title: Coexpression of thyroid hormone receptor isoforms in mouse oligodendrocytes.
abstract: Double and triple immunocytochemistry with stage-specific markers and specific antireceptor antibodies was used to study expression of nuclear thyroid hormone receptor (TR) isoforms in cultured mouse oligodendrocytes. To evaluate the coexpression of each TR isoform, antibodies were raised in rabbits and mice against specific regions of alpha1-TR and alpha2-TR common to both alpha isoforms and beta1-TR. Their specificities were assessed by Western blotting and by immunocytochemistry on rat hepatocytes. Oligodendrocyte subpopulations were found to coexpress the alpha- and beta1-TR epitopes at defined developmental stages. Both alpha- and beta1-TR isoforms are colocalized in oligodendrocytes during an early stage identified by the marker OL-1, before 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphohydrolase is expressed. Expression of beta1-TR varies during maturation, and that of alpha-TR decreases during terminal maturation.
