Abstract

The inability of CNS axons to regenerate after traumatic spinal cord injury is due, in part, to the inhibitory effects of myelin. The three major previously identified constituents of this activity (Nogo, myelin-associated glycoprotein, and oligodendrocyte myelin glycoprotein) were isolated based on their potent inhibition of axon outgrowth in vitro . All three myelin components transduce their inhibitory signals through the same Nogo receptor/p75 neurotrophin receptor/LINGO-1 (NgR1/p75/LINGO-1) complex. In this study, we considered that molecules known to act as repellants in vertebrate embryonic axonal pathfinding may also inhibit regeneration. In mice, ephrin-B3 functions during development as a midline repellant for axons of the corticospinal tract. We therefore investigated whether this repellant was expressed in the adult spinal cord and retained inhibitory activity. We demonstrate that ephrin-B3 is expressed in postnatal myelinating oligodendrocytes and, by using primary CNS neurons, show that ephrin-B3 accounts for an inhibitory activity equivalent to that of the other three myelin-based inhibitors, acting through p75, combined. Our data describe a known vertebrate axon guidance molecule as a myelin-based inhibitor of neurite outgrowth.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
