The hippocampus on Blast-related Traumatic Brain Injury at Single-cell Resolution

To elucidate molecular features of the cells of Hippocampus, their progeny at each differentiation stage, and surrounding cells in hippocampus under blast wave-induced changes, cells were profiled from matched hippocampus of 3 mice that had received blast injury and 3 controls.Cell type specific gene expression responding to (blast-related traumatic brain injury, bTBI) were revealed, some of which were closely associated with pathogenesis post-injury. Furthermore, the diverse cell to cell interaction networks uncovered an array of cellular processes under bTBI. Our gene expression atlas provides extensive resources for future researches regarding bTBI induced pathogenesis, its therapeutic interventions or diagnostic tests. Hippocampus mRNA profiles of 8~10-week old mTBI and Sham mice were generated by scRNA-Seq.
