Abstract:
:Root-spinal cord regeneration was investigated in immature and adult rats. The elongation in the dorsal root of regrowing dorsal root axons, rerouted ventral root nerve fibres (cholinergic neurons) or hypogastric nerve fibres (catecholaminergic neurons) is impeded as they meet the astrocyte dominated CNS tissue of the root. The establishment of synaptoid nerve terminals as the regrowing axons encounter astrocytes indicates a mechanism for growth inhibition other than a physical impediment in the CNS environment. The glial cells of the CNS segment in the root are influenced by the type of regenerating nerve fibres in terms of maintenance, multiplication and phenotypic expression. After a dorsal root lesion in the neonatal rat several root axons may reinnervate the spinal cord. In these rats, the normal establishment of a CNS root segment has been disrupted and the PNS-CNS border is situated central to the root-spinal cord junction. Implantation of cut dorsal roots into the spinal cord of adult rats results in the extension of processes from intrinsic spinal cord neurons out into the root. After implantation of avulsed ventral roots into the ventro-lateral aspect of the cord, axonal regrowth and functional restitution of alpha-motoneurons could be demonstrated by intracellular recordings and injections with horseradish peroxidase. These results show that regeneration can occur across a PNS-CNS interface that has been established secondary to a trauma in the mature animal and in the immature animal before the astrocyte-rich CNS root segment has been developed.
