P70S6 kinase regulates oligodendrocyte differentiation and is active in remyelinating lesions.

ABSTRACT: The p70 ribosomal S6 kinases (p70 ribosomal S6 kinase 1 and p70 ribosomal S6 kinase 2) are downstream targets of the mechanistic target of rapamycin signalling pathway. p70 ribosomal S6 kinase 1 specifically has demonstrated functions in regulating cell size in Drosophila and in insulin-sensitive cell populations in mammals. Prior studies demonstrated that the mechanistic target of the rapamycin pathway promotes oligodendrocyte differentiation and developmental myelination; however, how the immediate downstream targets of mechanistic target of rapamycin regulate these processes has not been elucidated. Here, we tested the hypothesis that p70 ribosomal S6 kinase 1 regulates oligodendrocyte differentiation during developmental myelination and remyelination processes in the CNS. We dem
