Abstract
The primary cilium (PC) has emerged as an indispensable cellular antenna essential for signal transduction of important cell signaling pathways. The rapid acquisition of knowledge about PC biology has raised attention to PC as a therapeutic target in some neurological and psychiatric diseases. However, the role of PC in oligodendrocytes and its participation in myelination/remyelination remain poorly understood. Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) give rise to oligodendrocytes during central nervous system (CNS) development. In adult, a small percentage of OPCs remains as undifferentiated cells located sparsely in the different regions of the CNS. These cells can regenerate oligodendrocytes and participate to certain extent in remyelination. This study aims characterize PC in oligodendrocyte lineage cells during post-natal development and in a mouse model of demyelination/remyelination. We show heterogeneity in the frequency of cilium presence on OPCs, depending on culture conditions in vitro and cerebral regions in vivo during development and demyelination/remyelination. In vitro, Lithium chloride (LiCl), Forskolin and Chloral Hydrate differentially affect cilium, depending on culture environment and PC length correlates with the cell differentiation state. Beside the role of PC as a keeper of cell proliferation, our results suggest its involvement in myelination/remyelination.

Abstract
Increasing findings suggest that demyelination may play an important role in the pathophysiology of brain injury, but the exact mechanisms underlying such damage are not well known. Mechanical tensile strain of brain tissue occurs during traumatic brain injury. Several studies have investigated the cellular and molecular events following a static tensile strain of physiological magnitude on individual cells such as oligodendrocytes. However, the pathobiological impact of high-magnitude mechanical strain on oligodendrocytes and myelinated fibers remains under investigated. In this study, we reported that an applied mechanical tensile strain of 30% on mouse organotypic culture of cerebellar slices induced axonal injury and elongation of paranodal junctions, two hallmarks of brain trauma. It was also able to activate MAPK-ERK1/2 signaling, a stretch-induced responsive pathway. The same tensile strain applied to mouse oligodendrocytes in primary culture induced a profound damage to cell morphology, partial cell loss, and a decrease of myelin protein expression. The lower tensile strain of 20% also caused cell loss and the remaining oligodendrocytes appeared retracted with decreased myelin protein expression. Finally, high-magnitude tensile strain applied to 158N oligodendroglial cells altered myelin protein expression, dampened MAPK-ERK1/2 and MAPK-p38 signaling, and enhanced the production of reactive oxygen species. The latter was accompanied by increased protein oxidation and an alteration of anti-oxidant defense that was strain magnitude-dependent. In conclusion, mechanical stretch of high magnitude provokes axonal injury with significant alterations in oligodendrocyte biology that could initiate demyelination.

Abstract
X-ALD is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder where mutations in the ABCD1 gene result in clinically diverse phenotypes: the fatal disorder of cerebral childhood ALD (cALD) or a milder disorder of adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN). The various models used to study the pathobiology of X-ALD disease lack the appropriate presentation for different phenotypes of cALD vs AMN. This study demonstrates that induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSC) derived brain cells astrocytes (Ast), neurons and oligodendrocytes (OLs) express morphological and functional activities of the respective brain cell types. The excessive accumulation of saturated VLCFA, a "hallmark" of X-ALD, was observed in both AMN OLs and cALD OLs with higher levels observed in cALD OLs than AMN OLs. The levels of ELOVL1 (ELOVL Fatty Acid Elongase 1) mRNA parallel the VLCFA load in AMN and cALD OLs. Furthermore, cALD Ast expressed higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines than AMN Ast and control Ast with or without stimulation with lipopolysaccharide. These results document that IPSC-derived Ast and OLs from cALD and AMN fibroblasts mimic the respective biochemical disease phenotypes and thus provide an ideal platform to investigate the mechanism of VLCFA load in cALD OLs and VLCFA-induced inflammatory disease mechanisms of cALD Ast and thus for testing of new therapeutics for AMN and cALD disease of X-ALD.

Abstract
Disease-cell models that recapitulate specific molecular phenotypes are essential for the investigation of molecular pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases including lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) with predominant neurological manifestations. Herein we report the development and characterization of a cell model for a rapid neurodegenerative LSDs, globoid-cell leukodystrophy (GLD), mostly known as Krabbe disease. GLD is caused by the deficiency of β-galactocerebrosidase (GALC), a lysosomal enzyme that hydrolyzes two glycosphingolipids, psychosine and galactosylceramide. Unfortunately, the available culture fibroblasts from GLD patients consist of a limited research tool as these cells fail to accumulate psychosine, the central pathogenic glycosphingolipid in this LSD that results in severe demyelination. Firstly, we obtained brain samples from the Twitcher (Twi) mice (GALC(twi/twi)), the natural mouse model with GALC deficiency. We immortalized the primary neuroglial cultured cells with SV40 large T antigen, generating the 145M-Twi and the 145C-Wt cell lines from the Twi and control mice, respectively. Both cell lines expressed specific oligodendrocyte markers including A2B5 and GalC. The 145M-Twi cells showed biochemical and cellular disturbances related to GLD neuropathogenesis including remarkable caspase-3 activation, release of cytochrome C into the cytosol and expansion of the lysosomal compartment. Under treatment with glycosphingolipids, 145M-Twi cells showed increased LC3B levels, a marker of autophagy. Using the LC-MS/MS method that we developed, the 145M-Twi cells showed significantly higher levels of psychosine. The 145M-Twi and 145C-Wt lines allowed the development of a robust throughput LC-MS/MS assay to measure cellular psychosine levels. In this throughput assay, l-cycloserine showed to significantly reduce the 145M-Twi cellular levels of psychosine. The established 145M-Twi cells are powerful research tools to investigate the neurologically relevant pathogenic pathways as well as to develop primary screening assays for the identification of therapeutic agents for GLD and potentially other glycosphingolipid disorders.

Abstract
A transgenic mouse line (Oligo-TTK) was established to monitor oligodendrocyte cell death and myelin formation in the CNS. The expression of a conditionally toxic gene, the herpes simplex virus-1 thymidine kinase (HSV1-TK), was made under control of the MBP (myelin basic protein) gene promoter. A truncated form of the HSV1-TK (TTK) gene was used to avoid both bystander effect resulting from leaking in thymidine kinase activity and sterility in transgenic males observed in previous transgenic mice. The transgene was expressed in the CNS with a restricted localization in oligodendrocytes. Oligodendrocyte proliferation and myelin formation are therefore tightly controlled experimentally by administration of ganciclovir (GCV) via the induction of oligodendrocyte cell death. The most severe and irreversible hypomyelination was obtained when GCV was given daily from postnatal day 1 (P1) to P30. Oligodendrocyte plasticity and myelin recovery were analyzed in another phenotype generated by GCV treatment from P1 to P15. In this model, after dysmyelination, an apparent normal behavior was restored with no visible pathological symptoms by P30. Proliferating cells, which may be implicated in myelin repair in this model, are detected primarily in myelin tracts expressing the oligodendrocyte phenotype. Therefore, the endogenous potential of oligodendrocytes to remyelinate was clearly demonstrated in the mice of this study.

Abstract
Oligodendrocytes, the myelin-forming cells in the central nervous system, were visualized with excellent resolution at the light microscopic level using in situ hybridization (ISH). Digoxigenin (Dig)-tagged probes were synthesized and efficiently labeled by PCR. Specific probes to myelin genes were made by RT from brain total RNAs, followed by PCR with designed specific primers in the presence of Dig-11-dUTP. Probes specific to proteolipid protein (PLP), PLP and its isoform DM20 (PLP/DM20), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) were synthesized and labeled. ISH was then applied on vibratomed tissue sections from mouse brains. Despite a low expression of MOG-specific and PLP-specific mRNAs in adult and newborn mouse brains, an oligodendrocyte population was detected. The specificity of Dig-labeled probes was confirmed with the double labeling of carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunocytochemistry and ISH. This versatile and easy method for synthesis and labeling of specific probes to oligodendrocytes can be also applied to detect many other mRNAs in the nervous system and in other tissues.

Abstract
The synthesis, transport, and insertion of jimpy proteolipid protein and DM20 were studied in normal (158N) and jimpy (158JP) immortalized oligodendrocyte lines. Four different expression vectors encoding fusion proteins composed of native PLP and DM20 or jimpy PLP or DM20 were linked to enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). All four transfected fusion proteins had similar distributions in the cell bodies and processes of the two cell types. Both normal and jimpy PLP-EGFP and DM20-EGFP were detected in both cell lines as far as 200 microM from the cell body, indicating synthesis and transport of mutated PLP and DM20 toward the plasma membrane. Immunocytochemistry of fixed normal and jimpy cells with the O10 antibody, which recognizes a conformationally sensitive PLP/DM20 epitope, confirmed that normal and jimpy PLP and DM20 were transported to the plasma membrane. Live staining of normal and jimpy cells transiently transfected with the native PLP showed positive staining, indicating PLP was correctly inserted into the membrane of both normal and jimpy oligodendrocytes. However, live staining of normal and jimpy cells transiently transfected with jimpy PLP showed no positive staining, indicating the mutated protein is abnormally inserted into the plasma membrane. Electrophysiological recordings of the resting membrane potential measured in the whole cell mode of the patch-clamp technique showed the absence of a developmentally regulated negative shift in the membrane potential in jimpy cells compared to normal native or immortalized oligodendrocytes. Treatment of 158N cells and native oligodendrocytes with dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP) caused morphological and biochemical differentiation, but failed to do so in 158JP cells, suggesting an abnormal signaling pathway in jimpy. The defect in cAMP signaling in jimpy oligodendrocytes was associated with the suppression of increase in mRNA level of the inducible cAMP early repressor (ICER). When the jimpy oligodendrocyte line was transfected with normal PLP or DM20 and exposed to dbcAMP, the cells failed to differentiate. This finding suggests that improper insertion of jimpy protein into the plasma membrane alters the membrane in such a way that certain signaling pathways are permanently altered. The abnormal insertion of jimpy PLP/DM20 into the plasma membrane may be the basis for the lack of cell signaling and abnormal resting potential in jimpy oligodendrocytes.

Abstract
Double and triple immunocytochemistry with stage-specific markers and specific antireceptor antibodies was used to study expression of nuclear thyroid hormone receptor (TR) isoforms in cultured mouse oligodendrocytes. To evaluate the coexpression of each TR isoform, antibodies were raised in rabbits and mice against specific regions of alpha1-TR and alpha2-TR common to both alpha isoforms and beta1-TR. Their specificities were assessed by Western blotting and by immunocytochemistry on rat hepatocytes. Oligodendrocyte subpopulations were found to coexpress the alpha- and beta1-TR epitopes at defined developmental stages. Both alpha- and beta1-TR isoforms are colocalized in oligodendrocytes during an early stage identified by the marker OL-1, before 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphohydrolase is expressed. Expression of beta1-TR varies during maturation, and that of alpha-TR decreases during terminal maturation.

Abstract
Normal and jimpy oligodendrocytes in secondary cultures were transfected with plasmids containing the SV40 T-antigen gene expressed under the control of the mouse metallothionein-I promoter. Two immortalized stable cell lines, a normal (158N) and jimpy (158JP) cell line, expressed transcripts and proteins of oligodendrocyte markers, including proteolipid protein (PLP), myelin basic protein (MBP), and carbonic anhydrase II (CAII). Galactocerebroside and sulfatide were also detected with immunocytochemistry. Immunoelectron microscopy using gold particles showed that the truncated endogenous jimpy PLP was distributed throughout the cytoplasm and in association with the plasma membrane of cell bodies and processes. The length of the cell cycle in the jimpy oligodendrocytes in the absence of zinc was 31 h, about a 4-h longer cell cycle than the normal line. In the presence of 100 microM zinc, the cell cycle became 3 h shorter for both cell lines, with the jimpy cell cycle duration remaining 4 h longer than the normal line. Interestingly, the jimpy cell line showed a significant deficiency in stimulation via the cAMP pathway. While the level of oligodendrocyte markers (PLP, MBP, and CAII) were significantly increased by dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP) treatment in the normal cell line, no changes were observed in the jimpy cell lines. This observation, together with previous results showing jimpy oligodendrocyte's failure to respond to basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), suggests a role for PLP in a signal transduction pathway. Jimpy and normal oligodendrocytes transfected with the SV40T antigen gene, driven by the wild-type promoter of mouse metallothionein-I, continue to express properties of oligodendrocytes and therefore provide a powerful model to explore the function of myelin proteins and to dissect the complexity of the jimpy phenotype.

Abstract
In previous work we found that mezerein, a C kinase activator, as well as basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) induce demyelination and partial oligodendrocyte dedifferentiation in highly differentiated aggregating brain cell cultures. Here we show that following protein kinase C activator-induced demyelination, effective remyelination occurs. We found that mezerein or FGF-2 caused a transient increase in DNA synthesis following a pronounced decrease of the myelin markers myelin basic protein and 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphohydrolase. Both oligodendrocytes and astrocytes were involved in this mitogenic response. Within 17 days after demyelination, myelin was restored to the level of the untreated controls. Transient mitotic activity was indispensable for remyelination. The present results suggest that myelinating oligodendrocytes retain the capacity to reenter the cell cycle, and that this plasticity is important for the regeneration of the oligodendrocyte lineage and remyelination. Although it cannot be excluded that a quiescent population of oligodendrocyte precursor cells was present in the aggregates and able to proliferate, differentiate and remyelinate, we could not find evidence supporting this view.

Abstract
Jimpy (jp) is a point mutation in the gene on the X chromosome which codes for the major myelin proteolipid protein. Most oligodendrocytes (OLs) in the jp mouse undergo cell death at the time when they should be actively myelinating. Loss of mature OLs results in severe CNS dysmyelination. Dying jp OLs have the morphology of apoptotic cells but it is not clear how the mutation activates biochemical pathways which lead to programmed death of OLs in jp CNS. There is compelling evidence from a number of systems that high levels of intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca2+]i) can activate downstream processes which result in both apoptotic and necrotic cell death. To determine whether [Ca2+](i) dysregulation might be involved in the death of jp OLs, we used ratiometric imaging to determine levels of [Ca2+](i) in OLs cultured from jp and normal CNS and in immortalized cell lines derived from jp and normal OLs. Immortalized jp OLs and OLs isolated directly from jp brain both showed a similar elevation in [Ca2+](i) ranging from 60% to 150% over control values. A higher baseline [Ca2+](i) in jp OLs might increase their vulnerability to other insults due to abnormal protein processing or changes in signaling pathways which act as a final trigger for cell death.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) is a multifunctional enzyme found in oligodendrocytes and astrocytes in normal mouse brains. We have begun to compare the glial cells in primary cultures from neonatal genetically CAII-deficient (Car) mice to those from normal (con) mice in order to detect developmental defects, if any, in Car glial cells. In con cultures intensely CAII-positive cells costained with antibodies against the oligodendrocytic markers, O4 and myelin basic protein (MBP), respectively. Most (82%) of the CAII-positive cells were O4-positive, but only approximately 60% were MBP-positive. Some clumps of GFAP-positive cells were CAII-positive. At each respective number of days in vitro (DIV) total numbers of O4-positive cells were similar in Car and con cultures, and total numbers of galactocerebroside-positive cells also were similar in Car and con cultures. However, compared to cells in con cultures at 7 DIV, a lower percent of Car cells in the oligodendrocyte lineage expressed MBP, and morphological differentiation also was subnormal in that the Car cells showed fewer processes and membrane sheets. Car and con cultures expressed similar numbers of MBP-positive cells by 10 DIV. The results suggest a temporary delay in the maturation of Car oligodendrocytes.

Abstract
Jimpy is a shortened life-span murine mutant showing recessive sex-linked inheritance. The genetic defect consists of a point mutation in the PLP gene and produces a severe CNS myelin deficiency that is associated with a variety of complex abnormalities affecting all glial populations. The myelin deficiency is primarily due to a failure to produce the normal amount of myelin during development. However, myelin destruction and oligodendrocyte death also account for the drastic myelin deficit observed in jimpy. The oligodendroglial cell line shows complex abnormalities in its differentiation pattern, including the degeneration of oligodendrocytes through an apoptotic mechanism. Oligodendrocytes seem to be the most likely candidate to be primarily altered in a disorder affecting myelination, but disturbances affecting astrocytes and microglia are also remarkable and may have a crucial significance in the development of the jimpy disorder. In fact, the jimpy phenotype may not be attributed to a defect in a single cell but rather to a deficiency in the normal relations between glial cells. Evidences from a variety of sources indicate that the jimpy mutant could be a model for disturbed glial development in the CNS. The accurate knowledge of the significance of PLP and its regulation during development must be of vital importance in order to understand glial abnormalities in jimpy.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) is unknown. Searching for possible toxic factors, it was found that 3-day exposure to heat-treated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from MS patients caused apoptotic death of astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, but not fibroblasts, myoblasts, Schwann cells, endothelial cells and neurons, in vitro. CSFs from other inflammatory or non-inflammatory neurological diseases showed no toxicity. Exposure of these glial cells to partially purified MS CSF produced DNA fragmentation, apoptotic bodies, chromatin condensation, cell shrinkage, and changes in the levels of known cytokines. A cytotoxic factor, called gliotoxin, was characterized chromatographically as a stable 17-kDa glycoprotein. Since this protein is highly cytotoxic for astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, it may represent an initial pathogenic factor, leading to the neuropathological features of MS, such as blood-brain barrier involvement and demyelination.

Abstract
Severe hypomyelination in the jimpy (jp) mouse mutation results from premature death of most oligodendrocytes (OCs). We have applied an immunopanning technique to successfully purify oligodendroblasts (OBs) directly from neonatal jp brainstem in order to determine if their death during differentiation into OCs is preventable in culture by diffusible oligodendrogliotrophic factors. No significant differences in the yield (0.9-1.1 x 10(5) cells/brainstem) or viability (approximately 90%) of OB populations from jp and wild-type (wt) littermates were observed, indicating that cell death occurs at a later stage in the mutant lineage. When cultured in a basally defined, insulin-containing medium, wt and jp OBs died 1-2 days later as their differentiation into GalC+ OCs began. Survival was not enhanced by known trophic factors (ciliary neurotrophic factor, leukemia inhibitory factor, neurotrophin-3) for differentiating rat OCs. In medium conditioned by neonatally derived rat or wt mouse astrocytes, however, wt OBs survived terminal OC differentiation, expressing first GalC, then DM-20/PLP on their surface 1-2 days later, before elaborating myelin-like membrane. By contrast, jp OBs in sister cultures survived differentiation initially as well as their normal counterparts did but rapidly died thereafter, beginning at the time when PLP/DM-20 immunoreactivity became detectable on premature wt GalC+ OCs. Additionally under these conditions, there survived a minor population (<5%) of jp cells, including mature OCs, which expressed stunted membranes and DM-20/PLP immunoreactivity in their cytoplasm, and undifferentiated progenitors. This model supports the concept that OC death in jp is effected by an intrinsic program, one mechanistically related to jp PLP/DM-20 gene expression and refractory to trophic cues in the environment.

Abstract
The expression of beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaAPP) by astrocytes is well documented; however, data concerning oligodendrocytes remain controversial. The main goal of the present study was to determine whether or not oligodendrocytes in culture constitutively express the different betaAPP isoforms. Oligodendrocytes were cultured in a chemically defined medium that avoids putative effects of unknown serum factors on oligodendrocyte development. We have employed immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization with antibodies and synthetic oligonucleotides recognizing, respectively, specific protein epitopes and mRNA transcripts of rat betaAPP isoforms. Oligodendrocytes, in both mixed primary cultures in the presence of serum or in secondary cultures in defined medium, were clearly labeled by antibodies directed to different betaAPP sequences. Antibodies against the serine protease inhibitor domain of betaAPP, also strongly labelled oligodendrocytes. Immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization were combined to determine precisely the expression of different isoforms of betaAPP. In situ hybridization revealed the presence in oligodendrocytes of mRNA transcripts coding not only for betaAPP695 but also for betaAPP770 and betaAPP751. This indicates that betaAPP immunoreactivity found in oligodendrocytes corresponds to constitutive expression of betaAPP. Oligodendrocyte cultured in chemically defined medium are able to express not only betaAPP695 but also betaAPP770, betaAPP751 isoforms containing the Kunitz protease inhibitor domain. Although the role of betaAPP in the pathological processes of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains unknown, possible disturbances of betaAPP processing and/or synthesis in oligodendrocytes may account for some myelin disorders observed in AD and other senile dementias.

Abstract
In investigating a possible link between a novel retroviral agent (provisionally called MSRV), recently characterised in multiple sclerosis (MS), and the neuropathology of MS, it was found that there was a significant correlation between gliotoxicity and reverse transcriptase activity in monocyte/macrophage culture supernatants (MMCS) unique to MS patients. MMCS from healthy controls and patients with other neurological diseases did not display either gliotoxicity or reverse transcriptase activity. The observed gliotoxic effect was an initial, intermediate filament network disorganization and subsequent cell death which was specific to astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. The reverse transcriptase activity and MSRV-specific RNA were observed during the first 2 weeks of culture in MMCS from patients with active MS. The further elucidation of the molecular form(s) of this gliotoxic factor and its original source may be crucial in elucidating important etiopathogenic mechanisms in MS.

Abstract
Oligodendrocytes which form myelin within the CNS develop from small, highly motile cells that are largely bipolar into mature cells which extend many processes and which produce myelin membranes around multiple axons. The production of myelin sheaths is thought to anchor mature oligodendrocytes (OLs), limiting their motility. When the brain sustains an injury, OLs do not make a significant effort to remyelinate, a fact attributed to both their lack of proliferation and their inability to migrate or extend processes into areas of injury. To test the motility and growth potential of mature OLs, we have designed an in vitro system in which individual cells can undergo long-term observation. Additionally, cells can be mechanically injured by transection of processes using a low-power laser beam. Both control and injured OLs undergo several types of structural change, including extension and retraction of processes and membranes, as well as changes in process caliber. Some OLs exhibit a high degree of motility, moving several hundred micrometers within days. Rather than interfering with the cells' ability to undergo structural change, injury actually stimulated outgrowth of new processes and motility. Neither injury nor addition of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) increased the rate of OL division. However, bFGF paradoxically caused an increase in uptake of the DNA synthesis marker bromodeoxyuridine and had negative effects on OL survival. The unexpected findings that OLs with a mature phenotype are motile and undergo constant structural modification in vitro and that injury induces certain behaviors suggest that myelin-forming OLs in the brain may be capable of a high degree of plasticity under certain conditions.

Abstract
Proteolipid protein (PLP) has been postulated to play a critical role in the early differentiation of oligodendrocytes (OLs) in addition to its known role as a structural component of myelin. To identify this early function, we blocked the synthesis of PLP in glial cultures with antisense oligodeoxynucleotides that targeted the PLP initiation codon. Primary glial cultures were incubated with phosphorothioate-protected oligodeoxynucleotides (S-ODNs) for up to 11 d. PLP in OLs was reduced >90%. OLs treated with antisense S-ODNs appeared strikingly healthy as judged by (1) immunocytochemical staining for myelin glycolipids and myelin basic protein, (2) their prolonged survival compared with untreated cultures, and (3) their ability to re-establish membrane sheets after removal of the S-ODNs. Our studies show that PLP is required for elaboration and stability of the myelin membrane sheets made by most OLs, but it is not necessary for the network of processes established by OLs. More importantly, the number of OLs in the antisense-treated cultures was nearly sevenfold greater after a 10-11 d incubation with S-ODNs than in control cultures. The number of proliferating OL progenitors was not increased in the antisense-treated cultures, indicating that the increase in the number of OLs was attributable to prolonged OL survival. The tissue culture studies reveal that the absence of PLP/DM20 has the positive effect of promoting OL survival but the negative effect of preventing their full differentiation. This finding clarifies many of the paradoxical findings seen in the PLP mutants, the PLP overexpressers, and the PLP- animals.
