Project description:This study investigates the impact of Sox10 overexpression on enteric glial cell (EGC) phenotype using a doxycycline-inducible EGC cell line. Sox10 overexpression upregulated genes were associated with myelin regulation and glial differentiation pathways, resembling Schwann cell or oligodendrocyte-specific SOX10 target genes. These findings suggest cell-specific regulation of glial phenotype by SOX10 dosage and identify potential target genes, contributing to our understanding of EGC diversity.

Project description:The transcription factor SRY(sex related protein-Y)-box10 (SOX10) plays a key role in the development of melanocytes and peripheral glial cells from neural crest precursors. Recently, we and other groups found SOX10 to be involved in melanoma initiation, proliferation, invasion, and survival. However, specific mediators which impart the oncogenic role of SOX10 in melanoma remain widely unknown. To identify potential target genes of SOX10, we performed RNA sequencing to analyze genome-wide expression alterations after ectopic expression of SOX10. Among nine genes differentially regulated by SOX10, only peripheral myelin protein 2 (PMP2) was found upregulated in several other melanoma cell lines. PMP2 is one of the most abundant myelin proteins in glial cells and is necessary for the formation and maintenance of the myelin sheath. We detected PMP2 expression in a subset of human melanoma cell lines while it was absent in human melanocytes and fibroblasts. Direct binding of SOX10 to the PMP2 promoter was shown by chromatin immunoprecipitation and electrophoretic shift assay. In three-dimensional spheroid assays, we found that PMP2 overexpression increased melanoma cell invasion. In conclusion, we identified PMP2 as target gene of SOX10 and propose a novel role for PMP2 in melanoma cell invasion.

Project description:Enteric glia are the predominant cell type in the enteric nervous system yet their identities and roles in gastrointestinal function are not well classified. Using an optimized single nucleus RNA-sequencing method, we identified distinct molecular classes of enteric glia and defined their morphological and spatial diversity. Our findings revealed a functionally specialized class of enteric glial cells that we call “hub cells.” Hub cells retain dual functionality: they generate neurons and glia and act as force transducers to regulate intestinal physiology. Deletion of the mechanosensory ion channel PIEZO2 from adult enteric glial hub cells, but not other subtypes of enteric glia, led to defects in intestinal motility and gastric emptying in mice. These results provide insight into the multifaceted functions of different enteric glial cell subtypes in gut health and emphasize that therapies targeting enteric glia could advance the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.

Project description:Enteric glial cells are important players in the control of motility, intestinal barrier integrity and inflammation. During inflammation, they switch into a reactive phenotype enabling them to release inflammatory mediators, thereby shaping the inflammatory environment. While a plethora of well-established in vivo models exist, cell culture models necessary to decipher the mechanistic pathways of enteric glial reactivity are less well standardized. In particular, the composition of extracellular matrices (ECM) can massively affect the experimental outcome. Considering the growing number of studies involving primary enteric glial cells, a better understanding of their homeostatic and inflammatory in vitro culture conditions is needed. We examined the impact of different ECMs on enteric glial culture homeostasis and immune responsiveness. We used 3’ bulk mRNA sequencing to compare cultured cells with in vivo enteric glial transcriptomes isolated from Sox10iCreERT2Rpl22HA/+ mice. Transcriptional analysis revealed strong similarities between enteric glia on Matrigel and laminin with enrichment of gene sets supporting neuronal differentiation, while cells on poly-L-ornithine showed enrichment related to cell proliferation. Comparing cultured and in vivo enteric glial transcriptomes revealed a 50% overlap. IL-1β treatment showed distinct coating-dependent gene expression signatures, with an enrichment of genes related to myeloid and epithelial cell differentiation on Matrigel and laminin coatings, while poly-L-ornithine induced more gene sets related to lymphocyte differentiation. Together, changes in differentiation and immune activation of primary enteric glial cells proved a strong effect of the ECM. We identified Matrigel and laminin as pre-eminent substrates for murine enteric glial cultures. These new insights will help to standardize and improve enteric glial culture quality and reproducibility between studies in the future, allowing a better comparison of their functional role in enteric neuroinflammation.

These data highlight multiple important molecular mechanisms that are altered in response to this perturbation, and offer a resource to probe the basis of the stem/progenitor and EMT-like functions that are mediated by Sox10 in mammary cells.

Project description:This study investigates the phenomenon of postnatal plasticity within the enteric nervous system (ENS), specifically investigating the reinnervation potential of post-mitotic enteric neurons. Employing BAF53b-Cre for selective tracing, the reinnervation capabilities of postnatal enteric neurons in multiple model systems are shown. Denervated enteric neurons exhibit the ability to regenerate neurites in vitro, with neurite complexity and direction notably influenced by contact with enteric glial cells (EGCs). In vivo nerve fibers from transplanted enteric neurons exclusively interface with EGCs. Resident EGCs are sustained after Cre dependent ablation of enteric neurons and govern the architecture of the ENS by reinnervating enteric neurons. Transplantation experiments underscore the swift reintegration and reinnervation potential of post-mitotic neurons, leading to restored muscle function within two weeks. Optogenetic investigations further delineate time-dependent functional recovery via transplantation of isolated enteric ganglia. These revelations demonstrate the structural and functional reinnervation capacity of post-mitotic enteric neurons, underscored by EGC guidance.
