Overcoming macrophage-mediated axonal dieback following CNS injury.
Trauma to the adult CNS initiates multiple processes including primary and secondary axotomy, inflammation, and glial scar formation that have devastating effects on neuronal regeneration. After spinal cord injury, the infiltration of phagocytic macrophages coincides with long-distance axonal retraction from the initial site of injury, a deleterious phenomenon known as axonal dieback. We have p...
متن کاملMultipotent adult progenitor cells prevent macrophage-mediated axonal dieback and promote regrowth after spinal cord injury.
Macrophage-mediated axonal dieback presents an additional challenge to regenerating axons after spinal cord injury. Adult adherent stem cells are known to have immunomodulatory capabilities, but their potential to ameliorate this detrimental inflammation-related process has not been investigated. Using an in vitro model of axonal dieback as well as an adult rat dorsal column crush model of spin...
متن کاملInflammatory Response Following Diffuse Axonal Injury
DAI is a leading cause of the patient's death or lasting vegetable state following severe TBI, and up to now the detailed mechanism of axonal injury after head trauma is still unclear. Inflammatory responses have been proved to be an important mechanism of neural injury after TBI. However, most of these studies are concerned with focal cerebral injury following head trauma. In contrast to focal...
متن کاملProtection of FK506 against neuronal apoptosis and axonal injury following experimental diffuse axonal injury
Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is the most common and significant pathological features of traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, there are still no effective drugs to combat the formation and progression of DAI in affected individuals. FK506, also known as tacrolimus, is an immunosuppressive drug, which is widely used in transplantation medicine for the reduction of allograft rejection. Previous ...
متن کاملThe unusual response of serotonergic neurons after CNS Injury: lack of axonal dieback and enhanced sprouting within the inhibitory environment of the glial scar.
Serotonergic neurons possess an enhanced ability to regenerate or sprout after many types of injury. To understand the mechanisms that underlie their unusual properties, we used a combinatorial approach comparing the behavior of serotonergic and cortical axon tips over time in the same injury environment in vivo and to growth-promoting or growth-inhibitory substrates in vitro. After a thermocoa...
