The axon–glia unit in white matter stroke: Mechanisms of damage and recovery

Abstract: Approximately one quarter of all strokes in humans occur in white matter, and the progressive nature of white matter lesions often results in severe physical and mental disability. Unlike cortical grey matter stroke, the pathology of white matter stroke revolves around disrupted connectivity and injured axons and glial cells, rather than neuronal cell bodies. Consequently, the mechanisms behind ischemic damage to white matter elements, the regenerative responses of glial cells and their signaling pathways, all… Show more

“…Remyelination is critical for recovery in several diseases, such as MS, neonatal white matter injury (NWMI) and stroke (Franklin and Ffrench-Constant, 2008; Rosenzweig and Carmichael, 2015). In these conditions, OPCs often fail to differentiate into mature OLs required for myelin repair (Fancy et al, 2011a).…”

“…The WM microstructure is determined by its composition. Previous reviews have summarized the microstructure of the white matter in detail, such as the review by Wang Yuan and Rosenzweig Shira . In addition, myelinated axons have a unique molecular structure and organization that enable them to quickly and efficiently transmit the action potentials .…”

“…Classic examples for such pathological conditions are the major human demyelinating disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and the dysmyelinating genetic disorders grouped under the term leukodystrophies (Griffin and Lassman, 2004). More recently, myelin dysfunction and/or damage has also been associated with ischemic and traumatic brain injury (Armstrong et al, 2015; Back and Rosenberg, 2014; Rosenzweig and Carmichael, 2015), perinatal white matter injury/periventricular leukomalacia (Back, 2015; Folkerth, 2006; Haynes et al, 2003; Volpe, 2009), as well as neuropsychiatric diseases (Haroutunian et al, 2014; Miguel-Hidalgo, 2013; Nave and Ehrenreich, 2014). In light of the disabling burden of all of the above mentioned neurologic disorders, there is the hope that our progressive biological understanding of the OLG and the regulation of CNS myelination will lead to therapeutic approaches aimed at the regeneration of the myelin sheath as a critical step toward curative treatments.…”
