The Journal of Neuroscience, vol. 35, n.o 35, septiembre de 2015, pp. 12241-47. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.3937-14.2015.0270-647410.1523/jneurosci.3937-14.2015https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/89021The identification of the molecular network that supports oligodendrocyte (OL) regeneration under demyelinating conditions has been a primary goal for regenerative medicine in demyelinating disorders. We recently described an essential function for TACE/ADAM17 in regulating oligodendrogenesis during postnatal myelination, but it is unknown whether this protein also plays a role in OL regeneration and remyelination under demyelinating conditions. By using genetic mouse models to achieve selective gain- or loss-of-function of TACE or EGFR in OL lineage cells in vivo, we found that TACE is critical for EGFR activation in OLs following demyelination, and therefore, for sustaining OL regeneration and CNS remyelination. TACE deficiency in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells following demyelination disturbs OL lineage cell expansion and survival, leading to a delay in the remyelination process. EGFR overexpression in TACE deficient OLs in vivo restores OL development and postnatal CNS myelination, but also OL regeneration and CNS remyelination following demyelination. Our study reveals an essential function of TACE in supporting OL regeneration and CNS remyelination that may contribute to the design of new strategies for therapeutic intervention in demyelinating disorders by promoting oligodendrocyte regeneration and myelin repair.engjournal article1529-2401https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.3937-14.2015open access612.8591.18577.1ADAM17EGFROligodendrocyte precursorRemyelinationTACEBioquímica (Biología)Neurociencias (Biológicas)2403 Bioquímica2490 Neurociencias
