Oligodendrocyte-related miRNAs differentially regulate proliferation in neural progenitor cells from mouse cerebrum and cerebellum
Objective To investigate the effect of oligodendrocyte-related microRNAs (miRNAs) on the proliferation of neural progenitor cells in the central nerve system. Methods Heterozygous mice (Olig1-Cre) were crossed with mice (Dicer1
loxp/loxp
) to obtain crossbred mice (Olig1-Cre
+/-
; Dicer1
loxp/wt
)
and the crossbred mice were then bred with mice (Dicer1
loxp/loxp
) to produce Dicer-CKO mice (Olig1-Cre
+/-
; Dicer1
loxp/loxp
). The Dicer-CKO mice were subject to immunohistochemical assay and BrdU labeling to evaluate the proliferation in oligodendrocyte precursor cells in the cerebrum and cerebellum and the change in the neuron numb
er of the spinal cord. Results The proliferation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells was increased in the cerebral cortex but decreased in the cerebellum in the Dicer-CKO mice
while the number of neurons in the spinal cord had no change. Conclusion Oligodendrocyte-related miRNAs regulate the proliferation of neural progenitor cells differentially in the cerebrum and cerebellum.
