The objective of this study was to compare the transcriptomes of uninfected and canine distemper virus-infected Schwann cells, olfactory ensheating cells, central nervous system Schwann cell-like glia, and fibroblasts cultured under identical conditions in vitro.
ORGANISM(S): Canis familiaris 
Two mouse lines, OE/+ and OE/OE were generated expressing graded elevation (6 fold and 28 fold, respectively) of c-Jun protein selectively in Schwann cells. The effects of this on global gene expression and cellular structure in uninjured nerves was analysed during development and in the adult. Chan...

The myelin sheaths that surround the thick axons of the peripheral nervous system are produced by the highly specialized Schwann cells. Differentiation of Schwann cells and myelination occur in discrete steps. Each of these requires coordinated expression of specific proteins in a precise sequence, ...

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/ ...

The effects of Schwann cells on the neuro-stroma niche in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remain to be explored. Here, single-cell RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptome analysis of PDAC tissues reveals that Schwann cells induce malignant subtypes of tumour cells and cancer-associated fibr...

Recent reports of directed reprogramming have raised questions about the stability of cell lineages. Here, we have addressed this issue, focusing upon skin-derived precursors (SKPs), a dermally-derived precursor cell. We show by lineage tracing that murine SKPs from dorsal skin originate from mese...

Schwann cell maturation is tightly controlled by a set of transcriptional regulators. We have deleted the zinc-finger transcription factor Sip1 specifically from immature Schwann cells and observed a dramatic developmental delay. In an attempt to define the developmental stage of Sip1-deficient Schw...

DNA methylation is a key epigenetic regulator of mammalian embryogenesis and somatic cell differentiation. Using high-resolution genome-scale maps of methylation patterns, we show that the formation of myelin in the peripheral nervous system, proceeds with progressive DNA demethylation, which coinci...

In attempt to understand M.leprae interaction with the human host, Applied Biosystems microarrays containing 30,865 probles were used to identify modulated genes in primary human Schwann Cells (SC) infected with live M. leprae at two early time points, 24 and 48 hours. A total of 4 independent exper...

Analysis of genes regulated by canonical Wnt signaling in the murine primary Schwann cells. Total RNA from b-catenin fl/fl Schwann cells, after introducing loss-of-function mutations with HTN-cre, or mimicking gain-of-function mutations with Chir98014 or Wnt3a-treatments, was compared to the respect...
