Gene expression profiles from corpus callosum brain tissue obtained from cuprizone-treated mice

Mouse cuprizone (CPZ ) model of experimental de- and remyelination was applied to mimic demyelination pathology of multiple sclerosis. The aim of the study was to profile whole genome expression to identify differentially expressed genes during the demyelinisation and after discontinuation of cuprizon treatment, during rapid remyelinisation in affected areas of mouse corpus callosum. Control mice were kept on a normal diet. The following groups representing de- and remyelinisation pathology in corpus callosum of CPZ-treated mice were compared: Partial demyelination: 2weeks CPZ (dem_2w); Complete demyelination: 4weeks CPZ (dem_4w); Remyelination: 4weeks CPZ + UNTREATED (rem); and UNTREATED control (C). The experiments were performed using 3-4 animals per groups. Nellie,A,Martin
