Project description:we used single-cell transcriptomics and genotyping arrays to characterize 17 neuroblastoma samples across different risk groups and genetic subsets.Fresh samples, obtained from surgical resections and core biopsies, were used for genome variation profiling. DNA extraction from neuroblastoma samples was performed using the DNeasy blood and tissue kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. DNA quality was assessed using the Tapestation platform (Agilent). SNP microarray analysis was performed using the Cytoscan HD Array (Affymetrix) and data was processed using the Chromosome Analysis Suite version 3.3.0.139.

Project description:Recent reports of directed reprogramming have raised questions about the stability of cell lineages. Here, we have addressed this issue, focusing upon skin-derived precursors (SKPs), a dermally-derived precursor cell. We show by lineage tracing that murine SKPs from dorsal skin originate from mesenchymal and not neural crest-derived cells. These mesenchymally-derived SKPs can, without genetic manipulation, generate functional Schwann cells, a neural crest cell type, and are highly similar at the transcriptional level to Schwann cells isolated from the peripheral nerve. This is not a mouse-specific phenomenon, since human SKPs that are highly similar at the transcriptome level can be made from facial (neural crest-derived) and foreskin (mesodermally-derived) dermis, and the mesodermally-derived SKPs can make myelinating Schwann cells. Thus, non-neural crest-derived mesenchymal precursors can differentiate into bona fide peripheral glia in the absence of genetic manipulation, suggesting that developmentally-defined lineage boundaries are more flexible than widely thought. We obtained 3 independent samples of nerve Schwann cells, SKP-derived Schwann cells, and Dorsal Trunk SKPs, each, from adult SD rats. Primary cells were isolated and cultured, and RNA was collected from those cultured samples. RNA samples deriving from these cells were analyzed on the Affymetrix Rat Gene 1.0 ST Array.

Project description:Schwann cells (SCs) are an absolute prerequisite for development of effective treatment of myelin disorders and nerve injuries. However, human sources of functional, myelinating SCs are extremely limited. Here, we have developed a novel, efficient strategy for producing directly an unlimited supply of functional human SCs via successful derivation of expandable Schwann cell precursors (SCPs) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) (hPSC-SCPs). Functional and molecular characteristics of SCs from hPSC-SCPs (hPSC-SCP-SCs) appeared to be similar to those of authentic Schwann cells. As a novel therapeutic target, transplanted hPSC-SCP-SCs effectively promoted axonal regeneration through directly myelinating regenerated-axons in sciatic nerve injured mice. Here, we present hPSC-SCPs and hPSC-SCP-SCs as an outstanding resource to use for investigating human Schwann cell pathology and biology and for translational approaches to PNS and CNS repair and regeneration.

We obtained 4 independent samples of neonatal human foreskin and 4 independent samples of discarded facial skin tissue from children less than two years old. Primary cells were isolated and cultured as SKPs and RNA was collected from those cultured samples. RNA samples deriving from these cells were analyzed on the Affymetrix Human Gene 2.0 ST Array.

Project description:Schwann cell precursors (SCPs) are nerve-associated progenitors that not only can generate myelinating and non-myelinating Schwann cells but also are multipotent like the neural crest cells from which they originate. SCPs are omnipresent along outgrowing peripheral nerves throughout the body of vertebrate embryos. By using single-cell transcriptomics to generate the atlas of the entire neural crest lineage, we show that early SCPs and late migratory crest have similar transcriptional profiles characterized by a multipotent “hub” state containing cells biased towards traditional neural crest fates. SCPs keep diverging from the neural crest after being primed towards terminal Schwann cell and other fates, with different subtypes residing in distinct anatomical locations. Functional experiments using CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function further show that knock-out of the hub gene Sox8 causes defects in neural crest-derived cells along peripheral nerves by facilitating differentiation of SCPs towards sympathoadrenal fates. Finally, specific tumour populations found in melanoma, neurofibroma and neuroblastoma map to different stages of SCP/Schwann cell development. Overall, SCPs resemble migrating neural crest cells that maintain multipotency and become transcriptionally primed toward distinct lineages.
