Nucleoporin Seh1 Maintain Schwann Cell Homeostasis by Regulating Genome Stability and Necroptosis

ABSTRACT: Schwann cells play critical roles in peripheral neuropathies, however, the regulatory mechanisms of their homeostasis remain largely unknown. Here we show that nucleoporin Seh1, a component of nuclear pore complex, is important for Schwann cell homeostasis and loss of Seh1 led to necroptosis of non-myelinating Schwann cell and degeneration of sensory neurons. While myelinogenesis, myelinating Schwann cell, and wrapped large fibers were not affected, mice with depletion of Seh1 in Schwann cell lineage developed progressive reduction of non-myelinating Schwann cells in sciatic nerves, followed by the degeneration of unmyelinated small sensory fibers and malfunction of the sensory system. Mechanistically, Seh1 safeguards genome stability by mediating the interaction between SETDB1 and KAP1. The disrupted interaction after ablation of Seh1 derepresses endogenous retroviruses, which triggers ZBP1-dependent necroptosis in non-myelinating Schwann cells. Collectively, our results reveal that Seh1 is required for homeostasis of Schwann cells and suggest that decrease of nucleoporins as aging may participate in the pathogenesis of periphery neuropathies.

Project description:Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathies (HMSN) are the most common inherited peripheral neuropathies and comprise a group of genetically heterogeneous diseases. We study the genetic defects causing three demyelinating disorders: HMSN1A, HMSN-LOM and congenital cateracts facial dysmophism neuropathy (CCFDN) syndrome, which are caused by mutations in PMP22, NDRG1 and CTDP1, respectively. The function and patho-mechanisms of these genes is still unknown. To identify effects downstream of the mutations, thereby possibly involved in the disease process, we used Serial expression of gene expression (SAGE) and microarray analysis. We analyzed human Schwann cell lines from three normal subjects, one HMSN-LOM patient, two HMSN-1A patients and two CCFDN patients and compared our data to a recent dataset of human Schwann cells (4 normal subjects passage 1 vs. 3, GDS1869/GSE4030 M.B. Bunge, 2006). We excluded genes that were not consistently regulated between biological and technical replicates and genes that were found to be influenced by passage number (p<0.05). Comparing expression profiles of demyelinating neuropathies with different mutations we identified: 1. expression signatures specific for each genotype. 2. Genes commonly (dys)regulated in all screened neuropathies. Interestingly, these include genes that play a role in reorganization of sodium channels in central and peripheral nerves (S100A10, CD90), or extracellular matrix remodeling (e.g. TGFBI, SERPINE1, THBS1). We also found high up-regulation of genes involved in Schwann cell lineage and in particular, genes that are associated with an immature or pre-myelinating Schwann cell phenotype (i.e. Sox2, Sox10, COL18A1, TFAP2A, Pax3, CDH19). Our study shows that many genes, possibly contributing to nerve pathology can be identified by this approach. Experiment Overall Design: Experimental design: in total 12 (two-color) arrays were run. All neuropathy samples were in duplicate (technical replicates). Two CCFDN and two HMSN1A patients were also analyzed as biological replicates. Three healthy subjects were included from which one was in duplicate. All samples (Cy3) were compared to a common reference pool (Cy5) which consisted of a mix of all samples.
