Brain N-acetylaspartate as detected by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy correlates with central nervous system impairment in patients with white matter disorders
, Italian Journal of Neurological Sciences, Vol: 18, ISSN: 0392-0461The use of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MRI) has provided important new insights into the understanding of brain white matter (WM) disorders. However, brain WM abnormalities as detected by conventional MRI do not always give a reliable indication of the severity of the patients' clinical status. Proton MR Spectroscopy (MRS) has demonstrated decreases in N-Acetylaspartate (NAA) in the brains of patients with different brain WM disorders. NAA, a putative index of axonal damage or loss, has shown a strong correlation with the degree of disability in patients with multiple sclerosis. In this study, we used single voxel proton MRS for assessing brain NAA in 13 patients affected by 13 different pathologies involving the brain white matter. Results showed that brain NAA to creatine ratio correlated strongly with patients' central nervous system impairment (measured using the Functional Status Scale) (r= -0.77, p<0.003). hi contrast, a strong relationship was not found between brain abnormalities detected by conventional MRI and patients' clinical status. Our study suggests that the axonal damage that leads to decreases in NAA can be independent of the degree of white matter abnormalities appearing on conventional MRI and may represent a more proximate cause of functional impairment in different brain WM diseases.

Contrasting effects of mitogenic growth factors on oligodendrocyte precursor cell migration
, GLIA, Vol: 19, Pages: 85-90, ISSN: 0894-1491We have examined the effects of the mitogenic growth factors platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and glial growth factor-2 (GGF-2) on oligodendrocyte precursor migration. In an agarose drop migration assay PDGF and bFGF stimulated migration while GGF-2 had no effect. The migration-enhancing effect of bFGF cannot be blocked by neutralising antibodies against PDGF, confirming that this effect is direct and not mediated via upregulation of PDGF receptors. Based on our results, we propose a model in which the differing effects of PDGF and GGF-2 ensure appropriate numbers of oligodendrocyte precursor cells in the vicinity of axons to be myelinated during development.
