Fig. 7. ApoE promotes oligodendroglial differentiation via LRP1.
The results of the differentiation assay: A. illustrating that lipid-free ApoE4 addition to the differentiation medium increases the amount of O4-positive oligodendrocytes generated from LRP1+/+ (N = 4). This suggests that LRP1-dependent ApoE uptake promotes the differentiation of NSPCs towards oligodendrocytes. B. Oligodendroglial differentiation of LRP1−/− NSPCs is not altered upon ApoE4 treatment. Data are expressed as mean ± SE (* indicates P < 0.05, ** — P < 0.01).
