Cultured Schwann Cells Constitutively Express the Myelin Protein P0
It is widely thought that mammalian Schwann cells do not express Po, the major glycoprotein in peripheral myelin, unless they are induced to do so by axonal signals that can be mimicked by agents that trigger cAMP signaling pathways. In contrast, we find that cultured Schwann cells make large amounts of Po without the addition of any axonal-like signal, provided they have not been exposed to se...
متن کاملNon-myelin-forming perisynaptic schwann cells express protein zero and myelin-associated glycoprotein.
Perisynaptic Schwann cells (PSCs) envelop axonal terminals and are physiologically distinct from the nearby myelinating Schwann cells (MSCs), which surround the same innervating motor axons. PSCs have special functions at the neuromuscular synapse, where they detect and can modulate neurotransmitter release. Although PSCs are similar to non-myelinating Schwann cells in that they do not form mul...
متن کاملImmunocytochemical localization of P0 protein in Golgi complex membranes and myelin of developing rat Schwann cells
P0 protein, the dominant protein in peripheral nervous system myelin, was studied immunocytochemically in both developing and mature Schwann cells. Trigeminal and sciatic nerves from newborn, 7-d, and adult rats were processed for transmission electron microscopy. Alternating 1-micrometer-thick Epon sections were stained with paraphenylenediamine (PD) or with P0 antiserum according to the perox...
متن کاملSchwann cells of the myelin-forming phenotype express neurofilament protein NF-M
Immature Schwann cells of the rat sciatic nerve can differentiate into myelin-forming or non-myelin-forming cells. The factors that influence this divergent development are unknown but certain markers such as galactocerebroside distinguish the two cell populations at an early stage of Schwann cell differentiation. Because myelination requires extensive changes in cell morphology, we have invest...
متن کاملDevelopmental changes in myelin-induced proliferation of cultured Schwann cells
Schwann cell proliferation induced by a myelin-enriched fraction was examined in vitro. Although nearly all the Schwann cells contained material that was recognized by antisera to myelin basic protein after 24 h, only 1% of the cells were synthesizing DNA. 72 h after the addition of the mitogen a maximum of 10% of the cells incorporated [3H]thymidine. If the cultures were treated with the myeli...
