Unlike neonatal axons, mammalian adult axons do not regenerate
after injury. Likewise, myelin, a major factor in preventing regeneration in the adult, inhibits regeneration from older but not
younger neurons. Identification of the molecular events responsible for
this developmental loss of regenerative capacity is believed key to
devising strategies to encourage regeneration in adults after injury.
Here, we report that the endogenous levels of the cyclic nucleotide,
cAMP, are dramatically higher in young neurons in which axonal
growth is promoted both by myelin in general and by a specific myelin
component, myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), than in the same types
of neurons that, when older, are inhibited by myelin-MAG.
Inhibiting a downstream effector of cAMP [protein kinase A (PKA)]
prevents myelin-MAG promotion from young neurons, and elevating cAMP
blocks myelin-MAG inhibition of neurite outgrowth in older neurons.
Importantly, developmental plasticity of spinal tract axons in neonatal
rat pups in vivo is dramatically reduced by inhibition
of PKA. Thus, the switch from promotion to inhibition by myelin-MAG,
which marks the developmental loss of regenerative capacity, is
mediated by a developmentally regulated decrease in endogenous neuronal
cAMP levels.
Key words:
axonal regeneration; cAMP; protein kinase A; myelin; MAG; development
