Adult brain retains the potential to generate oligodendroglial progenitors with extensive myelination capacity

Abstract: Remyelination of focal areas of the central nervous system (CNS) in animals can be achieved by transplantation of glial cells, yet the source of these cells in humans to similarly treat myelin disorders is limited at present to fetal tissue. Multipotent precursor cells are present in the CNS of adult as well as embryonic and neonatal animals and can differentiate into lineage-restricted progenitors such as oligodendroglial progenitors (OPs). The OPs present in adults have a different phenotype from those seen … Show more

“…Multiple approaches have been developed for OPC purification; each has its own merits. Compared to other OPC isolation methods such as costly immunopanning 5,9,10 and technically demanding differential gradient centrifugation 7,8,12 , the method for OPC preparation through oligosphere generation from both mouse and rat neural progenitor cells is simple and straightforward 20,21,26 . It can be easily followed by a researcher without prior OPC isolation experience.…”

“…The presence of Ulip6/CRMP5and Ulip2/CRMP2 in oligodendrocytes might be related to different functions of these cells, depending on their localization or degree of maturation. In fact, some Ulip/CRMPexpressing cells might be oligodendrocyte progenitors, retaining the capacity of migration/differentiation in adult brain (Zhang et al, 1999). However, differentiated oligodendrocytes expressed Ulip6/CRMP5, because loops around axons belonging to myelinating oligodendrocytes were labeled by anti-Ulip6/CRMP5 antibodies.…”

“…To migrate widely throughout the CNS, OPCs need to respond to various growth factors (Barres and Raff, 1999;Miller, 2002). In the adult brain, OPCs may also be guided to sites of injury, where they contribute to myelin repair (Blakemore and Keirstead, 1999;Zhang et al, 1999).…”
