Factors that influence regeneration of the neuromuscular junction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Regeneration of neuromuscular junctions after trauma occurs in an orderly way and relies on communication between nerve and muscle. This paper summarizes evidence that factors which direct the growth and differentiation of both pre- and postsynaptic components of regenerating neuromuscular junctions are associated with the extracellular matrix of muscles.

متن کاملHeparan sulfate proteoglycans are increased during skeletal muscle regeneration: requirement of syndecan-3 for successful fiber formation.
Skeletal muscle regeneration is a highly complex and regulated process that involves muscle precursor proliferation and differentiation and probably requires the participation of heparin binding growth factors such as FGFs, HGF and TGFbeta. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans, key components of cell-surfaces and ECM, modulate growth factor activities and influence cell growth and differentiation. The...
متن کاملRepeated Vital Imaging Reveals Schwann Cells Induce and Guide Nerve Sprouting and Regeneration of Neuromuscular Junctions
The terminal Schwann cell processes that cover the neuromuscular junction sense neuromuscular transmission and modulate synaptic activities in normal muscles (Son et al., 1996; Robitaille, 1998). Recent researches show the terminal Schwann cell participates in the maintenance and repair of neuromuscular junctions. Reynolds and Woolf (1992) found that in response to muscle denervation, the termi...
متن کاملLoss of adult skeletal muscle stem cells drives age-related neuromuscular junction degeneration
Neuromuscular junction degeneration is a prominent aspect of sarcopenia, the age-associated loss of skeletal muscle integrity. Previously, we showed that muscle stem cells activate and contribute to mouse neuromuscular junction regeneration in response to denervation (Liu et al., 2015). Here, we examined gene expression profiles and neuromuscular junction integrity in aged mouse muscles, and un...
متن کاملMotor axon regeneration and muscle reinnervation in young adult and aged animals.
Injuries to peripheral nerves can cause paralysis and sensory disturbances, but such functional impairments are often short lived because of efficient regeneration of damaged axons. The time required for functional recovery, however, increases with advancing age (Verdú et al., 2000; Kawabuchi et al., 2011). Incomplete or delayed recovery after peripheral nerve damage is a major health concern i...
