- W4367296097 abstract "<h3>Objective:</h3> To characterize the role of RNA polymerase III (Pol III) in oligodendrocyte development. <h3>Background:</h3> Hypomyelinating leukodystrophies are a heterogeneous group of rare, genetic white matter disorders characterized by insufficient myelin deposition in development. They typically present in early development and lead to progressive neurodegeneration and premature death in the months to years following onset. RNA polymerase III-related hypomyelinating leukodystrophy (POLR3-HLD) is one of the most common hypomyelinating leukodystrophies and arises from biallelic pathogenic variants in genes encoding subunits of Pol III, a ubiquitous enzymatic complex. Myelin, produced by oligodendrocytes (OLs) in the central nervous system, insulates axons, enabling efficient propagation of action potentials. As the constitutive nature of Pol III would suggest a multi-system organ disease, it is unclear why OLs are particularly vulnerable to reduced Pol III activity to explain the devastating hypomyelination seen in POLR3-HLD. <h3>Design/Methods:</h3> Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) undergo a complex developmental process to become OLs. Therefore, we hypothesized that reduced Pol III activity would lead to defective OL-lineage development, either in the 1) migration and proliferation of OPCs, 2) maturation of OPCs into OLs and/or 3) myelination. To investigate this, primary murine OPCs were isolated and transfected with siRNA targeting <i>Polr3a, Polr3b</i> or <i>Polr1c</i> and subjected to various <i>in vitro</i> assays. <h3>Results:</h3> Our data shows that reducing Pol III activity leads to a maturation defect, as evidenced by reduced morphological complexity and decreased expression of late-stage OL markers. Apoptotic marker staining indicates these cells remain alive. Analysis of the OPC stage demonstrated abnormal proliferation, while migration was unaffected. Ongoing myelination assays suggest this altered oligodendrogenesis impacts myelination. <h3>Conclusions:</h3> Our results suggest a role for Pol III in normal OL development, providing valuable insight into the cellular mechanisms underlying myelination failure in POLR3-HLD. <b>Disclosure:</b> Ms. Macintosh has nothing to disclose.
