...Thus, the expression of certain microglia/macrophage molecules may also be in part regulated by the iron metabolism, which is disturbed within the multiple sclerosis brain and lesions (Hametner et al., 2013)....

...Ferritin and ferritin light were found in oligodendrocytes and to a variable extent in microglia or perivascular cells (Hametner et al., 2013)....
[...]
...Digital optical densitometry was performed for markers, which were not exclusively expressed in macrophages and microglia, such as the MHC Class I marker HC10 and ferritin, according to a previously published protocol (Hametner et al., 2013)....

...This hypothesis is supported by accumulation of oxidized DNA and phospholipids in degenerating oligodendrocytes, axons and neurons in active MS lesions,(28) upregulation of antioxidative defense mechanisms,(40) and effective antioxidative treatment for RRMS patients.(41) Potential sources of oxygen and nitric oxide radicals include oxidative burst(13,42,43) and mitochondrial injury,(12) which has been demonstrated in neurons, demyelinated axons,(14,15) oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes(31) in MS cortex and WM lesions....

...Iron has been shown to increase with age in human brains.(6) Densitometric analysis of the iron content revealed a significant correlation of iron load with age in the 30 controls in the subcortical (see Fig 1A) and deep WM (not shown)....

...Within the deep white matter (WM), iron content was comparatively low.(6) In line with previous findings,(8,26) most iron in control NWM and MS NAWM was stored in oligodendrocytes and myelin within ferritin (Supplementary Fig 1)....
