Abstract
Several disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) are associated with misassembled myelin sheaths, which are produced and maintained by oligodendrocytes (OL). Recently, the OL proteome has been explored to identify key proteins and molecular functions associated with CNS disorders. We developed an innovative approach to select, with a higher level of confidence, a relevant list of splice variants from a proteome dataset and detected the mRNA expression of five selected variants: EEF1D, KRAS, MFF, SDR39U1, and SUGT1. We also described splice variants extracted from OL proteome data. Among the splice variants identified, some are from genes previously linked to CNS and related disorders. Our findings may contribute to oligodendrocyte characterization and encourage other research groups to investigate the biological role of splice variants and to improve current treatments and diagnostic methods for CNS disorders.
