Oligodendrocyte differentiation and progenitor cell proliferation are independently regulated by cyclic AMP

Abstract: Oligodendrocytes, the glial cells specialized to synthesize myelin in the central nervous system, differentiate in primary rat brain cell cultures on a schedule similar to that observed in vivo. The schedule of oligodendrocyte differentiation and the rate of oligodendroglial progenitor cell proliferation in vitro are both modulated by 3',5'-cyclic AMP (cAMP). A 24-hour exposure to 1 mM N6,2'O-dibutyryladenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (dbcAMP) induced a wave of oligodendrocyte differentiation but inhibited … Show more

“…Oligodendrocytes undergo a series of sequential and well-defined changes in their phenotypic characteristics, gradually evolving from proliferative immature precursors into postmitotic mature cells (27). cAMP-elevating agents can promote preOLs lineage progression and differentiation but may inhibit their proliferation (17,28,29). Although mature oligodendrocytes are more resistant to hypoxic-ischemic injury than preOLs (6 -9), rolipram treatment may in fact deplete the number of proliferating preOLs after hypoxicischemic injury, as demonstrated in our study.…”

“…We showed that T3 continues to accelerate the morphological and functional maturation of postmitotic oligodendrocytes, indicating that the rate of oligodendrocyte maturation and the rate of progenitor cell proliferation are regulated independently by T3. Interestingly, cyclic AMP that affects progenitor cells proliferation and oligodendrocyte maturation has been shown to influence independently these two cAMP-regulated events (Raible and McMorris, 1993). Furthermore, retinoic acid which blocks the proliferation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells has no effect on the maturation of oligodendrocytes (Laeng et al, 1994).…”

“…Therefore, to analyze the effects of polyamines, mixed glial cell cultures were maintained in serum-free media for 48 hours prior to polyamine addition. Immunohistochemical analysis of cells maintained in 8 well chamber slides was performed as previously described (Raible and McMorris 1993, Sperber et al 2001). The total cell number and percentages of oligodendrocytes were identified as cells immunoreactive for 2',3' cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (CNP) per total hematoxylin-labeled nuclei in culture.…”
