Article Abstract
B cell clonal expansion and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) oligoclonal IgG bands are established features of the immune response in multiple sclerosis (MS). Clone-specific recombinant monoclonal IgG1 Abs (rAbs) derived from MS patient CSF plasmablasts bound to conformational proteolipid protein 1 (PLP1) membrane complexes and, when injected into mouse brain with human complement, recapitulated histologic features of MS pathology: oligodendrocyte cell loss, complement deposition, and CD68+ phagocyte infiltration. Conformational PLP1 membrane epitopes were complex and governed by the local cholesterol and glycolipid microenvironment. Abs against conformational PLP1 membrane complexes targeted multiple surface epitopes, were enriched within the CSF compartment, and were detected in most MS patients, but not in inflammatory and noninflammatory neurologic controls. CSF PLP1 complex Abs provide a pathogenic autoantibody biomarker specific for MS.

Synthesized by oligodendrocytes (OLGs) in the central nervous system (CNS), the myelin sheath is a multilamellar structure that enables the rapid transmission of action potentials and provides metabolic support to the axons it surrounds. In multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic neurological disorder, the myelin membrane becomes the target of immune-mediated attacks. These attacks trigger the release of inflammatory cytokines and activate microglia (MG) and astrocytes, leading to severe demyelination and neurodegeneration.

Glial cells of the enteric nervous system (ENS) interact closely with the intestinal epithelium and secrete signals that influence epithelial cell proliferation and barrier formation in vitro. Whether these interactions are important in vivo, however, is unclear because previous studies reached conflicting conclusions (Prochera and Rao, 2023). To better define the roles of enteric glia in steady state regulation of the intestinal epithelium, we characterized the glia in closest proximity to epithelial cells and found that the majority express the gene Proteolipid protein 1 () in both mice and humans.

Small GTP-binding proteins of the Rab family regulate intracellular vesicle trafficking across many aspects of the transport system. Among these, Rab9 is recognized for its role in controlling the transport system not only around the trans-Golgi network but also around the late endosome. However, the specific functions across different cell types and tissues remain unclear.

Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD, currently known as hypomyelinating leukodystrophy type 1 [HLD1]) is a hereditary hypomyelinating and/or demyelinating disease associated with the proteolipid protein 1 (plp1) gene in the central nervous system (CNS). One of the major causes of this condition is incomplete or defective oligodendroglial cell myelin sheath formation triggered by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and subsequent unfolded protein response (UPR). The HLD1-associated Ala-243-to-Val mutation (p.

During myelination, large quantities of proteins are synthesized and transported from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-trans-Golgi network (TGN) to their appropriate locations within the intracellular region and/or plasma membrane. It is widely believed that oligodendrocytes uptake neuronal signals from neurons to regulate the endocytosis- and exocytosis-mediated intracellular trafficking of major myelin proteins such as myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) and proteolipid protein 1 (PLP1). The small GTPases of the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ribosylation factor (Arf) family constitute a large group of signal transduction molecules that act as regulators for intracellular signaling, vesicle sorting, or membrane trafficking in cells.
