Project description:Oligodendrocytes (OLs) are critical for myelination and are implicated in several brain disorders. Directed differentiation of human induced OLs (iOLs) from pluripotent stem cells can be achieved by forced expression of different combinations of the transcription factors SOX10 (S), OLIG2 (O) and NKX6.2 (N). Here, we applied quantitative image analysis and single-cell transcriptomics to compare different transcription factor combinations for their efficacy towards robust OL lineage conversion. Compared with S alone, the combination of SON significantly increases the number of myelin basic protein-positive iOLs and generates iOLs with a more complex morphology and higher expression levels of myelin-marker genes . The analysis of RNA velocity of individual cells reveals that S generates a population of volatile oligodendrocyte-precursor cells (OPCs) that appear to be more immature than those generated by SON and to display distinct molecular properties. Our analysis suggests that protocols for generating iOPCs or iOLs should be chosen depending on the intended application.

Project description:Myelination in the CNS is modulated by interplay between transcription factors and recruitment of chromatin modifying enzymes. Using a network built from genome-wide DNA methylation and transcriptomic profiling of sorted oligodendrocyte lineage cells that integrates oligodendrocyte-specific ChIP-Seq data, we defined a crucial role of DNA methylation in coordinating the transition between progenitor cell cycle arrest and oligodendrocyte differentiation. We further identified DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) as key regulator of oligodendrocyte survival at this transition point, as we detected severe and extensive developmental hypomyelination only in Olig1cre/+;Dnmt1flox/flox but not in Olig1cre/+;Dnmt3aflox/flox mice or in Cnpcre/+;Dnmt1flox/flox. This phenotype was characterized by decreased expression of genes regulating myelination and lipid metabolism â despite the hypomethylation observed at these genetic loci  â and upregulation of cell cycle and DNA-damage pathways. Therefore DNMT1 is a nodal point regulating proliferation, survival, and differentiation in the oligodendrocyte lineage, and is critical for cell number regulation in the developing brain. mRNA profiles of FAC-sorted P2 Pdgfra::GFP and P18 Plp1-GFP purified cell samples from mouse brains were generated by RNA-sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Project description:Cellular maturation is a crucial step for tissue formation and function, distinct from the initial steps of differentiation and cell fate specification. In the central nervous system, failure of oligodendrocyte maturation is linked to diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Here, we report a transcriptional mechanism that governs the timing of oligodendrocyte maturation. After progenitor cells differentiate into immature oligodendrocytes, the transcription factor SOX6 redistributes from super enhancers to cluster across specific gene bodies. These sites exhibit extensive chromatin decondensation and transcription, which abruptly turn off upon maturation. Suppression of SOX6 deactivates these immaturity loci, accelerating the transition to mature, myelinating oligodendrocytes. Notably, cells harboring this immature SOX6 gene signature are enriched in multiple sclerosis patient brains. Antisense oligonucleotide-mediated Sox6 knockdown drives precocious oligodendrocyte maturation in mice. Our findings establish SOX6 as a key regulator of oligodendrocyte maturation and highlight its potential as a therapeutic target to promote myelination in disease.
