Remyelination in the human CNS is ascribed to progenitor cells rather than previously myelinating oligodendrocytes (OLs). The ganglioside-recognizing antibody A2B5 has been used to isolate putative progenitor cells, whose in vitro features resemble cells labeled as pre-oligodendrocytes. Here, we compare the transcriptional profiles of adult human brain-derived A2B5 antibody-selected cells (A+) after initial isolation (day in vitro (DIV1)) and after DIV6, with nonselected (A-) cells (mature OLs), with regard to their differentiation state and functional properties. While a number of previously recognized progenitor associated genes, specifically PTPRZ1 and PDGFR alpha, were upregulated in the A2B5+ population, a number of such genes were comparably expressed in the mature OLs, as were mature myelin genes. Additional progenitor-related genes were upregulated in the A+ population. We show that A2B5+ cells have greater capacity to ensheath nanofibers, a model of myelination potential; consistent with this, ingenuity pathway analysis indicated that A+ cells had upregulated expression of genes within cell growth and cell signaling pathways. Differential expression of cell death/survival pathways complements previous functional studies showing their increased susceptibility to metabolic stress. At DIV6, we observed significantly fewer differentially expressed genes; suggestive of cell maturation occurring in vitro, indicating the complexity in comparing in vitro and in situ cell properties.
