Project description:We used microarrays to detail the transcriptome-wide gene expression changes underlying chemical conversion of human fibroblasts into induced Schwann Cells over a time period of 39 days. We compared then the expression profiles of these induced Schwann Cells to primary Schwann cells. The gene expression results analyzed in this study are further described in Thoma et al. (2014) Chemical conversion of human fibroblasts into functional Schwann cells. Under submission

Project description:Recent reports of directed reprogramming have raised questions about the stability of cell lineages. Here, we have addressed this issue, focusing upon skin-derived precursors (SKPs), a dermally-derived precursor cell. We show by lineage tracing that murine SKPs from dorsal skin originate from mesenchymal and not neural crest-derived cells. These mesenchymally-derived SKPs can, without genetic manipulation, generate functional Schwann cells, a neural crest cell type, and are highly similar at the transcriptional level to Schwann cells isolated from the peripheral nerve. This is not a mouse-specific phenomenon, since human SKPs that are highly similar at the transcriptome level can be made from facial (neural crest-derived) and foreskin (mesodermally-derived) dermis, and the mesodermally-derived SKPs can make myelinating Schwann cells. Thus, non-neural crest-derived mesenchymal precursors can differentiate into bona fide peripheral glia in the absence of genetic manipulation, suggesting that developmentally-defined lineage boundaries are more flexible than widely thought. We obtained 3 independent samples of nerve Schwann cells, SKP-derived Schwann cells, and Dorsal Trunk SKPs, each, from adult SD rats. Primary cells were isolated and cultured, and RNA was collected from those cultured samples. RNA samples deriving from these cells were analyzed on the Affymetrix Rat Gene 1.0 ST Array.

Project description:RNA sequencing of sorted mouse Schwann cells expressing YFP due to P0Cre-mediated recombination. The plotting of side scatter versus eYFP fluorescence generates 2 semi-detached eYFP+ clouds of cells, which further enables the enriched selection of myelinating Schwann cells, and of not-myelinating Schwann cells.

We obtained 4 independent samples of neonatal human foreskin and 4 independent samples of discarded facial skin tissue from children less than two years old. Primary cells were isolated and cultured as SKPs and RNA was collected from those cultured samples. RNA samples deriving from these cells were analyzed on the Affymetrix Human Gene 2.0 ST Array.

Project description:The important contribution of glia to mechanisms of injury and repair of the nervous system is increasingly recognized. In stark contrast to the central nervous system (CNS), the peripheral nervous system (PNS) has a remarkable capacity for regeneration after injury. Schwann cells are recognized as key contributors to PNS regeneration but the molecular underpinnings of the Schwann cell response to injury remain incompletely understood. To gain insight into the acute SC injury response, we provide an RNAseq database of Schwann cells purified acutely from the naïve and injured rodent sciatic nerve at 3, 5, and 7 days post injury. Bioinformatic analysis provides validation of cell purity and dataset integrity as well as identification of discrete modules of genes that follow distinct patterns of regulation in the first days after injury and their corresponding molecular pathways. Our dataset provides a helpful resource for further deciphering the SC injury response and provides a depth of transcriptional data that can complement the findings of recent single cell sequencing approaches. In addition, as more data becomes available on the response of CNS glia to injury, we anticipate that this dataset will provide a valuable platform for understanding key differences in the PNS and CNS glial responses to injury and for designing approaches to ameliorate CNS regeneration.

Project description:Serotonergic (5HT) neurons exert diverse and widespread functions in the brain. Dysfunction of the serotonergic system gives rise to a variety of mental illnesses including depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, autism and eating disorders. Here we show that human primary fibroblasts were directly converted to induced serotonergic (i5HT) neurons by the expression of Ascl1, Foxa2, Lmx1b and FEV. The transdifferentiation was enhanced by p53 knockdown and appropriate culture conditions including hypoxia. The i5HT neurons expressed markers for mature serotonergic neurons, had Ca(2+)-dependent 5HT release and selective 5HT uptake, exhibited spontaneous action potentials and spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents. Application of serotonin significantly increased the firing rate of spontaneous action potentials, demonstrating the functional utility of i5HT neurons for studying serotonergic neurotransmission. The availability of human i5HT neurons will be very useful for research and drug discovery on many serotonin-related mental disorders.
