RNA-seq profiles of WT and Qk-KO freshly isolated oligodendrocytes

ABSTRACT: Lipid-rich myelin forms insulating axon-wrapping multilayers essential for neural function, but how mature myelin maintains its structural lipid components remains obscure. Here we identify Quaking (Qki) as a major regulator of myelin lipid homeostasis. Qki depletion in adult myelinating oligodendrocytes disrupted myelin lipid metabolism and caused demyelination, resulting in progressive neurological deficits that could be partially rescued by high-fat diet. Mechanistically, Qki serves as a coactivator of the PPARb-RXRa complex, which controls transcription of lipid-metabolism genes, particularly those for fatty acid desaturation and elongation. Treatment of Qki-depleted mice with PPARb or RXR agonists alleviated neurological disability and significantly extended mouse survival. Furthermore, a subset of lesions from patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis were characterized by preferential reduction of myelin lipids and activities of lipid-metabolism pathways. Together, our findings demonstrate that continuous lipid synthesis is indispensable for mature myelin maintenance and highlight an underappreciated role of lipid metabolism in demyelinating diseases.

Quaking dysregulation contributes to demyelination and functional decline of the mouse auditory nerve after noise exposure

Project description:Myelinating glia in the auditory system enclose auditory nerve fibers, providing an insulating effect that facilitates rapid transfer of auditory information from the ear to the brain. Here we show that noise exposure at the levels sufficient for inducing hearing loss cause a rapid cellular and molecular response on myelinating glia that precedes neuron degeneration. The response is characterized by inflammatory response, myelin dysmorphology and widespread changes in myelin-related gene expression. Another characteristic was change in expression of the quaking gene (QKI), which encodes a group of RNA binding proteins that are enriched in myelinating glia. Changes in QKI were accompanied by changes in numerous known and potential QKI target genes, including many genes associated with myelination. Our results implicate QKI as a critical early component in the noise response, influencing glia dysfunction that leads to auditory nerve demyelination and, ultimately, sensorineural hearing loss.

Human cerebrospinal fluid autoantibody lipid microarray profiling (Fig. 1A)

Project description:Lipids comprise 70% of the myelin sheath, and autoantibodies against lipids may contribute to the demyelination that characterizes multiple sclerosis (MS). We used lipid antigen microarrays and lipid mass spectrometry to identify bona fide lipid targets of the autoimmune response in MS brain and an animal model of MS to explore the role of the identified lipids in autoimmune demyelination. We found that autoantibodies in MS target a phosphate group in phosphatidylserine and oxidized phosphatidylcholine derivatives. Administration of these lipids ameliorated experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by suppressing activation and inducing apoptosis of autoreactive T cells, effects mediated by the lipids' saturated fatty-acid side chains. Thus, phospholipids represent a natural anti-inflammatory class of compounds that have potential as novel therapeutics for MS. Fig. 1A. Lipid-array profiling of IgG+IgM antibody reactivity in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from MS patients (relapsing remitting MS; secondary progressive MS; primary progressive MS), healthy controls, and other neurological disease controls. Lipid hits with the lowest FDR (q=0.048) were clustered according to their reactivity profiles. 48 different lipids were custom-spotted in duplicate using the CAMAG Automatic TLC Sampler (ATS4) robot to spray 200 nl of 10 to 100 pmol of lipids onto PVDF membranes affixed to the surface of microscope slides. The slides were probed with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 59 human patient samples. 60 slides total: 18 relapsing-remitting MS, 14 secondary-progressive MS, 1 primary-progressive MS, 21 other neurological disease, 5 healthy control, 1 secondary Ab alone (not included in this submission). CSF diluted 1/10. HRP-conjugated secondary Ab (goat anti-human IgM/IgG) diluted 1/8000. ECL for 3 minutes.

Genome-wide maps of Qki-5 and PPARb in mouse oligodendrocytes

Project description:We found that there is a big overlap between the Qki5- and PPARb-binding events by ChIP-seq. Interestingly, the genomic distribution analyses of Qki-5- and PPARβ-binding events showed significant enrichment at the regions of the promoter/transcription start site (TSS) which were indicated by Pol II-binding events. The strong preference of the promoter/TSS co-occupancy suggested that Qki-5 might play an important role in PPARβ-mediated transcriptional regulation of its downstream genes.

Analysis of gene expression in QKI knockdown CG-4 cells

Project description:QKI is required for myelin formation in the verterbrate brain. It functions by binding RNA and regulating its stability, translation, and/or aternative splicing. We have used Affymetrix exon arrays to assess changes in gene expression in response to QKI knockdown on an exon level in rat CG-4 oligodendrocyte precursor cells. Knockdown cells were compared to control cells. Knockdown groups included QKI siRNA transfection, QKI shRNA stable transfection, and hnRNP A1 transient transfection. Control groups consisted of untransfected, control siRNA transfection, control shRNA stable transfection. Each group was analyzed in triplicate.

Interactome of P21 Activated Kinase 1 (PAK1) in oligodendrocytes

Project description:In the central nervous system (CNS), myelin formation by oligodendrocytes (OLs) relies on actin dynamics. Actin polymerization supports the ensheathment step, when the OL process contacts and surrounds a selected portion of axon. While a drastic shift to actin depolymerization is then required to enable the wrapping process and the formation of a multilayered myelin sheath. Molecular mechanisms regulating this switch to actin depolymerization are not fully elucidated. P21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1), a downstream effector of Rho GTPases Rac1 and Cdc42, highly expressed in OLs, can regulate actin dynamics through its kinase activity. We found that PAK1 loss-of-function in OLs, in vivo, stimulates the wrapping and the thickening of myelin sheaths. We showed that PAK1 is highly expressed in myelinating OLs, yet in its inactive form, the one with the ability to trigger actin disassembly. Interestingly, we found that modulations of PAK1 kinase activity control actin dynamics in OLs, thereby myelin formation. Our data demonstrate that PAK1 inactivation in OLs is required for actin depolymerization and proper myelin formation, suggesting the presence of an endogenous PAK1 inhibitor in myelinating OLs. Proteomic analysis of PAK1 binding partners enabled us to identify several proteins likely to regulate its activity.

Altered plasma membrane abundance of the sulfatide-binding protein NF155 links glycosphingolipid imbalances to demyelination

Project description:Myelination of axons enables efficient signal propagation in neurones. Myelin is a multi-layered membrane that wraps around neuronal axons forming extremely tight contacts that insulate the axon. Tight contact between the axon and myelin sheath is mediated by specific plasma membrane proteins and lipids, with disruption to these contacts causing devastating demyelinating diseases. We have generated two cell-based models of demyelinating sphingolipidoses and shown that the altered lipid metabolism changes the plasma membrane protein composition. The proteins that are altered in these cells play roles in cell adhesion and signalling, several of which have previously been implicated in a range of neurological diseases. The adhesion molecule Neurofascin, with a known role in myelin-axon contact sites, is significantly altered in response to sphingolipid imbalances, highlighting a potential new player contributing to the pathogenesis of galactosphingolipid-mediated diseases. We show that the Neurofascin isoform NF155, but not NF186, directly binds the sphingolipid sulfatide, but does not bind other galactosylated-sphingolipids. Furthermore, this interaction requires the full-length extracellular domain of NF155 and that the structure of this domain adopts an S-shape with important implications for the arrangement of proteins in the tight axon-myelin space. Together, this work identifies that glycosphingolipid imbalances drive changes in membrane protein abundance and that this may be driven by direct interactions between extracellular portions of these proteins with specific lipid headgroups.

White matter integrity requires continuous myelin synthesis at the inner tongue

Project description:Myelin, the electrically insulating axonal sheath, is composed of lipids and proteins with exceptionally long lifetime. Using 3D electron microscopy, mass spectrometry imaging, and quantitative proteome analysis, we addressed the question how myelin function is affected by myelin turnover. We studied the integrity of myelinated tracts after experimentally preventing the formation of new myelin in the CNS of adult mice by an inducible myelin basic protein (Mbp) null allele. Recombined oligodendrocytes continued to express myelin genes, but failed to establish MBP-dependent compaction of myelin sheaths. Abundance changes of myelin proteins upon Mbp ablation were analyzed in whole optic nerve lysates at different time points and compared with shiverer mice. This naturally occurring mutant is inable to developmentally form compact myelin due to the lack of MBP and served as proxy for the demyelination endpoint. Label-free protein quantification using an ion mobility-enhanced data-independent acquisition (DIA) workflow with alternating low and elevated energy (referred to as UDMS^E) revealed that numerous myelin proteins are reduced in abundance, while microglia and astrocyte markers were increased, indicative of neuropathology. Taken together, we observed an axonal pathology with about 50% myelin loss after 20 weeks and concluded that functional axon-myelin units require the continuous incorporation of new myelin membranes.
