Myelination depends on maintenance of oligodendrocytes that arise from oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). We show that the dynamic nature of oligodendroglia and myelination are regulated by the circadian transcription factor BMAL1. Bmal1 knockdown in OPCs during development - but not adulthood - decreases OPC proliferation, whereas BMAL1 regulates OPC morphology throughout life. OPC-specific Bmal1 deficiency impairs remyelination in an age-dependent manner, suggesting that age-associated decrements in circadian regulation of oligodendroglia may contribute to the deficient remyelination potential in demyelinating diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS). This oligodendroglial dysregulation and dysmyelination increase sleep fragmentation in OPC-specific Bmal1 knockout mice, and sleep fragmentation is causally associated with MS. These findings have broad mechanistic and therapeutic implications for numerous brain disorders that include both myelin and sleep phenotypes. One-Sentence SummaryBMAL1 regulates the homeostatic maintenance of oligodendroglia and myelin, that subsequently controls sleep architecture.
