BACKGROUND:The quaking viable (qk(v)) mice have uncompacted myelin in their central and peripheral nervous system (CNS, PNS). The qk gene encodes 3 major alternatively spliced isoforms that contain unique sequence at their C-terminus dictating their

We examined the effects of growth factors and axonal signals on the differentiation of human fetal and adult oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) and determined whether these effects translated into enhanced axonal ensheathment. Only small numbers

The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (p38 MAPKs) are a family of kinases that regulate a number of cellular functions including cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. We have previously reported a role for p38 MAPK in the regulation

We previously reported that the precursor form of nerve growth factor (pro-NGF) and not mature NGF is liberated in the CNS in an activity-dependent manner, and that its maturation and degradation occur in the extracellular space by the coordinated ac

Mutations in NEFL encoding the light neurofilament subunit (NFL) cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2E (CMT2E), which affects both motor and sensory neurons. We expressed the disease-causing mutants NFL and NFL in motor neurons of dissociated spi

Exhaustive in vitro dephosphorylation of porcine neurofilaments (NFs) by alkaline or acid phospha-tase did not cause a dissociation of the 210–kD (NF-H), 160–kD (NF-M), or 70–kD (NF-L) subunits and had no effect on the reassembly of NFs from ur

The notion that an infectious respiratory pathogen can damage the central nervous system (CNS) and lead to neurological disease was tested using a human respiratory coronavirus, the OC43 strain of human coronavirus (HCoV-OC43). First, primary cell cu

The molecular mechanisms underlying H2O2-induced toxicity were characterized in rat oligodendrocyte cultures. While progenitor cells were more sensitive than mature oligodendrocytes to H2O2, the antioxidant, N-acetyl-l-cysteine, blocked toxicity at b

In the present study we demonstrate that p38, a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, is essential for ascorbate- and laminin-induced myelination in Schwann cell-dorsal root ganglion neuron cocultures. The inhibitory effect of
