In the central nervous system (CNS) myelin is produced by oligodendrocytes (OLs) that differentiate from oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) throughout life. Demyelination and neurodegeneration are observed in many forms of white matter injury and disease, one of which is multiple sclerosis (MS). OPCs accumulate and fail to differentiate into OLs within MS lesions, inside which there is an increase in the levels of extracellular hyaluronic acid (HA), a linear glycosaminoglycan polymer that can be mega-Daltons in size. HA fragments produced by the enzymatic digestion of high molecular weight HA have been shown to inhibit OPC differentiation and myelin formation. There is debate as to which specific hyaluronidase generates these smaller, inhibitory HA fragments. These studies could lead to the identification of CEMIP as a new therapeutic target to promote functional remyelination in a variety of demyelinated lesions, such as preterm white matter injury and MS. 000008324 540__ $$fCC BY 000008324 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000008324 650__ $$aHyaluronic Acid$$020392 000008324 650__ $$aExtracellular Matrix$$018796 000008324 650__ $$aMultiple Sclerosis$$022506 000008324 650__ $$aCentral Nervous System$$016312 000008324 6531_ $$aCEMIP 000008324 6531_ $$amyelination 000008324 6531_ $$aoligodendocytes 000008324 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008324 692__ $$aDepartment of Cell, Developmental and Cancer Biology$$041399 000008324 7001_ $$aPeters, Alec$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008324 7001_ $$aBanine, Fatima$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008324 7001_ $$aSu, Weiping$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008324 7001_ $$aPham, Peter$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008324 7001_ $$aSherman, Lawrence$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008324 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2020 000008324 8564_ $$9219adb70-8644-45df-9827-731d1a0e5870$$s43229$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8324/files/ResearchWeek.2020.Peters.Alec.pdf 000008324 905__ $$a/rest/prod/pr/76/f4/11/pr76f411b 000008324 980__ $$aResearch Week
