چکیده

background: axotomy causes sensory neuronal loss. reconnection of proximal and distal nerve ends by surgical repair improves neuronal survival. it is important to know the morphology of primary sensory neurons after the surgical repair of their peripheral processes. methods: animals (male wistar rats) were exposed to models of sciatic nerve transection, direct epineurial suture repair of sciatic nerve, autograft repair of sciatic nerve, and sham operated. after 1 and 12 weeks of the surgery, the number of l5 dorsal root ganglion (drg) and ultrastructure of l4-l5 drg neurons was evaluated by fluorescence and electron microscopy, respectively. results: nerve transection caused sensory neuronal loss and direct epineurial suture but no autograft repair method decreased it. evaluation of morphology of the neurons showed classic features of apoptosis as well as destructive changes of cytoplasmic organelles such as mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus in primary sensory neurons. these nuclear and cytoplasmic changes in primary sensory neurons were observed after the surgical nerve repair too. conclusion: the present study implies that the following peripheral nerve transection apoptosis as well as cytoplasmic cell death contributes to neuronal cell death and reconnection of proximal and distal nerve ends dose not prevent these processes.

Dorsal root ganglion transcriptome analysis following peripheral nerve injury in mice

BACKGROUND Peripheral nerve injury leads to changes in gene expression in primary sensory neurons of the injured dorsal root ganglia. These changes are believed to be involved in neuropathic pain genesis. Previously, these changes have been identified using gene microarrays or next generation RNA sequencing with poly-A tail selection, but these approaches cannot provide a more thorough analysis...

Generation of New Neurons in Dorsal Root Ganglia in Adult Rats after Peripheral Nerve Crush Injury

The evidence of neurons generated ex novo in sensory ganglia of adult animals is still debated. In the present study, we investigated, using high resolution light microscopy and stereological analysis, the changes in the number of neurons in dorsal root ganglia after 30 days from a crush lesion of the rat brachial plexus terminal branches. Results showed, as expected, a relevant hypertrophy of ...

Differing alterations of sodium currents in small dorsal root ganglion neurons after ganglion compression and peripheral nerve injury

Voltage-gated sodium channels play important roles in modulating dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neuron hyperexcitability and hyperalgesia after peripheral nerve injury or inflammation. We report that chronic compression of DRG (CCD) produces profound effect on tetrodotoxin-resistant (TTX-R) and tetrodotoxin-sensitive (TTX-S) sodium currents, which are different from that by chronic constriction inj...

Responses of macrophages in rat dorsal root ganglia following peripheral nerve injury.

Immunohistochemical studies with monoclonal antibodies to macrophage antigens were performed on sections of rat lumbar dorsal root ganglia. In confirmation of previous observations, cells with macrophage antigenicity were detected in normal ganglia. Many of these presumptive macrophages were perineuronal in contact with the neuron/satellite cell complex, a few were perivascular, and others were...
