BMP4 signals via BMPR1 in OPCs to promote myelin formation in vitro. A, Representative micrographs of myelinating DRG/OPC cocultures treated with vehicle (control), BMP4, LDN-193189 (LDN), or both LDN-193189 and BMP4 (LDN+BMP4) for 14 d and immunostained for MBP and Neurofilament. Arrows indicate MBP+ myelin segments colabeled with NFL+ axons. B, Quantification of the number of MBP+ myelinated axonal segments per field from these cocultures. BMP4 treatment significantly reduced the number of MBP+ myelin segments compared with cocultures, which is blocked by the pretreatment of LDN-193189 (LDN+BMP4; N = 4 independent cocultures/group). *p < 0.05, ****p < 0.0001. Scale bar, 30 µm.
