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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

Phenotypic Correction of Oligodendrocytes by Concurrent Direct Reprogramming and Gene Replacement of Fibroblasts

Project description:Transcription factor-mediated direct reprogramming technologies that can convert one differentiated somatic cell to another, without an intermediate pluripotent stem cell stage, provide a new mechanism to access somatic cell types for disease modeling and possible therapeutic application. Previous efforts have focused on wild-type cells harboring transgenic reporters to signal successful reprogramming events. Outstanding questions remain of whether cells from disease backgrounds without transgenic reporters are capable of direct reprogramming and whether they phenocopy disease pathology. Here we demonstrate that fibroblasts from the shiverer mouse model of myelin disease can be directly reprogrammed to induced oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (iOPCs) by the expression of Sox10, Olig2, and Nkx6.2 without the aid of transgenic selection reporters. Shiverer mice harbor a homozygous ~20-kilobase deletion in the Myelin Basic Protein (Mbp) gene and this substantial deletion leads to abnormal oligodendrocytes resulting in hypomyelination and decreased lifespan. Shiverer iOPCs efficiently differentiated to induced oligodendrocytes (iOLs) which recapitulated the known disease phenotype of impaired axonal ensheathment and myelination capacity. Combining direct reprogramming and genetic supplementation of a minigene carrying regulatory elements and an open reading frame of MBP, restored MBP expression in differentiated iOLs and their ability to track along and ensheath microfibers in an in vitro assay of myelination capacity. Collectively these results show that iOPCs provide a rapid and accessible system to accurately model myelin disease pathology and provide promise for future therapeutic advancement for genetic myelin disorders.

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

Project description: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.

Project description:Myelin destruction and oligodendrocyte (OL) death consequent to metabolic stress is a feature of CNS disorders across the age spectrum. Using cells derived from surgically resected tissue, we demonstrate that young (<age 5) pediatric-aged sample OLs are more resistant to in-vitro metabolic injury than fetal O4+ progenitor cells, but more susceptible to cell death and apoptosis than adult-derived OLs. Pediatric but not adult OLs show measurable levels of TUNEL+ cells, a feature of the fetal cell response. The ratio of anti- versus pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family genes are increased in adult versus pediatric (<age 5) mature OLs and in more mature OL lineage cells. Lysosomal gene expression was increased in adult and pediatric compared to fetal OL lineage cells. Cell death of OLs was increased by inhibiting pro-apoptotic BCL-2 gene and autophagy activity. These distinct age-related injury responses should be considered in designing therapies aimed at reducing myelin injury.

Interactome of P21 Activated Kinase 1 (PAK1) in oligodendrocytes

Project description:In the central nervous system (CNS), myelin formation by oligodendrocytes (OLs) relies on actin dynamics. Actin polymerization supports the ensheathment step, when the OL process contacts and surrounds a selected portion of axon. While a drastic shift to actin depolymerization is then required to enable the wrapping process and the formation of a multilayered myelin sheath. Molecular mechanisms regulating this switch to actin depolymerization are not fully elucidated. P21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1), a downstream effector of Rho GTPases Rac1 and Cdc42, highly expressed in OLs, can regulate actin dynamics through its kinase activity. We found that PAK1 loss-of-function in OLs, in vivo, stimulates the wrapping and the thickening of myelin sheaths. We showed that PAK1 is highly expressed in myelinating OLs, yet in its inactive form, the one with the ability to trigger actin disassembly. Interestingly, we found that modulations of PAK1 kinase activity control actin dynamics in OLs, thereby myelin formation. Our data demonstrate that PAK1 inactivation in OLs is required for actin depolymerization and proper myelin formation, suggesting the presence of an endogenous PAK1 inhibitor in myelinating OLs. Proteomic analysis of PAK1 binding partners enabled us to identify several proteins likely to regulate its activity.

Gsta4 restricts apoptosis in differentiating adult oligodendrocytes via Fas/Casp8/Bid-axis during homeostasis and remyelination

Project description:Arrest of oligodendrocyte (OL) differentiation and remyelination following myelin damage in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) are associated with disease progression but the underlying mechanism are elusive. We show that Glutathione S-transferase 4α (Gsta4) is highly expressed during adult OL differentiation and that its loss prevents differentiation into myelinating OLs. Also, Gsta4 appeared to be a novel target for Clemastine, in clinical trial for MS. Over-expression of Gsta4 reduced the expression of Fas and activity along the mitochondria-associated Casp8/Bid-axis in adult pre-OLs from the corpus callosum, together promoting enhanced pre-OL survival during differentiation. The Gsta4-mediated input on apoptosis during adult OL differentiation was further verified in the LPC and EAE model, where Casp8 were reduced in pre-OLs with high Gsta4 expression in an immune response-independent fashion. Our results place Gsta4 as a key regulator of intrinsic mechanisms beneficial for OL differentiation and remyelination, and as a possible target for future MS therapies.

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.
