Retinoid X Receptor activation reverses the age-related deficiency in myelin debris phagocytosis and enhances remyelination

ABSTRACT: The efficiency of central nervous system (CNS) remyelination declines with age. This is in part due to an age-associated decline in the phagocytic removal of myelin debris, which contains inhibitors of oligodendrocyte progenitor cell differentiation. In this study we show that expression of genes involved in the retinoid X receptor (RXR) pathway are decreased with aging in myelin-phagocytosing cells. Loss of RXR function in young macrophages mimics aging by delaying remyelination after experimentally-induced demyelination, while RXR agonists partially restore myelin debris phagocytosis in aged macrophages. The FDA-approved RXR agonist bexarotene, when used in concentrations achievable in human subjects, caused a reversion of the gene expression profile in aging human monocytes to a more youthful profile. These results reveal the RXR pathway as a positive regulator of myelin debris clearance and a key player in the age-related decline in remyelination that may be targeted by available or newly-developed therapeutics.

Dor regulates alpha-KG metabolic pathways in mature oligodendrocytes to enhance myelination and reverse age-related remyelination decline [RNA-seq II]

Project description:Impairment of oligodendrocyte (OL) myelinogenic potential, rather than inability of oligodendrocyte precursors to differentiate, is implicated in remyelination failure in demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis. However, the mechanisms underlying myelinogenesis and age-related decline in remyelination remain elusive. Here, we identify a mature-OL-active transcriptional regulator Dor as a critical mediator of CNS myelination and remyelination. Genomic occupancy and transcriptomic analyses revealed that Dor interacts with Sox10 and targets the enhancers of myelinogenesis-regulatory genes including a newly identified OL-enriched nuclear factor Prr18 required for OL maturation. Metabolomic profiling showed that Dor is critical for alpha-ketoglutarate (alpha-KG) production and lipid biosynthesis. Supplementation with alpha-KG enhanced lipid biosynthesis and restored OL maturation defects in Dor-mutant mice while reversing the age-associated decline in remyelination efficiency and memory deficits in aging mice. Thus, our findings connect the OL-active Dor regulatory activity to alpha-KG-mediated lipid metabolism in mature OLs to thereby facilitate myelin production and remyelination.

Retinoid X receptor gamma signaling accelerates CNS remyelination

Project description:The molecular basis of CNS myelin regeneration (remyelination) is poorly understood. Here we generate a comprehensive transcriptional profile of the separate stages of spontaneous remyelination following focal demyelination in the rat CNS. White matter tracts in the rat caudal cerebellar peduncles were focally demyelinated using 0.1% ethidium bromide, the lesions were isolated using laser capture microdissection at 5, 14 and 28 days postlesion, followed by RNA extraction and Illumina beadarray analysis of differentially expressed transcripts. We found transcripts encoding retinoid acid receptor RXR-gamma is highly differentially expressed during remyelination, and that oligodendrocyte lineage cells express RXR-gamma in rat tissues undergoing remyelination and in active and remyelinated MS lesions. RXR-gamma knockdown by RNA interference or RXR-specific antagonists severely inhibit oligodendrocyte differentiation in culture. In RXR-gamma deficient mice, adult oligodendrocyte precursor cells efficiently repopulate lesions following demyelination, but display delayed differentiation into mature oligodendrocytes. Administration of the RXR agonist 9-cis-retinoic acid to demyelinated cerebellar slice cultures and to aged rats following demyelination results in more remyelinated axons. RXR-gamma is therefore a positive regulator of endogenous oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation and remyelination, and may be a pharmacological target for CNS regenerative therapy. 9 Samples analysed, 3 different time points each with 3 biological replicates.

Gene expression in spinal cord microglia during demyelination and remyelination following neuroattenuated JHMV infection

Project description:Microglia are considered both pathogenic and protective during recovery from demyelination, but their precise role remains ill-defined. Here, using an inhibitor of colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R), PLX5622, and mice infected with a neurotropic coronavirus (mouse hepatitis virus, strain JHMV), we show that depletion of microglia after clearance of virus infection resulted in impaired myelin repair and prolonged clinical disease. Microglia were required only during the early stages of remyelination. Notably, large deposits of extracellular vesiculated myelin and cellular debris were detected in the spinal cords of PLX5622-treated and not control mice, which correlated with decreased numbers of oligodendrocytes in demyelinating lesions in drug-treated mice. Further, gene expression analyses demonstrated differential expression of genes involved in myelin debris clearance, lipid and cholesterol recycling, and promotion of oligodendrocyte function. The results also demonstrate that microglial function could not be compensated by infiltrating macrophages. Together, these results demonstrate key roles for microglia in debris clearance and the initiation of remyelination following infection with a neurotropic coronavirus but are not necessary during later stages of remyelination.

Delaying aging and enhancing repair of the aged CNS myelin by β-NMN requires SIRT2

Project description:Myelin aging is a driving force of CNS aging, and age-dependent declined efficiency of remyelination caused by impaired differentiation capacity of aged oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) is a major cause of demyelinated diseases. Revealing how differentiation capacity of aged OPC is affected metabolically holds the key to find new way to rejuvenate the aged OPC. Here we screened out that NAD+ is one of the top metabolites impaired in premature aging OPC. Supplementing β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (β-NMN), an immediate NAD+ precursor, delays CNS myelin aging, promotes differentiation of aged OPC, and therapeutically and preventively rejuvenates remyelination in the aged CNS both ultra-structurally and functionally. To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the enhancing remyelination by NAD+ supplementation, using LC-MS we investigated the changes of proteome differentially regulated by NAD+ or DMSO in cultured OPC from P0 rat brain.

Pro-inflammatory activity following demyelinating injury is required for phagocytic function and oligodendrocyte formation

Project description:Remyelination can occur naturally in demyelinating lesions, but often fails in human demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). The function of the innate immune system is essential for the regenerative response, but how exactly microglia and macrophages clear myelin debris after injury and tailor a specific regenerative response is unclear. Here, we asked whether pro-inflammatory microglial/macrophage activation is required for this process. We established a novel toxin-based spinal cord model of de- and remyelination in zebrafish and showed that pro-inflammatory nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) dependent activation occurs in phagocytes rapidly after myelin injury. We found that the pro-inflammatory response depends on myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88), the canonical adaptor for inflammatory signaling pathways downstream of toll-like receptors (TLRs). MyD88-deficient mice and zebrafish were impaired not only in the degradation of myelin debris, but also in initiating the generation of new oligodendrocytes for myelin repair. We identified reduced generation of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in lesions of MyD88-deficient animals, a pro-inflammatory molecule that was able to induce the generation of new oligodendrocytes. Our study shows that pro-inflammatory phagocytic signaling is an evolutionary conserved mechanism necessary for degrading myelin debris, essential for inflammation resolution, and for initiating the secretion of pro-inflammatory myelin repair molecules.
