Transcription factor 7 like 2 promotes oligodendrocyte differentiation and remyelination
Transcription factor 7 like 2 (TCF7L2, also termed TCF4), is a Wnt effector induced transiently in the oligodendroglial lineage. The current well accepted hypothesis is that TCF7L2 inhibits oligodendrocyte differentiation and remyelination through canonical Wnt/β‑catenin signaling. However, recent studies indicated that TCF7L2 activity is required during oligodendrocyte differentiation and remy...
متن کاملMethylthioadenosine promotes remyelination by inducing oligodendrocyte differentiation
Background: Methylthioadenosine is a metabolite of the polyamine pathway that modulates methyltransferase activity, thereby influencing DNA and protein methylation. Since methylthioadenosine produces neuroprotection in models of inflammation, ischemia and epilepsy, we set out to evaluate the role of methylthioadenosine in promoting remyelination, a process that will protect axons in demyelinati...
متن کاملCXCR4 promotes differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitors and remyelination.
Multiple sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by episodes of autoimmune attack of oligodendrocytes leading to demyelination and progressive functional deficits. Because many patients exhibit functional recovery in between demyelinating episodes, understanding mechanisms responsible for repair of damaged myelin is critical for developing therapies that promote remyelination and...
متن کاملRegulation of Oligodendrocyte Differentiation: Relevance for Remyelination
A major distinguishing feature of the vertebrate nervous system is the formation of myelin sheaths. The myelin sheath has two main functions. First, it electrically insulates the axon thereby enabling saltatory conduction and highly increasing conduction velocity. This also strongly reduces energy consumption since restoration of ion gradients occurs only at the nodes of Ranvier (i.e. at less t...
متن کاملInhibition of phosphodiesterase-4 promotes oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation and enhances CNS remyelination
The increasing effectiveness of new disease-modifying drugs that suppress disease activity in multiple sclerosis has opened up opportunities for regenerative medicines that enhance remyelination and potentially slow disease progression. Although several new targets for therapeutic enhancement of remyelination have emerged, few lend themselves readily to conventional drug development. Here, we u...
