Abstract

Glial progenitor cells of the developing CNS committed to the oligodendrocyte lineage (OPCs) express the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, NG2. A proportion of OPCs fail to differentiate past the stage at which they express NG2 and the lipid antigen O4 and persist in the adult CNS in a phenotypically immature form. However, the physiological function of NG2(+) cells in the adult CNS is unknown. Using antibodies against NG2 we show that NG2 is expressed by a distinct cell population in the mature CNS with the homogeneous antigenic phenotype of oligodendrocyte progenitors. The morphology of NG2(+) OPCs varies from region to region, reflecting the different structural environments, but they appear to represent a homogeneous population within any one gray or white matter region. A study of nine CNS regions showed that NG2(+) OPCs are numerous throughout the CNS and numbers in the white matter are only 1.5 times that in the gray. Whereas the ratio of OPCs to myelinating oligodendrocytes in the spinal cord gray and white matter approximates 1:4, gray matter regions of the forebrain have a 1:1 ratio, a phenomenon that will have consequences for oligodendrocyte replacement following demyelination. BrdU incorporation experiments showed that NG2(+) cells are the major dividing cell population of the adult rat CNS. Since very little apoptosis was detected and BrdU became increasingly present in oligodendrocytes after a 10-day pulse chase, with a concomitant decrease in NG2(+) BrdU incorporating cells, we suggest that the size of the oligodendrocyte population may actually increase during adult life.

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.
