Oligodendrocytes in Development, Myelin Generation and Beyond

OPC are distributed throughout the CNS and represent a pool of migratory and proliferative adult progenitor cells that can differentiate into oligodendrocytes. The central function of oligodendrocytes is to generate myelin, which is an extended membrane from the cell that wraps tightly around axons. Due to this energy consuming process and the associated high metabolic turnover oligodendrocytes are vulnerable to cytotoxic and excitotoxic factors. Oligodendrocyte pathology is therefore evident in a range of disorders including multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease. Deceased oligodendrocytes can be replenished from the adult OPC pool and lost myelin can be regenerated during remyelination, which can prevent axonal degeneration and can restore function. Cell population studies have recently identified novel immunomodulatory functions of oligodendrocytes, the implications of which, e.g., for diseases with primary oligodendrocyte pathology, are not yet clear. Here, we review the journey of oligodendrocytes from the embryonic stage to their role in homeostasis and their fate in disease. We will also discuss the most common models used to study oligodendrocytes and describe newly discovered functions of oligodendrocytes. -
SNORD116 and Growth Hormone Therapy Impact IGFBP7 in Praderâ
www.nature.com/gim ARTICLE SNORD116 and growth hormone therapy impact IGFBP7 in Prader–Willi syndrome Sanaa Eddiry1,2, Gwenaelle Diene3,4, Catherine Molinas1,3,4, Juliette Salles1,5, Françoise Conte Auriol1,2, Isabelle Gennero1, Eric Bieth6, ✉ Boris V. Skryabin7, Timofey S. Rozhdestvensky7, Lisa C. Burnett8, Rudolph L. Leibel9, Maithé Tauber1,3,4 and Jean Pierre Salles 1,2,4 PURPOSE: Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with hypothalamic dysfunction due to deficiency of imprinted genes located on the 15q11-q13 chromosome. Among them, the SNORD116 gene appears critical for the expression of the PWS phenotype. We aimed to clarify the role of SNORD116 in cellular and animal models with regard to growth hormone therapy (GHT), the main approved treatment for PWS. METHODS: We collected serum and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from GH-treated PWS patients to differentiate into dopaminergic neurons, and in parallel used a Snord116 knockout mouse model. We analyzed the expression of factors potentially linked to GH responsiveness. RESULTS: We found elevated levels of circulating IGFBP7 in naive PWS patients, with IGFBP7 levels normalizing under GHT. We found elevated IGFBP7 levels in the brains of Snord116 knockout mice and in iPSC-derived neurons from a SNORD116-deleted PWS patient. High circulating levels of IGFBP7 in PWS patients may result from both increased IGFBP7 expression and decreased IGFBP7 cleavage, by downregulation of the proconvertase PC1. CONCLUSION: SNORD116 deletion affects IGFBP7 levels, while IGFBP7 decreases under GHT in PWS patients. Modulation of the 1234567890():,; IGFBP7 level, which interacts with IGF1, has implications in the pathophysiology and management of PWS under GHT. -

Mok1,5,6,14,15 &HoKo 1,2,4,5,6,8,14,16 1234567890():,; The molecular signatures of cells in the brain have been revealed in unprecedented detail, yet the ageing-associated genome-wide expression changes that may contribute to neurovas- cular dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases remain elusive. Here, we report zonation- dependent transcriptomic changes in aged mouse brain endothelial cells (ECs), which pro- minently implicate altered immune/cytokine signaling in ECs of all vascular segments, and functional changes impacting the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and glucose/energy metabolism especially in capillary ECs (capECs). An overrepresentation of Alzheimer disease (AD) GWAS genes is evident among the human orthologs of the differentially expressed genes of aged capECs, while comparative analysis revealed a subset of concordantly downregulated, functionally important genes in human AD brains. Treatment with exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, strongly reverses aged mouse brain EC transcriptomic changes and BBB leakage, with associated attenuation of microglial priming. We thus revealed tran- scriptomic alterations underlying brain EC ageing that are complex yet pharmacologically reversible. -

China 4Department of Laboratory Medicine, Bengbu Medical College, Bengbu, P.R. China Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) are bipotential progenitor cells that can differentiate into myelin-forming oligodendrocytes or functionally undetermined type II astrocytes. Transplantation of OPCs is an attractive therapy for demyelinating diseases. However, due to their bipotential differentiation potential, the majority of OPCs differentiate into astrocytes at transplanted sites. It is therefore important to understand the molecular mechanisms that regulate the transition from OPCs to oligodendrocytes or astrocytes. In this study, we isolated OPCs from the spinal cords of rat embryos (16 days old) and induced them to differentiate into oligodendrocytes or type II astrocytes in the absence or presence of 10% fetal bovine serum, respectively. RNAs were extracted from each cell population and hybridized to GeneChip with 28,700 rat genes. Using the criterion of fold change > 4 in the expression level, we identified 83 genes that were up-regulated and 89 genes that were down-regulated in oligodendrocytes, and 92 genes that were up-regulated and 86 that were down-regulated in type II astrocytes compared with OPCs. -

Insulin-Like Growth Factor Axis in Pregnancies Affected by Fetal Growth Disorders Aamod R
Nawathe et al. Clinical Epigenetics (2016) 8:11 DOI 10.1186/s13148-016-0178-5 RESEARCH Open Access Insulin-like growth factor axis in pregnancies affected by fetal growth disorders Aamod R. Nawathe1,2, Mark Christian3, Sung Hye Kim2, Mark Johnson1,2, Makrina D. Savvidou1,2 and Vasso Terzidou1,2* Abstract Background: Insulin-like growth factors 1 and 2 (IGF1 and IGF2) and their binding proteins (IGFBPs) are expressed in the placenta and known to regulate fetal growth. DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism which involves addition of methyl group to a cytosine base in the DNA forming a methylated cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) dinucleotide which is known to silence gene expression. This silences gene expression, potentially altering the expression of IGFs and their binding proteins. This study investigates the relationship between DNA methylation of components of the IGF axis in the placenta and disorders in fetal growth. Placental samples were obtained from cord insertions immediately after delivery from appropriate, small (defined as birthweight <10th percentile for the gestation [SGA]) and macrosomic (defined as birthweight > the 90th percentile for the gestation [LGA]) neonates. Placental DNA methylation, mRNA expression and protein levels of components of the IGF axis were determined by pyrosequencing, rtPCR and Western blotting. Results: In the placenta from small for gestational age (SGA) neonates (n = 16), mRNA and protein levels of IGF1 were lower and of IGFBPs (1, 2, 3, 4 and 7) were higher (p < 0.05) compared to appropriately grown neonates (n =37).In contrast, in the placenta from large for gestational age (LGA) neonates (n = 20), mRNA and protein levels of IGF1 was not different and those of IGFBPs (1, 2, 3 and 4) were lower (p < 0.05) compared to appropriately grown neonates. -
