Tropomyosin Receptor Kinase B Expressed in Oligodendrocyte Lineage Cells Functions to Promote Myelin Following a Demyelinating Lesion.


ABSTRACT: The levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the corpus callosum have previously been shown to have a critical impact on oligodendrocyte (OLG) lineage cells during cuprizone-elicited demyelination. In particular, BDNF+/- mice exhibit greater losses in myelin protein levels compared to wild-type mice after cuprizone. To investigate whether OLGs may directly mediate these effects of BDNF during a lesion in vivo, we used the cuprizone model of demyelination with inducible conditional male knockout mice to specifically delete the high-affinity tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) receptor from proteolipid protein?+?OLGs during cuprizone-elicited demyelination and subsequent remyelination. The loss of TrkB during cuprizone-elicited demyelination results in an increased sensitivity to demyelination as demonstrated by greater deficits in myelin protein levels, greater decreases in numbers of mature OLGs, increased numbers of demyelinated axons, and decreased myelin thickness. When mice are removed from cuprizone, they exhibit a delayed recovery in myelin proteins and myelin. Our data indicate that following a demyelinating lesion, TrkB in OLGs positively regulates myelin protein expression, myelin itself, and remyelination.
