Abstract excerpt
Overexpression or lack of expression of proteolipid protein (PLP) gene by oligodendrocytes causes axonal pathology. It is unclear whether dysfunction of the PLP gene mediates its effects directly on neurons or indirectly by abnormal formation of myelin sheaths. We performed experiments using cocultures and conditioned media (CM) to test the direct effect of PLP gene expression on neurons. Non-glial cell lines...
