Gut microbiota regulates optic nerve fiber myelination by Giulia Ronchi, Davide Pellegrino, Marwa El Soury, Olga Amato, Francesco Gaia, Sajjad Farzin, Raffaele Nuzzi, Marijana Basic, Silvia Bolsega, Stefano Geuna, Matilde Cescon, Kirsten Haastert-Talini, Kirsten Haastert-Talini, Giovanna Gambarotta

“…However, no data are available on the possible effect of the gut microbiota on the optic nerve fiber maturation and myelin development.MethodsWe investigated the impact of gut microbiota on the optic nerves collected from neonatal and young adult germ-free (GF), gnotobiotic (stably colonized with 12 bacteria strains, OMM12) and control (colonized with a complex gut microbiota, CGM) mice, by performing stereological and morphoquantitative analyses with transmission electron microscopy and gene expression analysis by quantitative real-time PCR.ResultsYoung adult GF and OMM12 optic nerve axons are smaller and hypermyelinated compared to CGM ones, while no such differences were detected in neonatal optic nerves. …”
