Abstract:
:Axonal signals activate myelinogenesis via regulation of the extent to which oligodendrocyte (OLG) processes wrap around the axon. The cytoskeleton in OLG processes is actively involved in myelination and is a putative target for axonal regulation of myelination. The axon-associated neuregulins may regulate the cytoskeleton extensions in OLG processes. Here, we report that the neuregulin neu differentiation factor (NDF) increases the expression of tau mRNA and tau protein in OLGs. Treatment of neonatal OLGs with alpha-NDF or beta-NDF resulted in dramatic increases in the length of OLG processes, which appeared either as singular unbranched extensions or as a network of extensively branched processes. By immunoblot analysis with tau-1 mAb, which recognizes the dephosphorylated form of the tau proteins, neonatal OLGs treated with alpha-NDF or beta-NDF, had an increase in tau protein levels. The increase of tau levels in beta-NDF-treated cells is much greater than the twofold increase present in alpha-NDF-treated cells. By immunoblot analysis with the phosphorylation-insensitive tau-5 mAb, beta-NDF-treated cells had a twofold increase in tau. Immunoblot analysis suggest that alpha-NDF and beta-NDF promote a twofold increase in the tau protein levels in OLG, with the beta-factor also promoting a tau dephosphorylation. Using promoters spanning the amino-terminal region of tau, we found that OLGs treated with alpha-NDF or beta-NDF contained approximately twofold more tau mRNA than untreated cells. However, there was no qualitative difference between control and NDF-treated cells in the pattern of tau mRNA isoforms expressed. A model is proposed in which the axonal NDF-induced regulation of tau expression in OLGs may be part of the mechanism by which the axon regulates myelination.
