Central and peripheral dysmyelination in a 3‐year‐old girl with ring chromosome 18

Clinical Case Reports, 2019
Myelin basic protein (MBP) contributes to peripheral and central nervous system myelin. Developmental myelinopathies exist on a clinical spectrum, but MBP is not included on leukodystrophy or CMT gene panels.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids in the pathogenesis and treatment of multiple sclerosis [PDF]

, 2007
Epidemiological, biochemical, animal model and clinical trial data described in this overview strongly suggest that polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly n-6 fatty acids, have a role in the pathogenesis and treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS).

Age-dependent differences in myelin basic protein expression in the hippocampus of young, adult and aged gerbils

Laboratory Animal Research, 2017
Myelin degeneration is one of the characteristics of aging and degenerative diseases. This study investigated age-related alterations in expression of myelin basic protein (MBP) in the hippocampal subregions (dentate gyrus, CA2/3 and CA1 areas) of ...

Autophagic degradation of CNS myelin maintains axon integrity

Cell Stress, 2022
(Macro)autophagy is a major lysosome-dependent degradation mechanism which engulfs, removes and recycles unwanted cytoplasmic material, including damaged organelles and toxic protein aggregates.

Endogenous interferon-β-inducible gene expression and interferon-β-treatment are associated with reduced T cell responses to myelin basic protein in multiple sclerosis.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Autoreactive CD4+ T-cells are considered to play a major role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. In experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, an animal model of multiple sclerosis, exogenous and endogenous type I interferons restrict disease ...

Lethal adulthood myelin breakdown by oligodendrocyte-specific Ddx54 knockout

iScience, 2023
Summary: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a leading disease that causes disability in young adults. We have previously shown that a DEAD-box RNA helicase Ddx54 binds to mRNA and protein isoforms of myelin basic protein (MBP) and that Ddx54 siRNA blocking ...

Axin2 as regulatory and therapeutic target in newborn brain injury and remyelination. [PDF]

, 2011
Permanent damage to white matter tracts, comprising axons and myelinating oligodendrocytes, is an important component of brain injuries of the newborn that cause cerebral palsy and cognitive disabilities, as well as multiple sclerosis in adults. However,

How Does Protein Zero Assemble Compact Myelin?

Cells, 2020
Myelin protein zero (P0), a type I transmembrane protein, is the most abundant protein in peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelin—the lipid-rich, periodic structure of membrane pairs that concentrically encloses long axonal segments.

Phosphorylation of Myelin Basic Protein

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1974
Myelin membranes prepared from rat brain possess both the enzyme and substrates to incorporate 32P from [γ-32P]ATP into membrane protein constituents. Of the myelin polypeptides, only the two basic proteins were phosphorylated; and both components appeared to be equally good substrates for endogenous or added protein kinases.

Recombinant human PDCD5 (rhPDCD5) protein is protective in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis. [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundIn multiple sclerosis (MS) and its widely used animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), autoreactive T cells contribute importantly to central nervous system (CNS) tissue damage and disease progression. Promoting apoptosis
