Gap junctions between glial cells in mammalian CNS are known to contain several connexins (Cx), including Cx26, Cx30 and Cx43 at astrocyte-to-astrocyte junctions, and Cx29 and Cx32 on the oligodendrocyte side of astrocyte-to-oligodendrocyte junctions. Recent reports indicating that oligodendrocytes also express Cx47 prompted the present studies of Cx47 localization and relationships to other gl...
The subcellular distributions and co-associations of the gap junction-forming proteins connexin 47 and connexin 32 were investigated in oligodendrocytes of adult mouse and rat CNS. By confocal immunofluorescence light microscopy, abundant connexin 47 was co-localized with astrocytic connexin 43 on oligodendrocyte somata, and along myelinated fibers, whereas connexin 32 without connexin 47 was c...
Cells at an intermediate stage of oligodendrocyte lineage are not only well characterized by biochemical studies but also are likely to relate to the outcome of physiological events. To elucidate the molecular events leading to the development of oligodendrocyte lineage cells, we have raised monoclonal antibodies against stage-specific immature oligodendrocytes, which have previously been isola...
Oligodendrocytes, the myelinating cells of the CNS, are highly vulnerable to glutamate excitotoxicity, a mechanism involved in tissue damage in multiple sclerosis. Thus, understanding oligodendrocyte death at the molecular level is important to develop new therapeutic approaches to treat the disease. Here, using microarray analysis and quantitative PCR, we observed that dual-specific phosphatas...
Differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells requires activation of the Src family kinase Fyn. The signals that are upstream and downstream of Fyn in oligodendrocytes remain essentially unknown. Here we show that extracellular matrix engagement regulates the morphology of oligodendrocytes and activates Fyn. Infection of primary oligodendrocyte cultures with recombinant adenovirus reveale...
The highly related transcription factors Sox4 and Sox11 are both expressed in oligodendrocyte precursors. Yet whether they have a function in oligodendrocyte development is unknown. By overexpressing Sox4 under the control of 3.1 kb of 5' flanking sequences of the myelin basic protein gene in transgenic mice, we extended Sox4 expression in the oligodendrocyte lineage from oligodendrocyte precur...
The knock-out analyses of neuregulin and its receptors have indicated that they play essential roles in Schwann cell development. However, the role they play in oligodendrocyte development in vivo has remained unclear, because such knock-out animals die before CNS myelination begins. We examined the role of neuregulin signaling in the CNS by generating transgenic mice that express a dominant-ne...
Establishment of oligodendrocyte identity is crucial for subsequent events of myelination in the CNS. Here, we demonstrate that activation of ATP-dependent SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling enzyme Smarca4/Brg1 at the differentiation onset is necessary and sufficient to initiate and promote oligodendrocyte lineage progression and maturation. Genome-wide multistage studies by ChIP-seq reveal that olig...
basic research on the autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis has been performed mainly on its animal model namely experimental allergic encephalomyelitis. there are many different approaches established to get this model. despite the existence of many references in literature in this regard, we have been faced with many difficulties generating the model suitable for studying different therapies....
Oligodendrocyte-formed myelin sheaths allow fast synaptic transmission in the brain and their degeneration leads to demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Remyelination requires differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells into mature oligodendrocytes but, chronic neurodegenerative disorders, remyelination fails due adverse environment. Therefore, a strategy prompt cell towar...
