Project description:Formation of cortical connections requires the precise coordination of several discrete stages. This is particularly significant with regard to the corpus callosum, the largest white matter structure bridging both cerebral hemispheres, whose development undergoes several dynamic stages including the crossing of axon projections, the elimination of exuberant projections, and the myelination of established tracts. To comprehensively characterize the molecular events in this dynamic process, we set to determine the distinct temporal expression of proteins regulating the formation of the corpus callosum and their respective developmental functions. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic profiling was performed on early postnatal mouse corpus callosi, for which limited evidence has been obtained previously, using stable isotope of labeled amino acids in mammals (SILAM). The analyzed corpus callosi had distinct proteomic profiles depending on age, indicating rapid progression of specific molecular events during this period. The proteomic expression profiles were then segregated into five separate protein clusters, each with distinct trajectories relevant to their intended developmental functions. Our analysis both confirms many previously-identified proteins in aspects of corpus callosum development, and identifies new candidates in understudied areas of development including callosal axon refinement. We present a valuable resource for identifying new proteins integral to corpus callosum development that will provide new insights into the development and diseases afflicting this structure.

Project description:Two percent of all patients with X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) exhibit loss-of-function mutations in the palmitoylating enzyme, ZDHHC9. One of the main anatomical deficits observed in these patients is a decrease in corpus callosum volume and a disruption of white matter integrity. We demonstrated that ablation of Zdhhc9 in mice substantially impairs the maturation of oligodendrocytes, resulting in fewer mature, myelinating oligodendrocytes, higher numbers of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells and a decrease in the density of myelinated axons. Ultrastructural analysis of the remaining myelinated axons in the corpus callosum revealed further disruptions in myelin integrity. RNA sequencing and proteomic analyses revealed a concomitant decrease in the expression of genes and proteins involved in lipid metabolism, cholesterol synthesis and myelin compaction. These results reveal a previously underappreciated and fundamental role for ZDHHC9 and protein palmitoylation in regulating oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelinogenesis and provide mechanistic insights into the deficits observed in white matter volume in patients with mutations in ZDHHC9.

Project description:Microglia are brain-resident, myelin-phagocytosing cells, yet their role in lesion initiation in grey and white matter regions in multiple sclerosis (MS) is unclear. We isolated primary microglia from both, occipital cortex and corpus callosum, of 10 MS and 11 control donors and studied their transcriptional profile by RNA sequencing, thereby identifying regional and MS-associated changes. Identification of pathways underlying regional differences showed a relatively increased type I interferon response in cortical grey matter microglia, while white matter microglia more highly expressed NF-κB pathway genes. In normal-appearing white matter MS tissue, lipid metabolism genes were increased, suggesting processing of myelin by microglia already in areas seemingly devoid of MS pathology. Normal-appearing grey matter MS microglia showed increased activation of glycolysis and metal ion homeostasis, possibly reflecting microglia reacting to iron depositions. Notably, expression of genes associated with microglia homeostasis were hardly changed, suggesting that subtle regional changes in MS-associated microglia do not yet affect their resting state.

Project description:Whereas microglia involvement in virtually all brain diseases is well accepted their role for the control of homeostasis in the central nervous system (CNS) is mainly thought to maintain neuronal function through the formation, refinement and monitoring of synapses in both the developing and adult brain. Although the prenatal origin and the neuron-centered function of cortical microglia has recently been elucidated much less is known about a distinct amoeboid microglia population formerly described as “fountain of microglia” that appear only postnatally in the myelinating regions such as corpus callosum and cerebellum. Using large-scale transcriptional profiling, fate-mapping and genetic targeting approaches we identified a unique molecular signature of this microglia subset that arose from a CNS endogenous microglia pool independent from circulating myeloid cells. Microglia depletion experiments unexpectedly revealed an essential role of postnatal microglia for the proper development and homeostasis of oligodendrocytes. Our data provide new cellular and molecular insights into the myelin-supporting function of microglia in the normal CNS.

Project description:Microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), have two distinct phenotypes in the developing brain: amoeboid form, known to be amoeboid microglial cells (AMC) and ramified form, known to be ramified microglial cells (RMC) alongside several intermediate forms. The AMC are characterized by being proliferative, phagocytic and migratory whereas the RMC are quiescent and exhibit a slow turnover rate. The AMC transform into RMC with advancing age, and this transformation is indicative of the gradual shift in the microglial functions. Both AMC and RMC respond to CNS inflammation, and they become hypertrophic when they are activated by trauma, infection or neurodegenerative stimuli. The molecular mechanisms and functional significance of morphological transformation of microglia during normal development and in disease conditions is not clear. It is hypothesized that AMC and RMC are functionally regulated by a specific set of genes encoding various signaling molecules and transcription factors. To address this, we carried out cDNA microarray analysis using lectin-labeled AMC and RMC isolated from frozen tissue sections of the corpus callosum of 5-day and 4-week old rat brain respectively, by laser capture microdissection (LCM). The global gene expression profiles of both microglial phenotypes were compared and the differentially expressed genes in AMC and RMC were clustered based on their functional annotations. This genome wide comparative analysis helps in identifying genes that are specific to AMC and RMC. The novel and specific molecules identified in both microglial phenotypes can be targeted for therapeutic purposes in developing and adult brain diseases. We used microarrays to identify the genes specific to amoeboid and ramified microglia. RNA was isolated from the laser-captured amoeboid and ramified microglia from the corpus callosum of 5-day and 4-week old rat brain. The RNA was hybridised onto Affymetrix Rat 230 2.0 array.

Project description:Remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPostC) is a promising therapeutic intervention whereby brief episodes of ischemia/reperfusion of one organ (limb) mitigate damage in another organ (brain) that has experienced severe hypoxia-ischemia. 16 Large White newborn female piglets were exposed to a tightly controlled hypoxic-ischemic insult using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) biomarkers. After hypoxia-ischemia (HI), piglets were randomized to: (i) no intervention (nâ=â8); (ii) RIPostC â with four, 10-min cycles of bilateral lower limb ischemia/reperfusion immediately after HI (nâ=â8). Piglets in the remote post-conditioned group exhibited a reduction in white matter proton MRS lactate/N acetyl aspartate and increased whole brain phosphorus-31 MRS ATP over the 48âh after hypoxia-ischemia. Cell death (apoptosis) was reduced with RIPostC in the periventricular white matter, internal capsule and corpus callosum. There was also reduced microglial activation in corpus callosum and more surviving oligodendrocytes in corpus callosum and periventricular white matter. Our results demonstrate changes in the expression of 74 genes in the periventricular white matter 63 were down regulated and 11 were upregulated, that accompany the reductions in cell death and microglial activation seen following a remote post conditioning stimulus at a single 48h time point. (significance was calculated at p<0.05, one way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney unpaired, noe were found to be significant following a Benjamini-Hochberg FDR multipe testing correction). Many of these genes are thought to be important for the mediation of the neuroprotective effects of post-conditioning which suggests its genomic effects may persist for 48h.

Project description:Two percent of all patients with X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) exhibit loss-of-function mutations in the palmitoylating enzyme, ZDHHC91,2. One of the main anatomical deficits observed in these patients is a decrease in corpus callosum volume and a disruption of white matter integrity. We demonstrated that ablation of Zdhhc9 in mice substantially impairs the maturation of ligodendrocytes, resulting in fewer mature, myelinating oligodendrocytes, higher numbers of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells and a decrease in the density of myelinated axons. Ultrastructural analysis of the remaining myelinated axons in the corpus callosum revealed further disruptions in myelin integrity. RNA sequencing and proteomic analyses revealed a concomitant decrease in the expression of genes and proteins involved in lipid metabolism, cholesterol synthesis and myelin compaction. These results reveal a previously underappreciated and fundamental role for ZDHHC9 and protein palmitoylation in regulating oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelinogenesis and provide mechanistic insights into the deficits observed in white matter volume in patients with mutations in ZDHHC9.

Project description:Maternal IgG is an immunoglobulin present in breast milk and has been shown to play a role in the development of the immune system in infants. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of maternal IgG on brain development in mouse pups. Maternal IgG immunoreactivity was observed in microglial cells of the pup brain, peaking at postnatal 8 day. In particular, strong IgG immunoreactivity was observed in the microglia in the corpus callosum and cerebellar white matter. IgG stimulation of primary cultured microglia resulted in activation of the type I interferon feedback loop by Syk. Among the IgG subclasses, IgG2a was found to have a strong influence on microglia. Analysis of FcRn KO mice that were unable to take up IgG from their mothers revealed that these mice had abnormalities in the proliferation and/or survival of microglia, oligodendrocytes, and some types of interneurons. FcRn KO mice also exhibited abnormalities in social behavior and adaptation to novel environments. This study suggests that maternal IgG affects brain development in pups.

Project description:Astrocytes are broadly categorized as protoplasmic or fibrous, with the former localized to synaptically dense gray matter regions and the latter associated with axons in the white matter. Much of what we know about astrocyte form and function is derived from the study of protoplasmic astrocytes, whereas fibrous astrocytes remain relatively unexplored. We investigated the transcriptome of uninjured fibrous astrocytes in the mouse from three regions: unmyelinated optic nerve head (ONH), myelinated optic nerve proper (ONP), and corpus callosum (CC).
