Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 23977356 |
| Year | 2013 |
| Title | Limited TCF7L2 Expression in MS Lesions |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | up-regulation |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | our data demonstrate that the expression of TCF7L2 in oligodendrocytes is limited to a certain differentiation stage; however the expression of TCF7L2 is neither restricted to the oligodendroglial lineage nor to (re-)myelinating conditions |
| Mechanism/Pathway | TCF7L2 binds to coeffectors such as β-catenin or histone deacetylases and thereby activates or inhibits the transcription of downstream genes involved in oligodendroglial differentiation |
