We found a reduction of polysialic acid and trisialic acid expression in several retinal layers in Gne+/− mice at 9 months of age compared to Gne+/+ wildtype (WT) mice, which was associated with a higher microglial expression of the lysosomal marker CD68. Furthermore, the total number of rod bipolar cells was reduced in 12 months old Gne+/− mice in comparison to WT mice, demonstrating loss of these retinal interneurons. Transcriptome analysis showed up-regulation of complement, inflammation, and apoptosis-related pathways in the retinas of Gne+/− mice. Particularly, increased gene transcript levels of the complement factors <i>C3</i> and <i>C4</i> and the pro-inflammatory cytokine <i>Il-1β</i> were observed by semi-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (sqRT-PCR) in 9 months old Gne+/− mice compared to WT mice. The increased expression of CD68, loss of rod bipolar cells, and increased gene transcription of complement factor <i>C4</i>, were all prevented after crossing Gne+/− mice with complement factor <i>C3</i>-deficient animals.

The day of onset, peak disease severity, and cumulative clinical score were all significantly reduced in ferritin KO animals. This corresponded to better performance on the rotarod and increased mobility in ferritin KO mice. Furthermore, the spinal cord of ferritin KO mice display decreased numbers of reactive astrocytes, activated microglia, and infiltrating lymphocytes. Correspondingly, the size of demyelinated lesions, iron accumulation, and oxidative stress were attenuated in the CNS of ferritin KO subjects, particularly in white matter regions of the spinal cord. Thus, deleting ferritin in astrocytes reduced neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and myelin deterioration in EAE animals.

We have previously shown that while prohibitins play a crucial role in Schwann cell mitochondria for long-term myelin maintenance and axon health, they may also be present at the Schwann cell-axon interface during development.
