growth and shape in the laryngeal skeleton, as well as morphological integration among four laryngeal cartilages using geometric morphometric methods. Acoustic analysis of vocal patterns was employed to investigate morphological and functional integration. Results Four cartilages scaled with negative allometry on body mass. Additionally, thyroid, arytenoid, and epiglottic cartilages, but not the cricoid cartilage, showed shape change associated with developmental age. A test for modularity between the four cartilages suggests greater independence of thyroid cartilage shape, hinting at the importance of embryological origin during postnatal development. Finally, mean fundamental frequency, but not fundamental frequency range, varied predictably with size. Conclusion In a mouse model, the four main laryngeal cartilages do not develop uniformly throughout the first 12 months of life. High-dimensional shape analysis effectively quantified variation in shape across development and in relation to size, as well as clarifying patterns of covariation in shape among cartilages and possibly the ventral pouch.
