Expression data from human-derived oligodendrocytes, astrocytes and fibroblasts

ABSTRACT: Oligodendrocytes have recently been implicated in the pathophysiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Here we differentiated fibroblasts into induced neural progenitors and subsequently into oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. To confirm that the cells obtained with this protocol express the gene signature of oligodendrocytes, we performed a small gene expression study limited to four iOligodendrocyte lines from two controls (nos. 155 and 170) and two patients (nos. 12 and 17), four iAstrocyte lines from the same samples, and four fibroblast lines from one of our previously published studies

miR-155 plays a crucial role in ALS and is an immune therapeutic target [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a paralytic degenerative disease of the nervous system. In the SOD1 mouse model of ALS we found loss of the molecular and functional microglia signature associated with pronounced expression of miR-155 in SOD1 mice. We also found increased expression of miR-155 in the spinal cord of ALS subjects. Genetic ablation of miR-155 increased survival in SOD1 mice and reversed the abnormal microglial and monocyte molecular signature. In addition, dysregulated proteins in the spinal cord of SOD1 mice that we identified in human ALS spinal cords and CSF were restored in SOD1G93A/miR155-/- mice. Treatment of SOD1 mice with anti-miR-155 SOD1 mice injected systemically or into the cerebrospinal fluid prolonged survival and restored the microglial unique genetic and microRNA profiles. Our findings provide a new avenue for immune based therapy of ALS by targeting miR-155. Total RNA was isolated from whole lumbar spinal cord homogenate from healthy control donors without known neurologic diseases and sporadic and familial ALS.

Proximity of oligodendrocytes remodels astrocytes' transcriptome

Project description:We and other groups doumented that astrocytes modulate migration, maturation and myelin sythesis of oligodendrocytes through release of neurotransmitters, cytokins and other signaling molecules. However, much less is known about on how the oligodendrocytes affects the astrocytes. We compared the transcriptome of cortical astrocytes when cultured alone and co-cultured with non-touching immortalized precursor oligodendrocytes (Oli-neu) in insert systems. Experimental data indicate that the oligodendrocyte-conditioning medium has a substantial effect on the the gene expression in astrocytes. Moreover, oligodendendrocyte proximity remodels major astrocyte functional pathways.
