Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the brain and spinal cord with a presumed autoimmune etiology. Conduction block in demyelinated axons underlies early neurological symptoms, whereas axonal transection is believed responsible for more permanent later deficits. Approved treatments for the disease are immunoregulatory, and reduce the rate of lesion formation and clinical exacerbation, but are only partially effective in preventing the onset of disability in MS patients. Approaches that directly protect myelin-producing oligodendrocytes and enhance remyelination may improve long-term outcomes and reduce the rate of axonal transection. Studies in genetically modified animals have improved our understanding of mechanisms underlying CNS pathology in MS models, and have identified pathways that regulate oligodendrocyte viability and myelin repair. However, although clinical trials are ongoing, many have been unsuccessful and no treatments are yet approved that target these areas in MS. In this review, we examine avenues for oligodendrocyte protection and endogenous myelin repair in animal models of de- and remyelination, and their relevance as therapeutics in human patients.
