Paclitaxel-Resistant Neurons in Dorsal Root Ganglia
Paclitaxel is an antineoplastic drug, and its usage is often limited by severe peripheral polyneuropathy characterized by symptoms in remote extremities. It is suggested that subpopulations of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons are impacted functionally and/or structurally. In this study, the neurotoxic effect of this drug in cultured rat DRG neurons was analyzed by measuring their neurite leng...
متن کاملMCP-1 enhances excitability of nociceptive neurons in chronically compressed dorsal root ganglia.
Previous experimental results from our laboratory demonstrated that monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) depolarizes or increases the excitability of nociceptive neurons in the intact dorsal root ganglion (DRG) after a chronic compression of the DRG (CCD), an injury that upregulates neuronal expression of both MCP-1 and mRNA for its receptor CCR2. We presently explore the ionic mechanisms...
متن کاملHistone acetylation inhibitors promote axon growth in adult dorsal root ganglia neurons.
Intrinsic mechanisms that guide damaged axons to regenerate following spinal cord injury remain poorly understood. Manipulation of posttranslational modifications of key proteins in mature neurons could reinvigorate growth machinery after injury. One such modification is acetylation, a reversible process controlled by two enzyme families, the histone deacetylases (HDACs) and the histone acetyl ...
متن کاملGene networks activated by specific patterns of action potentials in dorsal root ganglia neurons
Gene regulatory networks underlie the long-term changes in cell specification, growth of synaptic connections, and adaptation that occur throughout neonatal and postnatal life. Here we show that the transcriptional response in neurons is exquisitely sensitive to the temporal nature of action potential firing patterns. Neurons were electrically stimulated with the same number of action potential...
متن کاملContribution of macrophages to enhanced regenerative capacity of dorsal root ganglia sensory neurons by conditioning injury.
Although the central branches of the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons do not spontaneously regenerate, a conditioning peripheral injury can promote their regeneration. A potential role of macrophages in axonal regeneration was proposed, but it has not been critically addressed whether macrophages play an essential role in the conditioning injury model. After sciatic nerve injury (SNI)...
