Project description:RASopathies are a diverse group of developmental disorders associated with germline or somatic mutations in genes of the Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. We characterized in this dataset a mosaic mouse model, in which a constitutively active form of the MAPK effector Braf (V600E) is expressed in the embryonic progenitors of myelin-forming Schwann cells of peripheral nerves under the control of the MpZ(P0)-Cre recombinase. These mice develop an early, fully penetrant degenerative peripheral neuropathy. The RNAseq experiment compares total RNA extracted from whole sciatic nerves between spinal cord and knee between mutant and control pairs of littermates from six distinct outbred litters at postnatal day 21.

Project description:Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathies (HMSN) are the most common inherited peripheral neuropathies and comprise a group of genetically heterogeneous diseases. We study the genetic defects causing three demyelinating disorders: HMSN1A, HMSN-LOM and congenital cateracts facial dysmophism neuropathy (CCFDN) syndrome, which are caused by mutations in PMP22, NDRG1 and CTDP1, respectively. The function and patho-mechanisms of these genes is still unknown. To identify effects downstream of the mutations, thereby possibly involved in the disease process, we used Serial expression of gene expression (SAGE) and microarray analysis. We analyzed human Schwann cell lines from three normal subjects, one HMSN-LOM patient, two HMSN-1A patients and two CCFDN patients and compared our data to a recent dataset of human Schwann cells (4 normal subjects passage 1 vs. 3, GDS1869/GSE4030 M.B. Bunge, 2006). We excluded genes that were not consistently regulated between biological and technical replicates and genes that were found to be influenced by passage number (p<0.05). Comparing expression profiles of demyelinating neuropathies with different mutations we identified: 1. expression signatures specific for each genotype. 2. Genes commonly (dys)regulated in all screened neuropathies. Interestingly, these include genes that play a role in reorganization of sodium channels in central and peripheral nerves (S100A10, CD90), or extracellular matrix remodeling (e.g. TGFBI, SERPINE1, THBS1). We also found high up-regulation of genes involved in Schwann cell lineage and in particular, genes that are associated with an immature or pre-myelinating Schwann cell phenotype (i.e. Sox2, Sox10, COL18A1, TFAP2A, Pax3, CDH19). Our study shows that many genes, possibly contributing to nerve pathology can be identified by this approach. Experiment Overall Design: Experimental design: in total 12 (two-color) arrays were run. All neuropathy samples were in duplicate (technical replicates). Two CCFDN and two HMSN1A patients were also analyzed as biological replicates. Three healthy subjects were included from which one was in duplicate. All samples (Cy3) were compared to a common reference pool (Cy5) which consisted of a mix of all samples.

Project description:RASopathies are a diverse group of developmental disorders associated with germline or somatic mutations in genes of the Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. We characterized in this dataset a model of Schwann cell differentiation in vitro (Hörner et al. 2021, PMID: 34943800), in which a constitutively active form of the MAPK effector BRAF (Q257R) is endogenously expressed in two patient-derived human induced pluripotent stem cell lines from distinct individuals RMK0056C and RMK0138C, patients with cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome (OMIM #115150) as previously described (Yeh E, et al. 2018, PMID: 29158583). Two additional healthy donor hiPSC cell lines derived locally from commercially available fibroblasts, AG08H and hFF15, were also used as controls. The RNAseq experiment compares total RNA extracted from the four cell lines of cultures on day 18 (uncommitted Schwann cell precursor[SCP]-like phenotype) and day 31 (engaged SCP-like phenotype) of culture to find differentially expressed genes in the presence of continuous activation of MAPK signaling during early development and differentiation.

Project description:Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) is a tumour suppressor gene associated with inherited tumour susceptibility conditions, macrocephaly, autism, ataxia, tremor and epilepsy. Functional implications of this protein have been investigated in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. We describe the first patient presented with multifocal demyelinating motor neuropathy in association with a de novo PTEN mutation. The pathogenicity of the mutation was supported by altered expression of several proteins involved in tumorigenesis and fibroblasts showed a reversible defect in catalytic activity of PTEN against the secondary substrate, phosphatidylinositol 3,4,-trisphosphate, suggesting a novel and potentially treatable mechanism for multi-focal demyelinating motor neuropathy.

Project description:Female mouse models of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) have not yet been identified. Our aim is firstly to demonstrate that female BTBR ob/ob mice display robust DPN and secondly, to perform relevant comparisons with non-diabetic and gender-matched controls. Lastly, microarray technology was employed to identify dysregulated genes and pathways in the SCN and DRG of female BTBR mice. Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and sciatic nerve (SCN) were removed from female mice, RNA isolated and processed for gene expression profiling to identify differentially expressed genes using Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Arrays.

Project description:The core component of the class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex, Beclin 1, takes part in different protein networks, thus switching its role from inducing autophagy to regulating autophagosomal maturation and endosomal trafficking. While assessed in neurons, astrocytes and microglia, its role was far less investigated in myelinating glia, including Schwann cells (SCs), responsible for peripheral nerve myelination. Remarkably, the dysregulation in endosomal trafficking is emerging as a pathophysiological mechanism underlying peripheral neuropathies, such as demyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth diseases. By knocking out Beclin 1 in SCs we here generated a novel mouse model (Becn1 cKO), developing a severe and progressive neuropathy, accompanied by involuntary tremors, body weight loss and premature death. Ultrastructural analysis revealed abated myelination and SCs displaying enlarged cytoplasm with progressive accumulation of intracellular vesicles. Transcriptomic and histological analysis from sciatic nerves of 10-day and 2-month-old mice revealed pro-mitotic gene deregulation and increased SCs proliferation at both stages with axonal loss and increased immune infiltration in adults, well reflecting the progressive motor and sensory functional impairment that characterizes Becn1 cKO mice, compared to controls. Our study establishes a further step in understanding key mechanisms in SC development and points to Beclin 1 and its regulated pathways as targets for demyelinating CMT forms. A novel conditional gene knockout was generated to investigate the role that Beclin 1 exerts in Schwann cells and in myelination. The newly generated mouse line resulted in a model for severe and progressive peripheral neuropathy. Together with defective myelination, we described radial sorting defects, motor and sensory neuron impairments, immune infiltrate in adults and a huge transcripts deregulation. The emerged deregulated signalling pathways highlighted how Beclin 1 is able to coordinate integrated signaling pathways essential for Schwann cell maturation and nerve development and homeostasis.

Project description:The mechanisms of diabetic neuropathy (DN) development and progression are not fully understood. We examined global gene expression in the sciatic nerve (SCN) of BKS-db/db mice at 8 and 24 weeks of age to identify genetic pathways altered in peripheral nerves at early and advanced stages of DN. The sets of differentially expressed genes were analyzed to identify enriched biological functions and regulated genetic pathways. Our results suggest that carbohydrate metabolism and lipid metabolism pathways are dysregulated in the db/db SCN at 8 weeks of age. Impairment of Schwann cell-extracellular matrix interaction and axon guidance occurs early in the development of DN, while neurotrophic support, neurotransmitter transport and axonogenesis are impaired at the advanced stage of DN. Gene expression changes also suggest that oxidative stress- and inflammation-mediated nerve damage occurs by 8 weeks. Our analysis identified mechanisms regulated in the early stages of DN. Additionally, interactions between genes from different pathways provide insight into potential relationships among the regulated pathways.

RNA extracted from the SCN of four groups of mice: (8 week old db/db (n=8) or db/+ (n=8), and 24 week old db/db (n=6) or db/+ (n=7)) was hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip microarrays. Gene expression for the two genotypes (db/db vs. db/+) was compared at each age. Gene expression at the early and advanced stages of DN (8 weeks vs. 24 weeks) was also compared for each genotype.
