The molecular profile and ability to promote axon regeneration after peripheral nerve injury by Repair Schwann cells is distinctly different from that for developing Schwann cells

ABSTRACT: Since Schwann cells (SCs) support axonal growth at development as well as after peripheral nerve injury (PNI), developing SCs might be able to promote axon regeneration after PNI. The purpose of the current study was to elucidate the capability of developing SCs to induce axon regeneration after PNI. SC precursors (SCPs), immature SCs (ISCs), repair SCs (RSCs) from injured nerves, and non-RSCs from intact nerves were tested by grafting into acellular region of rat sciatic nerve with crush injury. Both of developing SCs completely failed to support axon regeneration, whereas both of mature SCs, especially RSCs, induced axon regeneration. Further, RSCs but not SCPs promoted neurite outgrowth of adult dorsal root ganglion neurons. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the gene expression profiles were distinctly different between RSCs and SCPs. These findings indicate that developing SCs are markedly different from mature SCs in terms of functional and molecular aspects and that RSC is a viable candidate for regenerative cell therapy for PNI.

Scalable generation of Schwann cell precursors from human pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Schwann cells (SCs) are an absolute prerequisite for development of effective treatment of myelin disorders and nerve injuries. However, human sources of functional, myelinating SCs are extremely limited. Here, we have developed a novel, efficient strategy for producing directly an unlimited supply of functional human SCs via successful derivation of expandable Schwann cell precursors (SCPs) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) (hPSC-SCPs). Functional and molecular characteristics of SCs from hPSC-SCPs (hPSC-SCP-SCs) appeared to be similar to those of authentic Schwann cells. As a novel therapeutic target, transplanted hPSC-SCP-SCs effectively promoted axonal regeneration through directly myelinating regenerated-axons in sciatic nerve injured mice. Here, we present hPSC-SCPs and hPSC-SCP-SCs as an outstanding resource to use for investigating human Schwann cell pathology and biology and for translational approaches to PNS and CNS repair and regeneration.

Netrin-1 engineered endothelial cell exosomes induce the formation of pre-regenerative niche to accelerate peripheral nerve repair

Project description:The formation of vascular niche is pivotal during the early stage of peripheral nerve regeneration. This antecedent angiogenesis meets the nutrient requirements for subsequent rapid axon regeneration and remyelination. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of vascular niche in the regulation of peripheral nerve remain unclear. The axon guidance molecule Netrin-1 (NTN1) is widely expressed in peripheral nerves and particularly was found up-regulated in sciatic nerve stump after peripheral nerve injury (PNI). Herein, we demonstrated that NTN1-high endothelial cells (NTN1+ECs) were the critical component of vascular niche, fostering angiogenesis, axon regeneration and repair-related phenotypes. And we also found that NTN1+ECs derived exosomes (NTN1 EC-EXO) were involved in the formation of vascular niche as a critical role. Multi-omics analysis further verified that NTN1 EC-EXO carried a low-level expression of let7a-5p and activated key pathways associated with niche formation including focal adhesion, axon guidance, PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and mTOR signaling pathway. Taken together, our findings suggested the potential construction of a pre-regenerative niche induced by NTN1 EC-EXO, thereby establishing a conductive microenvironment for nerve repair and facilitating the functional recovery after PNI in the early injury phase.

Proteomics and transcriptomics of peripheral nerve tissue and cells unravel new aspects of the human Schwann cell repair phenotype

Project description:The remarkable feature of Schwann cells (SCs) to transform into a repair phenotype turned the spotlight on this powerful cell type. SCs provide the regenerative environment for axonal re-growth after peripheral nerve injury (PNI) and play a vital role in differentiation of neuroblastic tumors into a benign subtype of neuroblastoma, a tumor originating from neural crest-derived neuroblasts. Hence, understanding their mode-of-action is of utmost interest for new approaches in regenerative medicine, but also for neuroblastoma therapy. However, literature on human SCs is scarce and it is unknown to which extent human SC cultures reflect the SC repair phenotype developing after PNI in patients. We performed high-resolution proteome profiling and RNA-sequencing on highly enriched human SC and fibroblast cultures, control and ex vivo degenerated nerve explants to identify novel molecules and functional processes active in repair SCs. In fact, we found cultured SCs and degenerated nerves to share a similar repair SC-associated expression signature, including the upregulation of JUN, as well as two prominent functions, i.e., myelin debris clearance and antigen presentation via MHCII. In addition to myelin degradation, cultured SCs were capable of actively taking up cell-extrinsic components in functional phagocytosis and co-cultivation assays. Moreover, in cultured SCs and degenerated nerve tissue MHCII was upregulated at the cellular level along with high expression of chemoattractants and co-inhibitory rather than -stimulatory molecules. These results demonstrate human SC cultures to execute an inherent program of nerve repair and support two novel repair SC functions, debris clearance via phagocytosis-related mechanisms and type II immune-regulation.

Schwann cell plasticity regulates neuroblastic tumor cell differentiation

Project description:The remarkable plasticity of Schwann cells (SCs) is essential for nerve regeneration but also contributes to neuropathies and cancer progression. It has not yet been investigated whether the adaptive potential of SCs is manifested in stromal, tumor associated SCs characteristically found within a benign subtype of neuroblastic tumors (NBTs). We here performed transcriptome profiling of human NBTs, rich and poor in SC stroma, as well as human injured nerves, rich in repair SCs, revealing that stromal SCs exhibit a repair SC characteristic gene expression signature. In turn, primary repair SCs had a pro-differentiating and anti-proliferative effect on NBT cell lines after direct and trans-well co-culture. Within the pool of secreted stromal/repair SC factors, we identified EGFL8, a matricellular protein with so far undescribed function, to induce neuronal differentiation of aggressive NBT cells. EGFL8 expression further correlated with favorable tumor stage and increased patient survival. Our findings suggest that stromal SCs exert nerve repair associated functions in the tumor-environment and underline the therapeutic value of SC-derived factors for aggressive, SC stroma-poor NBTs.

Nerve-derived Schwann cell precursors, acting in a paracrine fashion, are essential for mammalian digit tip regeneration [RAT]

Project description:Multi-tissue regenerative capacity is lost in adult mammals with the exception of the distal digit, which regenerates via largely-uncharacterized mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate that following adult mouse distal digit removal, nerve-associated Schwann cell precursors (N-SCPs) dedifferentiate and secrete growth factors that promote expansion of the blastema and digit regeneration. Specifically, when N-SCPs were dysregulated or ablated, mesenchymal precursor proliferation in the blastema was decreased, nail and bone regeneration were impaired, and regeneration could be rescued by transplantation of exogenous N-SCPs. We show that N-SCPs secreted factors that promoted self-renewal of mesenchymal precursors, and we used transcriptomic and proteomic analysis to define candidate factors. Two of these, oncostatin M (OSM) and PDGF-AA, were made by N-SCPs in the regenerating digit, and rescued the deficits in regeneration caused by loss of N-SCPs due to denervation. Since nerves innervate every peripheral tissue, these results have broad implications for mammalian tissue repair and regeneration.
