Background The contribution of native or modified oligodendroglia-derived extracellular vesicles (OL-EVs) in controlling chronic inflammation is poorly understood. In activated microglia, OL-EVs contribute to the removal of cytotoxic proteins following a

Oligodendroglia metabolically support axons and contribute to neurodegeneration [PDF]
Oligodendroglia support axon survival and function through mechanisms independent of myelination, and their dysfunction leads to axon degeneration in several diseases. The cause of this degeneration has not been determined, but lack of energy metabolites such as glucose or lactate has been proposed. Lactate is transported exclusively by monocarboxylate

Melanocortins, Melanocortin Receptors and Multiple Sclerosis
The melanocortins and their receptors have been extensively investigated for their roles in the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis, but to a lesser extent in immune cells and in the nervous system outside the hypothalamic axis.

SIRT2, tubulin deacetylation, and oligodendroglia differentiation [PDF]
AbstractThe mammalian silent information regulator 2 (SIRT2) is an NAD‐dependent histone deacetylase with known roles in the regulation of the cell cycle. SIRT2 is also a tubulin deacetylase functioning as an early mitotic checkpoint, but its roles in regulating cytoplasmic microtubule dynamics were unknown.

Uncovering the Role of Sox2 in Oligodendroglia [PDF]
In the CNS, oligodendrocytes are responsible for the formation of myelin. To build these insulating sheaths surrounding axons, cells of the oligodendrocyte lineage must go through an intricate and temporally matched sequence of proliferation, migration, differentiation, and myelination ...

Live-cell metabolic analysis of oligodendroglia isolated from postnatal mouse brain and spinal cord
Summary: This protocol describes isolation and live-cell metabolic analysis of O4+ oligodendroglia from brain and spinal cord of postnatal mice. We have optimized existing protocols for O4+ isolation from neonatal brain and expanded the protocol to ...

Early proliferation does not prevent the loss of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells during the chronic phase of secondary degeneration in a CNS white matter tract. [PDF]
Partial injury to the central nervous system (CNS) is exacerbated by additional loss of neurons and glia via toxic events known as secondary degeneration.

Oligodendroglial Energy Metabolism and (re)Myelination
Central nervous system (CNS) myelin has a crucial role in accelerating the propagation of action potentials and providing trophic support to the axons. Defective myelination and lack of myelin regeneration following demyelination can both lead to axonal ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) are two incurable neurodegenerative disorders, often considered as the extreme manifestations of a disease spectrum, as they share similar pathomechanisms.
