Functions of HDAC1 and HDAC2 in Schwann cells during postnatal

ABSTRACT: 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.

Absence of Plekhg5 Results in Myelin Infoldings Corresponding to an Impaired Schwann Cell Autophagy, and a Reduced T-Cell Infiltration Into Peripheral Nerves

Project description:Inflammation and dysregulation of the immune system are hallmarks of several neurodegenerative diseases. An activated immune response is considered to be the cause of myelin breakdown in demyelinating disorders. In the peripheral nervous system (PNS), myelin can be degraded in an autophagy-dependent manner directly by Schwann cells or by macrophages, which are modulated by T-lymphocytes. Here, we show that the NF-κB activator Pleckstrin homology containing family member 5 (Plekhg5) is involved in the regulation of both Schwann cell autophagy and recruitment of T-lymphocytes in peripheral nerves during motoneuron disease. Plekhg5-deficient mice show defective axon/Schwann cell units characterized by myelin infoldings in peripheral nerves. Even at late stages, Plekhg5-deficient mice do not show any signs of demyelination and inflammation. Using RNAseq, we identified a transcriptional signature for an impaired immune response in sciatic nerves, which manifested in a reduced number of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells. These findings identify Plekhg5 as a promising target to impede myelin breakdown in demyelinating PNS disorders.

Expression data from intestine of HDAC1 and HDAC2 conditionally mutated mice

Project description:Acetylation and deacetylation of histones and other proteins depend on the opposing activities of histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases (HDACs), leading to either positive or negative gene expression changes. The use of HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) has uncovered a role for HDACs in the control of proliferation, apoptosis and inflammation. However, little is known of the roles of specific HDACs in intestinal epithelial cells (IEC). We investigated the consequences of ablating both Hdac1 and Hdac2 in murine IECs gene expression. HDAC1 and HDAC2 conditionally mutated mice were provided by Dr EN Olson (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX) (Montgomery et al., 2007). Floxed HDAC1 and HDAC2 mice were crossed with villin-Cre transgenic mice to insure specific intestinal epithelial cell gene deletion (Madison et al., 2002). Total RNAs from the colon of three control and three HDAC1/2 IEC-specific knockout mice were isolated with the Rneasy kit (Qiagen, Mississauga, ON, Canada).

Genome-wide mapping of binding of HDAC1/HDAC2 and H3K9/14Ac modification in control and Tet2/Tet3-deficient B cells

Project description:We report the genome-wide accumulation of HDAC1, HDAC2 and H3K9/14Ac in B cells. We found that the binding of HDAC1 and HDAC2 was observed mainly on proximal promoters, suggesting a redundant role of these HDACs in transcriptional regulation. This study provides a basis for the comprehensive understanding of Tet2/Tet3-HDACs-mediated B cell regulation.

HDAC1/2 and CD4+ T cells

Project description:Dynamic changes in histone acetylation patterns are mediated by the activity of histone acetyltransfereases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) and are key events in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression. The application of HDAC inhibitors revealed a variety of T cell functions controlled by reversible lysine acetylation and HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, HDAC7 and HDAC9 have been implicated in regulating T cell development and function. Nevertheless, unique functions of individual HDAC members in T cells and specific T cell functions that are regulated by HDACs are still only poorly understood. We previously showed that T cell-specific loss of HDAC1 (using the Cd4Cre deleter strain) leads to enhanced allergic airway inflammation and increased Th2 cytokine production. Interestingly, late T cell development was not impaired in these mice. However, HDAC2 was up-regulated in the absence of HDAC1, thus we hypothesized compensatory pathways/function between these two closely related class I HDAC family members in T cells. To investigate redundant and non-redundant functions of HDAC1 and HDAC2, we generated mice with a conditional T cell-specific (using Cd4Cre) combined loss of HDAC1 and HDAC2. As part of our study, we determined and compared the transcriptome of peripheral wild-type and HDAC1/2-null CD4+ T cells. Since loss of HDAC1/HDAC2 during late T cell development led to the appearance of MHC class II-selected CD4+ helper T cells that expressed CD8 lineage genes such as Cd8a and Cd8b1, we also analyzed the transcriptome of HDAC1/2-null CD4+CD8+ T cells.

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.

Genome-wide analysis of Schwann cell gene expression in LKB1-SCKO mutant mice prior to occurrence of axon degeneration

Project description:Analysis of gene expression in LKB1(Stk11)-depleted sciatic nerves (LKB1-SCKO) vs control nerves from age-matched mice. Gene expression profiles are predominantly derived from Schwann cell glia and provide important information about the response of peripheral nerve Schwann cells to inactivation of the metabolic regulator protein LKB1(aka Stk11). Total RNA obtained from sciatic nerve segments from 6 LKB1-SCKO mutant mice compared to RNA from nerve segments from 6 control mice (floxed LKB1 mutant mice that do not express Cre recombinase).

Dosage dependent tumor suppression by histone deacetylase 1 and 2 by regulation of Myc collaborating genes and p53 function

Project description:comparative genome hybridisation of Hdac1/2 cKO lymphomas and matched normal tissue Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are epigenetic erasers of lysine-acetyl marks. Inhibition of HDACs using small molecule inhibitors (HDACi) is a potential strategy in the treatment of various diseases and is approved for treating hematological malignancies. Harnessing the therapeutic potential of HDACi requires knowledge of HDAC-function in vivo. Here, we generated a thymocyte-specific gradient of HDAC-activity using compound conditional knockout mice for Hdac1 and Hdac2. Unexpectedly, gradual loss of HDAC-activity engendered a dosage dependent accumulation of immature thymocytes and correlated with the incidence and latency of monoclonal lymphoblastic thymic lymphomas. Strikingly, complete ablation of Hdac1 and Hdac2 abrogated lymphomagenesis due to a block in early thymic development. Genomic, biochemical and functional analyses of pre-leukemic thymocytes and tumors revealed a critical role for Hdac1/Hdac2-governed HDAC-activity in regulating a p53-dependent barrier to constrain Myc-overexpressing thymocytes from progressing into lymphomas by regulating Myc-collaborating genes. One Myc-collaborating and p53-suppressing gene, Jdp2, was derepressed in an Hdac1/2-dependent manner and critical for the survival of Jdp2-overexpressing lymphoma cells. Although reduced HDAC-activity facilitates oncogenic transformation in normal cells, resulting tumor cells remain highly dependent on HDAC-activity, indicating that a critical level of Hdac1 and Hdac2 governed HDAC-activity is required for tumor maintenance. genomic DNA from LckCre+;Hdac1/2 cKO lymphomas and matched normal genomic DNA was hybridized onto a Nimblegen whole genome array
