Abstract

Damage to myelinated axons contributes to neurological deficits after acute CNS injury, including ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Potential treatments to promote re-myelination will require fully differentiated oligodendrocytes, but almost nothing is known about their fate following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Using a rat model of ICH in the striatum, we quantified survival, proliferation, and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) (at 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days) in the peri-hematoma region, surrounding striatum, and contralateral striatum. In the peri-hematoma, the density of Olig2+ cells increased dramatically over the first 7 days, and this coincided with disorganization and fragmentation of myelinated axon bundles. Very little proliferation (Ki67+) of Olig2+ cells was seen in the anterior subventricular zone from 1 to 28 days. However, by 3 days, many were proliferating in the peri-hematoma region, suggesting that local proliferation expands their population. By 14 days, the density of Olig2+ cells declined in the peri-hematoma region, and, by 28 days, it reached the low level seen in the contralateral striatum. At these later times, many surviving axons were aligned into white-matter bundles, which appeared less swollen or fragmented. Oligodendrocyte cell maturation was prevalent over the 28-day period. Densities of immature OPCs (NG2+Olig2+) and mature (CC-1+Olig2+) oligodendrocytes in the peri-hematoma increased dramatically over the first week. Regardless of the maturation state, they increased preferentially inside the white-matter bundles. These results provide evidence that endogenous oligodendrocyte precursors proliferate and differentiate in the peri-hematoma region and have the potential to re-myelinate axon tracts after hemorrhagic stroke.
