Phosphorylation state of ZFP24 controls oligodendrocyte differentiation

ABSTRACT: The zinc finger protein ZFP24 is critical for CNS myelination. Nonetheless, the mechanism by which ZFP24 controls myelination is unknown. Here we use chromatin IP (ChIP) to map ZFP24 binding sites in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC) and differentiated oligodendrocytes (OLG). We find that ZFP24 directly binds the enhancer regions of genes important for oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination and mediates their expression. We demonstrate that ZFP24 undergoes phosphorylation and dephosphorylation in oligodendrocyte lineage cells and that ZFP24 binding to DNA is controlled by its phosphorylated state such that only the non-phosphorylated form of the protein, predominantly found in mature oligodendrocytes, mediates expression of myelin protein genes. We have also identified key ZFP24 downstream target genes. Among these, we show that enforced expression of the crucial myelin transcription factor MYRF can rescue myelin proteins gene expression in ZFP24 -ablated cells. Our data also suggest that ZFP24 display overlapping genomic binding sites with the transcription factors MYRF, SOX10, and OLIG2 which are known to control terminal differentiation of oligodendrocytes. Though the human genome contains roughly 700 C2H2-containing zinc finger proteins, the DNA-binding sequences and the biological functions of the vast majority of them are unknown. Our findings provide a direct molecular mechanism by which dephosphorylation of ZFP24 mediates its binding to enhancer regions of genes important for oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination, controls their expression, and as a result, regulates oligodendrocyte differentiation and CNS myelination.

Genome-wide mapping of Olig2 targets in primary oligodendrocytes

Project description:Myelination by oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS) is essential for proper brain function, yet the molecular determinants that control this process remain poorly understood. The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors Olig1 and Olig2 promote myelination, whereas bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and Wnt/?-catenin signaling inhibit myelination. Here we show that these opposing regulators of myelination are functionally linked by the Olig1/2 common target Smad-interacting protein-1 (Sip1). We demonstrate that Sip1 is an essential modulator of CNS myelination. Sip1 represses differentiation inhibitory signals by antagonizing BMP receptor-activated Smad activity while activating crucial oligodendrocyte-promoting factors. Importantly, a key Sip1-activated target, Smad7, is required for oligodendrocyte differentiation and partially rescues differentiation defects caused by Sip1 loss. Smad7 promotes myelination by blocking the BMP- and ?-catenin-negative regulatory pathways. Thus, our findings reveal that Sip1-mediated antagonism of inhibitory signaling is critical for promoting CNS myelination and point to new mediators for myelin repair. ChIP-seq was performed to identify Olig2 direct target genes in oligodendrocytes during oligodendrocyte differentiation.

Identification of Myelin-gene Regulatory Factor as a Critical Transcriptional Regulator Required for CNS Myelination

Project description:The transcriptional control of CNS myelin gene expression is poorly understood. Here we identify gene model 98, which we have named Myelin-gene Regulatory Factor (MRF), as a transcriptional regulator required for CNS myelination. Within the CNS, MRF is specifically expressed by postmitotic oligodendrocytes. MRF is a nuclear protein containing an evolutionarily conserved DNA binding domain homologous to a yeast transcription factor. Knockdown of MRF in oligodendrocytes by RNA interference prevents expression of most CNS myelin genes; conversely, overexpression of MRF within cultured oligodendrocyte progenitors or the chick spinal cord promotes expression of myelin genes. In mice lacking MRF within the oligodendrocyte lineage, pre-myelinating oligodendrocytes are generated but display severe deficits in myelin gene expression and fail to myelinate. These mice display severe neurological abnormalities, and die due to seizures during the third postnatal week. These findings establish MRF as a critical transcriptional regulator essential for oligodendrocyte maturation and CNS myelination. We used microarrays to compare cultured oligodendrocytes (differentiated in vitro for 4 days) from MRF conditional knockouts and control litteramates to look at the effects of MRF deficiency on myelin gene expression. Mouse OPCs grown in vitro in the presence of PDGF serve as a baseline for gene expression prior to differentiation.

PARP1-mediated PARylation activity is essential for oligodendroglial differentiation and CNS myelination

Project description:The function of poly(ADP-ribosyl) polymerase 1 (PARP1) in myelination and remyelination of the central nervous system (CNS) remains enigmatic. Here we report that PARP1 is an intrinsic driver for oligodendroglial development and myelination. Genetic PARP1 depletion impairs the differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) into oligodendrocytes and impedes CNS myelination. Mechanistically, PARP1-mediated PARylation activity is not only necessary but also sufficient for OPC differentiation. At the molecular level, we identify the RNA-binding protein Myef2 as a PARylated target which controls OPC differentiation through PARylation-modulated de-repression of myelin protein expression. Furthermore, PARP1’s enzymatic activity is necessary for oligodendrocyte and myelin regeneration after demyelination. Together, our findings suggest that PARP1-mediated PARylation activity may be a potential therapeutic target for promoting OPC differentiation and remyelination in neurological disorders characterized by arrested OPC differentiation and remyelination failure such as multiple sclerosis.

Induction of Myelinating Oligodendrocytes in Human Cortical Spheroids

Project description:Organoid technologies provide an accessible system in which to examine the generation, self-organization,and 3-dimensional cellular interactions during development of the human cerebral cortex. However, oligodendrocytes, the myelinating glia of the central nervous system and third major neural cell type, are conspicuously absent from current protocols. Here we reproducibly generate human oligodendrocytes and myelin in pluripotent stem cell-derived cortical spheroids. Transcriptional and immunohistochemical analysis of the spheroids demonstrates molecular features consistent with maturing human oligodendrocytes within 14 weeks of culture, including expression of MyRF, PLP1, and MBP proteins. Histological analysis by electron microscopy shows initial wrapping of human neuronal axons with myelin by 20 weeks and maturation to compact myelin by 30 weeks in culture. Treatment of spheroids with previously identified promyelinating drugs enhances the rate and extent of human oligodendrocyte generation and myelination. Furthermore, generation of spheroids from patients with a severe genetic myelin disorder, Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease, demonstrates the ability to recapitulate human disease phenotypes, which were in turn improved with both pharmacologic and CRISPR-based approaches. Collectively, these 3-dimensional, multi-lineage cortical spheroids provide a versatile platform to observe and perturb the complex cellular interactions that occur during developmental myelination of the brain and offer new opportunities for disease modeling and therapeutic development in human tissue.

Expression data from Sip1 cKO and control mice spinal cord

Project description:Myelination by oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS) is essential for proper brain function, yet the molecular determinants that control this process remain poorly understood. The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors Olig1 and Olig2 promote myelination, whereas bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and Wnt/β-catenin signaling inhibit myelination. Here we show that these opposing regulators of myelination are functionally linked by the Olig1/2 common target Smad-interacting protein-1 (Sip1). We demonstrate that Sip1 is an essential modulator of CNS myelination. Sip1 represses differentiation inhibitory signals by antagonizing BMP receptor-activated Smad activity while activating crucial oligodendrocyte-promoting factors. Importantly, a key Sip1-activated target, Smad7, is required for oligodendrocyte differentiation and partially rescues differentiation defects caused by Sip1 loss. Smad7 promotes myelination by blocking the BMP- and β-catenin-negative regulatory pathways. Thus, our findings reveal that Sip1-mediated antagonism of inhibitory signaling is critical for promoting CNS myelination and point to new mediators for myelin repair. We carried out microarray profiling analysis in the Sip1 conditional KO (cKO) mouse spinal cord to detail the change of global gene expression. Sip1 c/c;Olig1-Cre mouse spinal cord was collected at P14 for RNA extraction and Affymetrix microarray analysis. Sip1 c/+;Olig1-Cre littermate spinal cord was used as the control.

SRF transcriptionally regulates the oligodendrocyte cytoskeleton during CNS myelination (snRNA-Seq)

Project description:Myelination of neuronal axons is essential for nervous system development. Myelination requires dramatic cytoskeletal dynamics in oligodendrocytes, but how actin is regulated during myelination is poorly understood. We recently identified serum response factor (SRF)—a transcription factor known to regulate expression of actin and actin regulators in other cell types—as a critical driver of myelination in the aged brain. Yet, a major gap remains in understanding the fundamental role of SRF in oligodendrocyte lineage cells. Here we show that SRF is required cell autonomously in oligodendrocytes for myelination during development. Combining ChIP-seq with RNA-seq identifies SRF-target genes in OPCs and oligodendrocytes that include actin and other key cytoskeletal genes. Accordingly, SRF knockout oligodendrocytes exhibit dramatically reduced actin filament levels early in differentiation, consistent with its role in actin-dependent myelin sheath initiation. Together, our findings identify SRF as a transcriptional regulator that controls the expression of cytoskeletal genes required in oligodendrocytes for myelination. This study identifies a novel pathway regulating oligodendrocyte biology with high relevance to brain development, aging, and disease.

ChIP-sequencing of STAT3 in Zdhhc5 knockout oligodendrocytes

Project description:Myelin sheath is an important structure to maintain normal functions of the nerves in central nervous system. Protein palmitoylation has been established as a sorting determinant for the transport of myelin-forming proteins to the myelin membrane. However, its function in the regulation of oligodendrocyte development remains unknown. Here, we show that an Asp-His-His-Cys (DHHC) motif-containing palmitoyl acyltransferases, DHHC5, is involved in the control of oligodendrocyte development. Loss of Zdhhc5 in oligodendrocytes inhibits myelination and remyelination by a reduction on total myelinating oligodendrocyte population. STAT3 is the primary substrate for DHHC5 palmitoylation in oligodendrocytes. Zdhhc5 ablation reduces STAT3 palmitoylation, and then suppresses STAT3 phosphorylation and activation. As a result of the decreased STAT3 transactivity, the transcription of the myelin-related and anti-apoptosis genes is therefore inhibited, leading to suppressed oligodendrocyte development and myelination. Our findings demonstrate the key role DHHC5 in the control of myelinogenesis.
