Project description:During peripheral nerve (PN) development, unmyelinated axons (nmAs) initially form tight fascicles before being separated and enveloped by non-myelinating Schwann cells (nmSCs), which are essential for maintaining nmA integrity. The mechanism underlying this transition from axon-axon to axon-glia interactions remains unclear. Here, we found that inactivating nmSC-derived SEMA3B or its axonal receptor components in mice led to incomplete nmA separation and envelopment by nmSCs, leading to nmA dysfunction and inducing hyperalgesia and allodynia. Conversely, increasing SEMA3B levels in nmSCs accelerated nmA separation and envelopment. SEMA3B transiently promoted nmA defasciculation accompanied by cell adhesion molecule (CAM) endocytosis, thus facilitating subsequent CAM-mediated nmA-mSC association. Restoring SEMA3B expression post-PN injury promoted nmA-nmSC re-association and alleviated hyperalgesia and allodynia. We propose that SEMA3B-induced CAM turnover facilitates the switch from axon-axon to axon-glia interactions, promoting nmA envelopment by nmSCs, which may be exploited to alleviate PN injury-induced pain by accelerating the restoration of nmA integrity.

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.

Project description:Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) are critical regulators involved in diverse biological processes. However, the roles and related mechanisms of lincRNAs in axon development are largely unknown. To seek the axon-enriched lincRNAs in DRG neurons, we performed high-throughput RNA-seq of cultured rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons at P0 to profile lincRNAs. Profiling of highly expressed lincRNAs in RNA-seq and their enrichment in the axon of DRG neurons. We report a previously unappreciated axon-enriched lincRNA regulating axon elongation, thus referred to as ALAE. ALAE functionally associates with KHSRP for preventing KHSRP binding on Gap43 mRNA, thereby maintaining GAP43 synthesis and facilitating axon elongation.

Project description:We show that N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant internal modification in mRNA/lncRNA with still poorly characterized function, alters RNA structure to facilitate the access of RBM for heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (hnRNP C). We term this mechanism m6A-switch. Through combining PAR-CLIP with Me-RIP, we identify 39,060 m6A-switches among hnRNP C binding sites transcriptome-wide. We show that m6A-methyltransferases METTL3 or METTL14 knockdown decreases hnRNP C binding at 16,582 m6A-switches. Taken together, 2,798 m6A-switches of high confidence are identified to mediate RNA-hnRNP C interactions and affect diverse biological processes including cell cycle regulation. These findings reveal the biological importance of m6A and provide insights into the sophisticated regulation of RNA-RBP interactions through m6A-induced RNA structural remodeling. Measure the m6A methylated hnRNP C binding sites transcriptome-wide by PARCLIP-MeRIP; measure the differential hnRNP C occupancies upon METTL3/METTL14 knockdown by PAR-CLIP; measure RNA abundance and splicing level changes upon HNRNPC, METTL3 and METTL14 knockdown

Project description:The neurovascular unit (NVU) is a complex multicellular structure that helps maintain cerebral homeostasis and blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity. While extensive evidence links NVU alterations to cerebrovascular diseases and neurodegeneration, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we use zebrafish embryos carrying a mutation in Scavenger Receptor B2, a highly conserved endolysosomal protein expressed predominantly in Radial Glia Cells (RGCs), to investigate the interplay among different NVU components. Through live imaging and genetic manipulations, we demonstrate that compromised acidification of the endolysosomal compartment in mutant RGCs leads to impaired Notch3 signaling, thereby inducing excessive neurogenesis and reduced glial differentiation. We further demonstrate that alterations to the neuron/glia balance result in impaired VEGF and Wnt signaling, leading to severe vascular defects, hemorrhages, and a leaky BBB. Altogether, our findings provide novel insights into NVU formation and function and offer new avenues for investigating diseases involving white matter defects and vascular abnormalities.

Project description:Axon degeneration and neurological dysfunction in myelin diseases is often attributed to loss of myelin. Perturbed myelinating glia can instigate chronic neuroinflammation and contribute to demyelination and axonal damage. We have previously shown in mice that distinct defects in the proteolipid protein 1 gene result in axonal damage which is largely driven by cytotoxic T cells targeting myelinating oligodendrocytes. Here we show in these mutants that persistent ensheathment with perturbed myelin poses a risk for axon degeneration, neuron loss, and behavioral decline. We demonstrate that CD8+ T cell-driven axonal damage is less likely to progress towards degeneration when axons are efficiently demyelinated by activated microglia. Mechanistically, we show that cytotoxic T cell effector molecules induce aberrant cytoskeletal plasticity within myelinating glial processes and constriction of axons at paranodal domains. Our study identifies detrimental axon-glia interactions which promote neurodegeneration and possible therapeutic targets for disorders associated with myelin defects and neuroinflammation.
