Abstract

Several distinct cell types in the adult central nervous system have been suggested to act as stem or progenitor cells generating new cells under physiological or pathological conditions. We have assessed the origin of new cells in the adult mouse spinal cord by genetic fate mapping. Oligodendrocyte progenitors self-renew, give rise to new mature oligodendrocytes, and constitute the dominating proliferating cell population in the intact adult spinal cord. In contrast, astrocytes and ependymal cells, which are restricted to limited self-duplication in the intact spinal cord, generate the largest number of cells after spinal cord injury. Only ependymal cells generate progeny of multiple fates, and neural stem cell activity in the intact and injured adult spinal cord is confined to this cell population. We provide an integrated view of how several distinct cell types contribute in complementary ways to cell maintenance and the reaction to injury.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • TAM has been exploited experimentally to induce permanent reporter expression in newly-born neurons in olfactory bulb and dentate gyrus, in physiologically-active neurons throughout the brain, and in progeny of ependymal cells of intact and injured murine spinal cord.

    “TAM has been exploited experimentally to induce permanent reporter expression in, for example, newly-born neurons in the olfactory bulb and dentate gyrus [8], in physiologically-active neurons throughout the brain [9], and in progeny of ependymal cells of the intact and injured murine spinal cord [39].”
  • In Barnabé-Heider et al., five daily treatments of TAM (80 mg/kg) were used to induce recombination in ependymal cells in FoxJ1-CreER mice to determine whether ependymal cells are multipotential in vitro, and in vivo following spinal cord injury.

    “Here, five daily treatments of TAM (80 mg/kg) were used to induce recombination in ependymal cells in FoxJ1-CreER mice in order to determine whether ependymal cells are multipotential in vitro, and in vivo following a spinal cord injury.”
  • In vivo, reporter-expressing ependyma self-renewed and produced astrocytes and oligodendrocyte-lineage cells 5 days following last TAM dose.

    “In vivo, reporter-expressing ependyma self-renewed and produced astrocytes and oligodendrocyte-lineage cells 5 days following the last TAM dose.”
  • The in vitro studies showed that 3 days after cessation of TAM treatment, recombined ependyma could give rise to neurospheres with cells expressing markers for neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocyte-lineage cells.

    “The in vitro studies showed that 3 days after cessation of TAM treatment, recombined ependyma could indeed give rise to neurospheres with cells expressing markers for neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocyte-lineage cells.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
