Quantitative Imaging of White and Gray Matter Remyelination in the Cuprizone Demyelination Model Using the Macromolecular Proton Fraction

Abstract: Macromolecular proton fraction (MPF) has been established as a quantitative clinically-targeted MRI myelin biomarker based on recent demyelination studies. This study aimed to assess the capability of MPF to quantify remyelination using the murine cuprizone-induced reversible demyelination model. MPF was measured in vivo using the fast single-point method in three animal groups (control, cuprizone-induced demyelination, and remyelination after cuprizone withdrawal) and compared to quantitative immunohistochemi… Show more

“…The drawback of qMT is the requirement for a longer and more complex acquisition. Recently, there have been alternative techniques to estimate only MPF, resulting in faster acquisitions with similar results ( Khodanovich et al, 2019 ; Khodanovich et al, 2017 ; Yarnykh, 2012 ). Despite being focused on macromolecular contributions, these approaches are not strictly specific to myelin ( Sled, 2018 ): in this sense, an important limitation is that MT effects are sensitive to the pH of the targeted tissue and therefore changes in the pH (caused for example by inflammation processes) will affect MT-based measures of myelin ( Stanisz et al, 2004 ).…”

“…Even in this case, the acquisition time still reaches 15 min for acquiring roughly the whole brain with an isotropic resolution of 2 mm. Complex MT acquisitions such as qMT suffer from the same problem, although it is possible to use optimized and faster protocols to focus specifically on MPF ( Khodanovich et al, 2019 ; Khodanovich et al, 2017 ; Yarnykh, 2012 ).…”

“…The human brain undergoes rapid myelination during late development as measured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ( Heath et al, 2018 ). Interpretation of the myelination from MRI contrast requires establishing its correlation with histological measurements of myelin levels ( Khodanovich et al, 2019 ). Robust measurements of myelination in postmortem human brains can provide new insights in myelination of human brain during development and during degeneration.…”
