| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of the current study was to elucidate the mechanism of demyelination from the change of myelin condition and the function of the protease of oligodendrocytes. In experimental autoimmune allergic encephalitis, changes of the condition of myelin occurred earlier than previously thought. The involvement of KLK6 was also suggested. In contrast, demyelination by cuprizone administration was caused by different mechanism with less involvement of KLK6. KLK6 was also partially involved in demyelination after spinal cord injury. From the study of cultured oligodendrocytes, KLK6 may play a role during demyelination rather than development of oligodendrocytes.
