Project description:Two mouse lines, OE/+ and OE/OE were generated expressing graded elevation (6 fold and 28 fold, respectively) of c-Jun protein selectively in Schwann cells. The effects of this on global gene expression and cellular structure in uninjured nerves was analysed during development and in the adult. Changes in gene expression and cellular arrangements were mild but detectable in c-Jun OE/+ mice, while nerves in c-Jun OE/OE mice showed obvious de-myelination and gene expression changes, including up- and down-regulation of genes previously shown to be controlled by c-Jun in Schwann cells.

Project description:The striking PNS regenerative response to injury rests on the plasticity of adult Schwann cells and their ability to transit between differentiation states, a highly unusual feature in mammals. Using mice with inactivation of Schwann cell c-Jun, we show that the injury response involves c-Jun dependent natural reprograming of differentiated cells to generate a distinct Schwann cell state specialized to promote regeneration. Transected distal stumps of c-Jun mutants show 172 disregulated genes, resulting in abnormal expression of growth factors, adhesion molecules and cytoskeletal changes that lead to neuronal death, inhibition of axon growth and striking failures of functional repair after injury. These observations provide a molecular basis for understanding Schwann cell plasticity and nerve regeneration. They offer conclusive support for the notion that Schwann cells control repair in the PNS, using dedicated transcriptional controls to generate a distinct repair cell, a transition that shows similarities to transdifferentiation seen in other systems. Total RNA was purified from a 10mm segment of the distal stump and uninjured contralateral nerve from c-Jun mutants and control mice 7 days after nerve cut. For each condition (injured/uninjured) and genotype (control/ knock-out) 2 independent samples (replicates) were generated from pooled nerves of 4/6 mice resulting in a total of 8 samples: CTRL.cut.R1, CTRL.cut.R2, CTRL.uncut.R1, CTRL.uncut.R2, KO.cut.R1, KO.cut.R2, KO.uncut.R1,KO.uncut.R2.

Project description:We report the transcriptome analysis of HEI-286 human Schwann cells and MiaPaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells Nerves stimulate cancer progression for different cancer types, promoting both tumor growth and perineural invasion, a prominent process in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Yet little is known about how cells in the nerves contribute to cancer progression. Here we demonstrate that Schwann cells, the most abundant cell type in nerves, collectively function as tumor activated Schwann cell tracks (TASTs). Schwann cells in a 3D matrix organize into stellate tracks which serve as a conduit for cancer cell migration. TASTs actively promote pancreatic cancer dissemination during perineural invasion and neoneurogenesis. This key function of TASTs is induced by cancer cells triggering c-Jun activation of Schwann cells, analogous to the reprogramming that promotes nerve repair. In TASTs, dynamic Schwann cell processes wrap around and apply forces directly on cancer cells to enhance cancer motility. We define a model of cancer progression that relies upon collective Schwann cell behavior driven by c-Jun transcriptional reprogramming.

Project description:Schwann cell (Büngner) repair cells play a critical role in orchestrating nerve repair after injury, but the reprogramming process that generates them is poorly understood. We present the first combined whole genome coding and non-coding RNA and CpG methylation study after nerve injury. We show that genes involved in epithelial to mesenchymal transition are enriched in repair cells and we identify long non-coding RNAs in Schwann cells. We demonstrate that the AP-1 transcription factor c-Jun regulates the expression of certain micro RNAs in repair cells, in particular miR-21 and miR-34. Surprisingly, changes in CpG methylation are limited in injury, unlike development, and restricted to specific locations, such as enhancer regions of novel Schwann cell specific genes, such as Nedd4l, and near to local enrichment of AP-1 motifs. These epigenetic changes significantly broaden our understanding of Schwann cell reprogramming in peripheral nervous system tissue repair. To identify epigenetic regulators underlying successful nerve regeneration we generated RNA-Seq, small-RNA-Seq and whole genome bisulfite sequencing libraries for uninjured nerve versus three and/or seven day post nerve transection sciatic nerves of adult C57BL/6J mice crush.

Project description:Schwann cell maturation is tightly controlled by a set of transcriptional regulators. We have deleted the zinc-finger transcription factor Sip1 specifically from immature Schwann cells and observed a dramatic developmental delay. In an attempt to define the developmental stage of Sip1-deficient Schwann cells, we performed microarray analysis of Schwann cell-specific mutants compared to controls at the age of 25 days (P25). Sciatic nerves of 3 mutant mice and 3 corresponding controls were isolated at the age of 25 days.

Project description:After nerve injury, myelin and Remak Schwann cells reprogram to repair cells specialized for regeneration. Normally providing strong regenerative support, these cells fail in aging animals, and during the chronic denervation that results from slow axon growth. This impairs axonal regeneration and causes a significant clinical problem. We find that aging and chronically denervated repair cells express reduced c-Jun protein and the regenerative support provided by these cells is also reduced. In both cases, genetically restoring Schwann cell c-Jun levels restores regeneration to that in controls. We identify potential gene candidates mediating this effect and implicate Shh in the control of Schwann cell c-Jun levels. These experiments reveal that a common mechanism, reduced c-Jun in repair cells, underlies two major reasons for regeneration failure in the PNS. They underscore the central importance of Schwann cell c-Jun as a regulator of nerve repair, and point to molecular pathways that can be manipulated for improving the clinical outcome of nerve injuries.

Project description:In this study, we analyzed the transcriptome profiles of mouse sciatic nerves subjected to crush injuries after inducible deletion of Raptor conditionally in Schwann cells (using a PLPCreERT2-driven recombination of floxed alleles) as compared to controls (floxed Raptor homozygous, PLPCreERT2-negative). The transcriptome profiles of the contralateral uninjured nerves were also analyzed. Differentially expressed genes, defined as genes with a fold change>1.2 and fold discovery rate <0.05, in injured and contralateral nerves of mutants compared to controls were subjected to gene ontology analysis. Additionally, differentially expressed genes in injured mutants nerves as compared to injured control nerves were further analyzed for enrichment of transcription factor binding motifs in the corresponding promoter regions using the bioinformatic tool Homer version 4.9 (Heinz et al., Molecular Cell, 2010)

Project description:To determine target genes, biological functions of Jun and mechanisms of gene regulation by Jun in regenerating neurons, gene expression profiling was carried out of axotomized and uninjured facial motor neurons in floxed c-Jun mice crossed with nestin-cre mice.
