چکیده
Circulating macrophages are recruited to degenerating nerves in response to nerve injury to remove myelin and axonal debris, a process that is crucial for successful nerve regeneration. In this study, we demonstrate that pancreatitis-associated protein (PAP)-III is a macrophage chemoattractant that is induced in and released from injured nerves. In vitro experiments revealed that PAP-III possessed a strong macrophage chemoattractant activity that was comparable with that of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. In addition, gene knockdown via adenovirus-mediated small interference RNA expression in isolated sciatic nerves successfully suppressed PAP-III expression and its macrophage chemoattractant activity. Furthermore, overexpression or knockdown of the PAP-III gene in crushed sciatic nerves in rats resulted in acceleration or retardation of macrophage recruitment and subsequent nerve regeneration, respectively. Collectively, our results demonstrate that PAP-III is a novel macrophage chemoattractant that is involved in peripheral nerve regeneration and further provide new insights into Schwann cell-macrophage interactions and therapeutic interventions.

Purpose:The regeneration of axon and myelin sheet after crush injury of peripheral nerves involves interaction of several types of cells, including Schwann cells, monocyte, macrophage and fibroblast. Among them, haematogenous macrophages invading into the peripheral nervous systein play a major role in myelin uptake during Wallerian degeneration. Materials and Methods: In this study 35 C57/BL6 ...
متن کاملCCL2 Mediates Neuron-Macrophage Interactions to Drive Proregenerative Macrophage Activation Following Preconditioning Injury.
CNS neurons in adult mammals do not spontaneously regenerate axons after spinal cord injury. Preconditioning peripheral nerve injury allows the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) sensory axons to regenerate beyond the injury site by promoting expression of regeneration-associated genes. We have previously shown that peripheral nerve injury increases the number of macrophages in the DRGs and that the act...

متن کاملInvolvement of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, macrophage inflammatory protein-1a and interleukin-1b in Wallerian degeneration
Wallerian degeneration in the CNS and PNS consists of degradation and phagocytosis of axons and their myelin sheath distal to the site of injury. This process of degeneration, which requires an effective macrophage response, occurs rapidly in peripheral nerves but is slow in the CNS. Rapid Wallerian degeneration in peripheral nerves may contribute to subsequent axonal regeneration. We show that...
