Transcriptomic analysis of loss of Gli1 in neural stem cells responding to demyelination in the mouse brain.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In the adult mammalian brain, Gli1 expressing neural stem cells reside in the subventricular zone and their progeny are recruited to sites of demyelination in the white matter where they regenerate oligodendrocytes, the myelin forming cells. Remarkably, genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of Gli1 enhances remyelination in the adult brain. To understand the molecular mechanisms involved, we performed a transcriptomic analysis to compare the expression of genes in Gli1 neural stem cells with either intact Gli1 expression or genetic loss of Gli1 from adult mice on control diet or cuprizone diet, which induces demyelination. These data will be a valuable resource for identifying therapeutic targets for enhancing remyelination in demyelinating diseases like multiple sclerosis.
