| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigate the effectiveness and mechanism of hypothermia for the inhibition of pre-OLs damage in PVL using in vivo and I vitro studies. For in vivo studies, the loss of myelin basic protein (MBP) was inhibited by hypothermia. For in vitro studies, hypothermia inhibited apoptosis of pre-OLs, and despite specific down-regulation of 21.5- and 17-kDa MBP mRNA expression during hypothermia, recovery of the expression after OGD was superior compared with normothermia. OGD caused disarrangement of MBP distribution, decreased levels of phosphorylated 21.5-kDa MBP, and disturbed the capacity to contact with neurons, all of which were restored by hypothermia. U0126 treatment during/after OGD significantly reduced the protective effects of hypothermia on apoptosis and myelination, respectively. These data suggest that phosphorylated exon 2-containing MBP isoforms may play critical roles in myelination via ERK1/2 phosphorylation.
