Abstract:
Objective To study GAP\|43mRNA expression during nerve injure and regeneration. Methods Rat sciatic nerve was crushed then, in situ hybridization technique was used to explore GAP\|43mRNA expressions in spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion (DRG). Results The neurons of spinal cord and DRG were detected to have GAP\|43 hybridization sinal by 2 days after sciatic nerve lesion. At later times(4,7 and 14 days postsurgery) the anterior horn motor neurons and DRG cells showed an increase in the number of GAP\|43mRNA positive neurons, followed by a significant rise in their content of GAP\|43mRNA. The number of GAP\|43mRNA positive neurons was decreased by 30 days postinjure, and was nearly nomal 60 days postinjure.Conclusion GAP\|43mRNA expression was increased during peripheral nerve injure and regeneration. The study showed that GAP\|43 may play a key role in nerve regeneration. [
