Progeny of Olig2-expressing progenitors in the gray and white matter of the adult mouse cerebral cortex
Open accessAbstract
Despite their abundance, still little is known about the rather frequent, constantly proliferating progenitors spread throughout the adult mouse brain parenchyma. The majority of these progenitors express the basic-helix-loop-helix transcription factor Olig2, and their number further increases after injury. Here, we examine the progeny of this progenitor population by genetic fate mapping using tamoxifen-inducible Cre-recombination in the Olig2 locus to turn on permanent reporter gene expression in the adult brain. Consistent with Olig2 expression in proliferating NG2(+) progenitors, most reporter(+) cells seen shortly after initiating recombination at adult stages incorporated BrdU and contained the proteoglycan NG2 in both the gray (GM) and the white matter (WM) of the cerebral cortex. However, at longer time points after induction, we observed profound differences in the identity of reporter(+) cells in the WM and GM. Whereas most of the Olig2(+) progenitors had generated mature, myelinating oligodendrocytes in the WM, hardly any reporter(+) cells showing mature oligodendrocyte characteristics were detectable even up to 6 months after recombination in the GM. In the GM, most reporter(+) cells remained NG2(+), even after injury, but stopped proliferating rather soon after recombination. Thus, our results demonstrate the continuous generation of mature, myelinating oligodendrocytes in the WM, whereas cells in the GM generated mostly postmitotic NG2(+) glia.

Oligodendrocyte precursors (OPs) continue to proliferate and generate myelinating oligodendrocytes (OLs) well into adulthood.
“Oligodendrocyte precursors (OPs) continue to proliferate and generate myelinating oligodendrocytes (OLs) well into adulthood.”
From Oligodendrocyte Dynamics in the Healthy Adult CNS: Evidence for Myelin Remodeling (2013) · cites this paper as Dimou et al., 2008
The ‘Adult generation of mature oligodendrocytes in the WM’ section reports continued generation of myelinating oligodendrocytes in adult mouse cortical white matter, including at six months. The ‘Mechanisms mediating distinct progeny’ section says gray-matter progenitors proliferate more slowly and that the few oligodendrocytes they generate do not acquire myelinating characteristics. The unqualified claim therefore extends the white-matter finding to oligodendrocyte precursors generally. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSubject MD5828 had high immediate early gene expression in polydendrocytes, consistent with acute injury.
“The dataset-specific component of factor 28 showed that subject MD5828 had high expression of immediate early genes within polydendrocytes (Figure 4D), consistent with an acute injury (Dimou et al., 2008).”

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.
