Adipo-glial signaling mediates metabolic adaptation in peripheral nerve regeneration

ABSTRACT: The peripheral nervous system harbours a remarkable potential to regenerate after acute nerve trauma. Full functional recovery, however, is rare and critically depends on peripheral nerve Schwann cells that orchestrate break down and resynthesis of myelin and, at the same time, support axonal regrowth. How Schwann cells meet the high metabolic demand required for nerve repair remains poorly understood. We here report that nerve injury induces adipocyte to glial signaling, and identify the adipokine leptin as an upstream regulator of glial metabolic adaptation in regeneration. Signal integration by leptin receptors in Schwann cells ensures efficient peripheral nerve repair by adjusting injury-specific catabolic processes in regenerating nerves, including myelin autophagy and mitochondrial respiration. Our findings propose a model according to which acute nerve injury triggers a therapeutically targetable intercellular crosstalk that modulates glial metabolism, to provide sufficient energy for successful nerve repair.

FOSL1 modulates Schwann cell responses in the wound microenvironment and regulates peripheral nerve regeneration

Project description:Peripheral glial Schwann cells switch to a repair state after nerve injury, proliferate to supply lost cell population, migrate to form regeneration tracks, and generates a permissive microenvironment for nerve regeneration. Exploring essential regulators of the repair responses of Schwann cells may benefit the clinical treatment for peripheral nerve injury. In the present study, FOSL1 regulates Schwann cell phenotype modulation and provided a novel therapeutic approach to orchestrate the regeneration and functional recovery of injured peripheral nerves.

A Histone Deacetylase 3-Dependent Pathway Delimits Peripheral Myelin Growth and Functional Regeneration [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Schwann cell remyelination defects impair functional restoration after nerve damage, contributing to peripheral neuropathies. The mechanisms that mediate remyelination block remain elusive. Upon small-molecule epigenetic screening, we identified HDAC3, a histone-modifying enzyme, as a potent inhibitor of peripheral myelinogenesis. Inhibition of HDAC3 markedly enhances myelin growth and regeneration, and improves functional recovery after peripheral nerve injury. HDAC3 antagonizes myelinogenic neuregulin/PI3K/AKT signaling axis. Moreover, genome-wide profiling analyses reveal that HDAC3 represses pro-myelinating programs through epigenetic silencing, while coordinating with p300 histone acetyltransferase to activate myelination-inhibitory programs that include HIPPO signaling effector TEAD4 to inhibit myelin growth. Schwann-cell-specific deletion of either Hdac3 or Tead4 results in a profound increase in myelin thickness in sciatic nerves. Thus, our findings identify the HDAC3-TEAD4 network as a dual-function switch of cell-intrinsic inhibitory machinery that counters myelinogenic signals and maintains peripheral myelin homeostasis, highlighting the therapeutic potential of transient HDAC3 inhibition for improving peripheral myelin repair.

Soluble Neuregulin1 is a negative regulator of myelination

Project description:Peripheral nerves are characterized by the ability to regenerate after injury. The activity of Schwann cells is fundamental for all steps of peripheral nerve regeneration: immediately after injury they de-differentiate, remove myelin debris, proliferate and repopulate the injured nerve. Neuregulin1 (NRG1) is a factor strongly up-regulated and released by Schwann cells immediately after nerve injury, known to play an important role for their de-differentiation, proliferation and survival. Nevertheless, up to now, the global analysis of the genes regulated by NRG1 was not performed. For this reason, we planned a deep RNA sequencing to generate a transcriptome database and identify all the genes regulated following stimulation of primary adult rat Schwann cells with soluble recombinant NRG1. Interestingly, the gene ontology analysis of the transcriptome shows that NRG1 regulates genes belonging to categories strongly regulated in the peripheral nerve immediately following injury. In particular, NRG1 strongly inhibits the expression of genes involved in myelination and in glial cell differentiation, suggesting that NRG1 plays a fundamental role in the de-differentiation (or “trans-differentiation”) process of Schwann cells from a myelinating to a repair phenotype. Moreover, NRG1 inhibits genes involved in the apoptotic process, therefore promoting cell survival, and up-regulates genes positively regulating the ribosomal RNA processing, thus suggesting that NRG1 actively stimulates new protein expression. This transcriptome analysis demonstrates that NRG1, which is strongly up-regulated immediately after injury, drives the expression of many important genes, thus playing a major role in the regeneration process.

Failures of nerve regeneration caused by aging or chronic denervation are rescued by restoring Schwann cell c-Jun

Project description:After nerve injury, myelin and Remak Schwann cells reprogram to repair cells specialized for regeneration. Normally providing strong regenerative support, these cells fail in aging animals, and during the chronic denervation that results from slow axon growth. This impairs axonal regeneration and causes a significant clinical problem. We find that aging and chronically denervated repair cells express reduced c-Jun protein and the regenerative support provided by these cells is also reduced. In both cases, genetically restoring Schwann cell c-Jun levels restores regeneration to that in controls. We identify potential gene candidates mediating this effect and implicate Shh in the control of Schwann cell c-Jun levels. These experiments reveal that a common mechanism, reduced c-Jun in repair cells, underlies two major reasons for regeneration failure in the PNS. They underscore the central importance of Schwann cell c-Jun as a regulator of nerve repair, and point to molecular pathways that can be manipulated for improving the clinical outcome of nerve injuries.

Changes in the coding/non-coding transcriptome and DNA methylome that define the Schwann cell repair phenotype after nerve injury

Project description:Schwann cell (Büngner) repair cells play a critical role in orchestrating nerve repair after injury, but the reprogramming process that generates them is poorly understood. We present the first combined whole genome coding and non-coding RNA and CpG methylation study after nerve injury. We show that genes involved in epithelial to mesenchymal transition are enriched in repair cells and we identify long non-coding RNAs in Schwann cells. We demonstrate that the AP-1 transcription factor c-Jun regulates the expression of certain micro RNAs in repair cells, in particular miR-21 and miR-34. Surprisingly, changes in CpG methylation are limited in injury, unlike development, and restricted to specific locations, such as enhancer regions of novel Schwann cell specific genes, such as Nedd4l, and near to local enrichment of AP-1 motifs. These epigenetic changes significantly broaden our understanding of Schwann cell reprogramming in peripheral nervous system tissue repair. To identify epigenetic regulators underlying successful nerve regeneration we generated RNA-Seq, small-RNA-Seq and whole genome bisulfite sequencing libraries for uninjured nerve versus three and/or seven day post nerve transection sciatic nerves of adult C57BL/6J mice crush.

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.

Sox2-dependent fibronectin fibrillogenesis controls directional collective migration of Schwann cells

Project description:The extracellular matrix is essential for tissue formation and regeneration through the control of cellular behavior. Deregulation of extracellular matrix components is associated to disease, including neurodegeneration. After peripheral nerve injury, Schwann cells guide regrowing axons to their targets. These glial cells migrate collectively and provide an extracellular environment to enable neural repair. How this occurs remains poorly understood. Here, we show that Sox2 controls fibronectin fibrillogenesis in Schwann cells to provide a highly oriented extracellular matrix, which supports their rapid collective migration with a continuous cellular flow. Sox2 directly activates fibronectin expression in Schwann cells, leading to an increase in fibrillogenesis and cellular huddling. Accordingly, loss of fibrillogenesis leads to glial disassembly and disorganized axon regrowth. In vivo, 7 days post nerve injury, we found that pro-regenerative Schwann cells co-express Sox2 and the EIIIA-containing fibronectin splicing isoform. This mechanism is conserved in mammals, including humans, but absent in zebrafish. Taken together, our results demonstrate that Sox2 directly controls fibrillogenesis and provide a novel mechanism for the modification of the environmental architecture by glial cells during neuronal repair.

Cell transplantation strategies for acquired and inherited disorders of peripheral myelin

Project description:Objective: To investigate transplantation of rat Schwann cells or human iPSC-derived neural crest cells and derivatives into models of acquired and inherited peripheral myelin damage. Methods: Primary cultured rat Schwann cells labeled with a fluorescent protein for monitoring at various times after transplantation. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were differentiated into neural crest stem cells (NCSC), and subsequently toward a Schwann cell lineage via two different protocols. Protocol 1 = treated with MesenPRO with Heregulin. Protocol 2 = coculture with iPSC-derived Motor Neurons. Cell types were characterized using flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry and transcriptomics. Rat Schwann cells and human iPSC-derivatives were transplanted into (i) nude rats pretreated with lysolecithin to induce demyelination or (ii) a transgenic rat model of dysmyelination due to PMP22 overexpression. Results: Rat Schwann cells transplanted into sciatic nerves with either toxic demyelination or genetic dysmyelination engrafted successfully, and migrated longitudinally for relatively long distances, with more limited axial migration. Transplanted Schwann cells engaged existing axons and displaced dysfunctional Schwann cells to form normal appearing myelin. Human iPSC-derived neural crest stem cells and their derivatives shared similar engraftment and migration characteristics to rat Schwann cells after transplantation, but did not further differentiate into Schwann cells or form myelin. Interpretation: These results indicate that cultured Schwann cells surgically delivered to peripheral nerve can engraft and form myelin in either acquired or inherited myelin injury, as proof of concept for pursuing cell therapy for diseases of peripheral nerve. However, lack of reliable technology for generating human iPSC-derived Schwann cells for transplantation therapy remains a barrier in the field.

The role of ATP citrate lyase in myelin formation and maintenance

Project description:Formation of myelin by Schwann cells is tightly coupled to peripheral nervous system development and is important for neuronal function and long-term maintenance. Perturbation of myelin causes a number of specific disorders that are among the most prevalent diseases affecting the nervous system. Schwann cells synthesize myelin lipids de novo rather than relying on uptake of circulating lipids, yet one unresolved matter is how Acetyl CoA, a central metabolite in lipid formation is generated during myelin formation and maintenance. Recent studies have shown that glucose-derived Acetyl CoA itself is not required for myelination. Moreover, the importance of mitochondrially-derived Acetyl CoA has never been tested for myelination in vivo. Therefore, we have developed a Schwann cell-specific knockout of the ATP Citrate Lyase (Acly) gene to determine the importance of mitochondrial metabolism to supply Acetyl CoA in nerve development. Intriguingly, the ACLY pathway is important for myelin maintenance rather than myelin formation. In addition, ACLY is required to maintain expression of a myelin-associated gene program and to inhibit activation of the latent Schwann cell injury program.
