Project description:The progressive loss of CNS myelin in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) has been proposed to result from the combined effects of damage to oligodendrocytes and failure of remyelination. A common feature of demyelinated lesions is the presence of oligodendrocyte precursors (OLPs) blocked at a premyelinating stage. However, the mechanistic basis for inhibition of myelin repair is incompletely understood. To identify novel regulators of OLP differentiation, potentially dysregulated during repair, we performed a genome-wide screen of 1040 transcription factor-encoding genes expressed in remyelinating rodent lesions. We report that M-bM-^HM-<50 transcription factor-encoding genes show dynamic expression during repair and that expression of the Wnt pathway mediator Tcf4 (aka Tcf7l2) within OLPs is specific to lesionedM-bM-^@M-^Tbut not normalM-bM-^@M-^Tadult white matter. We report that M-NM-2-catenin signaling is active during oligodendrocyte development and remyelination in vivo. Moreover, we observed similar regulation of Tcf4 in the developing human CNS and lesions of MS. Data mining revealed elevated levels of Wnt pathway mRNA transcripts and proteins within MS lesions, indicating activation of the pathway in this pathological context. We show that dysregulation of WntM-bM-^@M-^SM-NM-2-catenin signaling in OLPs results in profound delay of both developmental myelination and remyelination, based on (1) conditional activation of M-NM-2-catenin in the oligodendrocyte lineage in vivo and (2) findings from APCMin mice, which lack one functional copy of the endogenous Wnt pathway inhibitor APC. Together, our findings indicate that dysregulated WntM-bM-^@M-^SM-NM-2-catenin signaling inhibits myelination/remyelination in the mammalian CNS. Evidence of Wnt pathway activity in human MS lesions suggests that its dysregulation might contribute to inefficient myelin repair in human neurological disorders. 12 samples total. Two variables in the experiment: genotype (wild type or Olig2cre/DA-Cat) and Developmental stage (Day 4 or Day 15). 4 phenotypes in total with 3 biological replicates for each phenotype.

Project description:TCF7L2 is one of the strongest type 2 diabetes (T2DM) candidate genes to emerge from GWAS studies, but the mechanisms by which it regulates the pathways which are important in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes are unknown. Previous in vitro and in vivo studies have focused on the link between TCF7L2 and insulin secretion as an explanation for the association between TCF7L2 and T2DM. However, TCF7L2 and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway are important for metabolic zonation in the liver. This raises the interesting possibility that TCF7L2 may influence glucose homeostasis by regulating hepatic glucose production (HGP). To examine this question, we utilized the H4IIE cell as a model of HGP. Inhibition of HGP in H4IIE cells from lactate and pyruvate was highly sensitive to physiological concentrations of insulin and metformin. Silencing of TCF7L2 protein expression induced a 5-fold increase in basal HGP (P<0.0001), and this was accompanied by marked increase in the expression of several key gluconeogenic genes. FBPase, PEPCK and G6Pase mRNA were up-regulated 2.5-fold (P<0.0001), 1.4-fold (P<0.01) and 2.3-fold (P<0.0001), respectively, compared to scramble siRNA. Compared to their respective baseline values, insulin and metformin suppressed HGP equally in the scramble and TCF7L2 siRNA cells, but HGP remained elevated in TCF7L2 silenced cells due to the increased baseline HGP. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq), we investigated the direct transcriptional targets of TCF7L2 in hepatocytes. A total of 2119 ChIP peaks were detected, of which 36% were located inside gene boundaries and, overall, a total of 65% of all binding events were within 50 Kb of a gene. De novo motif analysis revealed remarkable conservation of the long and short TCF7L2 consensus binding sites in the rat hepatocytes. Pathway analysis showed that the top two disease categories over-represented in our dataset were “non-insulin dependent diabetes” (155 genes; P = 1.63 x 10-10) and “diabetes mellitus” (245 genes; P = 7.4 x 10-12). Inspection of genes in these categories revealed that TCF7L2 directly binds to multiple genes important in the regulation of glucose metabolism in the liver, including PEPCK, FBP1, IRS1, IRS2, AKT2 ADIPOR1, PDK4 and CPT1A. Our findings suggest a novel mechanism for the regulation of HGP by TCF7L2, and provide a possible explanation for the association of TCF7L2 polymorphisms with the incidence of T2DM. two samples: TCF7L2 ChIP-Seq and Input DNA

Project description:Homeostatic scaling adjusts synaptic strength in response to persistent changes in neuronal network activity. This compensatory mechanism requires proteome remodeling accomplished via regulation of protein synthesis as well as degradation, but the global patterns of proteome remodeling and the underlying dynamics of individual proteins remain elusive. Here we used dynamic SILAC labeling in cultured hippocampal cells to identify proteins involved in homeostatic up- or down-scaling and to quantify their changes in synthesis and degradation as well as resulting changes in protein abundance or turnover. Our data demonstrate that a large fraction of the neuronal proteome is remodeled during homeostatic scaling. Most proteins were down-regulated by decreased synthesis or up-regulated by decreased degradation. Comparably fewer proteins showed increased synthesis or degradation rates. More than half of the quantified synaptic proteins were regulated, including pre- as well as postsynaptic proteins with diverse molecular functions.

Project description:The molecular basis of CNS myelin regeneration (remyelination) is poorly understood. Here we generate a comprehensive transcriptional profile of the separate stages of spontaneous remyelination following focal demyelination in the rat CNS. White matter tracts in the rat caudal cerebellar peduncles were focally demyelinated using 0.1% ethidium bromide, the lesions were isolated using laser capture microdissection at 5, 14 and 28 days postlesion, followed by RNA extraction and Illumina beadarray analysis of differentially expressed transcripts. We found transcripts encoding retinoid acid receptor RXR-gamma is highly differentially expressed during remyelination, and that oligodendrocyte lineage cells express RXR-gamma in rat tissues undergoing remyelination and in active and remyelinated MS lesions. RXR-gamma knockdown by RNA interference or RXR-specific antagonists severely inhibit oligodendrocyte differentiation in culture. In RXR-gamma deficient mice, adult oligodendrocyte precursor cells efficiently repopulate lesions following demyelination, but display delayed differentiation into mature oligodendrocytes. Administration of the RXR agonist 9-cis-retinoic acid to demyelinated cerebellar slice cultures and to aged rats following demyelination results in more remyelinated axons. RXR-gamma is therefore a positive regulator of endogenous oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation and remyelination, and may be a pharmacological target for CNS regenerative therapy. 9 Samples analysed, 3 different time points each with 3 biological replicates.

Project description:TCF7L2 regulates multiple metabolic pathways in hepatocytes through a transcriptional network involving HNF4M-NM-1 For the identification of Tcf7l2 target genes using a RNA-seq timecourse, and for identifying the binding sites of Tcf7l2 and Hnf4a, Tcf7l2 was silenced in rat H4IIE hepatocytes using siRNA for Tcf7l2 with a scrambled siRNA as control. Treatment times for RNA-seq samples were 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 48, and 96 hours, and for ChIP-seq samples 15 h. RNA-seq timecourse was performed in duplicate or triplicate, and the ChIP-seq in duplicate for Tcf7l2 and in singlicate for Hnf4a. The H4IIE-specific transcriptome was defined from an independent set of pooled 24 h siRNA treated samples (N=3 for siRNA for Tcf7l2 and N=3 for scrambled siRNA).

Project description:Remyelination failure contributes to axonal dysfunction in neurodegenerative disorders. But whether astrocytes, the most abundant glial cell type in demyelinated lesions, support or impede remyelination is controversial. Following focal demyelinated lesions of the mouse corpus callosum induced with the myelin toxin lysolecithin, we used TRAP (translational ribosome affinity purification) sequencing to isolate and sequence ribosome-associated mRNAs which are being actively translated in astrocytes, and studied how the responses and molecular mechanisms in astrocytes are linked to remyelination.
