Migration of schwann cells in peripheral-nerve regeneration.

Abstract:

:Schwann cells play a central role in peripheral-nerve regeneration, in which it has been shown that the addition of exogenous Schwann cells enhances the temporal and spatial sequence of events observed in regeneration. In this study, the authors investigated the fate of exogenous cells in this process by using fluorescently tagged autogenous Schwann cells in an established rat model of peripheral-nerve regeneration. Tracking labeled cells over a 4-week period revealed early migration of Schwann cells into the proximal nerve segment, followed by a concentration of migrating Schwann cells, leading the proximal growth cone throughout the regenerative process. The early proximal distribution of labeled cells suggests active migration in response to nerve damage, with spatial localization at the center of the proximal nerve segment and not the epineural surface. These observations demonstrate an interaction of exogenous Schwann cells with intact nerve tissue in vivo and affirm their role in the directional growth of regenerating axons.
