We describe a key role for the CD44 transmembrane glycoprotein in Schwann cell-neuron interactions. CD44 proteins have been implicated in cell adhesion and in the presentation of growth factors to high affinity receptors. We observed high CD44 expression in early rat neonatal nerves at times when Schwann cells proliferate but low expression in adult nerves, where CD44 was found in some nonmyeli...
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...
During peripheral nervous system development, successful communication between axons and Schwann cells is required for proper function of both myelinated and nonmyelinated nerve fibers. Alternatively spliced proteins belonging to the neuregulin1 (NRG1) gene family of growth and differentiation factors are essential for Schwann cell survival and peripheral nerve development. Although recent stud...
The major cellular constituents of the mammalian peripheral nervous system are neurons (axons) and Schwann cells. During peripheral nerve development Schwann cells actively deposit extracellular matrix (ECM), comprised of basal lamina sheets that surround individual axon-Schwann cell units and collagen fibrils. These ECM structures are formed from a diverse set of macromolecules, consisting of ...
Mutations in the frataxin gene cause dorsal root ganglion demyelination and neurodegeneration, which leads to Friedreich's ataxia. However the consequences of frataxin depletion have not been measured in dorsal root ganglia or Schwann cells. We knocked down frataxin in several neural cell lines, including two dorsal root ganglia neural lines, 2 neuronal lines, a human oligodendroglial line (HOG...
NMDA receptors (NMDA-Rs) are ionotropic glutamate receptors, which associate with LDL-receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) to trigger cell signaling in response to protein ligands in neurons. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that the NMDA-R is expressed by rat Schwann cells and functions independently and with LRP1 to regulate Schwann cell physiology. The NR1 (encoded by GRIN1) and NR2b (en...
Schwann cells promote the regrowth of nerve fibers in both the PNS and CNS and might thus be of value in strategies to promote repair following injury or demyelination in the CNS. The effectiveness of Schwann cells in promoting repair could, however, be limited by interactions with reactive astrocytes that are prominent at lesioned and demyelinated sites. To investigate this possibility, experi...
Axotomy of sciatic nerve fibers in adult rats induces expression of NGF receptor in the entire population of Schwann cells located distal to the injury (Taniuchi et al., 1986b). In the present study we have used immunocytochemistry, with a monoclonal antibody directed against the rat NGF receptor, to examine axotomized peripheral nerves by light and electron microscopy. We have found that (1) t...
Peripheral nerve repair can be enhanced by Schwann cell transplantation, but the clinical application of this procedure is limited by donor site morbidity and the inability to quickly generate a sufficient number of cells. Thus, alternative cell systems for the generation of Schwann cells are desired. Schwann-like cell induced from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) may be one of the ideal alte...
