Abstract:
:During regeneration of injured peripheral nerves, local conditions may influence how regenerative axon sprouts emerge from parent axons. More extensive lesions might be expected to disrupt such growth. In this work, we discovered instead that long segmental crush injuries facilitate the growth and maturation of substantially more axon sprouts than do classical short crush injuries (20 mm length vs. 2 mm). At identical distances from the proximal site of axon interruption there was a 45% rise in the numbers of neurofilament labeled axons extending through a long segmental crush zone by 1 week. By 2 weeks, there was a 35% greater density of regenerating myelinated axons in long compared with short crush injuries just beyond (5 mm) the proximal injury site. Moreover, despite the larger numbers of axons, their maturity was identical and they were regular, parallel, associated with Schwann cells (SCs) and essentially indistinguishable between the injuries. Backlabeling with Fluorogold indicated that despite these differences, the axons arose from similar numbers of parent motor and sensory neurons. Neither injury was associated with ischemia. Both injuries were associated with rises in GFAP (glial acidic fibrillary protein) and p75 mRNAs, markers of SC plasticity but p75, GFAP and brain-derived neurotrophic factor mRNAs did not differ between the injuries. There was a higher local mRNA level of GAP43/B50 at 7 days following injury and a higher sonic hedgehog protein (Shh) mRNA at 24 h in long crush zones. GAP43/B50 protein and SHH protein both had prominent localization within regenerating axons. Long segmental nerve trunk crush injuries do not impair regeneration but instead generate greater axon plasticity that results in larger numbers of mature myelinated axons. The changes occur without apparent change in SC activation, overall nerve architecture or nerve blood flow. While the mechanism is uncertain, the findings indicate that manipulation of the nerve microenvironment can induce substantial changes in regenerative sprouting.
