Wnt Signaling Promotes Regeneration in the Retina of Adult Mammals
Open accessAbstract
Regeneration in the mammalian CNS is severely limited. Unlike in the chick, current models hold that retinal neurons are never regenerated. Previously we demonstrated that, in the adult mammalian retina, Müller glia dedifferentiate and produce retinal cells, including photoreceptors, after acute neurotoxic injury in vivo . However, the number of newly generated retinal neurons is very limited. Here we demonstrate that Wnt (wingless-type MMTV integration site family)/β-catenin signaling promotes proliferation of Müller glia-derived retinal progenitors and neural regeneration after damage or during degeneration. Wnt3a treatment increases proliferation of dedifferentiated Müller glia >20-fold in the photoreceptor-damaged retina. Supplementation with retinoic acid or valproic acid induces differentiation of these cells primarily into Crx (cone rod homeobox)-positive and rhodopsin-positive photoreceptors. Notably, injury induces nuclear accumulation of β-catenin, cyclin D1 upregulation, and Wnt/β-catenin reporter activity. Activation of Wnt signaling by glycogen synthase kinase-3β inhibitors promotes retinal regeneration, and, conversely, inhibition of the signaling attenuates regeneration. This Wnt3a-mediated regeneration of retinal cells also occurs in rd mice, a model of retinal degeneration. These results provide evidence that Wnt/β-catenin signaling contributes to CNS regeneration in the adult mammal.

In the citing paper
“It is interesting that in mammals, β-catenin has been associated with a very limited amount of MG proliferation while pStat3 has been associated with injury-induced gliosis (Osakada et al., 2007; Peterson et al., 2000; Rhee et al., 2013; Xue et al., 2011).”

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.
