Project description:we used the active point mutant model RosaM2 to inject tamoxifen at specific postnatal time periods to induce Smo overexpression in brain OPCs. Meanwhile, we used lpc-induced acute demyelination as a pathological model to explore the effect of Smo on OL differentiation under pathological conditions. The cortex and CC of SmoM2-OE (RosaM2; pdgfra-creER) and littermates were then analyzed using rna-sequencing to explore the molecular mechanisms. Our results reveal that activing hedgehog signaling in opcs (1) affects ol proper differentiation and reduces myelination; and (2) alters cholesterol biosynthesis and trafficking in mouse oligodendrocytes. We have refined the regulatory network of oligodendrocyte development and myelination, established the functional link between the Hh signaling pathway, cholesterol homeostasis and myelination, and provided guidance for the application of Hh agonists/antagonists in the treatment of demyelination-related neurodegenerative diseases.

Project description:Rapid nerve conduction in the CNS is facilitated by the insulation of axons with myelin, a specialized oligodendroglial compartment distant from the cell body. Myelin is turned over and adapted throughout life; however, the molecular and cellular basis of myelin dynamics is not well understood. Hypothesizing that only a fraction of all myelin-related mRNAs has been identified so far, we subjected myelin biochemically purified from mouse brains at various ages to RNA sequencing. We find a surprisingly large pool of transcripts abundant and/or enriched in myelin. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis showed that the myelin transcriptome is closely related to the myelin proteome but clearly distinct from the transcriptomes of oligodendrocytes and brain tissues, suggesting that the incorporation of mRNAs into the myelin compartment is highly selective. The mRNA-pool in myelin displays maturation-dependent dynamic changes of composition, abundance, and functional associations; however ageing-dependent changes after 6 months of age were minor. We suggest that this transcript pool provides a basis for the local modulation of myelin turnover and adaptation, i.e. in the individual internode. A light-weight membrane fraction enriched for myelin was purified from mouse brains as described previously (Jahn et al., Neuromethods, 2013). For RNA-Seq, RNA was isolated from myelin of mice from indicated ages.

Project description:Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, inflammatory, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system in which macrophages and microglia play a central role. During active multiple sclerosis foamy macrophages and microglia, containing degenerated myelin, are abundantly found in demyelinated areas. Recent studies have described an altered macrophage phenotype after myelin internalization. However, by which mechanisms myelin affects the phenotype of macrophages and how this phenotype can influence lesion progression is unclear. Here we demonstrate, by using genome wide gene expression analysis, that myelin-phagocytosing macrophages have an enhanced expression of genes in pathways involved in migration, phagocytosis and inflammation. More interestingly, we show that myelin internalization induces the expression of genes involved in liver X receptor signaling and cholesterol efflux. In vitro validation shows that myelin-phagocytosing macrophages indeed have an increased capacity to dispose intracellular cholesterol. Additionally, myelin suppresses the production of pro-inflammatory mediators, like nitric oxide and IL-6, by macrophages in a similar manner as a liver X receptor agonist. Our data show that myelin modulates the phenotype of macrophages by nuclear receptor activation, which may subsequently affect lesion progression in multiple sclerosis. Rat peritoneal macrophages were left untreated (n=5) or treated with isolated myelin (n=5) for 3 days. Both untreated and myelin-treated macrophages were subsequently stimulated with IFNM-RM-/ and IL1-M-NM-2 for 9 hours.

Project description:Formation of myelin by Schwann cells is tightly coupled to peripheral nervous system development and is important for neuronal function and long-term maintenance. Perturbation of myelin causes a number of specific disorders that are among the most prevalent diseases affecting the nervous system. Schwann cells synthesize myelin lipids de novo rather than relying on uptake of circulating lipids, yet one unresolved matter is how Acetyl CoA, a central metabolite in lipid formation is generated during myelin formation and maintenance. Recent studies have shown that glucose-derived Acetyl CoA itself is not required for myelination. Moreover, the importance of mitochondrially-derived Acetyl CoA has never been tested for myelination in vivo. Therefore, we have developed a Schwann cell-specific knockout of the ATP Citrate Lyase (Acly) gene to determine the importance of mitochondrial metabolism to supply Acetyl CoA in nerve development. Intriguingly, the ACLY pathway is important for myelin maintenance rather than myelin formation. In addition, ACLY is required to maintain expression of a myelin-associated gene program and to inhibit activation of the latent Schwann cell injury program.

Project description:Epithelial Hedgehog (Hh) ligands regulate several aspects of fetal intestinal organogenesis and emerging data implicate the Hh pathway in inflammatory signaling in adult colon. We investigated the effects of chronic Hh inhibition in vivo and profiled molecular pathways acutely modulated by Hh signaling in the intestinal mesenchyme.

Project description:We describe the rudolph mouse, a mutant with striking defects in both central nervous system and skeletal development. Rudolph is an allele of the cholesterol biosynthetic enzyme, hydroxysteroid (17-beta) dehydrogenase 7, which is an intriguing finding given the recent implication of oxysterols in mediating intracellular Hedgehog (Hh) signaling. We see an abnormal sterol profile and decreased Hh target gene induction in the rudolph mutant, both in vivo and in vitro. Reduced Hh signaling has been proposed to contribute to the phenotypes of congenital diseases of cholesterol metabolism. Recent in vitro and pharmacological data also indicate a requirement for intracellular cholesterol synthesis for proper regulation of Hh activity via Smoothened. The data presented here are the first in vivo genetic evidence supporting both of these hypotheses, revealing a role for embryonic cholesterol metabolism in both CNS development and normal Hh signaling.

Project description:Myelin is required for the function of neuronal axons in the central nervous system, yet the mechanisms supporting myelin health are unclear. Although central nervous system macrophages have been implicated, it is unknown which macrophage populations are involved and which aspects of myelin health they influence. Here, we show that resident microglia are critical for the maintenance of myelin health in adulthood in both mouse and human. We demonstrate that whereas microglia are dispensable for developmental myelin ensheathment, they are required for subsequent regulation of myelin growth and associated cognitive function, and for the preservation of myelin integrity by preventing its degeneration. We discovered that loss of myelin health in the absence of microglia is underpinned by the appearance of a myelinating oligodendrocyte subpopulation with altered lipid metabolism, regulated by a disruption of the TGFβ1-TGFβR1 axis. Our findings highlight microglia as promising therapeutic targets for conditions where myelin growth and integrity are dysregulated, such as in ageing and neurodegenerative disease.
