Inward rectifying Kir4.1 channels regulate oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation and CNS myelination in vivo

The functions of Kir4.1 in oligodendrocyte development have been in controversial. We recently reported that inhibiting Kir4.1 impeded oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) differentiation and oligodendrocyte (OL) maturation, due to Kir4.1 altering intracellular pH of OPCs through Na+/H+ exchangers. However, our conclusion was limited by in vitro observation, thereby it becomes necessary to seek in vivo evidence to determine the roles of Kir4.1 on OPC development and CNS myelination. Here, we used Olig1-Cre to knockout Kir4.1 in OPCs from the early developmental stage. We found that the cell-specific deletion of Kir4.1 significantly impeded OPC differentiation and reduced the number of mature OLs in the cerebral cortex and the corpus callosum. Hence, our in vivo evidence supports that Kir4.1 can regulate OPC differentiation and is essential to CNS myelination.
