Image caption:
In vitro time-lapse imaging of cyto-GFP labelled OPC-like cells in shiverer myelinating cultures reveal dynamic cellular interactions. Neurospheres expressing cyto-GFP under the β-actin promoter were added to myelinating cultures prepared from shiverer embryos on DIV 13 and visualised on DIV 17 over 24 hours in 4 min intervals, using a Nikon TE2000 time-lapse microscope (40×, 0.75NA short distance working lens) with perfect focus. A–I) Images captured from a time-lapse sequence illustrate cells with morphology typical of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). Spirals of processes appear over the neurites. Both the cell soma and processes are highly motile, continually moving along the neurites. Processes appear to move over the nerve bundles (arrows and asterisk). J) Manual tracking of the cell bodies of the entire video illustrates the pathway of the putative OPC-like cells (asterisks green and blue) over time, demonstrating their highly motile behaviour. K) A sister culture was immunostained for myelin (PLP/DM20; green) and neurites/axons (SMI-31; red) on DIV 27, demonstrating that the added cyto-GFP neurospheres myelinated the axons.

Image caption:
Time-lapse imaging of fluorescently labelled cells in association with neurites in vitro. A–E) Myelinating cultures generated from a mix of wild type/beta-actin mice were visualised using time-lapse microscopy (Nikon TE2000 (60×, 0.75NA) over 16 hr in 5 min intervals on DIV 27 after the addition of wild type neurospheres previously infected with lentivirus carrying dsRed/GFP gene and addition of cyto-GFP cells. Two cell types were followed over time, one that expressed DS red/cyto-GFP and the other cyto-GFP. A–E) Strongly positive green cells typical of cyto-GFP morphologically resembled oligodendrocytes in contact with neurite bundles. The membrane appears to ruffle and form flaps/bubbles (arrow). In addition, the soma changes its location with respect to the neurite processes, over time, by moving closer to the neurite bundle. C–E) Dynamic imaging over 7.5 hours of a dsred/GFP labelled cell (asterisk) which was engulfed by a cell resembling a microglial cell (yellow arrow). This fluorescence was very much weaker than the cells generated from the beta-actin cyto-GFP mouse. Time frames obtained with 40× magnification (long distance working lens) and without perfect focus.

Time-lapse imaging of the putative assembly of myelin membrane. A) Neurospheres expressing farns-GFP were added to shiverer myelinating cultures on DIV 19 and time-lapse imaging (Nikon TE2000) was performed on 29 DIV, over 24 hr with 4 min time intervals. Ai–iv) Magnified view of the inset in A illustrates a farns-GFP process looping around a presumptive neurite and forming a membranous protrusions or ‘bubble’ (yellow arrow head). This membrane bubble appears to moves along the neurite over time. See Video S3. B) The cells from the Petri dish imaged with confocal microscopy were immunostained with anti-GFP and anti-MBP to confirm differentiation of cyto-GFP labelled oligodendrocytes.C–F) Time-lapse sequence of the same culture for a period of 30 hours, with 3 min time interval, on 24 DIV revealed membrane cuffs (arrowheads) extending and joining up over a neurite. After about 13 hours, the farns-GFP-positive cuffs were observed to form a single, united thick membrane sheath over a neurite. G) Manual tracking of the pathway of a weakly GFP-positive cell which was possibly associated with the membranous fragments.

Time-lapse imaging of the elongation of a putative farns-GFP labelled myelin-like sheath. Neurospheres expressing farns-GFP were added to shiverer myelinating cultures on 19 DIV and time-lapse imaging (Nikon TE2000) performed on 26 DIV, for a period of 14 hr with 4 min time interval. Ai–iii) A farns-GFP process increases in length by 10 μm, over the time course. Membranous protrusions were seen (yellow arrowhead) in addition to the cell body of the farns-GFP labelled oligodendrocyte-like cell (yellow arrow). B) MBP staining of cells in the Petri dish using a Zeiss 710 (×63, 1.4NA) after imaging confirms that farns-GFP expressing cells belong to the oligodendroglial lineage.

Image caption:
Immunohistochemistry of transplanted neurospheres demonstrate that cyto-GFP labelled cells form early and mature myelinating oligodendrocytes. Cyto-GFP-expressing neurospheres were transplanted into a shiverer mouse 3, 7 or 15 days post-transplantation, and 10 µm thick frozen sections were cut and immunolabelled with antibodies to GFP and MBP. Low magnification image of a dorso-vental section of spinal cord, 15 days post-transplantation showing GFP (A) and MBP (B) immunostaining. Transplanted cells were located in both grey and white matter (dorsal columns are delineated by the dotted lines) and expressed MBP-positive myelin sheaths. C) A pre-myelinating cell in which multiple fine GFP positive processes emanate from a central cell body. The soma is also lightly stained with MBP, confirming the identity of the cell as that of the oligodendroglial lineage. MBP-positive myelin sheaths, belonging to a second cell are seen in the bottom left hand corner of the images. D) An early myelinating cell in which short MBP-positive profiles are present at the periphery of the GFP-positive soma. All images were obtained using epifluorescence Olympus microscope (FV10 ASW). Representative images from at least 30 separate experiments.

Image caption:
Confocal images of transplanted cyto-GFP expressing cells in the shiverer spinal cord. Four weeks after transplantation of cyto-GFP expressing neurospheres, fixed sections of the shiverer spinal cord were immunolabelled for MBP (red) and GFP (green). A) A cyto-GFP labelled cell appears to extend spirals of cytoplasm around an MBP-positive myelin-like sheath (yellow arrows). Below the cell body, cyto-GFP is seen at the lateral edges (in relation to the long axis of the sheaths, white arrow) of adjacent sheaths and probably represents the cytoplasm filled paranodal loops on either side of the node of Ranvier (asterisks). B) Schematic of visualisation of the sections in C and D. Ci–ii and Di–ii) Spiral of GFP cytoplasm was followed by focussing up and down through the plane of view where they crossed up, traversed the axonal surface, then crossed down again representing the looping as shown in the schematic in B. E–G) 3D reconstruction of cyto-GFP structures (E), illustrates cyto-GFP either side of a space typical of a node of Ranvier (white arrows). F) is a tilted perspective of E) and shows the cyto-GFP form complete rings (white arrows representing the same position in E), consistent with the morphology of paranodal loops. I) Asymmetric caspr positive structures in association with cyto-GFP, at either side of a heminode. On the left, caspr forms a single vertical line and co-localises with cyto-GFP from the myelinating cell. On the right, caspr appears like a loose coil, consistent with its pattern of expression in non-myelinated axons. All images were acquired using an Olympus FV1000 confocal microscope (×60, 1.35NA). Representative images from at least 10 separate experiments.

Coimmunofluorescence of MBP (Magenta, rat antibody) and Myc (red, mouse antibody), and GFP fluorescence (green) in myelinated plp-dKO DRG cultures transduced with lentiviruses expressing GFP and treated with tamoxifen for 10 d. Even at high exposure, Myc staining did not cross-react with MBP staining. To avoid cross-reactivity, we used multiple labeling (adsorbed against many animal species, including rat for antimouse and mouse for antirat) secondary antimouse and antirat antibodies. Antibody concentrations and staining protocol (buffers, incubation times and temperature, washes) were the same as for stainings presented in Fig 9A. Nuclei are labeled in blue with DAPI.

Image caption:
Experimental design and analysis of de- and remyelination in the dorsal hippocampal DG in wildtype mice. (B) Myelination in the hippocampal DG was analyzed by MBP staining. The rectangles indicate the regions of interest: Hilus and granular layer (GL) plus subgranular zone (SGZ). (C) In the GL plus SGZ, a significant demyelination after cuprizone treatment was observed. (D) In the hilus of the dorsal hippocampal DG, the myelin changes were more pronounced. Values are shown as means + S.D. (n = 6 per group). Statistical significance was evaluated using (C) a one-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey post-hoc test or (D) a Kruskal–Wallis test followed by a Dunn’s post-hoc test. The p-values are indicated in the graphs: *p <0.05, and **p <0.01. Bars: (B) 500μm.
