Schwann cells ER-associated degradation contributes to myelin maintenance in adult nerves and limits demyelination in CMT1B mice

In the peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelinating Schwann cells synthesize large amounts of myelin protein zero (P0) glycoprotein, an abundant component of peripheral nerve myelin. In humans, mutations in P0 cause the demyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1B (CMT1B) neuropathy, one of the most diffused genetic disorders of the PNS. We previously showed that several mutations, such as the...

Injured axons instruct schwann cells to build constricting actin spheres to accelerate axonal disintegration

Vaquié, Adrien ; Sauvain, Alizée ; Duman, Mert ; Nocera, Gianluigi ; Egger, Boris ; Meyenhofer, Felix ; Falquet, Laurent ; Bartesaghi, Luca ; Chrast, Roman ; Lamy, Christophe Maurice ; Bang, Seokyoung ; Lee, Seung-Ryeol ; Jeon, Noo Li ; Ruff, Sophie ; Jacob, Claire

After a peripheral nerve lesion, distal ends of injured axons disintegrate into small fragments that are subsequently cleared by Schwann cells and later by macrophages. Axonal debris clearing is an early step of the repair process that facilitates regeneration. We show here that Schwann cells promote distal cut axon disintegration for timely clearing. By combining cell-based and in vivo...
