Project description:In multiple sclerosis (MS) and experimental models of demyelination, myelin repair is mostly achieved by oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). To gain insight into the biological specificity of these adult precursors, in the perspective to better understand why remyelination often fails in MS, we performed a micro-array analysis on purified populations of murine OPCs and oligodendrocytes. We demonstrated that, in a control environment, M-bM-^@M-^\quiescentM-bM-^@M-^] adult OPCs are more mature than neonatal OPCs, with a mRNA profile closer to oligodendrocytes. However, when demyelination occurs, adult OPCs revert to an immature gene expression profile, acquiring higher migration and faster differentiation capacities. Among the many genes differentially regulated by these M-bM-^@M-^\activatedM-bM-^@M-^] adult OPCs, genes of the innate immune response, IL1M-NM-2 and CCL2 were strongly upregulated after demyelination, with increased protein expression in experimental demyelinating lesions and within MS plaques. We first showed in vitro that both IL1M-NM-2 and CCL2 M-bM-^@M-^\accountM-bM-^@M-^] for increased migration capacities of adult OPCs, an effect that is suppressed by corresponding receptor blockade. Focusing on Ccl2, we then demonstrated that lentiviral over-expression of Ccl2 increases motility of M-bM-^@M-^\quiescentM-bM-^@M-^] adult OPCs, which become as mobile as M-bM-^@M-^\activatedM-bM-^@M-^] adult OPCs. This in vitro gain of function was further confirmed in vivo, by showing an increased migration of grafted CG4 oligodendroglial cells over-expressing-Ccl2. These results, demonstrating that M-bM-^@M-^\activatedM-bM-^@M-^] adult OPCs upregulate immune cues favouring their migration, open new perspective of demyelination-induced immune-glial interactions, which might influence both oligodendroglial and inflammatory cells, therefore play a key role in lesion fate in multiple sclerosis. In this study, we loaded purified population of progenitors of oligodendrocytes (OPCs) (from neonatal, 2-month-old, 2-month-old and cuprizone-treated brains) and of mature oligodendrocytes (OLs) (2-month-old brains) and compared their gene expression. We compared gene expression of neonatal OPCs, adult OPCs, adult OLs and adult OPCs from control conditions and from demyelinating conditions, using 3 to 4 independant replicates in each group.

Project description:Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) regulate neuronal, glial and vascular systems in diverse ways and display phenotypic heterogeneity beyond their well-known role as a reservoir for mature oligodendrocytes. Here we demonstrated that perivascular OPCs in cerebral cortex were increased coupling with post-stroke angiogenesis in a mouse model of stroke induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). RNA-seq analysis revealed that primary cultured OPCs notably increased the gene expressions of numerous pro-angiogenic factors, while decreased those related to OPC maturation after oxygen glucose deprivation. The data showed that cerebral ischemia shifts the phenotype of OPCs to perivascular subtypes which can promote angiogenesis.

Project description:Oligodendrocytes are generated from oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). Chd7 is ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling enzyme. We performed microarray analysis to examine changes in gene expression between control and Chd7 knockdown OPCs. Results provide insight into the function of Chd7 in oligodendrocyte development.

Project description:Following CNS demyelination, adult oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) can differentiate into new myelin-forming oligodendrocytes in a regenerative process called remyelination. While remyelination is very efficient in young adults, its efficiency declines progressively with ageing. Here we performed proteomic analysis on OPCs isolated acutely from the brains of neonate, young and aged female rats. Approximately 60% of the proteins are expressed at different levels in OPCs from neonates compared to their adult counterparts. The amount of myelin-associated and cell adhesion proteins are increased with age, while cholesterol-biosynthesis, transcription factors and cell cycle proteins decreased. Our experiments provide the first ageing OPC rodent proteome, revealing the distinct features of neonatal and adult OPCs, and providing new insights into why remyelination efficiency declines with ageing and potential roles for aged OPCs in other neurodegenerative diseases.

Project description:Oligodendrocytes, the myelinating cells of the central nervous system, are essential for correct brain function. They originate from oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) through a differentiation process which is only incompletely understood and impaired in a variety of demyelinating diseases. Better knowledge of this differentiation holds the promise to develop novel therapies for these disorders. We investigated the differentiation of rat oligodendrocyte precursor cells to oligodendrocytes in vitro. After confirmation of differentiation by immunohistochemical analysis using cell type-specific marker proteins, we conducted a quantitative proteomics study using tandem mass tags (TMT). We investigated four time points of differentiation covering early, intermediate, and late stages. Data analysis was perfomed using Mascot and Maxquant.

Project description:Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) are highly dynamic, abundant glial cells of the central nervous system (CNS) that are responsible for generating myelinating oligodendrocytes during development. OPCs are also mobilized to form new myelin sheaths in the adult CNS in response to environmental and behavioral changes, and play a crucial role in regenerating myelin following demyelination (remyelination). However, the rates of OPC proliferation and differentiation decline dramatically with aging, impairing homeostasis, remyelination, and potentially adaptive myelination during learning. To determine how aging influences OPCs, we generated a novel transgenic mouse line that expresses EGFP under the endogenous promoter/enhancer of Matrilin-4 (Matn4-mEGFP), allowing OPCs to be purified apart from perivascular and mural cells. OPCs isolated from the cerebral cortex of Matn4-mEGFP mice were subjected to single-cell RNA sequencing, providing enhanced resolution of transcriptional changes during key transitions from quiescence to proliferation and differentiation. Comparative analysis of OPCs isolated from mice aged 30 to 720 days, revealed that aging induces distinct inflammatory transcriptomic changes in OPCs in different states, including enhanced activation of HIF-1α and Wnt pathways. Inhibition of these pathways in acutely isolated OPCs from aged mice promoted their differentiation, suggesting that this enhanced signaling may contribute to the decreased regenerative potential of OPCs with aging. This Matn4-mEGFP mouse line and single-cell mRNA datasets of cortical OPCs across ages serve as a valuable reference to help define the molecular changes guiding their behavior in various physiological and pathological contexts.

Project description:Stem cell biology has garnered much attention due to its potential to impact human health through disease modeling and cell replacement therapy. This is especially pertinent to myelin-related disorders such as multiple sclerosis and leukodystrophies where restoration of normal oligodendrocyte function could provide an effective treatment. Progress in myelin repair has been constrained by the difficulty in generating pure populations of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in sufficient quantities. Pluripotent stem cells theoretically provide an unlimited source of OPCs but significant advances are currently hindered by heterogeneous differentiation strategies that lack reproducibility. Here we provide a platform for the directed differentiation of pluripotent mouse epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) through a defined series of developmental transitions into a pure population of highly expandable OPCs in ten days. These OPCs robustly differentiate into myelinating oligodendrocytes both in vitro and in vivo. Our results demonstrate that pluripotent stem cells can provide a pure population of clinically-relevant, myelinogenic oligodendrocytes and offer a tractable platform for defining the molecular regulation of oligodendrocyte development, drug screening, and potential cell-based remyelinating therapies. 6 total samples were analyzed. Pluripotent epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) were differentiated to patterned neural rosettes, oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), and oligodendrocytes. OPCs and oligodedrocytes were analyzed at two separate passages (3 and 11).
