Cholesterol supplementation does not rescue Fig4Floxed/plt, P0-Cre hypomyelination in vitro. (A and B) Cholesterol supplementation accelerates myelination of control explants after 7 days of ascorbic acid treatment, quantified in (G), P = 0.03305, n = 6. (CF) Cholesterol supplementation does not rescue hypomyelination in Fig4Floxed/plt, P0-Cre cultures following 7 days of ascorbic acid treatment. (H) Cholesterol supplementation does not rescue hypomyelination also after 15 days of ascorbic acid treatment, as myelin segments in mutant cultures were decreased when compared with controls without cholesterol supplementation (P = 0.00071) and with cholesterol supplementation (P = 0.00868), n = 6. (H) Note that, after 15 days of cholesterol supplementation, control cholesterol-treated and untreated cultures produced the same amount of myelin, as previously reported (29). Red is MBP, myelin basic protein. Bar in (B) and (F) is 50 µm. Control genotypes are Fig4Floxed/plt and Fig4Floxed/Floxed.
