Transcription profiling of rat perineuronal A2B5/OTMP+ oligodendrocytes

ABSTRACT: Oligodendrocytes are cells from the central nervous system that can be grouped into precursors, myelin-forming, and non-myelinating perineuronal. The function of perineuronal oligodendrocytes is unknown; it was suggested that they can ensheath denuded axons. We tested this hypothesis. Using cell-specific tags, microarray technology and bioinformatics tools to identify gene expression differences between these subpopulations allowed us to capture the genetic signature of perineuronal oligodendrocytes. Here we report that perineuronal oligodendrocytes are configured for a dual role. As perineuronal, they integrate a repertoire of transcripts designed to create a cell with its own physiological agenda. But they maintain a reservoir of untranslated transcripts encoding the major myelin proteins for â we speculate â a pathological eventuality. We posit that the signature molecules PDGFR-Î±Î², cytokine PDGF-CC, and the transcription factor Pea3 used â among others - to define the non-myelinating phenotype, may be critical for mounting a myelinating programme during demyelination. Harnessing this capability is of therapeutic value for diseases such as multiple sclerosis. This is the first molecular characterization of perineuronal oligodendrocytes. Experiment Overall Design: Flow Cytometry was used to isolate A2B5/OTMP+ oligodendrocytes from postnatal day 7 rat brain. 4 bioloical replicates were obtained. This data can be compared to the previously submitted oligodendrocyte expression data (GSE5940).

Transcription profiling of differentiation of Rattus norvegicus oligodendrocytes from their progenitor cells

Project description:Oligodendrocytes undergo extensive changes as they differentiate from progenitors into myelinating cells. To better understand the; molecular mechanisms underlying this transformation, we performed a comparative analysis using gene expression profiling of A2B5+; oligodendrocyte progenitors and O4+ oligodendrocytes. Cells were sort-purified ex vivo from postnatal rat brain using flow cytometry. Using Affymetrix microarrays, 1707 transcripts were identified with a more than twofold increase in expression inO4+oligodendrocytes. Many genes required for oligodendrocyte differentiation were upregulated in O4+ oligodendrocytes, including numerous genes encoding; myelin proteins. Transcriptional changes included genes required for cell adhesion, actin cytoskeleton regulation, and fatty acid and; cholesterol biosynthesis. At the O4+ stage, there was an increase in expression of a novel proline-rich transmembrane protein (Prmp). Localized to the plasma membrane, Prmp displays adhesive properties that may be important for linking the extracellular matrix to the; actin cytoskeleton. Together, our results highlight the usefulness of this discovery-driven experimental strategy to identify genes relevant; to oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination. Experiment Overall Design: Whole brain dissociates were prepared from one litter of 10 male postnatal day 7 rat pups for each of the 5 A2B5 bioligcal replicates and the 4 O4+ bioligical replicates. Total RNA was extracted from single A2B5+ and single O4+ cells sorted directly from postnatal day7 rat whole brain dissociates using flow cytometry.

Transcription profiling of rat oligodendrocyres to identify dynamically regulated microRNA and mRNA Networks

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in modulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. In postnatal oligodendrocytes, the miRNA expression profile -â??microRNAomeâ?? - consists of 98 miRNAs whose expression dynamically changes during the transition from A2B5+ oligodendrocyte progenitor cells to premyelinating GalC+ cells. The combination of microRNAome profiling with analyses of the oligodendrocyte transcriptome reveals a target bias for a class of miRNAs which includes miR-9. We show that miR-9 is down-regulated during oligodendrocyte differentiation. In addition, miR-9 expression levels inversely correlate with the expression of its predicted targets, among which is the peripheral myelin protein, PMP22. PMP22 mRNA but not protein is detectable in oligodendrocytes, while Schwann cells producing PMP22 protein lack miR-9. We demonstrate that miR-9 interacts with the 3â?? untranslated region of PMP22 and down-regulates its expression. Our results support models in which miRNAs can act as guardians of the transcriptome. Experiment Overall Design: Flow cytometry was used to isolate single A2B5+ and single GalC+ oligodedrocytes from postnatal day 7 rat whole brain. 4 biological replicates were obtained for each group using a pooled litter of 10 pups per biological replicate

T cell mediated microglia activation triggers myelin pathology in a model of amyloidosis

Project description:Age-related myelin damage induces inflammatory responses, yet its involvement in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains uncertain, despite age being a major risk factor. Using a mouse model of AD, we found that amyloidosis itself triggers age-related oligodendrocyte and myelin damage. Mechanistically, CD8+ T cells promote the progressive accumulation of abnormally interferon-activated microglia that display myelin-damaging activity. Thus, immune responses against myelinating oligodendrocytes may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases with amyloidosis.

Progressive axonopathy when oligodendrocytes lack the myelin protein CMTM5

Project description:Chemokine-like factor-like MARVEL-transmembrane domain containing protein 5 (CMTM5) is a tetraspan-transmembrane protein highly enriched in oligodendrocytes and central nervous system (CNS) myelin. We analyzed the proteome of myelin biochemically purified from mouse brains upon genetic disruption of the Cmtm5-gene specifically in myelinating cells. An ion mobility-enhanced version of data-independent acquisition (DIA) workflow with alternating low and elevated energy (referred to as UDMSE) was used to compare protein abundance in Cmtm5 cKO and CTRL samples by label-free quantification. Specifically, dynamic range enhancement (DRE)-UDMSE was applied as a dedicated data acquisition mode recently introduced for routine differential myelin proteome profiling. We found that Cmtm5 cKO mice displayed a largely similar myelin proteome composition as control mice and, together with other data such as electron micrographs, concluded that CMTM5 is not essential for myelin biogenesis and composition. However, oligodendroglial Cmtm5-deficiency causes an early-onset progressive axonopathy, presumably following a Wallerian-like pathomechanism. These results indicate that CMTM5 is involved in the function of oligodendrocytes to maintain axonal integrity rather than myelin biogenesis.

T cell mediated microglia activation triggers myelin pathology in a model of amyloidosis [MERFISH]

Project description:Age-related myelin damage induces inflammatory responses, yet its involvement in Alzheimer's disease remains uncertain, despite age being a major risk factor. Using a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, we found that amyloidosis itself triggers age-related oligodendrocyte and myelin damage. Mechanistically, CD8+ T cells promote the progressive accumulation of abnormally interferon-activated microglia that display myelin-damaging activity. Thus, our data suggest that immune responses against myelinating oligodendrocytes may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases with amyloidosis.

Genetically perturbed myelin as a risk factor for neuroinflammation-driven axon degeneration

Project description:Axon degeneration and neurological dysfunction in myelin diseases is often attributed to loss of myelin. Perturbed myelinating glia can instigate chronic neuroinflammation and contribute to demyelination and axonal damage. We have previously shown in mice that distinct defects in the proteolipid protein 1 gene result in axonal damage which is largely driven by cytotoxic T cells targeting myelinating oligodendrocytes. Here we show in these mutants that persistent ensheathment with perturbed myelin poses a risk for axon degeneration, neuron loss, and behavioral decline. We demonstrate that CD8+ T cell-driven axonal damage is less likely to progress towards degeneration when axons are efficiently demyelinated by activated microglia. Mechanistically, we show that cytotoxic T cell effector molecules induce aberrant cytoskeletal plasticity within myelinating glial processes and constriction of axons at paranodal domains. Our study identifies detrimental axon-glia interactions which promote neurodegeneration and possible therapeutic targets for disorders associated with myelin defects and neuroinflammation.

Interactome of P21 Activated Kinase 1 (PAK1) in oligodendrocytes

Project description:In the central nervous system (CNS), myelin formation by oligodendrocytes (OLs) relies on actin dynamics. Actin polymerization supports the ensheathment step, when the OL process contacts and surrounds a selected portion of axon. While a drastic shift to actin depolymerization is then required to enable the wrapping process and the formation of a multilayered myelin sheath. Molecular mechanisms regulating this switch to actin depolymerization are not fully elucidated. P21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1), a downstream effector of Rho GTPases Rac1 and Cdc42, highly expressed in OLs, can regulate actin dynamics through its kinase activity. We found that PAK1 loss-of-function in OLs, in vivo, stimulates the wrapping and the thickening of myelin sheaths. We showed that PAK1 is highly expressed in myelinating OLs, yet in its inactive form, the one with the ability to trigger actin disassembly. Interestingly, we found that modulations of PAK1 kinase activity control actin dynamics in OLs, thereby myelin formation. Our data demonstrate that PAK1 inactivation in OLs is required for actin depolymerization and proper myelin formation, suggesting the presence of an endogenous PAK1 inhibitor in myelinating OLs. Proteomic analysis of PAK1 binding partners enabled us to identify several proteins likely to regulate its activity.
