For in vitro myelination system, Schwann cells and neuronal cells of rat were cocultured. Schwann cells and neuronal cells, respectively, were obtained from dorsal root ganglion of rat embryos (E15). This method includes four steps: first step of suspension of the embryonic dorsal root ganglion cells, second step of addition of anti-mitotic cocktail, third step of purification of dorsal root cells, and fourth step of addition of Schwann cells to dorsal root ganglion cells. We made a highly purified population of myelination in a short period through this procedure and identified myelination basic protein using antibody of myelination basic protein.

Myelination using Schwann cells and neuron cells was performed in rat. Schwann cells and neuron cells from dorsal root ganglion (DRG) of rat embryos (E16) were cultured, respectively. The embryonic DRG cells purified were cultured and anti-mitotic agents were added. Purified the embryonic Schwann cells were cultured and added to the embryonic DRG cells purified. A purified population of myelination in vitro system was accomplished and identified formation of myelination using antibody of neurofilament protein.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the developmental process of myelination by neuron and Schwann cell cultures and the development of demyelination by herpes simplex virus-1 infection by electron microscopy and molecular biological analysis. The dorsal root ganglion (DRG) was isolated from the mouse embryo and Schwann cells and neuronal cells were cultured in vitro. Neuronal cells treated with mitotic inhibitors and purified Schwann cells were co-cultured together to induce myelination. The herpes simplex virus-1 was infected with the co-cultured cells, and the demyelination was induced. The myelin protein zero (MPZ) antibody, which means the presence of myelin formation, was used and electron microscopy was used to observe the development of myelin and dehydration.

Many viruses including mouse hepatitis virus, corona, measles, and sidbis viruses are known as causative virus of inducing demyelination which means destruction of myelination in nervous system of mice. The purpose of this study is to investigate processing of myelination by co-culture of Schwann cells and neuronal cells and demyelination induced by infection of sindbis virusin rat. Schwann cells and neuronal cells from dorsal root ganglion (DRG) in embryos (E16) of rat were cultured in vitro respectively. The purified neuronal cells with anti-mitotic agents and purified Schwann cells were co-cultured. After that, infection of sindbis virus into this myelinated co-culture system was performed. Myelination and demyelination process were observed using antibody of myelin basic protein meaning presence of myelination.We identified myelination and demyelination processing using antibody of peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP 22) meaning presence of myelinated neuron. This study was supported by the Basic Research Program through the National Research Foundation (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Science, ICT & Future Planning (NRF-2015R1C1A1A01053484 and 2017R1A2B3005753).

The dorsal root ganglion (DRG) was isolated from mouse embryos and Schwann cells and neuronal cells were cultured in vitro. The neurons and Schwann cells were cultured separately and the two kinds of cells were cultured together for three weeks. Generation of myelination was confirmed by transmission electron microscope and confocal microscope using a myelinaion protein, myelin protein zero (MPZ) antibody. The sindbis virus was infected for three days in the myelinated culture cells and then demyelination was carried out. The process of demyelination was also confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and confocal microscopy using myelin protein zero (MPZ) antibody. The study was supported by a Basic Research Program through the National Research Foundation (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology, ICT and Future Plans (NRF-2016R1A2B4016552 and 2017R1A2B3005753).

The study of Schwann cell myelination has been facilitated by the availability to isolate and establish pure population of primary Schwann cells. Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) of mouse embryo as source of Schwann cells were used in this study. This method includes three steps: first step of dissociation of the embryonic DRG, second step of expansion of Schwann cell precursors, followed by mechanical separation of the Schwann cell-neuronal network from the underlying fibroblasts, and third step of purification of Schwann cells from the associated neurons and subsequent expansion of the purified Schwann cells. We made a highly purified population of Schwann cells and Schwann cell-neuron networks in a short period using this procedure.
