  • Gene changes during differentiation. OPCs were infected with control- or DnREST-expressing retroviruses and grown in proliferation media for 5 d. Cells were switched to either oligodendrocyte media or 2A differentiation media for 3–4 d. Total RNA was collected, and transcript levels were analyzed by real-time reverse transcription-PCR. Relative fold difference in gene expression in DnREST-infected cells is shown relative to control-infected cells. The SD was taken from four to six total PCR runs from two separate experiments. NC, No change.

  • *p < 0.05,

  • **p < 0.005. When not indicated, the change was not statistically significant.
