nervous system
• decrease in the number of CC1+-differentiated oigodendrocytes in the spinal cord and corpus callosum at P7 but not P14
• in culture, fewer isolated oligodendrocyte precursor cells differentiate into mature oligodendrocytes
• however, proliferation is similar to wild-type cells
• expression analysis indicates a defect in remyelination at 14 and 21 days after injection of lysophosphatidyl-choline to induce demyelination in the corpus callosum
• in addition, EM analysis shows fewer remyelinated axons and thinner myelin
