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 کاملElectrical signalling properties of oligodendrocyte precursor cells.
Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) have become the focus of intense research, not only because they generate myelin-forming oligodendrocytes in the normal CNS, but because they may be suitable for transplantation to treat disorders in which myelin does not form or is damaged, and because they have stem-cell-like properties in that they can generate astrocytes and neurons as well as oligoden...
متن کاملOligodendrocyte Precursor Cells Synthesize Neuromodulatory Factors
NG2 protein-expressing oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC) are a persisting and major glial cell population in the adult mammalian brain. Direct synaptic innervation of OPC by neurons throughout the brain together with their ability to sense neuronal network activity raises the question of additional physiological roles of OPC, supplementary to generating myelinating oligodendrocytes. In thi...
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...
متن کاملInduction of rat neural stem cells into oligodendrocyte precursor cells.
We have previously established a culture method to isolate and cultivate neural stem cells (NSCs) derived from the rat embryonic brain and spinal cord. In the present study, we demonstrate that the spinal cord-derived NSCs can be induced to differentiate into oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) with a combined treatment composed of (1) conditioned medium collected from B104 neuroblastoma cel...
