Transcriptome analysis of freshly isolated young and aged rat oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs)

ABSTRACT: The age-related failure to regenerate lost oligodendrocytes from oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) is associated with irreversible neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis. Consequently, regenerative therapies for chronic demyelinating diseases remain a long sought after but elusive goal. Here we show that adult OPCs lose their inherent differentiation potential with increasing age. Moreover, aged OPCs do not remain responsive to pro-differentiation signals, posing significant constraints on the effectiveness of remyelination therapies based on the enhancement of OPC differentiation. We show that this reduced regenerative capacity is associated with hallmarks of cellular ageing, including reduced metabolic function and increased DNA damage. We find that fasting or treatment with metformin can reverse these changes and restore the regenerative capacity of aged OPCs, improving remyelination in aged animals following white matter injury. Importantly, aged OPCs treated with metformin regain their responsiveness to pro-differentiation factors, suggesting a potential for synergistic effects of rejuvenation and pro-differentiation therapies. Our findings have direct implications for understanding oligodendrocyte regeneration failure with ageing and how it might be reversed therapeutically.

Changes in the oligodendrocyte cell progenitor cell proteome with ageing

Project description:Following CNS demyelination, adult oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) can differentiate into new myelin-forming oligodendrocytes in a regenerative process called remyelination. While remyelination is very efficient in young adults, its efficiency declines progressively with ageing. Here we performed proteomic analysis on OPCs isolated acutely from the brains of neonate, young and aged female rats. Approximately 60% of the proteins are expressed at different levels in OPCs from neonates compared to their adult counterparts. The amount of myelin-associated and cell adhesion proteins are increased with age, while cholesterol-biosynthesis, transcription factors and cell cycle proteins decreased. Our experiments provide the first ageing OPC rodent proteome, revealing the distinct features of neonatal and adult OPCs, and providing new insights into why remyelination efficiency declines with ageing and potential roles for aged OPCs in other neurodegenerative diseases.

Retinoid X receptor gamma signaling accelerates CNS remyelination

Project description:The molecular basis of CNS myelin regeneration (remyelination) is poorly understood. Here we generate a comprehensive transcriptional profile of the separate stages of spontaneous remyelination following focal demyelination in the rat CNS. White matter tracts in the rat caudal cerebellar peduncles were focally demyelinated using 0.1% ethidium bromide, the lesions were isolated using laser capture microdissection at 5, 14 and 28 days postlesion, followed by RNA extraction and Illumina beadarray analysis of differentially expressed transcripts. We found transcripts encoding retinoid acid receptor RXR-gamma is highly differentially expressed during remyelination, and that oligodendrocyte lineage cells express RXR-gamma in rat tissues undergoing remyelination and in active and remyelinated MS lesions. RXR-gamma knockdown by RNA interference or RXR-specific antagonists severely inhibit oligodendrocyte differentiation in culture. In RXR-gamma deficient mice, adult oligodendrocyte precursor cells efficiently repopulate lesions following demyelination, but display delayed differentiation into mature oligodendrocytes. Administration of the RXR agonist 9-cis-retinoic acid to demyelinated cerebellar slice cultures and to aged rats following demyelination results in more remyelinated axons. RXR-gamma is therefore a positive regulator of endogenous oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation and remyelination, and may be a pharmacological target for CNS regenerative therapy. 9 Samples analysed, 3 different time points each with 3 biological replicates.

Rapid and robust generation of functional oligodendrocyte progenitor cells from epiblast stem cells

Project description:Stem cell biology has garnered much attention due to its potential to impact human health through disease modeling and cell replacement therapy. This is especially pertinent to myelin-related disorders such as multiple sclerosis and leukodystrophies where restoration of normal oligodendrocyte function could provide an effective treatment. Progress in myelin repair has been constrained by the difficulty in generating pure populations of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in sufficient quantities. Pluripotent stem cells theoretically provide an unlimited source of OPCs but significant advances are currently hindered by heterogeneous differentiation strategies that lack reproducibility. Here we provide a platform for the directed differentiation of pluripotent mouse epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) through a defined series of developmental transitions into a pure population of highly expandable OPCs in ten days. These OPCs robustly differentiate into myelinating oligodendrocytes both in vitro and in vivo. Our results demonstrate that pluripotent stem cells can provide a pure population of clinically-relevant, myelinogenic oligodendrocytes and offer a tractable platform for defining the molecular regulation of oligodendrocyte development, drug screening, and potential cell-based remyelinating therapies. 6 total samples were analyzed. Pluripotent epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) were differentiated to patterned neural rosettes, oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), and oligodendrocytes. OPCs and oligodedrocytes were analyzed at two separate passages (3 and 11).

CRISPR-edited human ES-derived oligodendrocyte progenitor cells improve remyelination in rodents

Project description:In Multiple Sclerosis (MS), inflammatory demyelinated lesions in the brain and spinal cord lead to neurodegeneration and progressive disability. Remyelination can restore fast saltatory conduction and neuroprotection but is inefficient in MS especially with increasing age, and is not yet improvable with therapies. Intrinsic and extrinsic inhibition of oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) function contributes to remyelination failure, and we hypothesised that the transplantation of ‘improved’ OPCs, genetically edited to overcome these obstacles, could improve remyelination. Here, we edited human(h) embryonic stem cell-derived OPCs to be unresponsive to a chemorepellent released from chronic MS lesions, and transplanted them into rodent models of chronic lesions. Edited hOPCs displayed enhanced migration and remyelination compared to controls, regardless of the host age and length of time post-transplant. This study demonstrates that genetic manipulation and transplantation of hOPCs overcomes the negative environment inhibiting remyelination, with translational implications for therapeutic strategies for people with progressive MS.

Delaying aging and enhancing repair of the aged CNS myelin by β-NMN requires SIRT2

Project description:Myelin aging is a driving force of CNS aging, and age-dependent declined efficiency of remyelination caused by impaired differentiation capacity of aged oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) is a major cause of demyelinated diseases. Revealing how differentiation capacity of aged OPC is affected metabolically holds the key to find new way to rejuvenate the aged OPC. Here we screened out that NAD+ is one of the top metabolites impaired in premature aging OPC. Supplementing β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (β-NMN), an immediate NAD+ precursor, delays CNS myelin aging, promotes differentiation of aged OPC, and therapeutically and preventively rejuvenates remyelination in the aged CNS both ultra-structurally and functionally. To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the enhancing remyelination by NAD+ supplementation, using LC-MS we investigated the changes of proteome differentially regulated by NAD+ or DMSO in cultured OPC from P0 rat brain.

PARP1-mediated PARylation activity is essential for oligodendroglial differentiation and CNS myelination

Project description:The function of poly(ADP-ribosyl) polymerase 1 (PARP1) in myelination and remyelination of the central nervous system (CNS) remains enigmatic. Here we report that PARP1 is an intrinsic driver for oligodendroglial development and myelination. Genetic PARP1 depletion impairs the differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) into oligodendrocytes and impedes CNS myelination. Mechanistically, PARP1-mediated PARylation activity is not only necessary but also sufficient for OPC differentiation. At the molecular level, we identify the RNA-binding protein Myef2 as a PARylated target which controls OPC differentiation through PARylation-modulated de-repression of myelin protein expression. Furthermore, PARP1’s enzymatic activity is necessary for oligodendrocyte and myelin regeneration after demyelination. Together, our findings suggest that PARP1-mediated PARylation activity may be a potential therapeutic target for promoting OPC differentiation and remyelination in neurological disorders characterized by arrested OPC differentiation and remyelination failure such as multiple sclerosis.

Inhibition of phosphodiesterase-4 promotes oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation and enhances CNS remyelination

Project description:We used transcription-profiling to identify mitogen-activated protein kinase (Mapk) signaling as an important regulator involved in the differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) into oligodendrocytes. We show in tissue culture that activation of Mapk signaling by elevation of intracellular levels of cAMP using administration of either dibutyryl-cAMP or inhibitors of the cAMP-hydrolyzing enzyme phosphodiesterase-4 (Pde4) enhances OPC differentiation. Finally, we demonstrate that systemic delivery of a Pde4 inhibitor leads to enhanced differentiation of OPCs within focal areas of toxin-induced demyelination and a consequent acceleration of remyelination.

Investigation of Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cell Differentiation by Quantitative Proteomics

Project description:Oligodendrocytes, the myelinating cells of the central nervous system, are essential for correct brain function. They originate from oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) through a differentiation process which is only incompletely understood and impaired in a variety of demyelinating diseases. Better knowledge of this differentiation holds the promise to develop novel therapies for these disorders. We investigated the differentiation of rat oligodendrocyte precursor cells to oligodendrocytes in vitro. After confirmation of differentiation by immunohistochemical analysis using cell type-specific marker proteins, we conducted a quantitative proteomics study using tandem mass tags (TMT). We investigated four time points of differentiation covering early, intermediate, and late stages. Data analysis was perfomed using Mascot and Maxquant.
