Project description:In the central nervous system, oligodendrocytes encase axons with myelin, a highly organized multilayered membrane structure. Myelin allows the rapid propagation of action potentials along the axons, while also supporting their mantainance metabolically. Fatty acids are basic building blocks for both glyco- and phospholipids, key constituents of cell membranes. Moreover, fatty acids can modify proteins via palmitoylation and activate transcriptional networks, e.g. through the PPARs transcription factors. Due to the high demand of membrane oligodendrocytes face to produce myelin, we hypothesized that they strongly rely upon fatty acid synthesis rather than mostly on their intake from the dietary pool. We tested this hypothesis by deleting the enzyme Fatty Acid Synthase specifically from neonatal oligodendrocyte progenitor cells, in vivo in C57Bl/6 olig2Cre FASN floxed mice. We addressed the consequences of this depletion on oligodendrocytes differentation and myelination potential in the central nervous system. In particular, we analyzed by RNA-seq how lack of FASN affected the transcriptome of optic nerves dissected from P14 mutant (olig2Cre FASN lox/lox) versus control (FASN lox/lox) mice.

Project description:In the developing central nervous system, oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) differentiate into oligodendrocytes, which form myelin around axons. Oligodendrocytes and myelin are essential for the function of the central nervous system, as evidenced by the severe neurological symptoms that arise in demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis and leukodystrophy. Although many cell-intrinsic mechanisms that regulate oligodendrocyte development and myelination have been reported, it remains unclear whether interactions among oligodendrocyte-lineage cells (OPCs and oligodendrocytes) affect oligodendrocyte development and myelination. Here, we show that blocking vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP) 1/2/3-dependent exocytosis from oligodendrocyte-lineage cells impairs oligodendrocyte development, myelination, and motor behavior in mice. Adding oligodendrocyte-lineage cell-secreted molecules to secretion-deficient OPC cultures partially restores the morphological maturation of oligodendrocytes. Moreover, we identified L-type prostaglandin D synthase as an oligodendrocyte-lineage cell-secreted protein that promotes oligodendrocyte development and myelination in vivo. These findings reveal a novel autocrine/paracrine loop model for the regulation of oligodendrocyte and myelin development.

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.

Project description:We investigate the role of Brg1 and Olig2 during oligodendrocyte differentiation by combining gene conditional knockout and next generation sequencing technology. We generate genome-wide maps of RNA polymerase II (RPolII), Brg1 (Smarca4), Olig2 and histone modifications in primary rat oligodendrocyte precursor cells (iOLs), differentiating oligodendrocytes and mature oligodendrocytes.We found that Brg1 is intensely regulated by RPolII at the initiation of oligodedrocyte differentiation. The genomic distribution of Brg1 in differentiating oligodendrocytes is pre-directed by Olig2 in iOLs. The dynamic interaction of Brg1 and chromatin is correlate with the distinct stages of gene expression during maturation. Finally, we show that Brg1 and Olig2 localization predict critical genes controling CNS myeliantion. Our study represents the first detailed analysis of genomic landscape during the oligodendrocyte development and provides a framework for further understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying oligodendrocyte lineage progression. Genomic distribution of Brg1, Olig2, RPolII and three different histone modifications in three oligodendrocyte developemtal stages were examined using primary cells by ChIP-sequencing. Spinal cord mRNA profiles of 14-day old control and Brg1c/c;Olig1-Cre mice were generated by RNA-sequencing.

Project description:Oligodendrocytes are responsible for myelin formation and axonal trophic support in the vertebrate CNS. While a number of factors have been discovered that regulate oligodendrocyte lineage progression, the exact molecular mechanisms involved in this process remain unclear. Emerging studies have shown that N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most common internal RNA modification of mammalian mRNA, plays a critical role in various developmental processes. In this study, we demonstrate that oligodendrocyte lineage progression is accompanied by changes in m6A modification on numerous transcripts. In vivo conditional inactivation in oligodendrocyte lineage cells of an essential m6A writer component, METTL14, results in decreased oligodendrocyte numbers and CNS hypomyelination, although oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) numbers are normal. In vitro Mettl14 ablation disrupts post-mitotic oligodendrocyte maturation. In addition, Mettl14 ablation has distinct effects on OPC and oligodendrocyte transcriptomes. Together, our findings indicate that dynamic RNA methylation plays a critical regulatory role in oligodendrocyte development and CNS myelination.
