Rescue and regeneration of injured peripheral nerve axons by intrathecal insulin

Neuroscience
C TothD W Zochodne

Abstract

Insulin peptide, acting through tyrosine kinase receptor pathways, contributes to nerve development or repair. In this work, we examined the direction, impact and repertoire of insulin signaling in vivo during peripheral nerve regeneration in rats. First, we demonstrated that insulin receptor is expressed on lumbar dorsal root ganglia neuronal perikarya using immunohistochemistry. Immunoblots and polymerase chain reactions confirmed the presence of both alpha and beta insulin receptor subunits in dorsal root ganglia. In vivo and in vitro assessment of dorsal root ganglion neurons showed preferential localization of insulin receptor to perikaryal sites. In vivo, intrathecal delivery of fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled insulin identified localization around dorsal root ganglia neurons. The direction and impact of potential insulin signaling was evaluated by concurrently delivering insulin or carrier over a 2 week period using mini-osmotic pumps, either intrathecally, near nerve, or with both deliveries, following a selective sural nerve crush injury. Only intrathecal insulin increased the number and maturity of regenerating sensory sural nerve axons distal to the crush site. As well, only intrathecal insulin rescued retrograde ...Continue Reading
