M6A mRNA methylation is essential for oligodendrocyte maturation and CNS myelination

ABSTRACT: Oligodendrocytes are responsible for myelin formation and axonal trophic support in the vertebrate CNS. While a number of factors have been discovered that regulate oligodendrocyte lineage progression, the exact molecular mechanisms involved in this process remain unclear. Emerging studies have shown that N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most common internal RNA modification of mammalian mRNA, plays a critical role in various developmental processes. In this study, we demonstrate that oligodendrocyte lineage progression is accompanied by changes in m6A modification on numerous transcripts. In vivo conditional inactivation in oligodendrocyte lineage cells of an essential m6A writer component, METTL14, results in decreased oligodendrocyte numbers and CNS hypomyelination, although oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) numbers are normal. In vitro Mettl14 ablation disrupts post-mitotic oligodendrocyte maturation. In addition, Mettl14 ablation has distinct effects on OPC and oligodendrocyte transcriptomes. Together, our findings indicate that dynamic RNA methylation plays a critical regulatory role in oligodendrocyte development and CNS myelination.

Impact of Major Facilitator Superfamily Domain containing 2a (Mfsd2a) mediated lipid transport on oligodendrocyte lineage development at single cell level.

Project description:Mfsd2a is involved in transport of essential fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from the periphery across blood brain barrier (BBB) into the brain parenchyma. Loss of Mfsd2a in humans leads to microcephaly and hypomyelination. The significance of lipid species transported by Mfsd2a on oligodendrocyte lineage development is not known. Using OPC specific deletion of Mfsd2a (2aOKO) in mice we found that OPC cell state, differentiation and oligodendrocytes maturation is disrupted resulting in hypomyelination compared to 2afl/fl controls. Single cell RNAsequencing analysis was performed on total oligodendrocyte population from postnatal mouse brain using Ribo-TRAP mouse lines that labels complete oligodendrocyte lineage with GFP fluorescence to understand the influence of Mfsd2a on oligodendrocyte development.

Comparing the transcriptoms of Mettl14fl/fl and Mettl14 fl/fl; Olig2-Cre oligodendrocyre precursor cell (OPCs) and mature oligodendrocytes using Next Generation Sequencing

Project description:The goal of the experiment is to determine the transcriptome alternation of Mettl14 gene inactivation in different oligodendrocyte lineage cells(OPCs and mature oligodendrocytes), by comparing the Mettl14 fl/fl; Olig2-Cre(mutant) and Mettl14fl/fl(control) OPC and mature oligodendrocyte transcriptoms. Method: RNA collected from Mettl14fl/fl control and Mettl14fl/fl;Olig2-Cre OPC and oligodendrocytes was collected by standard protocols, sequenced using next generation high throughput sequencing technology, and processed in triplicate to produce a transcriptome profile deliminating the variable gene expression in the mutant cells. Results: We identified 11809 transcripts present in the OPC transcriptome, 586 were significantly upregulated and 177 were significantly downregulated in the mutant cells; Among 12,542 transcripts present in mature oligodendrocytes, 1388 transcripts were upregulated and 1247 were downregulated in the mutant cells(significance: q-value<0.001; fold changes (FC) that exceed 2.0 fold (log2 |FC|>1) in expression and an expression level that exceeds two counted transcripts per million (log2 |CPM| >1)) Conclusions: Mettl14 ablation differentially alters the OPC and oligodendrocyte transcriptomes

Functional characterization of DNA methylation in the oligodendrocyte lineage [RNASeq_Dnmt1cKO_OPC]

Project description:Oligodendrocytes derive from progenitors (OPC) through the interplay of epigenetic and transcriptional events. By integrating high-resolution methylomics, RNA-sequencing and multiple transgenic lines, this study defines the role of DNMT1 in developmental myelination. We detected hypermethylation of genes related to cell cycle and neurogenesis during differentiation of OPC, and yet, genetic ablation of Dnmt1 resulted in inefficient OPC expansion and severe hypomyelination associated with ataxia and tremors in mice. This phenotype was not caused by lineage switch or massive apoptosis, but was characterized by a profound defect of differentiation, associated with massive changes in exon-skipping and intron-retention splicing events, and by the activation of an endoplasmic reticulum stress response. Therefore, loss of Dnmt1 in OPC is not sufficient to induce a lineage switch, but acts as an important determinant of the coordination between RNA splicing and protein synthesis, necessary for myelin formation. mRNA profiles of P5 mouse Olig1+/+;Dnmt1flox/flox;Pdgfra-GFP and Olig1cre/+;Dnmt1flox/flox;Pdgfra-GFP sorted OPC were generated by RNA-sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2500.

Widespread N6-methyladenosine-dependent RNA Structural Switches Regulate RNA-Protein Interactions

Project description:We show that N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant internal modification in mRNA/lncRNA with still poorly characterized function, alters RNA structure to facilitate the access of RBM for heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (hnRNP C). We term this mechanism m6A-switch. Through combining PAR-CLIP with Me-RIP, we identify 39,060 m6A-switches among hnRNP C binding sites transcriptome-wide. We show that m6A-methyltransferases METTL3 or METTL14 knockdown decreases hnRNP C binding at 16,582 m6A-switches. Taken together, 2,798 m6A-switches of high confidence are identified to mediate RNA-hnRNP C interactions and affect diverse biological processes including cell cycle regulation. These findings reveal the biological importance of m6A and provide insights into the sophisticated regulation of RNA-RBP interactions through m6A-induced RNA structural remodeling. Measure the m6A methylated hnRNP C binding sites transcriptome-wide by PARCLIP-MeRIP; measure the differential hnRNP C occupancies upon METTL3/METTL14 knockdown by PAR-CLIP; measure RNA abundance and splicing level changes upon HNRNPC, METTL3 and METTL14 knockdown

Functional characterization of DNA methylation in the oligodendrocyte lineage [RNASeq_development]

Project description:Myelination in the CNS is modulated by interplay between transcription factors and recruitment of chromatin modifying enzymes. Using a network built from genome-wide DNA methylation and transcriptomic profiling of sorted oligodendrocyte lineage cells that integrates oligodendrocyte-specific ChIP-Seq data, we defined a crucial role of DNA methylation in coordinating the transition between progenitor cell cycle arrest and oligodendrocyte differentiation. We further identified DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) as key regulator of oligodendrocyte survival at this transition point, as we detected severe and extensive developmental hypomyelination only in Olig1cre/+;Dnmt1flox/flox but not in Olig1cre/+;Dnmt3aflox/flox mice or in Cnpcre/+;Dnmt1flox/flox. This phenotype was characterized by decreased expression of genes regulating myelination and lipid metabolism â despite the hypomethylation observed at these genetic loci Â â and upregulation of cell cycle and DNA-damage pathways. Therefore DNMT1 is a nodal point regulating proliferation, survival, and differentiation in the oligodendrocyte lineage, and is critical for cell number regulation in the developing brain. mRNA profiles of FAC-sorted P2 Pdgfra::GFP and P18 Plp1-GFP purified cell samples from mouse brains were generated by RNA-sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

PRMT5-regulates developmental myelination

Project description:PRMT5 is important for gliomas, however its physiological function in oligodendrocyte progenitors (OPCs), remains poorly understood. Here we report PRMT5 to be responsible for symmetric di-methylation of histone H4R3 (H4R3me2s) in OPC. PRMT5 depletion via CRISPR/Cas9 decreased H4R3me2s, altered the OPC transcriptome, and decreased OPC survival. Strikingly, these changes were associated with a marked increase of H4K5ac in OPC, but not in gliomas. Consistently, ChIP-sequencing analysis revealed increased genome-wide distribution of H4K5ac in PRMT5 knockout cells. In vitro acetylation assays demonstrated reciprocal inhibition between symmetric arginine methylation and lysine acetylation. Low H4R3me2s and high H4K5ac levels were also detected in OPC in mice with lineage-specific ablation of Prmt5 (Olig1-Cre;Prmt5fl/fl), resulting in severely impaired developmental myelination. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of acetyltransferase activity partially rescued the effect of Prmt5 deletion on oligodendrocyte-specific gene transcripts. Collectively, we identify PRMT5 as a critical modulator of histone acetylation and OPC differentiation in early developmental myelination.

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.
