The purpose of this study was to determine the regulatory mechanism of protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type Z (PTPRZ), which inhibits oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination/remyelination. Here we revealed that the expression of pleiotrophin is transiently upregulated in damaged neurons after demyelination. Pleiotrophin may be released from demyelinated axons and bind to PTPRZ at the cell surface of oligodendrocyte precursor cells, thereby releases the block of differentiation into oligodendrocyte, so the remyelination of neighboring axon is initiated.
