The role of cGMP-GKI signalling in spinal cord axonal sprouting and regeneration following injury
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
In summary we found that cGMP-GKI signaling is essential for axonal regeneration of DRG sensory axons projecting into the dorsal columns after a SCI. However, cGMP-GKI axis is not important for axonal sprouting or regeneration of 5-HT raphespinal axons or CST and does not affect retraction or die-back of CST fibers, and it does not affect functional recovery after SCI. P53 that is upstream of cGMP-GKI, is required for functional recovery, axonal sprouting and regeneration of 5-HT raphespinal axons and limits CST retraction after SCI. However, the main mechanisms downstream these effects is IGF1 and not cGMP-cGKI. In fact IGF1 is required for p53 dependent enhancement of axonal sprouting and regeneration of 5-HT raphespinal and CST axons after SCI. Ultimately, these studies provided a novel understanding of p53-dependent pathways and of the role of cGMP-cGKI in the control of axonal sprouting and regeneration after SCI.
