Macrophage recruitment in different models of nerve injury: lysozyme as a marker for active phagocytosis.

Abstract：

:Macrophages play critical roles in both degenerative and regenerative processes following peripheral nerve injury. These include phagocytosis of debris, stimulation of Schwann cell dedifferentiation and proliferation, and salvage of myelin lipids for reutilization during regeneration. To better define the role of macrophages, we studied models of primary demyelination (tellurium intoxication) and secondary demyelination (nerve crush and cut). Sections of paraformaldehyde-fixed rat sciatic nerves at various stages of demyelination were stained with monoclonal antibody ED1, a standard macrophage marker, and a polyclonal antiserum specific for lysozyme (LYS). Near the peak of demyelination in all three models, LYS immunoreactivity colocalized with ED1 staining. Macrophages present in nerve after the period of maximal phagocytosis of myelin were much less immunoreactive for LYS. These results suggest LYS is a good marker for macrophages which are active in phagocytosis. Tellurium intoxication, which causes synchronous demyelination and subsequent remyelination of only about 25% of myelin internodes, recruited more macrophages (and induced more lysozyme expression) than either nerve crush or cut, which cause demyelination of all internodes distal to the injury site. This suggests that Schwann cells may recruit macrophages soon after metabolic insult and prior to actual demyelination. The final signal for macrophage recruitment is not directly related to the amount of damaged myelin. In the models listed above, steady state mRNA levels for apolipoprotein E (ApoE; possible mediator of cholesterol salvage), LYS, and P0 (major structural protein of PNS myelin), were analyzed by Northern blot analysis. LYS mRNA levels peaked sharply in all models, with a temporal pattern consistent with the expected presence of activated, phagocytic macrophages.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
