Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is neurodegenerative leukodystrophy caused by dysfunction of the proteolipid protein 1 (PLP1) gene on Xq22, which codes for an essential myelin protein. As an X-linked condition, PMD primarily affects males; however there have been a small number of affected females reported in the medical literature with a variety of different mutations in this gene. No affec...
Neuroglial cell death was investigated in 3 white matter tracts of jimpy and normal mice. In normal animals, glial death during development ranged from 0.5 to 2.7% of the total glial population. The number of dying glial cells was significantly higher in jimpy animals at times corresponding with oligodendroglial proliferation and the onset of myelination in each tract. At certain ages, over 10%...
BACKGROUND Although the contributions of microglia and astrocytes to chronic pain pathogenesis have been a focal point of investigation in recent years, the potential role of oligodendrocytes, another major type of glial cells in the CNS that generates myelin, remains largely unknown. RESULTS We report here that cell markers of the oligodendrocyte lineage, including NG2, PDGFRa, and Olig2, ar...
Nogo-A is one of the most potent oligodendrocyte-derived inhibitors for axonal regrowth in the injured adult CNS. However, the physiological function of Nogo-A in development and in healthy oligodendrocytes is still unknown. In the present study, we investigated the role of Nogo-A for myelin formation in the developing optic nerve. By quantitative real-time PCR, we found that the expression of ...
Extraction of rat brain myelin in a buffer containing Triton X-100 yielded a soluble fraction and an insoluble residue that was enriched in cytoskeletal elements. Immunoblot analysis of the detergent-soluble fraction and the insoluble cytoskeletal residue showed that all of the tubulin and more than half of the actin were found within the cytoskeletal fraction. The distribution of myelin-specif...
Semliki Forest Virus (SFV) induces an encephalomyelitis followed by demyelination in the brains of C57Bl6/J (B6) mice. To investigate the role of molecular mimicry in the pathogenesis of postviral demyelination, alignment algorithms were used and amino acid homologies between immunogenic epitopes of SFV and myelin autoantigens, myelin basic protein (MBP), myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) and my...
Mice lacking the expression of proteolipid protein (PLP)/DM20 in oligodendrocytes provide a genuine model for spastic paraplegia (SPG-2). Their axons are well myelinated but exhibit impaired axonal transport and progressive degeneration, which is difficult to attribute to the absence of a single myelin protein. We hypothesized that secondary molecular changes in PLP(null) myelin contribute to t...
Axons in the PNS and CNS are ensheathed by multiple layers of tightly compacted myelin membranes. A series of cytoplasmic channels connect outer and inner margins of PNS, but not CNS, myelin internodes. Membranes of these Schmidt-Lantermann (S-L) incisures contain the myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) but not P(0) or proteolipid protein (PLP), the structural proteins of compact PNS (P(0)) an...
