Many extracellular and intrinsic factors regulate oligodendrocyte development, but their signaling pathways remain poorly understood. While the p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK)-dependent pathway is implicated in oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) lineage progression, its molecular targets involved in myelinogenesis are largely unidentified. We have analyzed mechanisms by which p38MAPK regulates oligodendrocyte development and demonstrate that p38MAPK inhibition prevents OPC lineage progression, and inhibits MBP promoter activity and Sox10 function. In white matter tissue, differential levels of MAPK phosphorylation are observed in oligodendrocyte lineage cells. Phosphorylated p38MAPK was found in CC1- and CNP-expressing differentiated oligodendrocytes of the adult brain, and was temporally associated with a decline in the levels of phosphorylated ERK in cells of this lineage. PDGF stimulates the phosphorylation of ERK, p38MAPK and JNK, and p38MAPK inhibition was associated with increased ERK, JNK and c-Jun phosphorylation. In the presence of PDGF, simultaneous inhibition of p38MAPK and either MEK or JNK significantly alleviates the repression of myelin gene expression and lineage progression induced by p38MAPK inhibition alone. Dominant negative c-Jun reverses the inhibition of myelin promoter activity by active MEK1 or dominant negative p38MAPKα mutants, and phosphorylated c-Jun was detected at the MBP promoter following p38MAPK inhibition, indicating c-Jun as a negative mediator of p38MAPK action. Our findings indicate that p38MAPK activity in the brain supports myelin gene expression through distinct mechanisms via positive and negative regulatory targets. We show that oligodendrocyte differentiation involves p38-mediated Sox10 regulation and crosstalk with parallel ERK and JNK pathways to repress c-Jun activity.
