Identification of genome-wide targets of Olig2 in the adult mouse spinal cord using ChIP-Seq

ABSTRACT: Olig2 is a crucial factor in the specification and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells that give rise to mature, myelin-producing OLs in the developing and postnatal CNS; however, its role in adulthood is less well understood. To investigate the role Olig2 plays in regulating gene expression in the adult oligodendrocyte lineage in a physiologically-relevant context, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by next generation sequencing analysis using whole spinal cord tissue harvested from adult mice. We found that many of the Olig2-bound sites were associated with genes with biological processes corresponding to myelination and ensheathment, as well as cell cycle and cytoskeletal regulation, suggesting Olig2 continues to play a critical role in processes related to OL differentiation and myelination well into adulthood.

Olig2 ablation in immature oligodendrocytes does not enhance CNS myelination and remyelination

Project description:The oligodendrocyte (OL) lineage gene Olig2 persistently expresses throughout oligodendroglial development and required for oligodendroglial specification and differentiation. Here, Together, by leveraging multiple immature OL-expressing Cre lines at different stages, we demonstrate that Olig2 is required for differentiation and myelination of immature OL and myelin repair and raise fundamental questions about the previously proposed role for Olig2 in opposing OL myelination, while highlighting the importance of using Cre-dependent reporter for lineage tracing in studying cell fate transition.

Rapid differentiation of hiPSCs into functional oligodendrocytes using an OLIG2 synthetic modified messenger RNARapid differentiation of hiPSCs into functional oligodendrocytes using an OLIG2 synthetic modified messenger RNA

Project description:We show that a synthetic modified messenger RNA (smRNA)-based reprogramming method that leads to the generation of transgene-free OLs has been developed. An smRNA encoding a modified form of OLIG2, a key TF in OL development, in which the serine 147 phosphorylation site is replaced with alanine, OLIG2S147A, is designed to reprogram hiPSCs into OLs. We demonstrate that repeated administration of the smRNA encoding OLIG2 S147A lead to higher and more stable protein expression. Using the single-mutant OLIG2 smRNA morphogen, we establish a 6-day smRNA transfection protocol, and glial induction lead to rapid NG2+ OL progenitor cell (OPC) generation (> 70% purity) from hiPSC-derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs). The smRNA-induced NG2+ OPCs can mature into functional OLs in vitro and promote remyelination in vivo. Proteomic analysis of OLIG2-binding proteins indicates that OLIG2 is bound by the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) complex. The HSP70 complex is bound more strongly to OLIG2 with the modified phosphorylation site than to wild-type OLIG2.

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.

Age-dependent effects of metformin on human oligodendrocyte lineage cell ensheathment capacity.

Project description:Metformin restores myelination potential of aged rat A2B5+ oligodendroglia (OL) progenitor cells and may enhance recovery in children with post-radiation brain injury. Human late progenitor cells (O4+A2B5+) have superior capacity to ensheath nanofibers compared to mature OLs, with cells from pediatric sources exceeding adults. In this study we assessed effects of metformin on ensheathment capacity of human adult and pediatric progenitors and mature OLs and relate differences to transcriptional changes. A2B5+ progenitors and mature OLs, derived from surgical tissues by immune-magnetic separation, were assessed for ensheathment capacity in nanofiber plates over 2 weeks. Metformin (10µM every other day) was added to selected cultures. RNA was extracted from treated and control cultures after 2 days. For all ages, ensheathment by progenitors exceeded mature OLs. Metformin enhanced ensheathment by adult donor cells but reduced ensheathment by pediatric cells. Metformin marginally increased cell death in pediatric progenitors. Metformin induced changes in gene expression distinct for each cell type. Adult progenitors showed up-regulation of pathways involved in process outgrowth and promoting lipid biosynthesis. Pediatric progenitors showed a relatively greater proportion of down- versus up-regulated pathways, these involved cell morphology, development, and synaptic transmission. Metformin induced AMPK activation in all cell types; AMPK inhibitor BML-275 reduced functional metformin effects only with adult cells. Our results indicate age and differentiation stage related differences of human OL lineage cells in response to metformin. Clinical trials for demyelinating conditions will indicate how these differences translate in vivo.

Transient regulation of focal adhesion via Tensin3 is required for nascent oligodendrocyte differentiation [RNA-seq]

Project description:The differentiation of oligodendroglia from oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) to complex and extensive myelinating oligodendrocytes (OLs) is a multistep process that involves largescale morphological changes with significant strain on the cytoskeleton. While key chromatin and transcriptional regulators of differentiation have been identified, their target genes responsible for the morphological changes occurring during OL myelination are still largely unknown. Here, we show that the regulator of focal adhesion, Tensin3 (Tns3), is a direct target gene of Olig2, Chd7, and Chd8, transcriptional regulators of OL differentiation. Tns3 is transiently upregulated and localized to cell processes of immature OLs, together with integrin-b1, a key mediator of survival at this transient stage. Constitutive Tns3 loss-of-function leads to reduced viability in mouse and humans, with surviving knockout mice still expressing Tns3 in oligodendroglia. Acute deletion of Tns3 in vivo, either in postnatal neural stem cells (NSCs) or in OPCs, leads to a two-fold reduction in OL numbers. We find that the transient upregulation of Tns3 is required to protect differentiating OPCs and immature OLs from cell death by preventing the upregulation of p53, a key regulator of apoptosis. Altogether, our findings reveal a specific time window during which transcriptional upregulation of Tns3 in immature OLs is required for OL differentiation likely by mediating integrin-b1 survival signaling to the actin cytoskeleton as OL undergo the large morphological changes required for their terminal differentiation.

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/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.

Scn2a deletion disrupts oligodendroglia function: Implication for myelination, neural circuitry, and auditory hypersensitivity in ASD.

Project description:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by a complex etiology, with genetic determinants significantly influencing its manifestation. Among these, the Scn2a gene emerges as a pivotal player, crucially involved in oligodendrocyte (OL) function. The present study elucidates the underexplored roles of Scn2a in OL functionality, subsequently affecting myelination and auditory neural processes. The results reveal a nuanced interplay between OLs and axons, where Scn2a deletion causes alterations in OL differentiation and myelination. This disruption, in turn, instigates changes in axonal properties and neuronal activities at the single cell level. Furthermore, OL-specific Scn2a deletion compromises the integrity of neural circuitry within auditory pathways, leading to auditory hypersensitivity—a common sensory abnormality observed in ASD. Through transcriptional profiling, we identified alterations in the expression of myelin-associated genes, highlighting the cellular consequences engendered by Scn2a deletion. In summary, the findings of this study provide unprecedented insights into the pathway from Scn2a deletion in OL to sensory abnormalities in ASD, underscoring the integral role of Scn2a-mediated OL myelination in auditory responses. This research thereby provides novel insights into the intricate tapestry of genetic and cellular interactions inherent in ASD.

Transcription factor-dependent differences in cluster composition and transition states of oligodendrocyte differentiation from human stem cells

Project description:Oligodendrocytes (OLs) are critical for myelination and are implicated in several brain disorders. Directed differentiation of human induced OLs (iOLs) from pluripotent stem cells can be achieved by forced expression of different combinations of the transcription factors SOX10 (S), OLIG2 (O) and NKX6.2 (N). Here, we applied quantitative image analysis and single-cell transcriptomics to compare different transcription factor combinations for their efficacy towards robust OL lineage conversion. Compared with S alone, the combination of SON significantly increases the number of myelin basic protein-positive iOLs and generates iOLs with a more complex morphology and higher expression levels of myelin-marker genes . The analysis of RNA velocity of individual cells reveals that S generates a population of volatile oligodendrocyte-precursor cells (OPCs) that appear to be more immature than those generated by SON and to display distinct molecular properties. Our analysis suggests that protocols for generating iOPCs or iOLs should be chosen depending on the intended application.

Dor regulates alpha-KG metabolic pathways in mature oligodendrocytes to enhance myelination and reverse age-related remyelination decline [RNA-seq II]

Project description:Impairment of oligodendrocyte (OL) myelinogenic potential, rather than inability of oligodendrocyte precursors to differentiate, is implicated in remyelination failure in demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis. However, the mechanisms underlying myelinogenesis and age-related decline in remyelination remain elusive. Here, we identify a mature-OL-active transcriptional regulator Dor as a critical mediator of CNS myelination and remyelination. Genomic occupancy and transcriptomic analyses revealed that Dor interacts with Sox10 and targets the enhancers of myelinogenesis-regulatory genes including a newly identified OL-enriched nuclear factor Prr18 required for OL maturation. Metabolomic profiling showed that Dor is critical for alpha-ketoglutarate (alpha-KG) production and lipid biosynthesis. Supplementation with alpha-KG enhanced lipid biosynthesis and restored OL maturation defects in Dor-mutant mice while reversing the age-associated decline in remyelination efficiency and memory deficits in aging mice. Thus, our findings connect the OL-active Dor regulatory activity to alpha-KG-mediated lipid metabolism in mature OLs to thereby facilitate myelin production and remyelination.
