The ability of neurons to regenerate an axon after injury is
determined by both the surrounding environment and factors intrinsic to
the damaged neuron. We have used cDNA microarrays to survey those genes
induced during successful sciatic nerve regeneration. The small
proline-rich repeat protein 1A (SPRR1A) is not detectable in uninjured
neurons but is induced by >60-fold after peripheral axonal damage. The
protein is localized to injured neurons and axons.
sprr1a is one of a group of epithelial differentiation genes, including s100c and p21/waf, that
are coinduced in neurons by axotomy. Overexpressed SPRR1A colocalizes
with F-actin in membrane ruffles and augments axonal outgrowth on a
range of substrates. In axotomized sensory neurons, reduction of SPRR1A
function restricts axonal outgrowth. Neuronal SPRR1A may be a
significant contributor to successful nerve regeneration.
Key words:
axon regeneration; axonal growth cone; F-actin; neurite
extension; S100 protein; microarray
