چکیده

Trophic support and myelination of axons by Schwann cells in the PNS are essential for normal nerve function. Herein, we show that deletion of the LDL receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) gene in Schwann cells (scLRP1(-/-)) induces abnormalities in axon myelination and in ensheathment of axons by nonmyelinating Schwann cells in Remak bundles. These anatomical changes in the PNS were associated with mechanical allodynia, even in the absence of nerve injury. In response to crush injury, sciatic nerves in scLRP1(-/-) mice showed accelerated degeneration and Schwann cell death. Remyelinated axons were evident 20 d after crush injury in control mice, yet were largely absent in scLRP1(-/-) mice. In the partial nerve ligation model, scLRP1(-/-) mice demonstrated significantly increased and sustained mechanical allodynia and loss of motor function. Evidence for central sensitization in pain processing included increased p38MAPK activation and activation of microglia in the spinal cord. These studies identify LRP1 as an essential mediator of normal Schwann cell-axonal interactions and as a pivotal regulator of the Schwann cell response to PNS injury in vivo. Mice in which LRP1 is deficient in Schwann cells represent a model for studying how abnormalities in Schwann cell physiology may facilitate and sustain chronic pain.

C-fiber structure varies with location in peripheral nerve.

Recent advances in regeneration and pain research have revealed gaps in the understanding of normal C-fiber anatomy. In the rat PNS, C-fiber axons assemble into Remak bundles, but beyond this, features of C-fiber organization are not defined. Systematic sampling and quantitation reveals that Remak bundles exiting from the L5 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) contain large numbers of axons, for example...

The collapsin response mediator protein 5 onconeural protein is expressed in Schwann cells under axonal signals and regulates axon-Schwann cell interactions.

Collapsin response mediator protein 5 (CRMP5) is one of the rare peripheral nerve antigens that is a target of autoantibodies in a paraneoplastic peripheral neuropathy. The pattern of axonal and myelin alterations suggests that CRMP5 is involved in axon-Schwann cell interaction. We examined CRMP5 expression and function in primary cultures of Schwann cells and neurons and at various development...

Data on the effect of in vivo knockdown using artificial ErbB3 miRNA on Remak bundle structure

Mature Schwann cells, the peripheral nervous system (PNS) glial cells, have two major roles for neuronal axons (Bunge, 1993) [1]. For large diameter axons, Schwann cells form myelin sheaths with multiple layers. For small diameter axons, they form Remak bundle composed only of single layer of the Schwann cell plasma membrane. In the PNS, ErbB3 forms a dimer with ErbB2 on the Schwann cell plasma...

Sustained axon-glial signaling induces Schwann cell hyperproliferation, Remak bundle myelination, and tumorigenesis.

Type III neuregulins exposed on axon surfaces control myelination of the peripheral nervous system. It has been shown, for example, that threshold levels of type III beta1a neuregulin dictate not only the myelination fate of axons but also myelin thickness. Here we show that another neuregulin isoform, type III-beta3, plays a distinct role in myelination. Neuronal overexpression of this isoform...

Nuclear factor-κB activation in Schwann cells regulates regeneration and remyelination.

Schwann cells (SCs) are crucial for peripheral nerve development and regeneration; however, the intrinsic regulatory mechanisms governing postinjury responses are poorly understood. Activation and deacetylation of nuclear factor-κB (NF- κB) in SCs have been implicated as prerequisites for peripheral nerve myelination. Using GFAP-IκBα-dn mice in which NF- κB transcriptional activation is inhibit...
