Transcriptional changes in oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPC) and immature oligodendrocytes (O4) of postnatal mouse brain due to Major Facilitator Superfamily Domain containing 2a (Mfsd2a) mediated lipid transport.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Mfsd2a plays an important role in accretion of essential fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from the periphery into the brain. Loss of Mfsd2a in humans leads to microcephaly and hypomyelination. The precise impact of lipid species transported by Mfsd2a on myelination is not known. Using OPC specific deletion of Mfsd2a (2aOKO) in mice we found that OPC cell state, differentiation and oligodendrocytes maturation is disrupted resulting in hypomyelination. RNAsequencing and differential gene expression analysis was performed on OPC and O4 cells from postnatal mouse brain to understand the influence of Mfsd2a on oligodendrocyte development.
