Establishment of immortalized Schwann cells derived from rat embryo dorsal root ganglia
Schwann cells (SCs) play an important role in the development, function and regeneration of peripheral nerves. They can enhance both peripheral and central nerve regeneration by providing a supportive environment for neurite outgrowth through the release of neurotrophic factors. However, use of primary SCs for in vitro models is limited because these cells are difficult to prepare and maintain ...
متن کاملNerve repair with adipose-derived stem cells protects dorsal root ganglia neurons from apoptosis.
Novel approaches are required in the clinical management of peripheral nerve injuries because current surgical techniques result in deficient sensory recovery. Microsurgery alone fails to address extensive cell death in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG), in addition to poor axonal regeneration. Incorporation of cultured cells into nerve conduits may offer a novel approach in which to combine nerve ...
متن کاملElectrophysiological properties of sodium current subtypes in small cells from adult rat dorsal root ganglia.
1. Whole-cell and single-channel Na+ currents were recorded from small (ca. 20 micron diameter) cells isolated from adult rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Currents were classified by their sensitivity to 0.3 microM tetrodotoxin (TTX), electrophysiological properties and single-channel amplitude. Cells were classified according to the types of current recorded from them. 2. Type A cells expressed ...
متن کاملOntogeny of calretinin expression in rat dorsal root ganglia.
The relationship between the expression of calretinin and the maturation level of peripheral sensory neurons was investigated by means of immunohistochemistry and immunoblot analysis. Our immunohistochemical results show that calretinin is expressed during two different developmental phases in rat dorsal root ganglia. The early phase lasts between embryonic days 11 and 14, when calretinin is de...
متن کاملIntracellular multiplication of leprosy-derived mycobacteria in Schwann cells of dorsal root ganglion cultures.
Organized nerve cultures of dorsal root ganglia from neonatal mice were infected with Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agent of leprosy. A significant multiplication of the acid-fast bacilli was observed within the Schwann cell component of the culture. The growth of these bacilli was sensitive to antileprosy drugs and was not observed directly in bacteriological media. These organisms were ...
