abstractText | Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by myelin sheath injury. A disintegrin and metalloprotease-17 (ADAM17), a disintegrin and metalloproteinase, is essential in regulating oligodendrocyte (OL) regeneration and remyelination under demyelinating conditions. iRhom1, a highly conserved inactive protease that belongs to the rhomboid family, is one of key regulators for ADAM17 maturation. However, it is unknown whether iRhom1 also plays a role in central neuron system myelination under demyelinating conditions like MS. In this study, we investigated the function of iRhom1/ADAM17 in cognitive capability in MS by establishing the mice with iRhom1 overexpression in the hippocampus. |
