Doublecortin in Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells in the Adult Mouse Brain
Key Points Oligodendrocyte precursor cells express doublecortin, a microtubule-associated protein.Oligodendrocyte precursor cells express doublecortin, but at a lower level of expression than in neuronal precursor.Doublecortin is not associated with a potential immature neuronal phenotype in Oligodendrocyte precursor cells. Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPC) are glial cells that differentiat...
متن کاملFunctions of Adult Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells in Brain Injury and Repair*
Oligodendrocytes populate the nervous system in great numbers, and are vital to the protection of neurons due to their role in myelin production. Previously unrecognized as a unique cell type, oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) have now been identified via their expression of a specific marker antigen, NG2. In the following discussion, the characteristics of OPCs are elucidated within the c...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells in adult human brain
OBJECTIVE Remyelination in multiple sclerosis has been attributed to the presence of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in brain parenchyma. However, the precise identity of these progenitors is poorly defined. Here, we characterized populations of OPCs in the adult human brain and examined their myelination capacity and profile of miRNAs. Comparisons were made with fetal OPCs and mature o...
متن کاملProlactin Stimulates Precursor Cells in the Adult Mouse Hippocampus
In the search for ways to combat degenerative neurological disorders, neurogenesis-stimulating factors are proving to be a promising area of research. In this study, we show that the hormonal factor prolactin (PRL) can activate a pool of latent precursor cells in the adult mouse hippocampus. Using an in vitro neurosphere assay, we found that the addition of exogenous PRL to primary adult hippoc...
متن کاملAn Intracellular Timer in Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells
Our interest in developmental timing began with a surprising experimental result obtained by Erika Abney, an immunologist who joined our group in the late 1970s. We had earlier defined a set of cell-type-specific markers that allowed us to distinguish the major types of glial cells found in suspensions and cultures of rat central nervous system (CNS) cells: astrocytes, which are heterogeneous a...
