Project description:Drosophila ensheathing glia decline in relative numbers during normal aging. Using p35, we inhibit apoptosis specifically in ensheathing glia, and show that this is sufficient to rescue the decline in ensheathing glia, improve neuromotor performance of aged flies, and increase lifespan. Remaining ensheathing glia from aged brains exhibit transcriptomes exhibiting signs of lipid metabolism and apoptosis dysregulation. Expanding ensheathing glia with p35 also prevented the accumulation of amyloid plaques and delayed premature death in a fly model of Alzheimer's disease.

Project description:Infection-induced aversion against enteropathogens is a conserved sickness behavior that can promote host survival1-3. The etiology of this behavior remains poorly understood, but studies in Drosophila have linked olfactory and gustatory perception to avoidance behaviors against toxic microbes4-6. Whether and how enteric infections directly influence sensory perception to induce or modulate such behaviors remains unknown. Here we show that enteropathogen infection in Drosophila can modulate olfactory perception through metabolic reprogramming of ensheathing glia of the antennal lobe. This reprogramming depends on JAK/STAT signaling activation in ensheathing glia as a consequence of infection-induced Unpaired cytokine expression in the intestine. JAK/STAT signaling induces the expression of glial monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) and the apolipoprotein glial lazarillo (Glaz), resulting in changes in glial lipid metabolism. This modulates olfaction sensitivity, promoting avoidance of bacteria-laced food and increasing animal survival. While transient in young animals, gut-induced metabolic reprogramming of ensheathing glia becomes constitutive in old animals due to age-related intestinal inflammation, contributing to an age-related decline in olfaction sensitivity. Our findings identify adaptive glial metabolic reprogramming by gut-derived cytokines as a mechanism causing lasting changes in neuronal activity in the aging animal.

Project description:To identify the gene expression profile of enteric glia and assess the transcriptional similarity between enteric and extraenteric glia, we performed RNA sequencing analysis on PLP1-expressing cells in the mouse intestine. This analysis shows that enteric glia are transcriptionally unique and distinct from other cell types in the nervous system. Enteric glia express many genes characteristic of the myelinating glia, Schwann cells and oli- godendrocytes, although there is no evidence of myelination in the murine ENS. Total RNA expression profiles of PLP1 expressing enteric glial cells (GFP+) and non-glial cells (GFP-negative) were obtained from the ileum and colon of juvenile PLP1-eGFP transgenic mice.

Project description:Photoreceptor damage in adult mammals results in permanent cell loss and glial scarring in the retina. In contrast, adult zebrafish can regenerate photoreceptors following injury. By using a stable transgenic line in which GFP is driven by the cis-regulatory sequences of a glial specific marker gfap, Tg(gfap:GFP)mi2002, previous studies showed that Müller glia, the radial glial cells in the retina, proliferate after photoreceptor loss and give rise to neuronal progenitors that eventually differentiate into regenerated photoreceptors. To identify the molecular mechanisms that initiate this regenerative response, Müller glia were isolated from Tg(gfap:GFP)mi2002 fish during the early stages of regeneration after light lesion and gene expression profiles were generated by microarray analyses. Keywords: time course Retinas were dissected from Tg(gfap:GFP)mi2002 zebrafish at 8, 16, 24, 36 hour post-lesion (hpl) and non-light-treated controls (0 hpl) and were dissociated by enzymatic digestion. GFP+ Müller glia were isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Independent hybridization of three biological replicates were performed for each time point.

Project description:Endovascular biopsy and fluorescence activated cell sorting was used to enrich for viable endothelial cells (ECs) from a vertebrobasilar aneurysm and the femoral artery. scRNAseq was then performed on 24 aneurysmal endothelial cells and 23 patient-matched non-aneurysmal femoral artery endothelial cells. cDNA libraries were prepared using the Smart-seq2 protocol on a Fluidigm C1 system (Fluidigm, South San Francisco, California) and sequenced on a HiSeq2500 machine (Illumina, San Diego, California).

Project description:Satellite glia are the major glial type found in ganglia of the peripheral nervous system that wrap around cell bodies of sympathetic and sensory neurons that are very diverse. Other than their close physical association with peripheral neurons, little is known about this glial population. Here, we performed single cell RNA sequencing analysis and identified five different populations of satellite glia from sympathetic and sensory ganglia. We identify three shared populations of satellite glia enriched in immune-response genes, immediate-early genes and ion channels/ECM-interactors, respectively. Sensory- and sympathetic-specific satellite glia are differentially enriched for modulators of lipid metabolism. Sensory glia are also specifically enriched for genes involved in glutamate turnover. Further, satellite glia and Schwann cells can be distinguished by unique transcriptional signatures. This study reveals remarkable heterogeneity of satellite glia in the peripheral nervous system.

Project description:Non-mammalian vertebrates have a robust ability to regenerate injured retinal neurons from Müller glia cells (MG) that activate the proneural factor Achaete-scute homolog 1 (Ascl1/Mash1) and de-differentiate into progenitors cells. In contrast, mammalian MG have a limited regenerative response and fail to upregulate Ascl1 after injury. To test whether Ascl1 could restore a neurogenic potential to mammalian MG, we over-expressed Ascl1 in dissociated mouse MG cultures and intact retinal explants. Ascl1-infected MG upregulate retinal progenitor-specific genes, while downregulating glial genes. Furthermore, Ascl1 remodeled the chromatin at its targets from a repressive to active configuration. MG-derived progenitors differentiated into cells that exhibited neuronal morphologies, expressed retinal subtype-specific neuronal markers, and displayed neuron-like physiological responses. These results indicate that a single transcription factor, Ascl1, can produce a neurogenic state in mature Muller glia. Expresssion profiling was used to determine the genes that were changed after Ascl1 infection of P12 cultured Müller glia compared with those present in P0 progenitors and P7-P21 Müller glia Retinas were dissociated and FAC-sorted from Hes5-GFP mice at P0, P7, P10, P14 or P21 and submitted for profiling. WT Retinas were dissociated at P12, grown for 1 week in culture, and infected with lentiviruses expressing Ascl1 or GFP for four days. Total RNA was extracted and submitted for profiling.
