For in vitro myelination system, Schwann cells and neuronal cells of rat were cocultured. Schwann cells and neuronal cells, respectively, were obtained from dorsal root ganglion of rat embryos (E15). This method includes four steps: first step of suspension of the embryonic dorsal root ganglion cells, second step of addition of anti-mitotic cocktail, third step of purification of dorsal root cells, and fourth step of addition of Schwann cells to dorsal root ganglion cells. We made a highly purified population of myelination in a short period through this procedure and identified myelination basic protein using antibody of myelination basic protein.

시험내 수초화 시스템을 만들기 위해 쥐에서 슈반세포와 뉴런세포의 공동 배양이 완성되었다. 슈반세포와 뉴런 세포는 각각 쥐의 배아(임신 15일)의 척수신경절로 부터 분리되었다. 이 방법은 4단계로 이루어져 있다. 1단계는 쥐배아의 척수신경절를 부유시키는 단계, 2단계는 유사분열억제제를 첨가하는 단계, 3단계는 척수신경절 세포를 순수 분리하는 단계, 4단계는 척수신경절 세포에 슈반세포를 첨가하는 단계이다. 우리는 단기간 내에 고 순도의 수초화 군을 생성하였으며 이렇게 생성된 수초화 단백질을 수초 기본 단백질(myelination basic protein)의 항체를 이용하여 확인하였다.

Background: The authors established an in vitro model of diabetic neuropathy based on the culture system of primary neurons and Schwann cells (SCs) to mimic similar symptoms observed in in vivo models of this complication, such as impaired neurite extension and impaired myelination. The model was then utilized to investigate the effects of insulin on enhancing neurite extension and myelination of diabetic neurons. Methods: SCs and primary neurons were cultured under conditions mimicking hyperglycemia prepared by adding glucose to the basal culture medium. In a single culture, the proliferation and maturation of SCs and the neurite extension of neurons were evaluated. In a co-culture, the percentage of myelination of diabetic neurons was investigated. Insulin at different concentrations was supplemented to culture media to examine its effects on neurite extension and myelination. Results: The cells showed similar symptoms observed in in vivo models of this complication. In a single culture, hyperglycemia attenuated the proliferation and maturation of SCs, induced apoptosis, and impaired neurite extension of both sensory and motor neurons. In a co-culture of SCs and neurons, the percentage of myelinated neurites in the hyperglycemia-treated group was significantly lower than that in the control group. This impaired neurite extension and myelination was reversed by the introduction of insulin to the hyperglycemic culture media. Conclusions: Insulin may be a potential candidate for improving diabetic neuropathy. Insulin can function as a neurotrophic factor to support both neurons and SCs. Further research is needed to discover the potential of insulin in improving diabetic neuropathy.

쥐의 배아(배아 16일)의 척수신경절에서 슈반세포와 뉴런 세포가 실험실 상에서 분리되었고 정제되었다. 정제된 척수신경절 세포는 유사분열 억제제를 첨가하여 배양되었고 분리 정제된 슈반세포와 공동배양 배양시켰다. 이 결과로 마침내 수초화 과정이 구축되었다. 이 수초화는 M. leprae-specific phenolic glycolipid-1 (PGL-1) 성분으로 처리하였고 그 결과 neurofilament의 단클론 항체를 이용하여 수초화와 탈수초화를 비교 및 분석하였다.

Schwann cells and neuronal cells from dorsal root ganglion (DRG) in embryos of rat were cultured in vitro respectively. The purified neuronal cells with anti-mitotic agents and purified Schwann cells were co-cultured and then accomplished myelination processing. Infection of Semliki forest virus into this myelinated co-culture system was performed and then accomplished demyelination. We identified myelination and demyelination processing using antibody of neuropeptide Y.

A 21-month-old girl with cri-du-chat syndrome in conjunction with developmental delay underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The MRI showed hypoplasia of the brain stem, a normal cerebellum, thinning of the corpus callosum, and a lack of myelination in both anterior limbs of the internal capsule. She also had neonatal bilateral subependymal cysts. We believe that the symmetrical lack of myelination in both anterior limbs of the internal capsule could be a diagnostic clue of cri-du-chat syndrome.

It is reasonably well known that there is a relationship between myelin formation and methylation of myelin basic protein in nerve cells. One of the suggestions is that arginine methylation of myelin basic protein could be of aid in the conjugation of myelin protein with the nonpolar lipid to form myelin. Abnormality in methylation of myclin basic protein might induce the neurological diseases in experimental animals as well as in human being. In the biological system, the methylation reaction is catalyzed by protein methaylse I using S-adenosyl-L-methionine as methyl donor. In this study, we examined the changes of S-adenosyl-L-methionine concentration and protein methylase I activity in developing rat brain tissues. The results are sumraerized as followings: (1) In brain tissues of fetus rat, the concentration of S-adenosyl-L-methionine was gradually decreased until to birth. However, the concentration in brain tissues of infant rat was suddenly increased at 7th day(just before myelination occur) birth. (2) Protein methylase I activity was decreased until to birth in brain of fetus rat and increased temporally just after birth, However, the enzyme activity showed no changes around 7th day after birth.

Background: Abnormalities of myelin, which increases the efficiency of action potential conduction, are found in neurological disorders. Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) demonstrates therapeutic efficacy against some of these conditions, however effects on oligodendrocyte (OL)s are not well known. Here, we examined the effects of KRG-derived components on development and protection of OL-lineage cells. Methods: Primary OL precursor cell (OPC) cultures were prepared from neonatal mouse cortex. The protective efficacies of the KRG components were examined against inhibitors of mitochondrial respiratory chain activity. For in vivo function of Rb1 on myelination, after 10 days of oral gavage into adult male mice, forebrains were collected. OPC proliferation were assessed by BrdU incorporation, and differentiation and myelination were examined by qPCR, western blot and immunocytochemistry. Results: The non-saponin promoted OPC proliferation, while the saponin promoted differentiation. Both processes were mediated by AKT and extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) signaling. KRG extract, the saponin and non-saponin protected OPCs against oxidative stress, and both KRG extract and the saponin significantly increased the expression of the antioxidant enzyme. Among 11 major ginsenosides tested, Rb1 significantly increased OL membrane size in vitro. Moreover, Rb1 significantly increased myelin formation in adult mouse brain. Conclusion: All KRG components prevented OPC deaths under oxidative stress. While non-saponin promoted proliferation, saponin fraction increased differentiation and OL membrane size. Furthermore, among all the tested ginsenosides, Rb1 showed the biggest increase in the membrane size and significantly enhanced myelination in vivo. These results imply therapeutic potentials of KRG and Rb1 for myelin-related disorders.

슈반세포와 뉴런 세포가 쥐의 배아의 척수신경절로 부터 각각 in vitro에서 분리되었다. 배양된 슈반세포와 뉴런 세포는 동일한 평판접시에서 공동배양 되었다. 이들 세포들은 때 수초화가 진행되었다. 이렇게 수초화된 공동 배양은 Semliki forest virus에 의해 감염되었고 그 때 탈수초화 과정을 유발시켰다. 우리는 수초화된 뉴런에 존재하는 peripheral myelin protein 22의 항체를 이용하여 수초화 과정과 탈수초화 과정을 확인하였다.
