摘要: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients are predisposed to learning disabilities, macrocephaly, and brain tumors as well abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging that postulated result from abnormal myelination. Here we show Nf1 +/- spinal cords in adult mice have more than twofold-increased numbers of NG2+ progenitor cells. -/- embryonic increased Olig2+ progenitors. Also, cultures mutant embryos with hemizygous biallelic mutations dramatically CNS oligodendrocyte In medium allows growth neuroepithelial cells glial progenitors, hyper-respond FGF2, basal FGF-stimulated Ras-GTP, fail accumulate when treated a farnesyltransferase inhibitor. Cell accumulation results part proliferation decreased cell death. contrast wild-type cells, progenitors express the differentiation marker O4 while retaining expression nestin. also abnormally coexpress markers GFAP. Importantly, cord-derived which amplified 12-fold, retain ability form oligodendrocytes after vivo transplantation. The data reveal key role for neurofibromin Ras signaling maintenance pools suggest potential defects NF1 patients.
