Abstract
Enteric glia regulate gut functions in health and disease through diverse interactions with neurons and immune cells. Intracellular localization of traditional markers of enteric glia such as GFAP, s100b, and Sox10 makes them incompatible for studies that require antigen localization at the cell surface. Thus, new tools are needed for probing the heterogeneous roles of enteric glia at the protein, cell, and functional levels. Here we selected several cell surface antigens including Astrocyte Cell Surface Marker 2 (ACSA2), Cluster of differentiation 9 (CD9), lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPAR1), and Proteolipid protein 1 (PLP1) as potential markers of enteric glia. We tested their specificity for enteric glia using published single-cell/-nuclei and glia-specific translating mRNA enriched transcriptome datasets, immunolabeling, and flow cytometry. The data show that ACSA2 is a specific marker of mucosal and myenteric glia while other markers are suitable for identifying all subpopulations of enteric glia (LPAR1), glia and immune cells (CD9), or are not suitable for cell-surface labeling (PLP1). These new tools will be useful for future work focused on understanding specific glial functions in health and disease.Summary StatementThis study identifies astrocyte cell surface antigen 2 as a novel marker of myenteric glia in the intestine. This, in combination with other markers identified in this study, could be used for selective targeting of enteric glia.

Abstract
Oligodendrocytes, the myelin-producing cells of the central nervous system (CNS), have limited capability to bring about repair in chronic CNS neuroinflammatory demyelinating disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS). MS lesions are characterized by a compromised pool of undifferentiated oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) unable to mature into myelin-producing oligodendrocytes. An attractive strategy may be to replace lost OLs and/or promote their maturation. N-palmitoylethanolamine (PEA) is an endogenous fatty acid amide signaling molecule with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective actions. Recent studies show a co-ultramicronized composite of PEA and the flavonoid luteolin (co-ultraPEALut) to be more efficacious than PEA in improving outcome in CNS injury models. Here, we examined the effects of co-ultraPEALut on development of OPCs from newborn rat cortex cultured under conditions favoring either differentiation (Sato medium) or proliferation (fibroblast growth factor-2 and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-AA-supplemented serum-free medium ("SFM")). OPCs in SFM displayed high expression of PDGF receptor alpha gene and the proliferation marker Ki-67. In Sato medium, in contrast, OPCs showed rapid decreases in PDGF receptor alpha and Ki-67 expression with a concomitant rise in myelin basic protein (MBP) expression. In these conditions, co-ultraPEALut (10 μM) enhanced OPC morphological complexity and expression of MBP and the transcription factor TCF7l2. Surprisingly, co-ultraPEALut also up-regulated MBP mRNA expression in OPCs in SFM. MBP expression in all cases was sensitive to inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin. Within the context of strategies to promote endogenous remyelination in MS which focus on enhancing long-term survival of OPCs and stimulating their differentiation into remyelinating oligodendrocytes, co-ultraPEALut may represent a novel pharmacological approach.

Abstract
The mechanisms regulating differentiation of multipotent oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) into mature oligodendrocytes (OLs) are critical to our understanding of myelination and remyelination. Following acute demyelination in the central nervous system, adult OPCs migrate to the injury site, differentiate into OLs and generate new myelin sheaths. A common feature of regenerative processes is the fact that remyelination efficiency declines with aging and, accounts for the observation that chronic demyelinating diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS) are characterized by an ineffective remyelination. Without doubt, impairment of OPC differentiation is an essential determinant of the aging effects in remyelination. However, spontaneous remyelination is limited in demyelinating diseases such as MS, owing in part to the failure of adult OPCs to differentiate into myelinating OLs. The inability to restore myelin after injury compromises axon integrity and renders them vulnerable to degeneration. Although the genes that regulate the proliferation and differentiation of OPCs during development have been intensively studied, relatively little is known about the molecular signals that regulate the function of adult OPCs after demyelination. Elucidating the mechanisms regulating OPC differentiation are key to identifying pharmacological targets for remyelination-enhancing therapy. This review will discuss OPC biology, myelination, and possible pharmacological targets for promoting the differentiation of OPCs as a strategy to enhance remyelination, including the potential for nanoscale delivery.

Abstract
Oligodendrocytes have limited ability to repair the damage to themselves or to other nerve cells, as seen in demyelinating diseases like multiple sclerosis. An important strategy may be to replace the lost oligodendrocytes and/or promote the maturation of undifferentiated oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). Recent studies show that a composite of co-ultramicronized N-palmitoylethanolamine (PEA) and luteolin (co-ultramicronized PEA/luteolin, 10:1 by mass) is efficacious in improving outcome in experimental models of spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries. Here, we examined the ability of co-ultramicronized PEA/luteolin to promote progression of OPCs into a more differentiated phenotype. OPCs derived from newborn rat cortex were placed in culture and treated the following day with 10 μM co-ultramicronized PEA/luteolin. Cells were collected 1, 4 and 8 days later and analyzed for expression of myelin basic protein (MBP). qPCR and Western blot analyses revealed a time-dependent increase in expression of both mRNA for MBP and MBP content, along with an increased expression of genes involved in lipid biogenesis. Ultramicronized PEA or luteolin, either singly or in simple combination, were ineffective. Further, co-ultramicronized PEA/luteolin promoted morphological development of OPCs and total protein content without affecting proliferation. Co-ultramicronized PEA/luteolin may represent a novel pharmacological strategy to promote OPC maturation.

Abstract
Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease is a severe X-linked disorder of central myelination caused by mutations affecting the proteolipid protein gene. We describe 3 new PLP1 splicing mutations, their effect on splicing and associated phenotypes. Mutation c.453_453+6del7insA affects the exon 3B donor splice site and disrupts the PLP1-transcript without affecting the DM20, was found in a patient with severe Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease and in his female cousin with early-onset spastic paraparesis. Mutation c.191+1G>A causes exon 2 skipping with a frame shift, is expected to result in a functionally null allele, and was found in a patient with mild Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease and in his aunt with late-onset spastic paraparesis. Mutation c.696+1G>A utilizes a cryptic splice site in exon 5, causes partial exon 5 skipping and in-frame deletion, and was found in an isolated patient with a severe classical Pelizaeus-Merzbacher. PLP1 splice-site mutations express a variety of disease phenotypes mediated by different molecular pathogenic mechanisms.

Abstract
Substantial biological data indicate that the myelin basic protein (MBP) and myelin proteolipid protein (PLP/DM20) genes produce products with functions beyond that of serving as myelin structural proteins. Much of this evidence comes from studies on naturally-occurring and man-made mutations of these genes in mice and other species. This review focuses upon recent evidence showing the existence of other products of these genes that may account for some of these other functions, and recent studies providing evidence for alternative biological functions of PLP/DM20. The MBP and PLP/DM20 genes each encode the classic MBP and PLP isoforms, as well as a second family of proteins that are not involved in myelin structure. The biological roles of these other products of the genes are becoming clarified. The non-classic MBP gene products appear to be components of transcriptional complexes in the nucleus, and they also may be involved in signaling pathways in T-cells and in neural cells. The non-classic PLP/DM20 gene products appear to be components of intracellular transport vesicles in oligodendrocytes. There is evidence for other functions of the classic PLP/DM20 proteins, including a role in neural cell death mechanisms, autocrine and paracrine regulation of oligodendrocytes and neurons, intracellular transport and oligodendrocyte migration.

Abstract
While the effects of high dose X-irradiation on mitotically active progenitor cells and remyelination are well-documented, its effects on myelinating oligodendrocytes are less clear, due in part to divergent views on their mitotic capacity. To examine the effect of X-irradiation on oligodendrocytes, the spinal cord of rats was exposed to 40 Gy of X-irradiation and the number of oligodendrocytes and oligodendrocyte progenitors in the dorsal funiculi at T12 and L1 was determined by in situ hybridization using cRNA-probes for platelet derived growth factor alpha receptor (PDGFRalpha) (to identify oligodendrocyte progenitors), exon 3b of proteolipid protein (PLP) (to identify mature oligodendrocytes) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG). X-irradiation resulted in no change in the number of PLP positive cells and no loss of myelin internodes, but caused an almost complete loss of PDGFRalpha-expressing cells, and a reduction in the number of MOG positive cells to a number similar to that found using the PLP exon 3b probe. Importantly, the number of radiation-sensitive MOG-expressing cells was similar to the number of PDGFRalpha positive cells. To determine if the radiation-sensitive MOG positive cells were the same population as the radiation sensitive PDGFRalpha-expressing cells, MOG and PDGFRalpha-expressing cells were isolated from the adult CNS using antibody coated magnetic beads. Twelve to thirteen percent of MOG positive cells were PDGFRalpha positive and nearly all the PDGFRa isolated cells were MOG and galactocerebroside positive. Double immunofluorescence revealed colocalization of NG2 and MOG on cells in the normal adult rat spinal cord. These results show that in situ in the adult rat spinal cord white matter oligodendrocyte progenitors are MOG positive and indicates that expression of MOG cannot be regarded a marker that only identifies mature myelin-supporting oligodendrocytes in tissue.

Abstract
Adverse neurologic outcome, including cerebral palsy, is a significant contributor to long-term morbidity in preterm neonates. However, the mechanisms leading to brain injury in the setting of a preterm birth are poorly understood. In the last decade, there has been a growing body of evidence correlating infection or inflammation with preterm birth. The presence of intrauterine inflammation significantly increases the risk for adverse neurologic outcome in the neonate. These studies were performed to elucidate the early signal transduction pathways activated in the fetal brain that may result in long-term neurologic injury. Using our mouse model of localized intrauterine inflammation, the activation of TH1/TH2 pathways in the placenta, fetus corpus, fetal liver, and fetal brain was investigated. Additional studies determined whether activation of TH1/TH2 pathways could promote cell death and alter glial development. Real-time PCR studies demonstrated that a robust TH1/TH2 response occurs rapidly in the fetal brain after exposure to intrauterine inflammation. The cytokine response in the fetus and placenta was not significantly correlated with the response in the fetal brain. Along with an immune response, cell death pathways were activated early in the fetal brain in response to intrauterine LPS. Implicating TH1/TH2 and cell death pathways in permanent brain injury are our findings of an increase in GFAP mRNA and protein as well as a loss of pro-oligodendrocytes. With increased understanding of the mechanisms by which inflammation promotes brain injury in the preterm neonate, identification of potential targets to limit adverse neonatal outcomes becomes possible.

Abstract
The factors regulating the expression and splicing of the major myelin gene, proteolipid protein (Plp), are unclear. The gene encodes two splice variants, Plp and Dm20. During active myelination, transcription of the Plp gene is markedly upregulated and the splice variant ratio becomes Plp-mRNA dominant. We hypothesised that these aspects of Plp gene regulation are linked to overt axonal contact. Using the developing optic nerve of mice, we demonstrate that alignment of oligodendroglial processes with the axon correlates with both the expression of Plp-mRNA and the transcriptional upregulation of the gene. We test the above hypothesis more extensively in a subsequent study.

Abstract
Following spinal cord trauma there is controversy as to whether myelin-supporting oligodendrocytes at a distance from areas of spinal cord damage undergo apoptosis. To examine the response of oligodendrocytes to axon degeneration, we counted the number of oligodendrocytes and oligodendrocyte precursors in the dorsal funiculi during the course of Wallerian degeneration. Axons were disrupted at T13 and the number of labelled cells in the dorsal funiculi counted at T12, 4 days and 2, 4, and 8 weeks after injury using riboprobes to exon-3b of the PLP gene whose expression is considered to restricted to myelin-supporting oligodendrocytes, PDGFRalpha which is regarded as a marker of oligodendrocyte precursors, and MOG a marker previously used to identify myelin-supporting oligodendrocytes. We found that the number of PLP-exon-3b labelled cells remained constant during the course of Wallerian degeneration while the number of cells labelled with the riboprobes to PDGFRalpha and MOG increased. Significantly the number of MOG-positive cells was increased at times when the number of PDGFRalpha labelled cells was highest. The number of PDGFRalpha labelled cells decreased with time while the number PLP-exon-3b labelled cells remained constant. It is therefore possible that the apoptotic oligodendrocytes identified in previous studies could represent degenerating oligodendrocyte precursors or their progeny rather than degenerating myelin-supporting oligodendrocytes.

Abstract
We report an autopsied case of a 21-gestational-week fetus with duplication of the proteolipid protein (PLP) gene (PLP1). An immunohistochemical study, which can detect the specific expression of PLP, myelin basic protein, myelin-associated glycoprotein, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha subunit in brain tissues, showed that the myelination was almost the same as that of age-matched controls. This result suggests that the development and migration of the oligodendrocyte is normal in Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease until midgestation. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the myelination of a fetus with duplication of the PLP1 gene.

Abstract
Proteolipid protein (PLP1) and its alternatively spliced isoform, DM20, are the major myelin proteins in the CNS, but are also expressed in the PNS. The proteins have an identical sequence except for 35 amino acids in PLP1 (the PLP1-specific domain) not present in DM20. Mutations of PLP1/DM20 cause Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease (PMD), a leukodystrophy, and in some instances, a peripheral neuropathy. To identify which mutations cause neuropathy, we have evaluated a cohort of patients with PMD and PLP1 mutations for the presence of neuropathy. As shown previously, all patients with PLP1 null mutations had peripheral neuropathy. We also identified 4 new PLP1 point mutations that cause both PMD and peripheral neuropathy, three of which truncate PLP1 expression within the PLP1-specific domain, but do not alter DM20. The fourth, a splicing mutation, alters both PLP1 and DM20, and is probably a null mutation. Six PLP1 point mutations predicted to produce proteins with an intact PLP1-specific domain do not cause peripheral neuropathy. Sixty-one individuals with PLP1 duplications also had normal peripheral nerve function. These data demonstrate that expression of PLP1 but not DMSO is necessary to prevent neuropathy, and suggest that the 35 amino acid PLP1-specific domain plays an important role in normal peripheral nerve function.

Abstract
The hereditary spastic paraplegias are a group of neurodegenerative conditions that all share the principal clinical feature of progressive lower limb spastic paralysis, caused by either failure of development or progressive degeneration of the corticospinal tract. The conditions are characterised by extreme genetic heterogeneity, with at least 20 genes involved. Until recently, no functional overlap was apparent in the associated molecular pathological mechanisms. However, with recent progress in hereditary spastic paraplegia gene identification, common pathological themes are now emerging.

Abstract
The myelin-deficient (MD) rat has a point mutation in its proteolipid protein (PLP) gene that causes severe dysmyelination and oligodendrocyte cell death. Using an in vitro model, we have shown that MD oligodendrocytes initially differentiate similarly to wild-type cells, expressing galactocerebroside, 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase, and myelin basic protein. However, at the time when PLP expression would normally begin, the MD oligodendrocytes die via an apoptotic pathway involving caspase activation. The active form of caspase-3 was detected, along with the cleavage products of poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and spectrin, major targets of caspase-mediated proteolysis. A specific inhibitor of casapse-3, Ac-DEVD-CMK, reduced apoptosis in MD oligodendrocytes, but the rescued cells did not mature fully or express myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein. These results suggest that mutant PLP affects not only cell death but also oligodendrocyte differentiation.

Abstract
Alternative splicing of the precursor for messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) is a common process utilised by higher eukaryotes to modulate gene expression. A single primary transcript may generate several proteins with distinct functions, expressed in tissue-specific, developmental patterns. This article describes an oligodendrocyte-specific pre-mRNA product of proteolipid protein gene (P/p) transcription, which is the precursor for P/p but not Dm20 mRNA in the CNS. This P/p-specific pre-mRNA (Ppm-1) includes the intact intron 3 of the P/p gene. It is first expressed during active myelination, and it localises to the nucleus of oligodendrocytes, in both normal and jimpy (jp) murine CNS. In addition to mouse, Ppm-1 is found also in rat and dog, but not toad or trout. Our work suggests that alternative splicing of the P/p gene primary transcript follows a branching pattern, resulting in the presence of at least one P/p isoform-specific pre-mRNA molecule, Ppm-1. Therefore, Dm20 mRNA may be the product of a divergent set of pre-mRNA splicing events.

Abstract
The myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) gene (i.e., the PLP/DM20 gene) has been of some interest because of its role in certain human demyelinating diseases, such as Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease. A substantial amount of evidence, including neuronal pathology in knock-out and transgenic animals, suggests the gene also has functions unrelated to myelin structure, but the products of the gene responsible for these putative functions have not yet been identified. Here we report the identification of a new exon of the PLP/DM20 gene and at least two new products of the gene that contain this exon. The new exon, located between exons 1 and 2, is spliced into PLP and DM20 mRNAs creating a new translation initiation site that generates PLP and DM20 proteins with a 12 amino acid leader sequence. This leader sequence appears to target these proteins to a different cellular compartment within the cell bodies of oligodendrocytes and away from the myelin membranes. Furthermore, these new products are also expressed in a number of neuronal populations within the postnatal mouse brain, including the cerebellum, hippocampus, and olfactory system. We term these products somal-restricted PLP and DM20 proteins to distinguish them from the classic PLP and DM20 proteolipids. They represent putative candidates for some of the nonmyelin-related functions of the PLP/DM20 gene.

Abstract
To gain insights into the mechanisms of myelin repair in the CNS and to establish the extent to which this process resembles myelination in development we have examined the patterns of expression of transcripts of the major myelin proteins, myelin basic protein (MBP) and proteolipid protein (PLP) during remyelination of lysolecithin-induced demyelination in the adult rat spinal cord. Injection of 1 microliter 1% lysolecithin into the dorsal funiculus caused a dramatic decrease in levels of MBP exon 1 and MBP exon 2-containing transcripts and PLP/DM20 transcripts. Between 10 and 21 days post-lesion induction there was a gradual increase in levels of expression of all transcripts, which had returned to levels associated with normally myelinated spinal cord white matter at 21 days. These increases in levels of expression corresponded to the appearance of remyelinated axons, detected on toluidine blue-stained resin sections. Foci of high levels of expression occurred in regions of the lesion in which new myelin sheath formation was occurring, although the level of expression throughout the lesion never exceeded levels associated with myelin sheath maintenance in normal white matter due to the asynchronous pattern of remyelination. The changes in levels of expression of MBP exon 2 closely followed those of MBP exon 1. Our results indicate that (i) myelin protein gene expression associated with myelinogenesis during remyelination follows a similar pattern to that of myelinogenesis during development and that (ii) in rat models of demyelination changes of expression of MBP exon 1 and exon 2-containing transcripts are of equal value, an observation relevant to quantifying the effects of putative remyelination-enhancing strategies using the lysolecithin model.

Abstract
In a patient with connatal Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease with the same mutation in the proteolipid protein gene as in jimpy(msd) mice the immunohistochemical study of the brain demonstrated deficiencies of myelin and proteolipid protein despite good expression of myelin basic protein. The mechanism of myelination is partly disturbed by the mutation; therefore jimpy(msd) mice can be used as a suitable model for further studies in connatal Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease.

Abstract
Mutations in the proteolipid protein gene (PLP/plp), which encodes the major intrinsic membrane protein in central nervous system (CNS) myelin, cause inherited dysmyelination in mammals. One of these mutants, the myelin-deficient (md) rat, has severe dysmyelination that is associated with oligodendrocyte cell death. Using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end-labeling (TUNEL) assay, which labels apoptotic cells, we find that cell death is increased in multiple white matter tracts of md rats. The tracts that myelinate the earliest show the earliest increase in cell death, and cell death persists for at least 22 days, the lifespan of these mutant animals. In all tracts, and at all developmental ages examined, apoptotic cells expressed the markers of mature oligodendrocytes, such as myelin basic protein, myelin-associated glycoprotein, and the Rip antigen, but not chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, a marker of oligodendrocyte precursors. Mature oligodendrocytes fail to accumulate in md brain because they die before they fully mature.

Abstract
Sera of some patients with acquired sensory neuropathy, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy and motor neuron disease have high titres of IgG autoantibodies to a minor human peripheral nerve glycoprotein of approximately 36 kDa. This protein cofractionated with PNS myelin and was also found in bovine and rat nerve but not in CNS myelin or other nonneural human tissues. The N-terminal sequence revealed that this protein is related to the major myelin protein P0. Monoclonal antibodies to P0 and to the carbohydrate epitope HNK-1 did not recognize the 36-kDa protein, and the human anti-36-kDa antibodies did not bind to P0. IgG binding to this protein was not abolished after periodate oxidation or deglycosylation, suggesting that the epitope recognized by the human antibodies is peptidic. Differential glycosylation did not account for the differences in the apparent molecular weight between these two proteins. Overall our results indicate that the 36-kDa protein is a variant of P0.

Abstract
Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is an X-linked, dysmyelinating disorder of the CNS. Duplications of the proteolipid protein (PLP) gene have been found in a proportion of patients, suggesting that, in addition to coding-region or splice-site mutations, overdosage of the gene can cause PMD. We show that the duplication can be detected by interphase FISH, using a PLP probe in five patients and their four asymptomatic carrier mothers. The extent of the duplication was analyzed in each family by interphase FISH, with probes from a 1. 7-Mb region surrounding the PLP gene between markers DXS83 and DXS94. A large duplication >=500 kb was detected, with breakpoints that differed, between families, at the proximal end. Distinct separation of the duplicated PLP signals could be seen only on metaphase chromosomes in one family, providing further evidence that different duplication events are involved. Quantitative fluorescent multiplex PCR was used to confirm the duplication in patients, by the detection of increased copy number of the PLP gene. Multiallelic markers from the duplicated region were analyzed, since the identification of two alleles in an affected boy would indicate a duplication. The majority of boys were homozygous for all four markers, compared with their mothers, who were heterozygous for one to three of the markers. These results suggest that intrachromosomal rearrangements may be a common mechanism by which duplications arise in PMD. One boy was heterozygous for the PLP marker, indicating a duplication and suggesting that interchromosomal rearrangements of maternal origin also can be involved. Since duplications are a major cause of PMD, we propose that interphase FISH is a reliable method for diagnosis and identification of female carriers.

Abstract
The temporal changes in intensity of myelination of the nervous pathways in 0 to 42-day-old Wistar rats were quantitatively analyzed by immunohistochemistry with anti-proteolipid protein and compared with that obtained by immunohistochemistry with anti-myelin basic protein. Immunohistochemistry was performed on paraffin-embedded tissue according to the standard ABC technique. Intensity of myelination was examined by an image analyzing system. We analyzed nine nervous pathways: corpus callosum, optic tract, internal capsule, spinal tract of the trigeminal nerve, inferior cerebellar peduncle, cerebellar white matter, pyramidal tract, medial longitudinal fasciculus, and cuneate fasciculus. The presence of immunoreactive fibers for proteolipid protein (PLP) in the spinal tract of the trigeminal nerve, medial longitudinal fasciculus and cuneate fasciculus was noted on postnatal day 0. Those of the corpus callosum, inferior cerebellar peduncle, cerebellar white matter, pyramidal tract and internal capsule were noted on day 7, and that of optic tract on day 14. The time required to reach the intensity of myelination of day 42 was day 14 for the cuneate fasciculus, day 21 for the spinal tract of the trigeminal nerve, inferior cerebellar peduncle and medial longitudinal fasciculus, day 28 for the optic and pyramidal tracts, day 35 for the corpus callosum and day 42 for the internal capsule and cerebellar white matter. The appearance of immunoreactive fibers for PLP was usually earlier than that for myelin basic protein (MBP) and the pattern of difference between PLP and MBP can be classified into three groups: (1) their time of appearance and progress are almost the same, as in the optic tract; (2) the appearance and progress of PLP occurs earlier than those of MBP, as in the pyramidal tract; (3) the appearance of PLP occurs earlier than that of MBP, but their progress is the same. Our findings revealed that the time of appearance and progress of myelination as measured by PLP are different among the nervous pathways, and that there is also a difference between PLP and MBP. This difference between PLP and MBP may indicate a functional difference between them.

Abstract
Proteolipid protein (PLP) and its smaller isoform DM20 constitute the major myelin proteins of the CNS. Mutations of the X-linked Plp gene cause the heterogeneous syndromes of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) and spastic paraplegia (SPG) in man and similar dysmyelinating disorders in a range of animal species. A variety of mutations including missense mutations, deletions, and duplications are responsible. Missense mutations cause a predicted alteration in primary structure of the encoded protein(s) and are generally associated with early onset of signs and generalised dysmyelination. The severity of the phenotype varies according to the particular codon involved and the influence of uncharacterised modifying genes. There is some evidence that the dysmyelination results from the altered protein acquiring a novel function deleterious to the oligodendrocyte's function. Transgenic mice carrying extra copies of the Plp gene provide a valid model of PMD/SPG due to gene duplication. Depending on the gene dosage, the phenotype can vary from early onset of severe and lethal dysmyelination through to a very late onset of a tract-specific demyelination and axonal degeneration. Mice with a null mutation of the Plp gene assemble and maintain normal amounts of myelin but develop a progressive axonopathy, again demonstrating tract specificity. The results indicate that the functions of PLP are far from clear. There is good evidence that it is involved in the formation of the intraperiod line of myelin, and the results from the knockout and transgenic mice suggest a role in the interaction of oligodendrocyte and axon.

Abstract
Earlier reports on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the classical form of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease seemed to divide the patterns of the high-intensity lesions in the white matter into three subtypes: type I, diffusely hemispheric and corticospinal; type II, diffusely hemispheric without brainstem lesions; and type III, patchy in the hemispheres. The four boys presented in our study, between 10 and 17 years of age, with classical Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease, who all had a duplicated proteolipid protein gene, invariably manifested type I despite their various clinical severities. Follow-up MRI after an interval of 5 years and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy was performed in three of the patients. The white matter on the last MRI was unchanged in volume and the distribution of high-intense areas. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed no abnormal peaks. These results were consistent with the lack of definite neurologic regression in the last 5 years and with the pathologic characteristics of well-preserved axons and the absence of sclerosis. Further study is required to precisely determine whether the patterns of MRI findings can be divided into subtypes corresponding to those of proteolipid protein gene abnormalities.

Abstract
Susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS) is widely held to have a strong genetic component. While the identities of genes conferring susceptibility are currently unknown, possible candidates include those genes coding for proteins which function in central nervous system (CNS) myelin. Two such genes are the human myelin basic protein (MBP) and proteolipid protein (PLP) genes, whose products make up approximately 80% of the total protein in CNS myelin. The association of a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) 5' to the human MBP gene with MS has been the subject of conflicting reports. Here we test the hypothesis that mutations in the human MBP and PLP genes might be associated with MS by examining the entire expressed sequence of both genes by single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis, using a panel of 71 MS patients and 71 controls. We have also re-examined the VNTR region in patients and controls. Three base changes were found in the human PLP gene and nine base changes in the human MBP gene; these were essentially equally distributed between patients and controls. No preferential distribution of various alleles of the VNTR between patients and controls was found. Although intronic and regulatory regions have not been examined, it would appear unlikely that mutations in these genes coding for the two major CNS myelin proteins contribute significantly to genetic susceptibility to MS.

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.

Abstract
A point mutation in exon 3 of the proteolipid protein (PLP) gene of the myelin-deficient (md) rat leads to a failure of oligodendrocyte maturation and early death of oligodendrocytes, resulting in dysmyelination. It has been suggested that an alternative-splice isoform of PLP, known as DM-20, might be expressed in oligodendrocyte progenitors in the embryonic central nervous system (CNS), raising the possibility that early development of the oligodendrocyte lineage might also be affected in the md rat. To test this suggestion, we visualized oligodendrocyte progenitors in the embryonic md rat spinal cord and brain by in situ hybridization with a probe to the platelet-derived growth factor alpha receptor (PDGFR). We could detect no abnormalities in the time of first appearance of oligodendrocyte precursors, nor in their subsequent proliferation and dispersal throughout the CNS. These data strongly suggest that the PLP mutation in the md rat primarily or exclusively affects the later stages of oligodendrocyte lineage.

Abstract
DM-20, a product of the proteolipid protein (plp) gene, has been demonstrated in the spinal cord of the mouse embryo as early as embryonic day 12 (E12) in certain cells, some of which are identifiable as oligodendrocyte progenitors. The present work uses optic pathways of rat and mouse as well-characterized systems for the study of gliogenesis. plp gene expression was monitored with a combination of reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, in situ hybridization, and immunostaining with antibodies to different PLP peptide sequences, combined with O-2A lineage markers. In tissue sections, hybridizing cells were detected initially in the proximal optic tracts between E18 and birth and thereafter progressively in the chiasm and optic nerves. Small unbranched cells expressing DM-20 but not myelin basic protein (MBP) and probably representing progenitors were detectable by immunostaining in similar locations. With increasing postnatal ages, cells representing maturing oligodendrocytes which co-label for PLP and MBP are present in the optic pathways. In vitro analysis of freshly dissociated cells from premyelinated optic nerve demonstrated that the plp gene is expressed in some O-2A progenitor cells as well as mature oligodendrocytes. We also present evidence that increase in expression of the plp gene along the O-2A lineage differentiation is not progressive but that downregulation at the proligodendroblast (O4+/O1-) stage probably occurs. We suggest that progenitors express the dm-20 isoform while oligodendrocytes express predominantly the plp isoform. Not all progenitors express the plp gene at the times studied, indicating that the presence of DM-20 is either transitory in individual cells or that only a sub-population is involved. The function of DM-20 at this early stage of the oligodendrocyte lineage has yet to be determined.

Abstract
Spontaneous mutations that perturb myelination occur in a range of species including man, and together with engineered mutations have been used to study disease, normal myelination and axon/glial inter-relationships. Only a minority of the currently defined mutations have an apparently simple pathogenesis due to lack of a functional protein. Mutations in the myelin basic protein gene lead to a lack of protein, resulting in changes in the structure of myelin, which can be rescued by transgenic complementation. The pathogenesis of autosomal dominant and X-linked mutations affecting either oligodendrocytes or Schwann cells is more complex. Point mutations may act in a dominant negative manner and gene dosage is clearly linked to phenotypic change. Mutations in regulatory genes, such as those encoding transcription factors, can also disturb myelination by selected cell types. Other less-well studied and unexpected consequences of myelin mutations, such as seizures in mutations affecting genes expressed in Schwann cells and axonal changes associated with dysmyelination, are also considered. With the major developments in gene mapping and cloning it is now relevant to study mutations in a variety of species with the real prospect of defining their molecular basis. Examples are given of unusual, but potentially useful, uncharacterized mutations in dog and bovine.

Abstract
We have established a new permanent cell line (OLN-93), derived from spontaneously transformed cells in primary rat brain glial cultures. In growth medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum a doubling time of 16-18 hr was determined. OLN-93 cells in their antigenic properties resemble primary oligodendrocytes in culture. As analyzed by indirect immunofluorescence, the A2B5 surface marker is absent, they express galactocerebroside and myelin-specific proteins, such as myelin basic protein (MBP), myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), proteolipidprotein (PLP), and Wolfgram protein (WP), but do not exhibit astrocytic properties, such as the expression of vimentin or the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). In their morphological features they resemble bipolar O-2A-progenitor cells and, when grown at low density or on poly-L-lysine-coated culture dishes under low serum conditions, immature oligodendrocytes with a more arborized cell morphology. The cellular processes contain microfilaments, while N-CAM/D2 immunoreactivity is localized on the cell surface of the somata and processes. Immunoblot analysis further confirmed the presence of MAG, WP and MBP immunoreactivity, and the absence of vimentin and GFAP. Only a single MBP isoform (approximately 14 kDa) was detectable in the cellular extracts. PLP mRNA expression was studied by RT-PCR. The two proteolipid-specific mRNAs, DM20 and PLP, were present in OLN-93 cell extracts. Comparisons with embryonic rat cerebral cells in culture and primary oligodendrocytes suggest that OLN-93 cells in their morphological features and their antigenic properties resemble 5- to 10-day-old (postnatal time) cultured rat brain oligodendrocytes. Thus, the new cell line described in this study should provide a useful model system to investigate the specific mechanisms regulating the proliferation and differentiation of oligodendrocytes in vitro, and the molecular interactions with other cells of the nervous system.

Abstract
Paralytic tremor (Plp-pt) is a missense mutation of the myelin proteolipid gene (Plp) in rabbits. The myelin yield in the Plp-pt brain is reduced and the protein and lipid composition of central nervous system (CNS) myelin is abnormal. We studied the intracellular transport of the normal and Plp-pt mutant PLP and DM-20 in transiently transfected Cos-7 cells. While the mutant PLP accumulates in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and does not reach the plasma membrane, the spliced isoform of PLP, mutant DM-20, is normally transported to the cell surface and integrated into the membrane. Analysis of rabbit sciatic nerves revealed that concentration of peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelin proteins is normal in Plp-pt myelin. In the PNS like in the CNS, the level of Plp gene products is subnormal. But this does not affect myelination in the PNS where PLP, present in low concentration, is not a structural component of compact myelin. The normal level of Plp gene expression in Schwann cells is low and these results suggest that, in the Plp-pt PNS, Schwann cell function is not affected by the deficiency in PLP and/or the impairment of intracellular PLP transport.

Abstract
Paralytic tremor (pt), a hereditary neurological disorder of rabbits is a recessive, X-linked point mutation of the gene for proteolipid protein (PLP) biosynthesis. This mutation results in substitution of histidine by glutamine in the PLP molecule and produces severe hypomyelination. In the present study, we investigated the developmental expression of myelin-oligodendrocyte-specific glycolipid markers by means of ELISA assay. While immunoreactivity with antibodies recognising proligodendroblast (POA) antigen was unchanged, only minute amounts of the other glycolipid markers characteristic for more advanced stages of OLs maturation, such as 04 and 01 antigens, were expressed in pt brain. The degree of down-regulation was similar to that for MBP. Concomitantly, the level of in situ expression of the mutated PLP gene mRNA in glial cells of 14 day old pt brain was found to be as high as in age-matched controls. Northern blot analysis of developmental PLP gene expression showed a significant deficit of this message in pt brain, but only at more advanced developmental stages. However, aside from changes in myelin structure, no changes in glial cell number or morphology were evident by light microscopic examination of pt mutants. In contrast, electron microscopy revealed substantial abnormalities in pt oligodendrocyte cytoarchitecture, indicating functional impairment of intracellular transport and utilisation of myelin constituents. Thus, only POA expression is positively correlated with the unchanged content of OLs in pt brain, whereas decreases of 04 and 01 antigens, together with MBP immunoreactivity, are indicators of the degree of hypomyelination. Furthermore, oligodendrocyte differentiation appears to proceed normally in pt mutant brain up to the stage of PLP gene expression. Then, due to intracellular accumulation of this abnormal gene product, synthesis of PLP as well as the other myelin-specific constituents is inhibited by a "feed-back" control mechanism.

Abstract
A large number of genetic mutants that are missing a particular myelin protein or that have an aberrant myelin protein composition have been described. These mutations usually cause dysmyelination in the PNS or CNS. Similarly, the nervous system of animals experimentally altered to block synthesis of myelin proteins have recently been generated that show aberrations in the myelin sheath. For both groups of animals, the numbers of myelinating cells remain relatively stable and glial cell death is minimal. The exception is animals with mutations in the proteolipid protein (PLP) gene which exhibit extensive death of oligodendrocytes (OLs). The degree of OL death in the PLP mutants generally correlates with the amount of dysmyelination. Dying OLs in the PLP mutants exhibit the classical features of apoptotic cells. Programmed cell death (PCD) is often, but not necessarily, manifested by cleavage of DNA into abundant oligonucleosomal fragments. Detection of these abundant DNA fragments was examined in normal and jimpy (jp) mice using the TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling) method. In normal spinal cord and brain, at least twice as many cells exhibited DNA fragmentation when compared to numbers of pyknotic glia observed microscopically. In jp spinal cord and brain, roughly one-half of cells exhibited DNA fragmentation when compared to numbers of pyknotic glia observed microscopically. PCD of cells in normal development involving DNA fragmentation has been previously described and our results support that conclusion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Ludwig Merzbacher (1875-1942) is widely known for his seminal work on the pathology of the dysmyelinating CNS disease named for the clinician Friedrich Pelizaeus and himself. Yet his training, his scientific achievements and his list of publications suggest a scientist with broad interests in neuropathology, neuroscience, neurology and psychiatry. Among several studies in experimental and clinical neuropathology, Merzbacher's work on scavenger cells is the most outstanding. While working in Alois Alzheimer's laboratory in Munich in 1906/1907, Ludwig Merzbacher analyzed in great detail the reaction patterns of these cells, which are nowadays known as reactive microglia, and already attempted to elucidate their function in brain pathology.

Abstract
The X chromosome-linked PLP/DM-20 gene is the CNS myelin gene most frequently associated with mutations, resulting in dysmyelination in several species including man (Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease, X-linked Spastic Paraplegia). The pathology of most PLP gene mutations is characterized by hypomyelination, glial cell proliferation, increased numbers of microglia, and premature oligodendrocyte death. In most mutants, residual myelin structures have an abnormal ultrastructure and periodicity. Surprisingly, transgenic mice which carry extra copies of the wild type PLP gene show dysmyelination, demonstrating that the PLP gene is dosage sensitive. Pathological changes of transgenic mice vary from the phenotype of natural mutants. Specifically, many Golgi saccules of oligodendrocytes are vacuolated and the cytoplasm contains autophagic vacuoles hinting at a perturbation in protein trafficking. In fact, upon transgenic overexpression PLP becomes a prominent peripheral myelin protein, whereas in normal Schwann cells PLP is restricted from entering the myelin compartment. Surprisingly, transgenic animals which overexpress PLP/DM-20 at a low level appear normal during early development, but later spontaneously demyelinate. The mechanisms underlying this demyelination phenotype is unknown but an immune-mediated process has been suggested. All attempts to correct the phenotype of natural PLP mutants, such as jimpy mice, with a wild type transgene have had little effects, indicating a dominant-negative effect of the mutant gene product. On the other hand, mice with a targeted disruption of the PLP/DM-20 gene have surprisingly minor clinical signs. This suggests that the lethal phenotype associated with the majority of PLP gene mutations is a complex combination of loss and gain-of-function effects of a mutant myelin protein.

Abstract
The neuropathology of a clinically well-documented case of the neonatal progeroid syndrome Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch is described. The most striking feature was a nearly complete absence of mature myelin in the brain. When immunohistochemistry for myelin basic protein was applied, some subcortical nerve fibres were accompanied by immature myelin sheaths. The neuropathology corresponds exactly to that of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (Seitelberger type). Furthermore, this morphology, with the presence of myelin basic protein in the absence of mature myelin sheaths is reminiscent of the early stages of myelination in the newborn. From a brief review of the literature on Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome, we conclude, that the neuropathology of the syndrome is heterogeneous, and that there is relationship between the progeroid aspect and pathological myelination.

Abstract
Clinical, neuropathological and molecular genetic studies in a 9 month old boy with Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease are described. The principal clinical features were developmental delay, nystagmus, stridor and seizures. Both brain and spinal cord showed almost complete absence of stainable central myelin, while cranial and spinal root myelin was preserved. Probes for cDNA in the boy and his asymptomatic mother indicated an increase in the dosage of proteolipid protein gene (of at least twofold) compared with controls.
