Oligodendrocytes in HIV-associated pain pathogenesis
Molecular Pain, 2016 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 ...

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.

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 ...

Myelin pathology: Involvement of molecular chaperones and the promise of chaperonotherapy [PDF]
, 2019 The process of axon myelination involves various proteins including molecular chaperones. Myelin alteration is a common feature in neurological diseases due to structural and functional abnormalities of one or more myelin proteins.

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.

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,

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...
