IPS-derived early oligodendrocyte progenitor cells from SPMS patients reveal deficient in vitro cell migration stimulation

ABSTRACT: Secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) most challenging aspect is the lack of efficient regenerative response for remyelination, which is carried out by the endogenous population of adult oligoprogenitor cells (OPCs) after proper activation. OPCs must proliferate and migrate to the lesion and then differentiate into mature oligodendrocytes. To investigate the OPC cellular component in SPMS we developed iPSCs from SPMS affected donors and age matched controls (CT). We confirmed their efficient and similar OPC differentiation capacity, although we reported SPMS-OPCs are transcriptional distinguishable from their CT counterparts. Analysis of OPC-generated conditioned media (CM) also evidenced differences in protein secretion. We further confirmed SPMS-OPC CM presents a deficient capacity to stimulate OPC in vitro migration that can be compensated by exogenous addition of specific components. Our results provide an SPMS-OPC cellular model and encouraging venues to study potential cell communication deficiencies in the progressive form of MS for future treatment strategies.

Changes in the oligodendrocyte cell progenitor cell proteome with ageing

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.

Single-cell sequencing of PDGFRα-expressing cells in the adult mouse brain.

Project description:Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) are a mitotically active population of glia that comprise approximately 5% of the adult brain. OPCs maintain their proliferative capacity and ability to differentiate in oligodendrocytes throughout adulthood, but relatively few mature oligodendrocytes are produced following developmental myelination. Recent work has begun to demonstrate that OPCs likely perform multiple functions in both homeostasis and disease, and can significantly impact behavioral phenotypes such as food intake and depressive symptoms. However, the exact mechanisms through which OPCs might influence brain function remains unclear. In this work, we demonstrate that OPCs are transcriptionally diverse and separate into three distinct populations in the homeostatic brain. These three groups show distinct transcriptional signatures and enrichment of biological processes unique to individual OPC populations. We have validated these OPC populations using multiple methods, including multiplex RNA in situ hybridization and RNA flow cytometry. This study provides an important resource that profiles the transcriptome of adult OPCs and will provide a significant foundation for further investigation into novel OPC functions.

TNFR2 signaling regulates the immunomodulatory function of oligodendrocyte precursor cells

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neuroimmune disorder characterized by inflammation, CNS demyelination, and progressive neurodegeneration. Chronic MS patients exhibit impaired remyelination capacity, partly due to the changes that oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) undergo in response to the MS lesion environment. The cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is present in the MS affected CNS and has been implicated in disease pathophysiology. Of the two active forms of TNF, transmembrane (tmTNF) and soluble (solTNF), tmTNF signals via TNFR2 mediating protective and reparative effects, including remyelination, whereas solTNF signals predominantly via TNFR1 promoting neurotoxicity. To better understand the mechanisms underlying repair failure in MS, we investigated the cellular responses of OPCs to inflammatory exposure and the specific role of TNFR2 signaling in their modulation. Following treatment of cultured OPCs with IFNg, IL1b and TNF we observed by RNA sequencing marked inflammatory and immune activation of OPCs, accompanied by metabolic changes and dysregulation of their proliferation and differentiation programming. We also established the high likelihood of cell-cell interaction between OPCs and microglia in neuroinflammatory conditions, with OPCs able to produce chemokines that can recruit and activate microglia. Importantly, we showed that these functions are exacerbated when TNFR2 is ablated. Together, our data indicate that neuroinflammation leads OPCs to shift towards an immunomodulatory phenotype while diminishing their capacity to proliferate and differentiate, thus impairing their repair function. Furthermore, we demonstrated that TNFR2 plays a key role in this process, suggesting that boosting TNFR2 activation or its downstream signals could be an effective strategy to restore OPC reparative capacity in demyelinating disease.

Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cell Transcriptome in White Matter Stroke

Project description:Tissue progenitors maintain the integrity of organ systems through aging and stress. The brain’s white matter regions experience ischemic lesions and age-dependent degeneration. Brain white matter contains progenitors, oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), which can repair some insults. The response of OPCs to white matter ischemia and aging is not known. We characterized the response of OPCs to white matter stroke using OPC reporter mice, cell migration tracking, OPC specific RNA sequencing, and mechanistic studies in candidate biochemical pathways in the aged brain. White matter stroke induces initial proliferation of local OPCs but blocks differentiation, shunting a portion into astrocytes. Candidate signaling pathways for this differentiation block including novel interactions of inhibin and matrilin-2 and new roles of NgR1 ligands following white matter stroke. Stroke induces inhibin expression in astrocytes and downregulates OPC matrilin-2 that contributes into OPC differentiation block. Antagonism of NgR1 ligands promotes OPC differentiation by attenuating the OPC astrocytic transformation and enhances functional recovery from stroke in aged animals.

Primary cilia control Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cell proliferation in white matter injury via Hedgehog-independent CREB signaling.

Project description:Remyelination after white matter injury (WMI) often fails in diseases such as multiple sclerosis due to improper recruitment and repopulation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) in lesions. How OPCs elicit specific intracellular programs in response to a chemically and mechanically diverse environment to properly regenerate myelin remains unclear. OPCs construct primary cilia, specialized signaling compartments that transduce Hh and GPCR signals. We investigated the role of primary cilia in the OPC response to WMI. Removing cilia from OPCs genetically via deletion of Ift88 results in OPCs failing to repopulate WMI lesions due to reduced proliferation. Interestingly, loss of cilia does not affect Hh signaling in OPCs or their responsiveness to Hh signals, but instead leads to dysfunctional cAMP-dependent CREB-mediated transcription. As inhibition of CREB activity in OPCs reduces proliferation, we propose that a GPCR/cAMP/CREB signaling axis initiated at OPC cilia orchestrates OPC proliferation during development and in response to WMI.

Quetiapine induces oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation by cholesterol biosynthesis

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by demyelinated lesions in the central nervous system. Destruction of myelin and secondary damage to axons and neurons leads to significant disability, particularly in people with progressive MS. Accumulating evidence suggests that the potential for myelin repair exists in MS, although for unclear reasons this process fails. The cells responsible for producing myelin, the oligodendrocytes, and their progenitors oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) have been identified at the site of lesions, even in adults. Their presence suggests the possibility that endogenous remyelination without transplantation of donor stem cells may be a strategy for myelin repair in MS. Strategies to develop novel therapies have focused on induction of signaling pathways that stimulate OPCs to mature into myelin-producing oligodendrocytes that could then possibly remyelinate lesions. We have been investigating pharmacological approaches to enhance OPC differentiation, and have identified that the combination of two agents, triiodothyronine (T3) and quetiapine, leads to an additive effect on OPC differentiation and consequent myelin production via both overlapping and distinct signaling pathways. While the ultimate production of myelin requires cholesterol biosynthesis, we identified that quetiapine enhances gene expression in this pathway more potently than T3. Two blockers of cholesterol production, betulin and simvastatin, reduced OPC differentiation into myelin producing oligodendrocytes. Elucidating the nature of agents that lead to complementary and additive effects, possibly even synergistic effects, on oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelin production may pave the way for more efficient induction of remyelination in people with MS.

Endothelin-1-Endothelin B complex contributes to oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelin deficits during preterm white matter injury

Project description:Preterm cerebral white matter injury (WMI), a major form of prenatal brain injury, may potentially be treated by oligodendrocyte (OL) precursor cell (OPC) transplantation. However, the defective differentiation of OPCs during WMI seriously hampers the clinical application of OPC transplantation. Thus, improving the ability of transplanted OPCs to differentiate is critical to OPC transplantation therapy for WMI. Here, we established a hypoxia-ischemia-induced preterm WMI model in mice and screened the molecules affected by WMI using single-cell RNA sequencing. We revealed that endothelin (ET)-1 and endothelin receptor B (ETB) were a pair of signaling molecules for the interaction between neurons and OPCs, and that preterm WMI led to an increase in the number of ETB-positive OPCs and premyelinating OLs. Furthermore, the maturation of OLs was reduced by knocking out ETB, but promoted by stimulating ET-1/ETB signaling. Our work reveals a new signaling module for neuron-OPC interaction and provides new insight for therapy targeting preterm WMI.

Oligodendrocyte precursor differentiation and survival requires chromatin remodeling by Chd7 and Chd8 [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) constitute the main proliferative cells in the adult brain, and deregulation of OPC proliferation-differentiation balance results in either glioma formation or defective adaptive (re)myelination. OPC differentiation requires significant genetic reprogramming implicating chromatin remodeling. Here, we report on uncharacterized functions of the chromatin remodelers Chd7 and Chd8 in OPCs. Their OPC-chromatin-binding profile combined with transcriptome and open-chromatin analysis of Chd7-deleted OPCs, demonstrates that Chd7 controls OPC differentiation through chromatin-opening and transcriptional activation of key regulators such as Sox10, Nkx2.2 and Gpr17. Chd7 is however dispensable for oligodendrocyte stage progression, consistent with Chd8 compensatory function, as suggested by its chromatin binding profile. Furthermore, Chd7 protects non-proliferative OPCs from apoptosis by chromatin-closing and transcriptional repression of p53. Mutations in CHD7 and CHD8 are associated with developmental disorders, such as CHARGE syndrome and autism respectively, and our results offer new avenues to understand and modulate their functions in disease.

Transcriptome analysis of freshly isolated young and aged rat oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs)

Project description:The age-related failure to regenerate lost oligodendrocytes from oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) is associated with irreversible neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis. Consequently, regenerative therapies for chronic demyelinating diseases remain a long sought after but elusive goal. Here we show that adult OPCs lose their inherent differentiation potential with increasing age. Moreover, aged OPCs do not remain responsive to pro-differentiation signals, posing significant constraints on the effectiveness of remyelination therapies based on the enhancement of OPC differentiation. We show that this reduced regenerative capacity is associated with hallmarks of cellular ageing, including reduced metabolic function and increased DNA damage. We find that fasting or treatment with metformin can reverse these changes and restore the regenerative capacity of aged OPCs, improving remyelination in aged animals following white matter injury. Importantly, aged OPCs treated with metformin regain their responsiveness to pro-differentiation factors, suggesting a potential for synergistic effects of rejuvenation and pro-differentiation therapies. Our findings have direct implications for understanding oligodendrocyte regeneration failure with ageing and how it might be reversed therapeutically.
