Cycloastragenol promotes dorsal column axon regeneration in mice by Tao Zihan, Tao Zihan, Teng Wenwen, Teng Wenwen, Ma Yanxia, Saijilafu

“…However, whether CAG can activate axon regeneration central nervous system (CNS) remains unknown.MethodsHere, we established a novel mouse model for visualizing spinal cord dorsal column axon regeneration involving the injection of AAV2/9-Cre into the lumbar 4/5 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) of Rosa-tdTomato reporter mice. We then treated mice by intraperitoneal administration of CAG.ResultsOur results showed that intraperitoneal CAG injections significantly promoted the growth of vitro-cultured DRG axons as well as the growth of dorsal column axons over the injury site in spinal cord injury (SCI) mice. …”
