Dynamic gene expression in Schwann cell for regulating myelination

ABSTRACT: To obtain the dynamic gene expression of myelinating Schwann cells, we have employed gene expression profiling microarray as a discovery platform to analyze the gene expression of Schwann cells in different stages of myelination in an DRG neuron and SC co-culture myelinating model. Rat Schwann cells and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons were cocultured and induced myelination in DMEM medium containing 15% FBS, 50 ng/ml NGF and 50 μg/ml L-ascorbic acid for 21d. During the co-cultivation, myelinating SCs at different stages dissected by Laser microdissection (LMD) in myelination model (i.e. co-culture 1d, 3d, 7d, 14d, 21d), the Schwann cells without co-culture as control samples (i.e. co-culture 0d). The results from Euclidean distance matrix, principal component analysis, and hierarchical clustering indicated that 2 nodal transitions in temporal gene expressions could segregate 3 distinct transcriptional phases within the period of DRG/SC co-culture 21 days. The 3 phases were designated as “premyelination”, “myelination”, and “mature phase”, respectively, by referring to morphological observation of post co-culture changes and gene ontology (GO) analysis.

New schwann cell markers identified by gene profiling analysis after axonal contact

Project description:Elucidating the genes regulated during cell-cell communication remains fascinating considering the importance of cell recognition and downstream signaling through development and in many diseases. In the peripheral nervous system, the interaction between Schwann cells (SCs) and axons is crucial as it allows their survival and induces SCs to differentiate and engage a process of myelination. To get further insight the molecular mechanisms resulting from this cell interaction, comparative gene analysis between SCs and SCs co-cultured with DRG neurons were performed and led us to identify a set of 32 genes regulated in SCs in the early stage of neuron-SC contact. Expression of several candidates were analyzed by QPCR during development and we demonstrate using a blocking antibody approach in an in vitro myelination assay that one candidate was not only upregulated in response to axonal contact but also controls peripheral myelination. Three biological replicates each in dye swap for 22k slides and two biological replicates each in dye swap for NeuroDev2

Functions of HDAC1 and HDAC2 in Schwann cells during postnatal

Project description:The aim of our study is to determine the functions of histone deacetylases (HDACs) 1 and 2 in Schwann cells during postnatal development of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Schwann cells are the myelinating glial cells of the PNS. At birth, mouse sciatic nerves mature in 2 subsequent phases: 1/ big caliber axons get sorted into a 1 to 1 relationship with Schwann cells, 2/ Schwann cells build a myelin sheath around sorted axons. In mice where both HDAC1 & HDAC2 have been specifically knocked out in Schwann cells, both phases are impaired. HDACs are chromatin remodeling enzymes, they can thus alter gene expression directly. We want to identify which genes controlled by HDAC1 and HDAC2 in Schwann cells are necessary for the maturation of sciatic nerves. Because HDAC1 and HDAC2 can compensate for each other loss to some extend, we will first analyze changes of gene expression in HDAC1/HDAC2 double KO animals. We expect to gain critical insights into the molecular mechanisms controlling Schwann cell differentiation and myelination. This knowledge is of key importance for the success of regenerative medicine in peripheral neuropathies, nerve tumors, and transplantation paradigms in non-regenerative CNS lesions and in large PNS injuries. 3 double knockout mutants for HDAC1 and HDAC2 and 3 control littermates were analyzed. Tissues analyzed: sciatic nerves of 2 day-old mouse pups

Deriving mature Schwann cells from human BMSCs

Project description:A protocol was established for the derivation of Schwann cell-like cells from human BMSCs. The commitment to the Schwann cell fate was acquired by Schwann cell-like cells in co-culture with rat DRG neurons. Microarray analysis provided evidence that the human BMSC-derived Schwann cells were functionally mature.

Specific functions for ERK/MAPK signaling during PNS development

Project description:We have established functions of the stimulus dependent MAPKs, ERK1/2 and ERK5 in DRG, motor neuron, and Schwann cell development. Surprisingly, many aspects of early DRG and motor neuron development were found to be ERK1/2 independent and Erk5 deletion had no obvious effect on embryonic PNS. In contrast, Erk1/2 deletion in developing neural crest resulted in peripheral nerves that were devoid of Schwann cell progenitors, and deletion of Erk1/2 in Schwann cell precursors caused disrupted differentiation and marked hypomyelination of axons. The Schwann cell phenotypes are similar to those reported in neuregulin-1 and ErbB mutant mice and neuregulin effects could not be elicited in glial precursors lacking Erk1/2. ERK/MAPK regulation of myelination was specific to Schwann cells, as deletion in oligodendrocyte precursors did not impair myelin formation, but reduced precursor proliferation. Our data suggest a tight linkage between developmental functions of ERK/MAPK signaling and biological actions of specific RTK-activating factors.

CTCF-dependent chromatin architecture and SUZ12/PRC2 complex recruitment are required for peripheral myelination and repair

Project description:Chromatin organization is critical for cell growth, differentiation, and disease development, however, its functions in peripheral myelination and myelin repair remain elusive. Here we observed a global diminution of chromatin accessibility during Schwann cell differentiation and demonstrated that the chromatin organizer CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is critical for Schwann cell myelination and myelin regeneration after nerve injury. Inhibition of Ctcf or its deletion blocked Schwann cell differentiation at the pre-myelinating stage, whereas overexpression of CTCF promoted the myelination program. CTCF establishes the chromatin interaction loop between promoters and regulatory elements to promote expression of key pro-myelinogenic factors such as EGR2. In addition, CTCF interacts with SUZ12, a component of polycomb-repressive-complex 2, to repress expression of immature Schwann cell-associated regulators including HES1, RSPO2, and CALCA. Together, our findings reveal the dual role of CTCF-dependent chromatin organization in promoting myelinogenic programs and recruiting chromatin-repressive complexes to block differentiation inhibitors to control peripheral myelination and myelin repair.

A Reciprocal Regulatory Loop Between TAZ/YAP and G protein Gαs Regulates Schwann Cell Proliferation and Differentiation

Project description:Schwann cell (SC) myelination in the peripheral nervous system is essential for motor function, and uncontrolled SC proliferation occurs in cancer. Here, we show that a dual direct role for Hippo effectors TAZ and YAP in regulation of SC proliferation and myelination through modulating G protein expression and interacting with SOX10, respectively. Developmentally-regulated mutagenesis indicates that TAZ/YAP are critical for SC proliferation yet also required for their differentiation and myelination. Genome-wide occupancy mapping and transcriptome profiling reveal that nuclear TAZ and YAP promote SC proliferation by activating cell cycle regulators, while targeting critical differentiation regulators in cooperation with SOX10 for myelination. We further identified that TAZ targets and represses Gnas, encoding Gαs-protein, which opposes TAZ/YAP activities to decelerate proliferation. Gnas deletion expands SC precursor pools and blocks myelination in the sciatic nerve. Thus, our study revealed that the Hippo/TAZ/YAP and Gαs-protein feedback circuit functions as a fulcrum balancing SC proliferation and differentiation, providing insights into molecular programming of SC lineage progression and homeostasis.

Transcriptomic analysis of the peripheral nervous system of Schwann cell-conditional FASN knockout mice

Project description:Myelination calls for a tremendous surge in cell metabolism towards lipids and membrane production. However, functional relevance of de novo fatty acid synthesis in myelinating cells remains unclear. We generated mutant mice in which the enzyme fatty acid synthase (FASN) was depleted conditionally in Schwann cells, the myelinating glial cells of the peripheral nervous system. To address how lack of FASN was affecting the development of the peripheral nervous system, we screened with an Affymetrix Transcriptomic approach the transcriptome of sciatic nerves and roots of P60 FASN mutant mice, comparing to control mice.
