Article Abstract
We developed a culture model of a human olfactory ensheathing cell tumor. Cultured organoids resemble normal ensheathing cells. Assays suggest that this model provides a tool for studying the roles of these glial cells in the maintenance of the peripheral olfactory system.

Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are among the most promising cell types for the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI) and other neural traumas. However, primary OECs cultured in vitro are constrained by their inherent "Hayflick limit," resulting in poor proliferative and passaging capacities, which restricts their large-scale application in both basic and clinical research. Conditional immortalization technology provides an excellent solution for rapid, large-scale, and controllable proliferation of primary OECs.

Brain iron is important for normal function, and aberrantly high iron is often associated with neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Oligodendrocytes are a major source of iron in brain as are iron-laden activated macrophages and microglia. T*-weighted MRI detected a large decrease in signal at the olfactory nerve layer (ONL) in normal young mice over the period of 3 to 12 weeks of age, consistent with iron accumulation in this region.

Schwann cell (SC) transplantation is considered as a promising strategy for spinal cord injury. However, SCs show less capability in assisting the regenerative axons to penetrate through astrocyte (AS)-formed scar barrier. Anosmin-1, an extracellular matrix glycosylated adhesion protein expressed in the olfactory bulb, is involved in olfactory ensheathing cells and reborn olfactory nerve axons continually penetrating the glial barrier and targeting the olfactory bulb.

While these conserved glial immune responses are neuroprotective, our mechanistic understanding of glial immunity in the damaged and diseased brain is still incomplete. Here, using an nerve injury assay in the adult olfactory system, we characterize a novel role for the transmembrane adhesion molecule Ninjurin A (NijA).

During development and following injury-induced neurogenesis, olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) envelope the axon bundles of sensory neurons and support their growth to the glomerular destinations in the olfactory bulb. Transplantation of OECs to various neuronal injury locations showed a reparative impact; however, there was huge variability. By combining mRNA sequencing with bioinformatics analysis and immunohistochemistry, we characterized the cellular and molecular biological properties of OECs of the lamina propria and their response to neuronal injury.
