Pre-oligodendrocytes from adult human CNS

CNS remyelination and functional recovery often occur after experimental
demyelination in adult rodents. This has been attributed to the ability of
mature oligodendrocytes and/or their precursor cells to divide and
regenerate in response to signals in demyelinating lesions. To determine
whether oligodendrocyte precursor cells exist in the adult human CNS, we
have cultured white matter from patients undergoing partial temporal lobe
resection for intractable epilepsy. These cultures contained a population
of process-bearing cells that expressed antigens recognized by the O4
monoclonal antibody, but these cells did not express galactocerebroside (a
marker for oligodendrocytes), glial fibrillary acidic protein (a marker for
astrocytes), or vimentin. Selective elimination of O4-positive (O4+) cells
by complement-mediated lysis resulted in inhibition of oligodendrocyte
development in vitro. Since O4+ cells have an antigenic phenotype
reminiscent of the rat adult oligodendrocyte-type 2 astrocyte progenitor
and appear to develop into oligodendrocytes rather than type 2 astrocytes
with time in culture, we call them "pre-oligodendrocytes." Neither
pre-oligodendrocytes nor oligodendrocytes incorporated 3H- thymidine in
response to rat astrocyte-conditioned medium, platelet- derived growth
factor, insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), or basic fibroblast growth
factor (bFGF). However, IGF-1 increased the relative abundance of
oligodendrocytes to pre-oligodendrocytes, while bFGF had the opposite
effect. Cells with the antigenic phenotype of pre- oligodendrocytes were
also identified in tissue prints of adult human white matter. We propose
that, in human demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis,
pre-oligodendrocytes may divide and/or migrate in response to signals
present in demyelinated lesions and thus facilitate remyelination.
