Die Rolle des Id3 Proteins als transkriptioneller Regulator der neuronalen Differenzierung in ZNS Verletzungen oder Krankheiten
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
The adult central nervous system (CNS) was considered a comparatively static tissue with little cell turnover. It is now well established that there is more plasticity than previously thought and that astrocytes in specific areas of the CNS, namely the subventricular zone (SVZ) act as stem cells for the generation of neuronal cells. The discovery that these neural stem / precursor cells (NSPCs) can give rise to a limited number of new neurons, reactive astrocytes and oligodendrocytes contributing to brain repair in CNS disease, has raised hopes toward harnessing these cells for therapeutic interventions. Here, we aimed to further understand the molecular mechanisms regulating the generation of neuronal cells and astrocytes from these NSPCs. We found that the balance of the transcription factor E47 and its negative regulator Id3 controls the generation of astrocytes from NSPCs. In more detail, we found that genetic depletion of Id3 decreased the number of astrocytes generated from SVZ-derived adult NSPCs in the cortical lesion area after traumatic brain injury. Cortical brain injury resulted in rapid BMP-2 and Id3 up-regulation in the SVZ stem cell niche. Id3-deficient adult NSPCs failed to differentiate into BMP-2-induced astrocytes, while NSPCs deficient for the Id3-controlled transcription factor E47 readily differentiated into astrocytes in the absence of BMP-2 in vitro. Mechanistically, E47 repressed the expression of several astrocytespecific genes in adult NSPCs. These results identify Id3 as the BMP-2-induced transcriptional regulator, promoting adult NSPC differentiation into astrocytes upon CNS injury and reveal a molecular link between environmental changes and NSPC differentiation in the CNS after injury. We believe that understanding the in vivo differentiation potential and the molecular underpinnings of NSPCs in the adult mammalian brain will help us to evaluate their contributions to brain repair and may lead to new concepts in treating human CNS disease.
