Pioneer transcription factor Runx2 affecting biological function of Schwann Cells via self-inducible reconstruction of super-silencer to remodel chromatin [Smart-seq mRNA]

ABSTRACT: The expression of Runx2 in Schwann cells (SCs) increases significantly in the early stage of injury, but its underlying regulating mechanism remained unclear. After up-regulating Runx2 expression in SCs, the proliferation and migration ability of SCs decrease with increased cell apoptosis rate, and no obvious accelaration of axon regeneration rate could be seen when co-cultured with dorsal root ganlia. Through genome-wide mapping of the chromatin landscape, Runx2 displayed features of pioneer transcription factor (pTFs), which could independently action without histone modification, and execute positive feedback up-regulating gene expression of itself. In the meanwhile, it could construct the epigenetic mechanism of silencer to limit interactions of other transcription factors, then finally affect the fate of SCs, expecially SCs’ ability to deal with lipoproteins and form myelin. This study provides noval insight into key function of Runx2 in SCs as pTFs relying on its ability to reorganize the chromatin landscape within SCs, and interfering with the metabolism and synthesis of myelin sheaths by forming super silencers, therefore affecting the regeneration process of peripheral nerves.

An RNAi screen unveils a new player in stem cell self-renewal and long-term regeneration

Project description:Mouse hair follicles undergo synchronized cycles. Cyclical regeneration and hair growth is fueled by stem cells (SCs). Following hair regeneration, SCs within the bulge and its vicinity (upper ORS which becomes the bulge for the next cycle) briefly self-renew to replenish expended SCs and ensure long-term tissue regeneration. We used microarrays to detect the relative levels of global gene expression influenced by transcription factor Tbx1 in order to gain insight into how Tbx1 is invovled in regulating hair follicle SC self-renewal and long-term regeneration. Fourty eight hours after deplicaiton induced hair regeneration, hair follicle SCs were FACS-purified for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. To obtain homogeneous populations of expression profiles, we applied FASC technique to purify SC according to their cell surface markers.

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 and TIMP-1 in peripheral nerve: Implications for myelin formation

Project description:Remyelination is a key step in functional nerve regeneration performed by Schwann cells (SC). We have demonstrated that matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 is a major regulator of signal transduction and phenotypic switching in SCs. Herein, genome-wide transcriptional profiling, followed by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis revealed the MMP-9 signaling network and its endogenous inhibitor, TIMP-1, among the top induced genes of the injured sciatic nerve, that co-distributed with MMP-9 in myelinating SCs and the paranodal/nodal areas of myelinated fibers. Homo- and heterodimers of the active and proMMP-9 were purified from injured nerves using gelatin-sepharose. MMP-9 gene deletion increased the number of immature, GFAP+ mSC and post-mitotic cell counts that correlate with shorter myelin internodes in remyelinated fibers lacking MMP-9. MMP-9 is essential to nodal clustering of voltage-gated Na+ (Nav) channels. MMP inhibitor therapy diminished the expression of Nav 1.7 and 1.8. These data established the essential role of MMP-9 in guiding SC differentiation toward myelin production and in molecular assembly of the myelin domains. Modification of Nav channels in myelinated fibers may thus provide an important therapeutic approach for a number of facilitates regeneration and attenuated neuropathic pain. Gene expression profiling of total RNAs extracted from murine sciatic nerves, dorsal root ganglion and spinal cords at day 1 and day 5 post injury.

Scalable generation of Schwann cell precursors from human pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Schwann cells (SCs) are an absolute prerequisite for development of effective treatment of myelin disorders and nerve injuries. However, human sources of functional, myelinating SCs are extremely limited. Here, we have developed a novel, efficient strategy for producing directly an unlimited supply of functional human SCs via successful derivation of expandable Schwann cell precursors (SCPs) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) (hPSC-SCPs). Functional and molecular characteristics of SCs from hPSC-SCPs (hPSC-SCP-SCs) appeared to be similar to those of authentic Schwann cells. As a novel therapeutic target, transplanted hPSC-SCP-SCs effectively promoted axonal regeneration through directly myelinating regenerated-axons in sciatic nerve injured mice. Here, we present hPSC-SCPs and hPSC-SCP-SCs as an outstanding resource to use for investigating human Schwann cell pathology and biology and for translational approaches to PNS and CNS repair and regeneration.

Profiling of mouse sciatic nerve acetylome

Project description:Lysine acetylation is a reversible Post-translational modification (PTM) involved in a broad array of physiological functions. Recent studies have demonstrated the involvement of protein acetylation in modulating Schwann cells' (SCs) biology and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) regeneration. However, the underlying mechanism is still under investigation. This descriptive study characterized the mouse sciatic nerve (SN) acetylome and explored their cellular distribution. Using a modified workflow for acetylome analysis, we identified 483 acetylated proteins containing 1,442 acetylation modification sites in the SN of adult C57BL/6. Notably, over 70% of identified peptides were acetylated. Bioinformatic analysis suggested that these acetylated proteins are mainly located in the myelin sheath, mitochondrial inner membrane, and actin cytoskeleton, and highlighted the remarkable differences between the mouse SN and brain (PXD027299）acetylome. Further manual annotation indicated that most acetylated proteins were mitochondrial and energy, and cytoskeleton and cell adhesion (> 45%). The acetylate modification of three novel myelin-related proteins were verified, including 2', 3' -cycling-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP), Neurofilament light polypeptide (NEFL), neurofilament medium/high polypeptide (NFM/H), and periaxin (PRX). Immunofluorescence staining illustrated that, besides the nuclei, the acetylated proteins, including acetylated alpha-tubulin, were mainly co-localized with S100 positive SCs. Together, for the first time, this study provided a comprehensive mouse SN acetylome by using a simple but effective method. Moreover, we demonstrated that the acetylated SN proteins were predominantly located in SCs. These analyses and the method will contribute to understanding and uncovering the roles of protein acetylation in SCs development and PNS regeneration.

The dual role of Notch ligand Jagged1 in supporting cell plasticity and hair cell regeneration

Project description:Hair cells (HCs) within the inner ear cochlea are highly specialized mechano-sensory cells that enable us to detect sound. In humans and other mammals, HC loss is permanent and a leading cause of deafness. Recent studies in newborn mice revealed that supporting cells (SCs) have the capacity to form cochlear HCs, and that inhibition of Notch signaling dramatically increases the otherwise low rate of SC-to-HC conversion. It has been proposed that in the absence of HCs, the SC-specific Notch ligand Jagged1 (JAG1) mediates the HC-repressive role of Notch signaling. Here we show that conditional deletion of Jag1 at postnatal day2 (P2) increases the rate of HC formation/regeneration in cochlear tissue and organoids. However, Jag1 deficiency also reduces the expression of key progenitor and metabolic genes and attenuates PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling in cochlear SCs and Kölliker’s cells and we show that Notch1 and Notch2 are critical for mediating these pro-growth functions of Jag1. Conversely, we show that increasing JAG1/Notch signaling enhances the mitotic capacity of cochlear SCs/ Kölliker’s cells. Finally, we show that JAG1 expression declines in SCs as they undergo maturation, and that stimulation of JAG1 signaling boosts the ability of maturing cochlear SCs to form HCs in an mTOR-dependent manner.

Mouse sciatic nerve LC-MSMS - Delaying histone deacetylase response to injury accelerates conversion into repair Schwann cells and nerve regeneration

Project description:The peripheral nervous system (PNS) regenerates after injury. However regeneration is often compromised in case of large lesions, the speed of axon reconnection to their target being critical for successful functional recovery. After injury, mature Schwann cells (SCs) convert into repair cells that foster axonal regrowth, and redifferentiate to rebuild myelin. These processes require the regulation of several transcription factors, but the driving mechanisms remain partially understood. Here, we identify an early response to injury controlled by histone deacetylase (HDAC)2, which coordinates the action of other chromatin-remodeling enzymes to induce the upregulation of Oct6, a key transcription factor for Schwann cell development. Inactivating this mechanism using mouse genetics allows earlier conversion into repair cells and leads to faster axonal regrowth, but impairs remyelination. Consistently, short-term HDAC1/2 inhibitor treatment early after lesion accelerates functional recovery and enhances regeneration, thereby identifying a new therapeutic strategy to improve PNS regeneration after lesion.
