Episodic demyelination and subsequent remyelination within the murine central nervous system: changes in axonal calibre
Abstract
Exposure of young adult C57BL/6 mice to cuprizone in the diet initiated profound and synchronous demyelination of the corpus callosum, which was virtually complete by 4 weeks of exposure. Interestingly, even in the face of a continued exposure to cuprizone, there was spontaneous remyelination 2 weeks later. This remyelination preferentially involved smaller calibre axons. There was a suggestion of yet another cycle of demyelination (at 10 weeks) and remyelination (at 12 weeks), but by 16 weeks of exposure, the regenerative capacity was exhausted and the animals were near death. The relapsing–remitting pattern suggests this may be a useful model for certain human demyelinating disorders. In contrast to the above chronic model, the corpus callosum from mice exposed to cuprizone for only 6 weeks continued to remyelinate, with 67% of the axons being myelinated or remyelinated at 10 weeks. Interestingly, a significant reduction in the mean value for axonal diameter was observed during acute demyelination. Upon remyelination, however, the axonal calibre distribution returned to near‐normal. In contrast, when mice were maintained on a cuprizone diet for 16 weeks, the mean value for axonal diameter was reduced to 60% of normal. These results provide further evidence that the interactions between oligodendrocytes and axons alter axonal calibre.

“In contrast, the continuous exposure of C57BL/6 mice to cuprizone results in a pattern of two cycles of demyelination and remyelination, followed by chronic demyelination from which animals do not recover 36, 39.”

In the citing paper
“Thus, unlike male C57BL/6 mice, which show three cycles of demyelination while on continuous exposure to cuprizone over 13 weeks (36), SJL mice appear to demyelinate gradually once during these time points; however, the demyelination is incomplete.”

“In addition, C57BL/6 mice experience a spontaneous partial remyelination after 6 weeks and then continue to demyelinate further when exposed continuously to cuprizone 36, 39.”
From SJL Mice Exposed to Cuprizone Intoxication Reveal Strain and Gender Pattern Differences in Demyelination (2009) · cites this paper as [36]
In the citing paper
“Indeed, long-term feeding of cuprizone induces an episodic sequence of demyelinating and remyelinating events, which becomes ineffective over time, progressing to a chronic state of demyelination [26].”

In the citing paper
“Mason and colleagues rarely observed necrotic axons but showed a mean decrease in axonal caliber, indicating some kind of axonal injury or dysfunction that might impair remyelination [26].”

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.
