Description
Summary:Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) is a large endocytic and signaling molecule broadly expressed by neurons and glia. In adult mice, global inducible ( ) or oligodendrocyte (OL)-lineage specific ablation ( ) of attenuates repair of damaged white matter. In oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), is required for cholesterol homeostasis and differentiation into mature OLs. deficient OPC/OLs show a strong increase in the sterol-regulatory element-binding protein-2 yet are unable to maintain normal cholesterol levels, suggesting more global metabolic deficits. Mechanistic studies revealed a decrease in peroxisomal biogenesis factor-2 and fewer peroxisomes in OL processes. Treatment of OPCs with cholesterol or activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ with pioglitazone alone is not sufficient to promote differentiation; however, when combined, cholesterol and pioglitazone enhance OPC differentiation into mature OLs. Collectively, our studies reveal a novel role for in peroxisome biogenesis, lipid homeostasis, and OPC differentiation during white matter development and repair.
