Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Oligodenrocytes are glial cells in the central nervous system which are produced from neural stem cells during neural development. Olig2 is an essential transcription factor for oligodendrocyte development.In this study, we screened Olig2-binding proteins. We identified Olig2 binding proteins (OBP1 and OBP2). Overexpression experiment of OBP2 in embryonic mouse brain resulted in elevated expression of myelin-related genes. In addition, generation of central nervous system (CNS)-specific conditional knockout mice resulted in postnatal lethality with CNS abnormality.
