Oligodendrocytes as Regulators of Neuronal Networks during Early Postnatal Development
Oligodendrocytes are the glial cells responsible for myelin formation. Myelination occurs during the first postnatal weeks and, in rodents, is completed during the third week after birth. Myelin ensures the fast conduction of the nerve impulse; in the adult, myelin proteins have an inhibitory role on axon growth and regeneration after injury. During brain development, oligodendrocytes precursor...
متن کاملGas6 Increases Myelination by Oligodendrocytes and Its Deficiency Delays Recovery following Cuprizone-Induced Demyelination
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Current research has shown that at least in some cases, the primary insult in MS could be directed at the oligodendrocyte, and that the earliest immune responses are primarily via innate immune cells. We have identified a family of receptor protein tyrosine kinases, known as the TAM receptors (Tyro3, Axl a...
متن کاملNovel Role of MeCP2 in Developing Oligodendrocytes and Myelination
Acknowledgements First I would like to acknowledge my lab mates Allison Vestaal-Laborde, Andrew Eschenroder and Manisha Magar, without whom I would have been lost in my journey through the creation of this thesis. More importantly they were always incredibly good at keeping me laughing through all the pitfalls encountered in gathering my data and trying to put it to paper. giving me guidance an...
متن کاملIntegrin Signaling in Oligodendrocytes and Its Importance in CNS Myelination
Multiple sclerosis is characterized by repeated demyelinating attacks of the central nervous system (CNS) white matter tracts. To tailor novel therapeutics to halt or reverse disease process, we require a better understanding of oligodendrocyte biology and of the molecular mechanisms that initiate myelination. Cell extrinsic mechanisms regulate CNS myelination through the interaction of extrace...
متن کاملMicroglial phospholipase D4 deficiency influences myelination during brain development
Phospholipase D4 (PLD4) is expressed in activated microglia that transiently appear in white matter during postnatal brain development. Previous knockdown experiments using cultured microglia showed PLD4 involvement in phagocytosis and proliferation. To elucidate the role of PLD4 in vivo, PLD4-deficient mice were generated and the cerebella were examined at postnatal day 5 (P5) and P7, when PLD...
