Abstract Demyelination is generated in several nervous system illnesses. Developing strategies for effective clinical treatments requires the discovery of promyelinating drugs. Increased GABAergic signaling through γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABAAR) activation in oligodendrocytes has been proposed as a promyelinating condition. GABAAR expressed in oligodendroglia is strongly potentiated by n-butyl-β-carboline-3-carboxylate (β-CCB) compared to that in neurons. Here, mice were subjected to 0.3% cuprizone (CPZ) added in the food to induce central nervous system demyelination, a well-known model for multiple sclerosis. Then β-CCB (1 mg/Kg) was systemically administered to analyze the remyelination status in white and gray matter areas. Myelin content was evaluated using Black-Gold II (BGII) staining, immunofluorescence (IF), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Evidence indicates that β-CCB treatment of CPZ-demyelinated animals promoted remyelination in several white matter structures, such as the fimbria, corpus callosum, internal capsule, and cerebellar peduncles. Moreover, using IF, it was observed that CPZ intake induced an increase in NG2+ and a decrease in CC1+ cell populations, alterations that were importantly retrieved by β-CCB treatment. Thus, the promyelinating character of β-CCB was confirmed in a generalized demyelination model, strengthening the idea that it has clinical potential as a therapeutic drug. |
