Astrocytes(ASTs)and oligodendroglial lin-eage cells(OLGs)are major macroglial cells in the cen-tral nervous system.ASTs communicate with each other through connexin(Cx)and Cx-based network structures,both of which allow for quick transport of nutrients and signals.Moreover,ASTs interact with OLGs through con-nexin(Cx)-mediated networks to modulate various physi-ological processes in the brain.In this article,following a brief description of the infrastructural basis of the glial net-works and exocrine factors by which ASTs and OLGs may crosstalk,we focus on recapitulating how the interactions between these two types of glial cells modulate myelina-tion,and how the AST-OLG interactions are involved in protecting the integrity of the blood-brain barrier(BBB)and regulating synaptogenesis and neural activity.Recent studies further suggest that AST-OLG interactions are associated with myelin-related diseases,such as multiple sclerosis.A better understanding of the regulatory mechanisms underly-ing AST-OLG interactions may inspire the development of novel therapeutic strategies for related brain diseases.
