Extrinsic inflammatory, but not intrinsic oligodendroglial factors contribute to oligodendroglial differentiation block in multiple sclerosis

ABSTRACT: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most frequent demyelinating disease and despite significant advances in the immunotherapy, disease progression still cannot be prevented. Promotion of remyelination, an endogenous repair process, represents a promising new treatment approach. However, spontaneous remyelination frequently fails in MS lesions due to an impaired differentiation of progenitor cells into mature, myelinating oligodendrocytes. Intrinsic oligodendroglial and extrinsic inflammatory factors may contribute to this differentiation block. Therefore, we compared induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived oligodendrocytes (hiOL) from MS patients and healthy controls as well as their response to extrinsic factors. While functional capabilities or proteome compostion of both cell types were virtually indistinguishable, we discovered that Interferon-gamma (IFNÎ³) producing immune cells significantly impaired oligodendroglial differentiation and observed no differences in the functional capabilities or the proteome. In summary, these data indicate that the oligodendroglial differentiation block is not due to intrinsic oligodendroglial factors, but rather caused by the inflammatory environment present in MS lesions. These findings may contribute to the development of remyelination promoting strategies in MS.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most frequent demyelinating disease in young adults and despite significant advances in immunotherapy, disease progression still cannot be prevented. Promotion of remyelination, an endogenous repair mechanism resulting in the formation of new myelin sheaths around demyelinated axons, represents a promising new treatment approach. However, remyelination frequently fails in MS lesions, which can in part be attributed to impaired differentiation of oligodendroglial pr ...[more]

Project description:In multiple sclerosis (MS) and experimental models of demyelination, myelin repair is mostly achieved by oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). To gain insight into the biological specificity of these adult precursors, in the perspective to better understand why remyelination often fails in MS, we performed a micro-array analysis on purified populations of murine OPCs and oligodendrocytes. We demonstrated that, in a control environment, M-bM-^@M-^\quiescentM-bM-^@M-^] adult OPCs are more mature than neonatal OPCs, with a mRNA profile closer to oligodendrocytes. However, when demyelination occurs, adult OPCs revert to an immature gene expression profile, acquiring higher migration and faster differentiation capacities. Among the many genes differentially regulated by these M-bM-^@M-^\activatedM-bM-^@M-^] adult OPCs, genes of the innate immune response, IL1M-NM-2 and CCL2 were strongly upregulated after demyelination, with increased protein expression in experimental demyelinating lesions and within MS plaques. We first showed in vitro that both IL1M-NM-2 and CCL2 M-bM-^@M-^\accountM-bM-^@M-^] for increased migration capacities of adult OPCs, an effect that is suppressed by corresponding receptor blockade. Focusing on Ccl2, we then demonstrated that lentiviral over-expression of Ccl2 increases motility of M-bM-^@M-^\quiescentM-bM-^@M-^] adult OPCs, which become as mobile as M-bM-^@M-^\activatedM-bM-^@M-^] adult OPCs. This in vitro gain of function was further confirmed in vivo, by showing an increased migration of grafted CG4 oligodendroglial cells over-expressing-Ccl2. These results, demonstrating that M-bM-^@M-^\activatedM-bM-^@M-^] adult OPCs upregulate immune cues favouring their migration, open new perspective of demyelination-induced immune-glial interactions, which might influence both oligodendroglial and inflammatory cells, therefore play a key role in lesion fate in multiple sclerosis. In this study, we loaded purified population of progenitors of oligodendrocytes (OPCs) (from neonatal, 2-month-old, 2-month-old and cuprizone-treated brains) and of mature oligodendrocytes (OLs) (2-month-old brains) and compared their gene expression. We compared gene expression of neonatal OPCs, adult OPCs, adult OLs and adult OPCs from control conditions and from demyelinating conditions, using 3 to 4 independant replicates in each group.
