本文用微量显微注射法,在金鱼视网膜的背侧用亲脂类荧光染料DiI标记少量神经节细胞,通过顺行标记研究了视神经再生过程中视网膜顶盖投射的精确化过程。在损伤视神经后的不同时期观察了再生视神经纤维在顶盖整装片上的分布。在再生早期它们以超出正常的途径由背腹两侧进入顶盖,广泛分布。但其中大部分仍分布于顶盖腹侧的靶区。在再生晚期通过精确化,重建如正常鱼一样精确的视网膜顶盖投射。这个精确化过程表现在以下三方面:(1)再生于顶盖错误区域的再生视神经纤维的消失;(2)再生早期视神经纤维主干上生长的侧部分支的消失;(3)到达靶区的再生视神经纤维形成重迭的终末分支。由以上结果推测,顶盖中可能存在两类不同的因子:一类是普通诱向因子,存在于整个顶盖中,它在再生早期引导再生的视神经纤维长入顶盖。另一类是神经营养因子,它具区域特异性,在再生晚期引导视神经纤维到达顶盖靶区,形成精确的视网膜顶盖投射。 相似文献

Peripheral nerve interactions and regenerative phenomena were studied in newt forelimbs fused end to end. After simple fusion, one or two spikelike structures regenerated at the plane of fusion in 88% of the cases. When one of the limbs was denervated at the time of fusion, no regeneration occurred from the plane of fusion. If the limbs were fused and one was amputated at the shoulder more than 10 days after fusion, regeneration from the amputation surface did not occur. When the limbs were reamputated 30 days later, regeneration of left limbs from the proximodistally reversed right limb stumps followed. If one of the limbs was denervated at the time of fusion, and amputation was subsequently carried out through the formerly denervated limb, regeneration always took place after the first amputation. On the basis of these results it is postulated that when regenerating nerves of opposite proximodistal polarity meet head-on, the majority of fibers, at least, do not grow into territories occupied by the other nerve. These results have also demonstrated that full limb regeneration can occur at a greater distance from the midline than the end of a normal limb. These experiments also provide a technique for artificially elongating peripheral nerves. 相似文献

Hedgehog proteins are important in the development of the nervous system. As Desert hedgehog (Dhh) is involved in the development of peripheral nerves and is expressed in adult nerves, it may play a role in the maintenance of adult nerves and degeneration and regeneration after injury. We firstly investigated the Dhh-receptors, which are expressed in mouse adult nerves. The Dhh receptor patched(ptc)2 was detected in adult sciatic nerves using RT-PCR, however, ptc1 was undetectable under the same experimental condition. Using RT-PCR in purified cultures of mouse Schwann cells and fibroblasts, we found ptc2 mRNA in Schwann cells, and at much lower levels, in fibroblasts. By immunohistochemistry, Ptc2 protein was seen on unmyelinated nerve fibers. Then we induced crush injury to the sciatic nerves of wild-type (WT) and dhh-null mice and the distal stumps of injured nerves were analyzed morphologically at different time points and expression of dhh and related receptors was also measured by RT-PCR in WT mice. In dhh-null mice, degeneration of myelinated fibers was more severe than in WT mice. Furthermore, in regenerated nerves of dhh-null mice, minifascicular formation was even more extensive than in dhh-null intact nerves. Both dhh and ptc2 mRNA levels were down-regulated during the degenerative phase postinjury in WT mice, while levels rose again during the phase of nerve regeneration. These results suggest that the Dhh-Ptc2 signaling pathway may be involved in the maintenance of adult nerves and may be one of the factors that directly or indirectly determines the response of peripheral nerves to injury. 相似文献

There are currently no available options to promote nerve regeneration through chronically denervated distal nerve stumps. Here we used a rat model of delayed nerve repair asking of prior insertion of side-to-side cross-bridges between a donor tibial (TIB) nerve and a recipient denervated common peroneal (CP) nerve stump ameliorates poor nerve regeneration. First, numbers of retrogradely-labelled TIB neurons that grew axons into the nerve stump within three months, increased with the size of the perineurial windows opened in the TIB and CP nerves. Equal numbers of donor TIB axons regenerated into CP stumps either side of the cross-bridges, not being affected by target neurotrophic effects, or by removing the perineurium to insert 5-9 cross-bridges. Second, CP nerve stumps were coapted three months after inserting 0-9 cross-bridges and the number of 1) CP neurons that regenerated their axons within three months or 2) CP motor nerves that reinnervated the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle within five months was determined by counting and motor unit number estimation (MUNE), respectively. We found that three but not more cross-bridges promoted the regeneration of axons and reinnervation of EDL muscle by all the CP motoneurons as compared to only 33% regenerating their axons when no cross-bridges were inserted. The same 3-fold increase in sensory nerve regeneration was found. In conclusion, side-to-side cross-bridges ameliorate poor regeneration after delayed nerve repair possibly by sustaining the growth-permissive state of denervated nerve stumps. Such autografts may be used in human repair surgery to improve outcomes after unavoidable delays. 相似文献

When rat soleus muscles fibers regenerated after notexin-induced damage, AChRs were present at high density on the surface of the new muscle fibers at the sites of the original NMJs, even if the intact motor axons were not present during regeneration. Some AChR molecules which were labelled with R-BgTx before notexin-induced damage persisted for some days at junctional sites after new muscle fibres had regenerated. During muscle fiber degeneration, components of the muscle fiber plasma membrane appeared to remain longer in the junctional region than elsewhere. When muscles on which new "ectopic" NMJs had been forming for at least 2 weeks were damaged, AChR clusters together with sites of high AChE activity were present 2 weeks later on the regenerated muscles in the region of new NMJ formation, even if the "foreign" nerve was not intact during the period of regeneration. If ectopic NMJs had been forming for only 4 days at the time of muscle and nerve damage, neither AChR clusters nor AChE activity were detected on the regenerated muscle fibers. 相似文献

Fiber replacement has been measured in adult mdx mouse limb skeletal muscles. During the first 10 days after birth all fibers appear normal; between Week 3 and 4 there is massive fiber degeneration followed by regeneration in which close to 100% of the fibers are repaired or replaced. New fibers arising in adult mice are characterized by expression of fetal myosin mRNAs in whole muscle extracts, and by staining of individual fibers with an embryonic myosin heavy chain-specific antibody. By 10 weeks of age new fiber replacement rate, indicated by frequency of fibers reacting with antibody, is reduced to about 10%, and by 1 year of age less than 1% of the fibers are being replaced at rates above control. Total fiber number also remains fairly constant. We conclude that the fibers regenerating up to 10 weeks of age become stabilized and do not undergo further rounds of degeneration and regeneration. This is consistent with the observed benign phenotype of adult mdx animals and with the idea that once-regenerated fibers escape the catastrophic dystrophic phenotype by acquiring a function that compensates for their mdx mutation. The mechanism by which regenerated mdx fibers restore adequate function in the absence of dystrophin may, when understood, provide clues to effective nongenetic interventions for muscular dystrophy in humans where regenerated fibers continue to degenerate and where the disease is often fatal. 相似文献

Regeneration of the barley zygote in ovule culture 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

An ovule culture technique has been established for barley that allows the regeneration of plants from zygotes. An average of 1.3 plantlets per ovule could be regenerated from more than 60% of the cultured ovules and about 75% of the regenerated plantlets developed into normal, fertile plants. The same regeneration frequencies were obtained in intact ovules and in ovules where the two integuments had been removed from the micropylar region. Unfertilized ovules and ovules where the fertilized eggs had been destroyed by a microinjection needle did not give rise to embryo-like structures. Plants could be regenerated from the zygote at the same frequency at developmental stages from immediately after fertilization until the formation of bicellular embryos. This tissue culture system appeared to be largely independent of genotype since similar regeneration frequencies were obtained in two different barley cultivars, Igri and Alexis, that in anther and microspore culture behave differently. The same technique has also been applied successfully in the wheat cultivar Walter. 相似文献

Collateral sprouting occurs following end-to-side neurorrhaphy 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Recent evidence supports the use of end-to-side neurorrhaphy for the treatment of certain peripheral nerve disorders. However, the mechanism by which nerves regenerate following this procedure is still unclear. To address this question, the authors designed a new end-to-side coaptation model in rats in which the donor nerves were uninjured. The regenerated axons at the coaptation site were observed directly using fluorescent dye as the neural tracer. The sciatic nerve from adult Wistar rats was transplanted between the left and right median nerves. Fifteen rats were divided into three groups. In group I, the donor (right median) nerve was sutured end to side to the divided grafted nerve using a noninjury technique. In group II, the aponeurosis of the spinal muscles was harvested and the sciatic and right median nerves were coapted end to side noninjuriously by wrapping them in the excised aponeurosis. In group III, a perineurial window was created and a partial neurectomy was carried out at the suture site, after which the sciatic and right median nerves were sutured end to side. Sixty days after the operation, nerve regeneration was evaluated by recording action potentials in the grafted nerve, by performing electromyography in the flexor muscles in the forearm, and by histological examination. The grafted nerves were fixed and sectioned, the number of regenerated nerve fibers was counted, and axonal diameters were measured. Fluorescent dye crystal was used, in conjunction with confocal microscopy, to observe the regenerated axons at the co-aptation site. The results showed that nerve regeneration had occurred in the animals, as determined electrophysiologically and histologically. Both the right and left flexor muscles of the forearm contracted simultaneously as a result of indirect electric stimulation of the grafted nerve, which suggests that the regenerated nerve was physiologically connected with the donor nerve. Nerve fiber counts did not show any differences among groups (p > 0.05), but axonal diameters were significantly greater in group III than in the other two groups. Fluorescent dye staining revealed the presence of regenerated nerve fibers beyond the coaptation site. In group III, the regenerating nerves were observed within the whole section of the coaptation site and collateral sprouting was found to occur even at a site distal to the suture. From these results, the authors conclude that in end-to-side neurorrhaphy, nerve regeneration occurs by collateral sprouting from the donor nerve. 相似文献

Distribution of myelinated nerves in ascending nerves and myenteric plexus of cat colon 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The parts of the colon differ in motor function and in responses to extrinsic and intrinsic nerve stimulation. The distribution of myelinated nerve fibers in the colonic myenteric plexus is not known. Because these fibers might be largely extrinsic in origin, their distribution might indicate the domain of influence of extrinsic nerves and help to explain the different behaviors of the different parts of the colon. Myelinated fibers were examined by electron microscopy in cross sections of the ascending nerves and in myelin-stained whole-mount preparations in the colon. The ascending nerves are much like one another. They have the structure of peripheral nerves, not that of myenteric plexus. The proportion of myelinated fibers in the ascending nerves declines rostrad with no uniform change in total nerve fiber number. Cross-sectional areas of ascending nerves, 3,304 to 7,448 microns 2; total number of nerve fibers per profile, 703-2,651; and mean myelin coat thickness, 0.45 +/- 0.01 micron, do not change uniformly along the ascending nerves. Myelinated fibers are about 2% of total fibers in the extramural colonic nerves, 7-9% in the ascending nerves in the sigmoid colon, and 2-3% at the rostrad ends of the ascending nerves in the transverse colon. Blood vessels lie at the core of each ascending nerve and on the nerve sheath. Myelinated fibers in the ascending nerves degenerate after section of colonic branches of the pelvic plexus and after section of the pudendal nerves, indicating that myelinated nerves reach the colon through both pathways.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The amount of the myelin fibers (MF) has been calculated in transversal serial sections of the nervous-vascular complexes of the splenic artery in newborns, in persons of mature (the 1st and 2d periods), elderly and old ages. In each age group 20 complexes have been studied. The total amount of the MF in persons of mature age (the 1st period) in 4.2-6 times greater (initial--terminal parts of the plexus) than in newborns, in the persons of old age it is 4-2.1 times less than in persons of mature age (in both cases P less than 0.001). Thin MF predominate, their relative contents in the aggregate of all classes of the MF in newborns are 92%, in mature persons--87%, in old persons--65%. Decreasing part of the thin MF together with increase of their absolute amount in the mature persons, comparing to the newborns, depends on higher rates in differentiation of middle and thick MF. Phenotyping peculiarities and stages of productive development, stabilization (the 1st-2d periods of the mature age), involutions of the nerve connections are defined in the splenic artery. The amount of the MF predominates in the nerves of the initial part of the plexus comparing to its terminal part. There is a direct correlative dependence between the amount of the MF in the plexus nerves and the size of the lumen in the splenic artery. Changes in the amount of the MF of different classes reflects qualitative differences of the splenic innervation relations at certain stages of the human postnatal development. 相似文献

Normally, urodele limb regeneration is nerve-dependent. Reduction in nerve-dependency has been reported for regenerating, transplanted newt limbs (Singer and Mutterperl, '63). Aneurogenic limbs can regenerate without nerves (Yntema, '59). Induction of supernumerary limbs may be obtained from aneurogenic limbs of larval Ambystoma after transplantation orthotopically to innervated larvae and with normal nerve ingrowth to the limb transplant prevented by repeated section of brachial nerves. Of the 13 (of 43) grafts with supernumeraries, nerve counts showed 11 with 0–5; 1 with 5–10; and 1 with 20+ fibers. Orthotopically grafted aneurogenic limbs allowed to become innervated showed 14 supernumeraries in 49 grafts. This supernumerary limb induction is thus not nerve-dependent. Normally, innervated larval Ambystoma limbs grafted orthotopically and heteroplastically regenerated in 17 of 37 cases after repeated section of brachial nerves. Of the 17 regenerates nerve counts showed 4 with 0–5; 5 with 5–10; 7 with 10–19; and 1 with 20+ fibers. Larval limbs heteroplastically transplanted may require very few or no nerves for regeneration. 相似文献

Summary The effect of hypophysectomy on the nerve fiber pattern in the median eminence and infundibular stem of the rat has been investigated by a slightly modified Bodian technique. Postoperative changes in the distribution of neurosecretory material and connective tissue and changes in vascularity have also been studied.Extensive regeneration of the fibers of the supraoptico-hypophyseal and paraventriculo-hypophyseal tract could be demonstrated. It is most pronounced at the distal extremity of the infundibular stem but occurs also in the rostral part of the infundibular stem and in the median eminence. Regeneration starts in the second postoperative week and is completed about four weeks later. The nervous regeneration observed in the pituitary area after hypophysectomy is more extensive than is usually encountered after lesions elsewhere in the central nervous system.It could be demonstrated moreover that neurosecretory material accumulates at the same sites in which the terminals of the regenerated nerve fibers can be found. Hypophysectomy also causes an increase in capillary density and connective tissue content of the infundibular stem. Accumulations of neurosecretory material are always found in areas showing a high capillary density and a considerable amount of connective tissue.Factors which might be responsible for the extensive nervous regeneration in the pituitary area are discussed as are the factors determining the pattern of outgrowth of the regenerating nerve fibers. Morphological aspects of storage of posterior pituitary hormones are considered in the light of data in the literature and the results of the present work.Partly supported by a U.S. Public Health grant to Dr. E.

The reorganization of the GABAergic system was studied by means of immunohistochemistry after the symmetrical and asymmetrical (unilateral) extirpation of the brain of the annelid Eisenia fetida. GABA-immunoreactive neurons were first observed in the wound tissue on the 3rd postoperative day. Thereafter the number of labelled cells gradually increased, and by postoperative days 76-80 all GABA-immunoreactive cells (approx. 140 neurons) could be found in their final positions in the symmetrically regenerated brain. After asymmetrical brain extirpation, nearly all cells (70-75) could be detected in the regenerating hemisphere by postoperative days 50-56. In the early stages of the asymmetrical regeneration of the brain, more GABAergic cells were concentrated dorsally and laterally in the preganglion than during the symmetrical type of regeneration. In both types of regeneration, the immunoreactive neurons in the regenerated brain originated in part from undifferentiated neuroblasts situated in different parts of the body, and in part from dividing neurons localized mainly in the pharyngeal nerve plexus. Both exogenous GABA and picrotoxin, applied during the early stages (days 10- 12) of brain regeneration, inhibited the development of the wound tissue and the migration of the neuroblasts and the enteric neurons. At the same time, exogenous GABA application accelerated the proliferation of the pharyngeal neurons. No effect on the process of regeneration could be demonstrated when exogenous GABA and picrotoxin were given together. 相似文献

The concentration-dependent decrease in quinine licking by rats is substantially attenuated by combined bilateral transection of the chorda tympani (CT) and glossopharyngeal (GL) nerves, but transection of either nerve alone produces marginal impairments at most. Here we tested whether regeneration of one or both of these nerves after combined transection would result in recovery of taste avoidance. Water-restricted rats were presented with a series of brief-access (5 s) taste trials (water and 0.003-3.0 mM quinine-HCl) in a 5-day test block of 40-min sessions both before nerve transection and starting 75-77 days after transection. Licking avoidance returned to presurgical levels when both nerves were allowed to regenerate. When only the GL was allowed to regenerate, performance did not differ from that of sham-transected animals. This suggests that even after considerable gustatory deafferentation, regeneration has the capacity to restore normal taste-guided behavior. Surprisingly, when only the CT was allowed to regenerate, avoidance behavior was severely impaired and was not different from that of rats in which regeneration of both nerves was prevented. Taking into account prior findings, it appears that the absence of the GL in the presence of an intact CT is fundamentally different from the absence of the GL in the presence of a regenerated CT with respect to some taste functions. This represents the first reported instance to our knowledge in which the capacity of a regenerated nerve to maintain taste-guided behavior was distinctly different from that of an intact nerve in a rodent model. 相似文献

In urodele amphibians, limb regeneration is dependent on innervation and is blocked by the administration of colchicine. The objective of this experiment was to determine if colchicine blocks limb regeneration by a direct action on the blastema cells or by an indirect action on the nerves, specifically, if colchicine treatment of the brachial nerves would inhibit limb regeneration in the newt Notophthalmus viridescens. Colchicine was applied to the nerves by implanting a colchicine-loaded silastin block adjacent to the brachial nerves of an amputated newt limb. With appropriate dose levels of colchicine, limb regeneration was completely inhibited. Contralateral control limbs, carrying unloaded silastin blocks, and control limbs with colchicine-loaded blocks implanted equidistant from the blastema, but not adjacent to the brachial nerves, regenerated normally. Thus, the results indicate that the colchicine inhibition of limb regeneration is mediated by colchicine effects on the nerves. The possible mechanism of colchicine action on nerves may involve either wallerian degeneration, or inhibition of axoplasmic transport, or both. 相似文献

Regeneration of several adult rat and mouse skeletal muscles was studied after degeneration of muscle fibers had been obtained by the selective action of the cardiotoxin of Naja mossambica mossambica venom. Experimental conditions were set up to ensure minimal damage to satellite cells and also the nerves and blood vessels of the original muscles. As in the other types of experimental regeneration, the structure of the regenerated muscle appeared in many respects different from that of the normal muscle. Moreover the neuromuscular junctions of 'en plaque' type were transformed to 'en grappe' type junctions. Many ultrastructural abnormalities often displayed by these junctions might be linked, at least partially, to the persistence in the regenerating muscle of the original synaptic basal lamina sheaths and their inductive properties. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Nerve conduits provide a promising strategy for peripheral nerve injury repair. However, the efficiency of nerve conduits to enhance nerve regeneration and functional recovery is often inferior to that of autografts. Nerve conduits require additional factors such as cell adhesion molecules and neurotrophic factors to provide a more conducive microenvironment for nerve regeneration. METHODS: In the present study, poly{(lactic acid)-co-[(glycolic acid)-alt-(L-lysine)]} (PLGL) was modified by grafting Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Gly (RGD peptide) and nerve growth factor (NGF) for fabricating new PLGL-RGD-NGF nerve conduits to promote nerve regeneration and functional recovery. PLGL-RGD-NGF nerve conduits were tested in the rat sciatic nerve transection model. Rat sciatic nerves were cut off to form a 10 mm defect and repaired with the nerve conduits. All of the 32 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: group PLGL-RGD-NGF, group PLGL-RGD, group PLGL and group autograft. At 3 months after surgery, the regenerated rat sciatic nerve was evaluated by footprint analysis, electrophysiology, and histologic assessment. Experimental data were processed using the statistical software SPSS 10.0. RESULTS: The sciatic function index value of groups PLGL-RGD-NGF and autograft was significantly higher than those of groups PLGL-RGD and PLGL. The nerve conduction velocities of groups PLGL-RGD-NGF and autograft were significantly faster than those of groups PLGL-RGD and PLGL. The regenerated nerves of groups PLGL-RGD-NGF and autograft were more mature than those of groups PLGL-RGD and PLGL. There was no significant difference between groups PLGL-RGD-NGF and autograft. CONCLUSIONS: PLGL-RGD-NGF nerve conduits are more effective in regenerating nerves than both PLGL-RGD nerve conduits and PLGL nerve conduits. The effect is as good as that of an autograft. This work established the platform for further development of the use of PLGL-RGD-NGF nerve conduits for clinical nerve repair. 相似文献
