Aim and methodsDifferent types of insults to the CNS lead to axon demyelination. Remyelination occurs when the CNS attempts to recover from myelin loss and requires the activation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells. With the rationale that CB1 receptor is expressed in oligodendrocytes and marijuana consumption alters CNS myelination, we study the effects of the cannabinoid agonist WIN55212.2 in (1) an invitro model of oligodendrocyte differentiation and (2) the cuprizone model for demyelination. ResultsThe synthetic cannabinoid agonist WIN55212.2 at 1M increased the myelin basic protein mRNA and protein expression invitro. During cuprizone-induced acute demyelination, the administration of 0.5mg/kg WIN55212.2 confers more myelinated axons, increased the expression of retinoid X receptor alpha, and declined nogo receptor expression. Controversially, 1mg/kg of the drug increased the number of demyelinated axons and reduced the expression of nerve growth factor inducible, calreticulin and myelin-related genes coupling specifically with a decrease in 2,3-cyclic nucleotide 3 phosphodiesterase expression. ConclusionThe cannabinoid agonist WIN55212.2 promotes oligodendrocyte differentiation invitro. Moreover, 0.5mg/kg of the drug confers neuroprotection during cuprizone-induced demyelination, while 1mg/kg aggravates the demyelination process.
