Multipotent Schwann cell precursors generate steroid-producing cells of the adrenal cortex and chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla

ABSTRACT: Multipotent stem cells are considered as promising biological tools for regenerative medicine, and transcriptome analysis of these cells is fundamental for identifying new factors controlling proliferation versus differentiation. To obtain a comprehensive characterization of adrenal progenitors, we have developed an analytical pipeline relying on flow cytometric sorting of living cells followed by RNA sequencing. This analysis showed that two distinct populations of Nestin-positive progenitors are located in the adrenal cortex and medulla, respectively. Though 1039 genes were differentially regulated, both populations showed Schwann cell precursor properties suggesting both populations to be neural crest-derived.

SEROTONIN LIMITS GENERATION OF CHROMAFFIN CELLS DURING ADRENAL ORGAN DEVELOPMENT

Project description:Adrenal gland is the major organ releasing catecholamines and regulating our stress response. The mechanisms balancing adrenal hormone-producing cells and protecting against neuroblastoma or other tumors are still enigmatic. Here we revealed that adrenergic chromaffin cells release serotonin (5HT), which acts upon their immediate progenitor “bridge” cells via 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 3A (HTR3A). Consistently, the aggressive HTR3Ahigh human neuroblastoma cell lines reduce proliferation in response to HTR3A-specific agonists, suggesting the mechanism of anti-tumor protection. Physiological increase of 5HT in vivo caused prolongation of a cell cycle length in “bridge” progenitors leading to smaller chromaffin population and changing the balance of hormones and behavioral patterns in resulting adult rodents. These behavioral effects and smaller adrenals were mirrored in a progeny of pregnant females subjected to experimental stress, suggesting novel maternal-fetal link controlling developmental adaptations. Finally, these findings corresponded to a size-distribution of adrenals found in wild rodents with different coping strategies.

SOX2+ sustentacular cells are stem cells in the postnatal adrenal medulla

Project description:Renewal of the catecholamine-secreting chromaffin cell population of the adrenal medulla is necessary for physiological homeostasis throughout life. Definitive evidence for the presence or absence of an adrenomedullary stem cell has been enigmatic. In this work, we show that a subpopulation of uncommitted sustentacular cells, previously thought to be support cells, are in fact adrenomedullary stem cells. These postnatal cells express the transcription factor SOX2, and give rise to chromaffin cells of both the adrenaline and noradrenaline lineages in vivo and in vitro. We present comprehensive transcriptomic data of the mouse adrenal medulla as well as of purified SOX2+ adrenomedullary stem cell populations. Through genetic tracing, we show that postnatal stem cells specialise from embryonic Schwann Cell Precursors and identify this population in the normal adult human adrenal medulla.

Neuropilins guide preganglionic sympathetic axons and chromaffin cell precursors to establish the adrenal medulla.

Project description:The adrenal medulla is composed of neuroendocrine chromaffin cells that secrete adrenaline into the systemic circulation to maintain physiological homeostasis and enable the autonomic stress response. How chromaffin cell precursors colonise the adrenal medulla and how they become connected to central nervous system-derived preganglionic sympathetic neurons remain largely unknown. By combining lineage tracing, gene expression studies, genetic ablation and the analysis of mouse mutants, we demonstrate that preganglionic axons direct chromaffin cell precursors into the adrenal primordia. We further show that preganglionic axons and chromaffin cell precursors require class 3 semaphorin (SEMA3) signalling through neuropilins (NRP) to target the adrenal medulla. Thus, SEMA3 proteins serve as guidance cues to control formation of the adrenal neuroendocrine system by establishing appropriate connections between preganglionic neurons and adrenal chromaffin cells that regulate the autonomic stress response.

Differential gene expression in adrenal medulla after cardiac pressure overload

Project description:Transcriptom analysis of microdissect adrenal medulla after 8 weeks of cardiac pressure overload caused by transverse aortic constriction. Comparative transcriptome analysis was determined using the GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Six microarrays from microdissected adrenal medulla of mice were performed 8 weeks after transverse aortic constriction or sham operation.

Serotonin limits generation of chromaffin cells during adrenal organ development

Project description:Adrenal glands are the major organs releasing catecholamines and regulating our stress response. The mechanisms balancing generation of adrenergic chromaffin cells and protecting against neuroblastoma tumors are still enigmatic. Here we revealed that serotonin (5HT) controls the numbers of chromaffin cells by acting upon their immediate progenitor “bridge” cells via 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 3A (HTR3A), and the aggressive HTR3Ahigh human neuroblastoma cell lines reduce proliferation in response to HTR3A-specific agonists. In embryos (in vivo), the physiological increase of 5HT caused a prolongation of the cell cycle in “bridge” progenitors leading to a smaller chromaffin population and changing the balance of hormones and behavioral patterns in adulthood. These behavioral effects and smaller adrenals were mirrored in the progeny of pregnant female mice subjected to experimental stress, suggesting a novel maternal-fetal link that controls developmental adaptations. Finally, these results corresponded to a size-distribution of adrenals found in wild rodents with different coping strategies.

RNA-seq transcriptomic analysis of mouse sympathetic neuroblasts and adrenal chromaffin cells

Project description:Adrenal chromaffin cells and sympathetic neuron are derived from neural crest precursors and both cell types can give rise to childhood cancer, neuroblastoma. However only limited is known about the mechanism of their development. Better understanding of their transcriptomic profiles during development could gives an insight into the cell fates acquisition as well as the origin of neuroblastoma. Yellow fluorescent protein expressing sympathetic neuroblasts and adrenal chromaffin cells were isolated from E12.5 TH-IRES-Cre;ROSA26-EYFP mouse embryos by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Transcriptomic profiles of sympathetic neuroblasts and adrenal chromaffin cells from embryonic age (E)12.5 TH-IRES-Cre;ROSA26-EYFP mice were generated by RNA sequencing, in four paired biological replicates.

Expression profile of mouse carotid body and adrenal medulla [Affymetrix]

Project description:The carotid body is a chemoreceptor that senses decreases in blood oxygen to increase breathing in hypoxia. To look for candidate oxygen sensors in the carotid body, we compared the gene expression of the carotid body to the adrenal medulla, a similar tissue that does not have oxygen sensitivity in adults. For each sample, we pooled 18 carotid bodies or 10 adrenal medullas from 10 adult mice. Group numbers designate the same cohort of animals.
