Mapping the glial transcriptome in Huntington’s disease using snRNAseq: Selective disruption of glial signatures across brain regions

Project description:Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease with a fatal outcome. There is accumulating evidence of a prominent role of glia in the pathology of HD, and we investigated this by conducting single nuclear RNA sequencing (snRNAseq) of human post mortem brain in four differentially affected regions; caudate nucleus, frontal cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum. Across 127,205 nuclei from donors with HD and age/sex matched controls, wefound heterogeneity of glia which is altered in HD. We describe prominent changes in the abundance of certain subtypes of astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocyte precursor cells and oligodendrocytes between HD and control samples, and these differences are widespread across brain regions. Furthermore, we highlight possible mechanisms that characterise the glial contribution to HD pathology including depletion of myelinating oligodendrocytes, an oligodendrocyte-specific upregulation of the calmodulin-dependent 3’,5’-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 1A (PDE1A) and an upregulation of molecular chaperones as a cross-glial signature and a potential adaptive response to the accumulation of mutant huntingtin (mHTT). Our results support the hypothesis that glia have an important role in the pathology of HD, and show that all types of glia are affected in the disease.

hESC-based human glial chimeric mice reveal glial differentiation defects in Huntington disease

Project description:Huntington’s disease (HD) is characterized by hypomyelination as well as by neuronal loss. To assess the basis for white matter involution in HD, we generated bipotential glial progenitor cells (GPCs) from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), derived from either huntingtin (mHTT)-mutant embryos or normal controls, and performed RNA sequence analysis to assess mHTT-dependent changes in gene expression. In hGPCs derived from 3 distinct mHTT-expressing hESC lines, a set of transcription factors associated with glial differentiation and myelin synthesis was sharply down-regulated, relative to normal hESC GPCs. In particular, NKX2.2, OLIG2, SOX10 and MYRF were all suppressed, with the consequent diminution of myelinogenesis-associated transcription. Accordingly, when mHTT-expressing hGPCs were transplanted into hypomyelinated shiverer mice, the resultant mHTT glial chimeras were hypomyelinated. The mHTT hGPCs also manifested impaired astrocytic differentiation, and developed abnormal fiber domain architecture. These data suggest that white matter involution in HD is a product of a cell-autonomous mHTT-dependent suppression of both astrocytic and oligodendrocytic differentiation by affected GPCs.

snRNAseq of human limbus tissue

Project description:LSCs have been clinically approved as a cell therapy to treat limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), however, there has yet to be a consensus on LSC markers that allow the isolation of LSCs, and their transcriptome profile is not fully understood. In this study, we addressed this problem by using single nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNAseq) on healthy human limbal tissue excised from cataract patients.

Glia detect and transiently protect against dendrite substructure disruption

Project description:Glia assess axon structure to modulate myelination and axon repair. Whether glia similarly detect dendrites and their substructures is not well understood. Here, we show that glia monitor the integrity of dendrite substructures and transiently protect their perturbation. We demonstrate that disruption of C. elegans sensory neuron dendrite cilia elicits acute glial responses, including increased accumulation of glia-derived extracellular matrix around cilia, changes in gene expression, and alteration of secreted protein repertoire. DGS-1, a 7-transmembrane domain neuronal protein, and FIG-1, a multifunctional thrombospondin-domain glial protein, are required for glial detection of cilia integrity, physically interact, and exhibit mutually-dependent localization to and around cilia, respectively. Glial responses to dendrite cilia disruption transiently protect against damage. Thus, our studies uncover a homeostatic, protective, dendrite glia signaling interaction regulating dendrite substructure integrity.

Drosophila CNS glial microarray

Project description:Gliogenesis in the Drosophila CNS occurs during embryogenesis and also during the postembryonic larval stages. Several glial subtypes are generated in the postembryonic CNS through the proliferation of differentiated glial cells. The genes and molecular pathways that regulate glial proliferation in the postembryonic CNS are poorly understood. In this study we aimed to use gene expressing profiling of CNS tissue enriched in glia to identify genes expressed in glial cells in the postembryonic CNS. We used microarrays to compare the gene expression profiles from the larval CNS of animals that had increased numbers of glial cells to identify genes that are expressed in glia. RNA was purified from the late third instar larval CNS from control larvae, or larvae expressing an activated form of the FGF receptor (Hlt[ACT]), or overexpressing the insulin receptor (InR) in glial cells using the glial specific driver repoGal4 to increase the number of glial cells and generate CNS tissue enriched in glia.
