Specific functions for ERK/MAPK signaling during PNS development

ABSTRACT: 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.

11q deletion or ALK activity curbs DLG2 expression to maintain an undifferentiated state in neuroblastoma.

Project description:High-risk 11q deleted neuroblastomas (NBs) typically display an undifferentiated/poorly differentiated morphology. NB is thought to develop from Schwann cell precursors (SCPs) and un-differentiated neural crest derived cells (NCC). It is therefore vital to understand the mechanisms involved in the block of differentiation. We showed that an important and novel role for oncogenic ALK-ERK1/2-SP1 signaling may be the maintenance of an undifferentiated state of transformed NC-derived progenitors that is achieved by repression of DLG2, a tumor suppressor in NB. DLG2 is expressed in the ‘bridge signature’ that represents the transcriptional transition state when neural crest cells or Schwann Cell Precursors (SCP) become chromaffin cells of the adrenal gland. The importance of SP1 and DLG2 in this process is highlighted by our findings that restoring DLG2 expression spontaneously drives NB differentiation. Further, genetic analysis of high-risk 11q deletion NB patient identified genetic lesions in the DLG2 gene, Our data also suggest that further exploration of other ‘bridge genes’ may help to better understand the mechanisms underlying the differentiation of NC-derived progenitors and their contribution to NB.

Dynamic gene expression in Schwann cell for regulating myelination

Project description:To obtain the dynamic gene expression of myelinating Schwann cells, we have employed gene expression profiling microarray as a discovery platform to analyze the gene expression of Schwann cells in different stages of myelination in an DRG neuron and SC co-culture myelinating model. Rat Schwann cells and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons were cocultured and induced myelination in DMEM medium containing 15% FBS, 50 ng/ml NGF and 50 μg/ml L-ascorbic acid for 21d. During the co-cultivation, myelinating SCs at different stages dissected by Laser microdissection (LMD) in myelination model (i.e. co-culture 1d, 3d, 7d, 14d, 21d), the Schwann cells without co-culture as control samples (i.e. co-culture 0d). The results from Euclidean distance matrix, principal component analysis, and hierarchical clustering indicated that 2 nodal transitions in temporal gene expressions could segregate 3 distinct transcriptional phases within the period of DRG/SC co-culture 21 days. The 3 phases were designated as “premyelination”, “myelination”, and “mature phase”, respectively, by referring to morphological observation of post co-culture changes and gene ontology (GO) analysis.

Single-cell RNA-seq reveals the difference between Schwann cells in dorsal root ganglion and sciatic nerve

Project description:Schwann cells are important glial cells in peripheral nervous system. In this study, we performed single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis of Schwann cells exist in both dorsal root ganglion(DRG) and sciatic nerve.We categorized DRG and sciatic nerve Schwann cells into different subtypes,and found common subtypes and different subtypes.In addition, we discovered the proliferation and migration ability of Schwann cells were distinct in different tissues.Our current study revealed the distinctive characteristics of Schwann cells in DRG and sciatic nerve.

Scaling proprioceptor gene transcription by retrograde NT3 signaling

Project description:Transcriptional analysis of identified DRG subpopulations. Cell-type specific intrinsic programs instruct neuronal subpopulations before target-derived factors influence later neuronal maturation. Retrograde neurotrophin signaling controls neuronal survival and maturation of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons, but how these potent signaling pathways intersect with transcriptional programs established at earlier developmental stages remains poorly understood. Here we determine the consequences of genetic alternation of NT3 signaling on genome-wide transcription programs in proprioceptors, an important sensory neuron subpopulation involved in motor reflex behavior. We find that the expression of many proprioceptor-enriched genes is dramatically altered by genetic NT3 elimination, independent of survival-related activities. Combinatorial analysis of gene expression profiles with proprioceptors isolated from mice expressing surplus muscular NT3 identifies an anticorrelated gene set with transcriptional levels scaled in opposite directions. Voluntary running experiments in adult mice further demonstrate the maintenance of transcriptional adjustability of genes expressed by DRG neurons, pointing to life-long gene expression plasticity in sensory neurons. We combined a mouse line expressing GFP under the control of the TrkC promoter (BAC transgene approach) with various NT3 signaling mutants in order to identify the transcriptional changes in identified subpopulations of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. Sorted cells were processed for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Analysis was performed a postnatal (p) day p0. Subsequent analysis focused on the transcriptional profile of DRG neuron subpopulations at specific lumbar levels. Additional work addressed the transcriptional changes in whole DRG in adult mice with and without physical exercise.

Gene expression profile in DRG neurons over-expressing NRG1 type III intracellular domain

Project description:In DRG neurons NRG1 type III intacellular domain (ICD) moves to the nucleus upon contact with Schwann cells. We aimed to investigate genes up/down regulated by ICD. We analyzed total RNA from DRG neurons over-expressing ICD comparing it to RNA from wild-type DRG neurons and RNA from DRG neurons over-expressing EGFP. We used 4 biological replicates and two technical replicates for each condition.

Genome-wide transcriptome analysis of neuron-enriched DRG cultures exposed to Wnt3a

Project description:To test the potential of canonical Wnt signalling to modulate nociception via transcriptional regulation in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, we performed a genome-wide transcriptome analysis of neuron-enriched DRG cultures treated with Wnt3a or vehicle for 6 hours. Total RNA obtained from neuron-enriched mouse DRG culture subjected to Wnt3a treatment for 6 hours was compared to a matched control (vehicle-treated) DRG culture.

Deriving mature Schwann cells from human BMSCs

Project description:A protocol was established for the derivation of Schwann cell-like cells from human BMSCs. The commitment to the Schwann cell fate was acquired by Schwann cell-like cells in co-culture with rat DRG neurons. Microarray analysis provided evidence that the human BMSC-derived Schwann cells were functionally mature.

Schwann cell-secreted PGE2 promotes sensory neuron excitability during development [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Electrical excitability—the ability to fire and propagate action potentials—is a signature feature of neurons. How neurons become excitable during development and whether excitability is an intrinsic property of neurons or requires signaling from glial cells remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that Schwann cells, the most abundant glia in the peripheral nervous system, promote somatosensory neuron excitability during development. We find that Schwann cells secrete prostaglandin E2, which is necessary and sufficient to induce developing somatosensory neurons to express normal levels of genes required for neuronal function, including voltage gated sodium channels, and to fire action potential trains. In this RNA-Seq study, we discovered that treating cultured DRG neurons with Schwann cell-conditioned media or PGE2 increased the expression of several genes required for neuronal maturation and excitability, including voltage-gated sodium channels.
