nervous system
• regenerating dorsal root ganglion (DRG) axons from neurons transduced with adenovirus containing cre recombinase (Ad-cre) challenged with a mixture of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (an inhibitory environmental cue) show a higher percentage of neurites that cross through the borders containing the inhibitory chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans compared to controls, indicating attenuated growth cone retraction in response to inhibitory molecules

• the sum length of neurite outgrowth is increased in Ad-cre-treated dorsal root ganglion neurons, however the average numbers of primary, secondary, and tertiary neurites are not significantly altered
• DRG neurons transduced with Ad-cre show an increase in the average ratio of dynamic to total microtubules in the distalmost segment of regenerating neurites
• DRG neurons transduced with Ad-cre show no increase in growth cone collapse in the presence of recombinant semaphorin 3A, a chemorepellent during the development of the nervous system
|
• adult dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons transduced ex vivo with an adenovirus containing cre recombinase (Ad-cre) to excise the gene exhibit longer axons when grown in culture, with a mean axon length approximately 50% longer than control neurons

• DRG neurons transduced with Ad-cre show no increase in growth cone collapse in the presence of recombinant semaphorin 3A, a chemorepellent during the development of the nervous system
