Olig2-dependent developmental fate switch of NG2 cells.
NG2-expressing cells (NG2 cells or polydendrocytes) generate oligodendrocytes throughout the CNS and a subpopulation of protoplasmic astrocytes in the gray matter of the ventral forebrain. The mechanisms that regulate their oligodendrocyte or astrocyte fate and the degree to which they exhibit lineage plasticity in vivo have remained unclear. The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor Olig...
متن کاملAge-dependent fate and lineage restriction of single NG2 cells.
NG2-expressing glia (NG2 cells, polydendrocytes) appear in the embryonic brain, expand perinatally, and persist widely throughout the gray and white matter of the mature central nervous system. We have previously reported that NG2 cells generate oligodendrocytes in both gray and white matter and a subset of protoplasmic astrocytes in the gray matter of the ventral forebrain and spinal cord. To ...
متن کاملPhosphorylation Regulates OLIG2 Cofactor Choice and the Motor Neuron-Oligodendrocyte Fate Switch
A fundamental feature of central nervous system development is that neurons are generated before glia. In the embryonic spinal cord, for example, a group of neuroepithelial stem cells (NSCs) generates motor neurons (MNs), before switching abruptly to oligodendrocyte precursors (OLPs). We asked how transcription factor OLIG2 participates in this MN-OLP fate switch. We found that Serine 147 in th...
متن کاملOlig2 and Glial Fate in the SVZ
The nuclear protein poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is activated in response to DNA nicks and thus promotes DNA repair. The addition of ADP-riboses to acidic amino acid residues modifies the chromatin structure and affects DNA transcription and repair. This week, Visochek et al. provide data indicating that neurotrophins can also trigger PARP-1 activation. Brief exposures of cultured cor...
متن کاملNeural cell fate analysis in zebrafish using olig2 BAC transgenics.
We describe here simple methods for producing transgenic zebrafish reporter lines using BAC clones. The use of BAC clones facilitates creation of useful transgenics as the large amounts of genomic DNA they contain increase the likelihood that reporter gene expression will be properly regulated. Combined with recent advances in live embryo image analysis, this strategy has the potential to great...
