Abstract

Olig1 and Olig2 are closely related basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors that are expressed in myelinating oligodendrocytes and their progenitor cells in the developing central nervous system (CNS). Olig2 is necessary for the specification of oligodendrocytes, but the biological functions of Olig1 during oligodendrocyte lineage development are poorly understood. We show here that Olig1 function in mice is required not to develop the brain but to repair it. Specifically, we demonstrate a genetic requirement for Olig1 in repairing the types of lesions that occur in patients with multiple sclerosis.

  • In OPCs, there was early upregulation of several transcription factors and Notch ligands known to regulate differentiation to oligodendrocytes after loss of surrounding oligodendrocytes.

    “In OPCs, there was early upregulation of several transcription factors (OLIG1, OLIG2, SOX10, SOX8, PRRX1, ASCL1) and Notch ligands (DLL1, DLL3) known to regulate differentiation78–81 to oligodendrocytes after loss of surrounding oligodendrocytes (Fig. 7e, right, and Fig. 7g).”

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.
