However, the role of p75 neurotrophin receptor in the regeneration of peripheral nerves remains poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of p75 neurotrophin receptor on facial nerve regeneration. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A randomized controlled experiment was performed in the Regeneration Laboratory of Flinders University, Australia and the Biomedical Laboratory of Dentistry School, Shandong University from March 2005 to February 2006. MATERIALS: Cholera toxin B subunit, fast blue, and biotin rabbit-anti goat IgG were provided by Sigma, USA; goat-anti choleratoxin B subunit ant/body was provided by List Biologicals, USA. METHODS: In p75 neurotrophin receptor knockout and wild type 129/sv mice, the facial nerves on one side were crushed. At days 2 and 4 following injury, regenerating motor neurons in the facial nuclei were labeled by fast blue, and the regenerating axon was labeled by the anterograde tracer choleratoxin B subunit. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Axonal regenerative velocity and number were detected by immunohistochemical staining of choleratoxin B subunit, growth-associated protein, protein gene product 9.5, and calcitonin-gene-related peptide; survival of motor neurons in the facial nuclei was detected by retrograde fast blue. RESULTS: Axonal growth in the facial nerve of p75 neurotrophin receptor knockout mice was significantly less than in wild type mice. At day 7 after injury, the number of regenerating motor neurons in p75 neurotrophin receptor knockout mice remained significantly less than in wild type mice (P 〈 0.05). The number of positively stained fibers for growth-associated protein-43, protein gene product 9.5, and calcitonin-gene-related peptide in p75 neurotrophin receptor knockout mice was significantly less than in wild type mice (P 〈 0.01). CONCLUSION: p75 neurotrophin receptor promoted axonal regeneration and enhanced the survival rate of motor neurons following facial nerve injury.展开更多
