Fig 1 Outline of the experimental design. The transcriptome of punched out corpus callosum was examined at 4 time points in the cuprizone (CPZ) model: early and full demyelination (2 and 4 week CPZ, DEM), acute remyelination (aREM, 2 days after suspending CPZ) and full remyelination (fREM, 14 days after suspending CPZ) by 4x44K Agilent Whole Mouse Genom Expression Microarray. Differentially expressed genes at 4 week demyelination, acute and full remyelination were then compared to published transcriptomes of MS lesions. The CSF proteome was established by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in a discovery MS cohort (cohort 1, altogether 30 samples). Protein products of overlapping orthologous CPZ/MS genes were then screened in this MS-CSF proteome. Next, levels of selected 129 peptides of 51 proteins of orthologous CPZ/MS genes were measured in altogether 97 individual MS samples (cohort 1 and 2) by targeted proteomics (parallel reaction monitoring, PRM), and stratified according to relapsing and progressive MS subtypes. The differentially regulated proteins were correlated with concentration of molecular markers of inflammation and axonal degeneration (neurofilament light chain, NFL) [15] in the MS-CSF. The expression kinetics of orthologous genes and proteins was examined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in the CPZ model and related to demyelination, acute remyelination and full remyelination.

Fig 2 Gene expression during experimental de- and remyelination and orthologous genes in MS lesions. (A) Overlaps of differentially expressed (at least 2-fold change and statistically significant difference at corrected p<0.05) genes in four CPZ-treated experimental conditions compared to the untreated controls are visualized by Venn diagram. Intensity of filling grey colour indicates the relative percent of all genes shown. The transcriptome of demyelination was determined after 2 and 4 weeks of CPZ administration (2-week DEM, 4-week DEM); remyelination transcriptomes were determined 2 days and 14 days after suspending CPZ (acute and full remyelination; 2-day REM, 2-week REM). (B) Orthologous genes in MS and CPZ lesions were determined by comparing differentially expressed genes in white matter and cortical lesions of MS patients and MS susceptibility genes to transcriptome signatures of CPZ-induced demyelination at 2 and 4 weeks (2wD, 4wD), acute remyelination 2 days after suspending CPZ (2dR), and during full remyelination 2 weeks after suspending CPZ (2wR). The heatmaps represent the expression of orthologous: overlapping MS genes during demyelination and remyelination phases of the CPZ model.

Fig 3 Upstream regulators of up- and down-regulated orthologous genes in the cuprizone model and MS lesions. Upstream regulators of up- and down-regulated orthologous genes were determined by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. The experimentally observed gene expression tendencies are shown by the bottom line of nodes of the graphs (red increased, green decreased expression), while the networks above these genes displays the predicted regulatory networks might be responsible for the detected transcription effect. Orange color in the regulatory network indicates positive and blue color indicates negative regulatory effects. Marks on the graph edges shows the type of functional interactions (E: expression, LO: localization, A: activation, TR: translocation, T: transcription, RB: regulation of binding, PD: protein-DNA binding, P: phosphorylation) and the number of the supporting evidences in Ingenuity Knowledge Base.

Level of peptides relative to the respective stable isotope standard is indicated by scatter plots, and was quantified by targeted proteomics, parallel reaction monitoring in the CSF of patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS, n = 40), secondary progressive MS (SPMS, n = 27), and primary progressive MS (PPMS, n = 30). (ANOVA, corrected for multiple-testing, using Benjamini-Hochberg). See also S1 and S3 Tables.

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.
