摘要
One of the reasons for the lack of nerve regeneration in the CNS is the formation of a glial scar over-expressing multiple inhibitory factors including myelin-associated proteins and members of the Semaphorin family. Innovative therapeutic strategies must stimulate axon extension across the lesion site despite this inhibitory molecular barrier. We recently developed a synthetic neurotrophic compound combining an omega-alkanol with a retinol-like cycle (3-(15-hydroxy-pentadecyl)-2,4,4,-trimethyl-cyclohexen-2-one (tCFA15)). Here, we demonstrate that tCFA15 is able to promote cortical axon outgrowth in vitro even in the presence of the inhibitory Semaphorin 3A and myelin extracts. This growth-promoting effect is selectively observed in axons and requires multiple growth-associated intracellular pathways. Our results illustrate the potential use of synthetic neurotrophic compounds to promote nerve regeneration by counteracting the axonal growth inhibition triggered by glial scar-associated inhibitory factors.
