Project description:Oligodendrocytes are generated from oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). Chd7 is ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling enzyme. We performed microarray analysis to examine changes in gene expression between control and Chd7 knockdown OPCs. Results provide insight into the function of Chd7 in oligodendrocyte development.

Project description:Oligodendrocytes, the myelinating cells of the central nervous system, are essential for correct brain function. They originate from oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) through a differentiation process which is only incompletely understood and impaired in a variety of demyelinating diseases. Better knowledge of this differentiation holds the promise to develop novel therapies for these disorders. We investigated the differentiation of rat oligodendrocyte precursor cells to oligodendrocytes in vitro. After confirmation of differentiation by immunohistochemical analysis using cell type-specific marker proteins, we conducted a quantitative proteomics study using tandem mass tags (TMT). We investigated four time points of differentiation covering early, intermediate, and late stages. Data analysis was perfomed using Mascot and Maxquant.

Project description:Stem cell biology has garnered much attention due to its potential to impact human health through disease modeling and cell replacement therapy. This is especially pertinent to myelin-related disorders such as multiple sclerosis and leukodystrophies where restoration of normal oligodendrocyte function could provide an effective treatment. Progress in myelin repair has been constrained by the difficulty in generating pure populations of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in sufficient quantities. Pluripotent stem cells theoretically provide an unlimited source of OPCs but significant advances are currently hindered by heterogeneous differentiation strategies that lack reproducibility. Here we provide a platform for the directed differentiation of pluripotent mouse epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) through a defined series of developmental transitions into a pure population of highly expandable OPCs in ten days. These OPCs robustly differentiate into myelinating oligodendrocytes both in vitro and in vivo. Our results demonstrate that pluripotent stem cells can provide a pure population of clinically-relevant, myelinogenic oligodendrocytes and offer a tractable platform for defining the molecular regulation of oligodendrocyte development, drug screening, and potential cell-based remyelinating therapies. 6 total samples were analyzed. Pluripotent epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) were differentiated to patterned neural rosettes, oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), and oligodendrocytes. OPCs and oligodedrocytes were analyzed at two separate passages (3 and 11).

Project description:The goal of the experiment is to determine the m6A tagged transcripts after the Mettl14 gene inactivation in OPCs and mature oligodendrocytes using Z score > 0 . Methods: mRNA from total RNA of Mettl14fl/fl OPCs and mature oligodendrocytes was purified with Dynabeads Oligo (dT)25 (ThermoFisher; 61006). The equivalent amount of input and m6A-imunoprecipitated RNA were prepared for library generation using the SMART-seq protocol as described (Picelli et al., 2014). Three biological replicates of control OPCs and three biological replicates of control oligodendrocytes were sequenced using Illumina NextSeq 500. Adapters were trimmed from original reads using Trimmomatic and low-quality reads were removed. The remaining reads were then mapped to the mouse genome (mm10) using STAR aligner (Dobin et al., 2013). To measure the relative m6A level per gene, the ratio of m6A IP/ Input was first calculated. The Z scores were then obtained by comparing the ratios (m6A IP/ Input) to the mean of the group to reflect the relative m6A level per gene on a transcriptome-wide scale. Results: The m6A-seq analyses detected 3554 m6A marked transcripts in OPCs and 2606 m6A marked transcripts in oligodendrocytes.There are 2806 transcripts with the m6A mark in OPCs that were present but not marked in oligodendrocytes , and 1626 transcripts that possessed the m6A mark in oligodendrocytes but not in OPCs . Only 23 of the shared transcripts , showed the m6A mark in both OPCs and oligodendrocytes. Conclusions: The dynamic nature of the m6A mark in oligodendrocyte lineage cells suggests that it may play an important role in oligodendrocyte differentiation and CNS myelination.

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.

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.

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. Mounting evidence indicates that chromatin remodelers play important roles during normal development and their mutations are associated with neurodevelopmental defects, with CHD7 haploinsuficiency being the cause of CHARGE syndrome and CHD8 being one of the strongest Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) high-risk associated genes. Here, we report on uncharacterized functions of the chromatin remodelers Chd7 and Chd8 in OPCs. Their OPC-chromatin-binding profile combined with transcriptome and chromatin accessibility analyses of Chd7-deleted OPCs, demonstrates that Chd7 protects non-proliferative OPCs from apoptosis by chromatin-closing and transcriptional repression of p53. Furthermore, Chd7 controls OPC differentiation through chromatin-opening and transcriptional activation of key regulators, including Sox10, Nkx2.2 and Gpr17. Chd7 is however dispensable for oligodendrocyte stage progression, consistent with Chd8 compensatory function, as suggested by their common chromatin binding profiles and genetic interaction. Finally, CHD7 and CHD8 bind in OPCs to a majority of ASD-risk associated genes, suggesting an implication of oligodendrocyte lineage cells in ASD neurological defects. Our results thus offer new avenues to understand and modulate the CHD7 and CHD8 functions in normal development and disease.
