How neuronal signaling affects brain myelination remains poorly understood. We show dysregulated neuronal RHEB-mTORC1-DLK1 axis impairs brain myelination. NeuronalRhebcKO impairs oligodendrocyte differentiation/myelination, with activated neuronal expression of the imprinted geneDlk1. NeuronalDlk1cKO ameliorates myelination deficit in neuronalRhebcKO mice, indicating that activated neuronalDlk1expression contributes to impaired myelination caused byRhebcKO. The effect ofRhebcKO onDlk1expression is mediated by mTORC1; neuronalmTorcKO andRaptorcKO and pharmacological inhibition of mTORC1 recapitulate elevated neuronalDlk1expression. We demonstrate that both a secreted form of DLK1 and a membrane-bound DLK1 inhibit the differentiation of cultured oligodendrocyte precursor cells into oligodendrocytes expressing myelin proteins. Finally, neuronal expression ofDlk1in transgenic mice reduces the formation of mature oligodendrocytes and myelination. This study identifiesDlk1as an inhibitor of oligodendrocyte myelination and a mechanism linking altered neuronal signaling with oligodendrocyte dysfunction.
