Transferrin (Tf) is a glycoprotein playing a critical role in iron homeostasis and transport and distribution throughout the body and within tissues and cells. This molecule has been shown to accelerate the process of myelination and remyelination in the central nervous system (CNS) in vivo and induce oligodendroglial cell maturation in vitro. While the mechanisms involved in oligodendroglial precursor cell (OPC) differentiation have not been fully elucidated yet, our group has previously described the first molecular events taking place in OPC in response to extracellular Tf. Here, we show the effect of Tf on the different glial cell populations. We demonstrate that, after a CNS demyelinating injury, Tf can be incorporated by all glial cells-i.e., microglia, astrocytes, and OPC-and that, acting on microglial cells in vitro, Tf increases microglial proliferation rates and phagocytic capacity. It may be then speculated that the in vivo correlation of this process could generate a favorable microenvironment for OPC maturation and remyelination.
