Abstract

SummaryThe signaling mechanisms neurons use to modulate myelination of circuits in the central nervous system (CNS) are only partly understood. Through analysis of isoform-specificneuregulin1(nrg1) mutants, we identifynrg1type II as an important regulator of myelination in the zebrafish CNS, required for normal myelination of two classes of spinal cord neurons. Surprisingly,nrg1type II reporter expression is prominent in unmyelinated Rohon-Beard (RB) sensory neurons, while myelination of interneurons controlling the escape response circuit is reduced innrg1type II mutants. Cell type-specific loss-of-function studies indicate thatnrg1type II is required in RB neurons to signal to other neurons, not oligodendrocytes, to modulate spinal cord myelination. Together, our data support a model in which unmyelinated neurons express Nrg1 type II proteins to regulate myelination of circuit partners, a mode of action that may coordinate function of circuits in the CNS involving both unmyelinated and myelinated neurons.Summary pointsnrg1type II is required for normal myelination of diverse neuronal classes in the zebrafish spinal cordSurprisingly,nrg1type II reporter expression is prominent in unmyelinated Rohon-Beard neuronsCell type-specific knockdown indicates that myelination of CoPA neurons requiresnrg1type II function in unmyelinated Rohon-Beard neuronsThe Nrg1 receptorerbb2is required in neurons, but not oligodendrocytes, for normal myelination
