Axonal regeneration from CNS neurons in the cerebellum and brainstem of adult rats: correlation with the patterns of expression and distribution of messenger RNAs for L1, CHL1, c-jun and growth-associated protein-43

Some neurons in the brain and spinal cord will regenerate axons into a living peripheral nerve graft inserted at the site of injury, others will not. We have examined the patterns of expression of four molecules thought to be involved in developmental and regenerative axonal growth, in the cerebellum and brainstem of adult rats, following the implantation into the cerebellum of peripheral nerve grafts. We also determined how the expression patterns observed correlate with the abilities of neurons in these regions to regenerate axons. Three days to 16 weeks after insertion of living tibial nerve autografts, neurons which had regenerated axons into the graft were retrogradely labelled from the distal extremity of the graft with cholera toxin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase, and sections through the cerebellum and brainstem were processed for visualization of transported tracer and/or hybridized with riboprobes to detect messenger RNAs for the cell recognition molecules L1 and CHL1 (close homologue of L1), growth-associated protein-43 and the cellular oncogene c-jun. Retrogradely labelled neurons were present in cerebellar deep nuclei close to the graft and in brainstem nuclei known to project to the cerebellum. Neurons in these same nuclei were found to have up-regulated expression of all four messenger RNAs. Individual retrogradely labelled neurons also expressed high levels of L1, CHL1, c-jun or growth-associated protein-43 messenger RNAs (and vice versa), and every messenger RNA investigated was co-localized with at least one other messenger RNA. Purkinje cells did not regenerate axons into the graft or up-regulate L1, CHL1 or growth-associated protein-43 messenger RNAs, but there was increased expression of c-jun messenger RNA in some Purkinje cells close to the graft. Freeze-killed grafts produced no retrograde labelling of neurons, and resulted in only transient and low levels of up-regulation of the tested molecules, mainly L1 and CHL1.These findings show that cerebellar deep nucleus neurons and precerebellar brainstem neurons, but not Purkinje cells, have a high propensity for axon regeneration, and that axonal regeneration by these neurons is accompanied by increased expression of L1, CHL1, c-jun and growth-associated protein-43. Furthermore, although the patterns of expression of the four molecules investigated are not identical in regenerating neuronal populations, it is probable that all four are up-regulated in all neurons whose axons regenerate into the grafts and that their up-regulation may be required for axon regeneration to occur. Finally, because c-jun up-regulation is seen in Purkinje cells close to the graft, unaccompanied by up-regulation of the other molecules investigated, c-jun up-regulation alone cannot be taken to reliably signify a regenerative response to axotomy.     

兔口服炔诺酮肟和炔诺酮的药代动力学

本文用高效液相色谱分离、液闪测定放射性的方法,测定了兔口服炔诺酮肟(NETO)和炔诺酮(NET)的血浓,并比较了二者的药代动力学参数。结果表明:二者吸收迅速,从血中的消除均呈快慢两个时相。NETO在兔体内一部分迅速转变为NET,另一部分则以原药形式存在,24 h内NETO与其代谢产物NET在血清中的浓度大致各占一半。兔口服NETO与NET后,血浓—时间曲线符合二室模型,NETO的达峰时间比NET短,二者有显著差异(P<0.05),其它动力学参数无明显差异(P>0.05)。
