Protracted social isolation of adult mice induced behavioral, transcriptional and ultrastructural changes in oligodendrocytes of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and impaired adult myelination. Social re-integration was sufficient to normalize behavioral and transcriptional changes. Short periods of isolation affected chromatin and myelin, but did not induce behavioral changes. Thus, myelinating oligodendrocytes in the adult PFC respond to social interaction with chromatin changes, suggesting that myelination acts as a form of adult plasticity.
长期的成年老鼠社交隔离会导致前额叶皮层(PFC)少突胶质细胞的行为、转录和超微结构改变,并损害成年髓鞘形成。社交再融入足以使行为和转录变化正常化。短期隔离会影响染色质和髓鞘,但不会引起行为变化。因此,成年 PFC 中的髓鞘形成少突胶质细胞会对社交互动做出反应,导致染色质改变,表明髓鞘形成是一种成年期可塑性的形式。
