Transcriptomic atlas and interaction networks of brain cells in mouse CNS demyelination and remyelination [B6]

ABSTRACT: Demyelination is a hallmark of multiple sclerosis, leukoencephalopathies, cerebral vasculopathies and several neurodegenerative diseases. The cuprizone mouse model is widely used to simulate demyelination occurring in these diseases. Here, we present a high-resolution snRNA-seq analysis of gene expression changes across all brain cells in this model. We define signatures of prototypic responses to demyelination and remyelination for each cell type, including anti-stress, anti-oxidant-, metabolic-, hypoxia-, IFN-, and IL-33-driven responses, and validate them at the protein level and in IL-33R-deficient mice. We identify related transcription regulators underpinning these pathways, including STAT3, NF-κB, OLIG1 and MAFB. Furthermore, snRNA- seq data provide novel insights into how various brain cell types connect and interact, defining complex circuitries previously unknown to impact demyelination and remyelination. As an explicative example, perturbation of microglia caused by TREM2 deficiency impacts the oligodendrocyte responses to demyelination. Altogether, this study provides a rich resource for future studies investigating mechanisms underlying demyelination and remyelination.

MicroRNA profiling of demyelination and remyelination areas in corpus callosum of cuprizone-treated mice

Project description:Mouse cuprizone (CPZ ) model of experimental de- and remyelination was applied to mimic demyelination pathology of multiple sclerosis. In order to identify differentially expressed microRNAs involved in de- and remyelination, the affected areas of corpus callosum were isolated from mice exposed to CPZ and conducted an Agilent microarray analysis. To induce demyelination, CPZ was administrated for four weeks. Spontaneous remyelination occurs as mice returned to the regular diet after four weeks feeding with CPZ (DEM_4w). Remyelination was examined at two time points: acute remyelination induced by four weeks CPZ feeding followed by two days of regular diet (two days remyelination: REM_2d), and full remyelination induced by four weeks CPZ feeding followed by two weeks of regular diet (two weeks remyelination: REM_2w). Control mice (C) were kept on a normal diet. The following groups representing de- and remyelinisation pathology in corpus callosum of CPZ-treated mice were compared: Demyelination: 4weeks CPZ: DEM_4w; Acute remyelination: 4 weeks CPZ +2 days UNTREATED: REM_2d; Full remyelination: 4 weeks CPZ +2 weeks UNTREATED: REM_2w; and UNTREATED control (C). The experiments were performed using 2-4 animals per groups.

Gene expression in oligodendrocytes during remyelination reveals cholesterol homeostasis as a therapeutic target in multiple sclerosis.

Project description:Regional differences in neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia exist in the brain during health, and regional differences in the transcriptome may occur for each cell type during neurodegeneration. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is multifocal, and regional differences in the astrocyte transcriptome occur in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an MS model. MS and EAE are characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and axonal damage, with minimal remyelination. Here, RNA-sequencing analysis of MS tissues from six brain regions suggested a focus on oligodendrocyte lineage cells (OLCs) in corpus callosum. Olig1-RiboTag mice were used to determine the translatome of OLCs in vivo in corpus callosum during the remyelination phase of a chronic cuprizone model with axonal damage. Cholesterol-synthesis gene pathways dominated as the top up-regulated pathways in OLCs during remyelination. In EAE, remyelination was induced with estrogen receptor-β (ERβ) ligand treatment, and up-regulation of cholesterol-synthesis gene expression was again observed in OLCs. ERβ-ligand treatment in the cuprizone model further increased cholesterol synthesis gene expression and enhanced remyelination. Conditional KOs of ERβ in OLCs demonstrated that increased cholesterol-synthesis gene expression in OLCs was mediated by direct effects in both models. To address this direct effect, ChIP assays showed binding of ERβ to the putative estrogen-response element of a key cholesterol-synthesis gene (Fdps). As fetal OLCs are exposed in utero to high levels of estrogens in maternal blood, we discuss how remyelinating properties of estrogen treatment in adults during injury may recapitulate normal developmental myelination through targeting cholesterol homeostasis in OLCs.

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.

Fingolimod and remyelination - Fingolimod downregulates brain sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 levels but does not promote remyelination or neuroprotection in the cuprizone model

Project description:Remyelinating substances could be an essential supplement to immunomodulatory medications, optimizing the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Fingolimod is a sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1PR) modulator and crosses the blood-brain barrier. Central nervous system (CNS) cells express S1PRs, and Fingolimod could theoretically improve CNS remyelination and be neuroprotective per se, but data are inconsistent. We used the cuprizone model for investigating the effect of fingolimod on remyelination and axonal damage by Immunohistochemistry and quantitative mass spectrometry. After three weeks of remyelination, fingolimod-treated mice had more mature oligodendrocytes in the secondary motor cortex than the placebo group. However, fingolimod did not at any time point affect remyelination or axonal damage. We conclude that fingolimod does not promote remyelination or protect against axonal injury or loss after cuprizone exposure.

Dynamics of reactive astrocytes fosters tissue regeneration after cuprizone-induced demyelination [RNA-seq I]

Project description:Demyelination and dysregulated myelination in the CNS are hallmarks of many neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and leukodystrophies. Here, we studied GFAP+ astrocytes during de- and remyelination in the cuprizone mouse by exploiting the ribosomal tagging (RiboTag) technology. Analyses were performed 5 weeks after cuprizone feeding, at the peak of demyelination in the corpus callosum, and 0.5 and 2 weeks after cuprizone withdrawal, when remyelination and tissue repair is initiated. After 5 weeks of cuprizone feeding, reactive astrocytes showed inflammatory signatures with enhanced expression of genes that modulate leukocyte migration (Tlr2, Cd86, Parp14,Cxcl10). Furthermore, demyelination-induced reactive astrocytes expressed numerous ligands including Cx3cl1, Csf1, Il34, and Gas6 that act on homeostatic as well as activated microglia and thus potentially mediate activation and recruitment of microglia as well as enhancement of their phagocytosis. During early remyelination, region-specific astrocytes displayed reduced inflammatory response signatures as indicated by shut down of CXCL10 production. During late remyelination, the signatures of GFAP+ astrocytes shifted towards resolving inflammation by active suppression of lymphocyte activation and differentiation and support of glia cell differentiation. Astrocytes showed enhanced expression of osteopontin (SPP1) as well as of factors that are relevant for tissue remodelling (Timp1), regeneration and axonal repair. In conclusion, we detected highly dynamic astroglial transcriptomic signatures in the cuprizone model, which reflects excessive communication amongst glia cells and highlights different astrocyte functions during neurodegeneration and regeneration.

Temporal transcriptomic profiles of brain regions following acute and chronic demyelinating injury

Project description:Purpose: The central nervous system (CNS) possesses intrinsic remyelination capabilities in response to demyelinating injury. However, this remyelination potential is diminished as demyelinating disease such as multiple sclerosis progresses overtime. To better understand myelin repair processes, the goal of this study was to determine temporal transcriptomic changes in cerebral white matter (corpus callosum) and gray matter (cortex and hippocampus) after acute and chronic demyelinating injury. The cuprizone mouse model of de- and remyelination was used for this investigation. Methods: Adult C57BL/6 mice were exposed to cuprizone diet (0.2%) for 3, 5 or 12 weeks followed by returning to normal diet for up to 12 weeks for recovery. Brain regions were dissected for bulk RNA-seq. Conclusion: RNA-seq analyses suggest common and distinct spatiotemporal transcriptional alterations during CNS demyelination and remyelination. Dataset for this study represents the first that covers gene expression landscapes of three brain regions over extended regenerative periods after chronic CNS demyelination.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation enhances remyelination and decreases innate neuroinflammation in a Multiple Sclerosis rodent model.

Project description:This study investigated the effect of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) on innate neuroinflammation and remyelination in lysolecithin (LPC) induced demyelination, a preclinical model for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In a first experiment (demyelination experiment), LPC was injected in the corpus callosum of 33 Lewis rats, inducing a demyelinated lesion, and rats were treated with either continuously-cycled VNS (cVNS) or one-minute per day VNS (1minVNS) or sham VNS, from two days before the injection until three days post-injection (dpi), when they were killed for immunohistochemistry and proteomics analysis. This timepoint corresponded with a demyelinated lesion and peak inflammation. In a second experiment (remyelination experiment), 13 rats were analogously treated with either cVNS or sham from two days before LPC injection until 11 dpi, when they were killed for tissue prelevation for immunohistochemistry and proteomics. This timepoints corresponded with partial remyelination of the lesion. For proteomics analysis, 20 rats were randomly selected, namely five cVNS and five sham rats of the demyelination experiment, and five cVNS and five sham rats of the remyelination experiment.
