Understanding the molecular basis of cell migration; implications for clinical therapy in multiple sclerosis.
1. Multiple sclerosis is characterized by areas of demyelination spread throughout the central nervous system, in which the myelin sheaths surrounding axons are destroyed. While therapies aimed at suppressing the autoimmune response, such as beta-interferon, may prevent further damage, they cannot repair or replace the lost myelin. To this end, an additional therapy has been proposed, which inv...
متن کاملSox9 and Sox10 influence survival and migration of oligodendrocyte precursors in the spinal cord by regulating PDGF receptor alpha expression.
Specification of the myelin-forming oligodendrocytes of the central nervous system requires the Sox9 transcription factor, whereas terminal differentiation depends on the closely related Sox10. Between specification and terminal differentiation, Sox9 and Sox10 are co-expressed in oligodendrocyte precursors and are believed to exert additional functions. To identify such functions, we have delet...
متن کاملReaction of subventricular zone stem cells to the induction of experimental autoimmue encephalomyelitis in mouse
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease. In the present study, we investigated the response of subventricular zone (SVZ) adult stem cells in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of MS, and also the differentiation fate of these stem cells. Methods: Mice were immunized with MOG peptide emulsified in complete Freund'...
متن کاملLipid rafts and integrin activation regulate oligodendrocyte survival.
Newly formed oligodendrocytes in the CNS derive survival cues from their target axons. These cues are provided in part by laminins expressed on the axon, which are recognized by alpha6beta1 integrin on the oligdendrocyte and amplify platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling through the phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K) pathway. The alpha6beta1 integrin is localized in oligodendrocyte ...
متن کاملOsp/Claudin-11 Forms a Complex with a Novel Member of the Tetraspanin Super Family and β1 Integrin and Regulates Proliferation and Migration of Oligodendrocytes
Oligodendrocyte-specific protein (OSP)/claudin-11 is a major component of central nervous system myelin and forms tight junctions (TJs) within myelin sheaths. TJs are essential for forming a paracellular barrier and have been implicated in the regulation of growth and differentiation via signal transduction pathways. We have identified an OSP/claudin-11-associated protein (OAP)1, using a yeast ...
