“…Notwithstanding the known importance of myelination in system-wide neural circuit function, the intrinsic circadian clock control of OPCs, myelin-forming cells, and myelination is quite understudied compared with the circadian regulation of astrocytes and microglia. To date, numerous components of the transcriptional molecular clock have been identified throughout the oligodendroglial lineage in both mice and humans (Zhang Y, et al, 2014(Zhang Y, et al, , 2016Rojo et al, 2022), which has been confirmed at the proteomic level with PER2 staining in oligodendrocytes (Colwell and Ghiani, 2020) and BMAL1 staining in OPCs (Rojo et al, 2022). In addition, isolated OPCs show rhythmic expression of Bmal1, Per2, and Rev-Erbα that is disrupted by the lack of Bmal1 (Rojo et al, 2022).…”
