The role of myelin and oligodendrocytes in axonal energy metabolism.

TLDR
Studying axo-glial signalling and energy metabolism will lead to a better understanding of neurodegenerative diseases, in which axonal energy metabolism fails, including neurological disorders as diverse as multiple sclerosis, leukodystrophies, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Building a (w)rapport between neurons and oligodendroglia: Reciprocal interactions underlying adaptive myelination.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review recent findings addressing this reciprocal relationship in which neurons alter oligodendroglial form and oligodenrocytes conversely modulate neuronal function.

Structural myelin defects are associated with low axonal ATP levels but rapid recovery from energy deprivation in a mouse model of spastic paraplegia

TL;DR: Surprisingly, when Plpnull/y optic nerves are challenged with transient glucose deprivation, both ATP levels and CAP decline slower, but recover faster upon reperfusion of glucose, implying that complex metabolic alterations of the axon–myelin unit contribute to the phenotype of Plp null/y mice.

Proteomic Profiling in the Brain of CLN1 Disease Model Reveals Affected Functional Modules

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of laser capture microdissection-based quantitative liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (MS) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight MS imaging was used to quantify/visualize the changes in protein expression in disease-affected brain thalamus and cerebral cortex tissue slices, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Classic and Golli Myelin Basic Protein have distinct developmental trajectories in human visual cortex

TL;DR: The unique pattern of Golli-MBP expression across the lifespan suggests that it supports high levels of neuroimmune interaction in cortical development and in aging.

Axonal transection in the lesions of multiple sclerosis.

TL;DR: Transected axons are common in the lesions of multiple sclerosis, and axonal transection may be the pathologic correlate of the irreversible neurologic impairment in this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glutamate uptake into astrocytes stimulates aerobic glycolysis: a mechanism coupling neuronal activity to glucose utilization

TL;DR: It is reported that glutamate, in addition to its receptor-mediated actions on neuronal excitability, stimulates glycolysis--i.e., glucose utilization and lactate production--in astrocytes and is consistent with data obtained from functional brain imaging studies indicating local nonoxidative glucose utilization during physiological activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple Sclerosis: An Immune or Neurodegenerative Disorder?

TL;DR: Data that support neurodegeneration as the major cause of irreversible neurological disability in MS patients are reviewed and it is questioned whether inflammatory demyelination is primary or secondary in the disease process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Axonal damage in acute multiple sclerosis lesions.

TL;DR: The results show the expression of amyloid precursor protein in damaged axons within acute multiple sclerosis lesions, and in the active borders of less acute lesions, which may have implications for the design and timing of therapeutic intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oligodendroglia metabolically support axons and contribute to neurodegeneration

TL;DR: It is shown that the most abundant lactate transporter in the central nervous system, monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1, also known as SLC16A1), is highly enriched within oligodendroglia and that disruption of this transporter produces axon damage and neuron loss in animal and cell culture models.
