Abstract | Transplantation of a segment of peripheral nerve to the retina of the adult hamster resulted in regrowth of damaged ganglion cell axons into the graft, with the fastest regenerating axons extending at 2 mm/day after an initial delay of 4.5 days (Cho and So 1987b). In this study, the effect of making 2 lesions on the same axon (the conditioning lesion effect) on the regrowth of ganglion cell axons into the peripheral nerve graft was examined. When a conditioning lesion (first lesion) was made by crushing the optic nerve 7 or 14 days before the peripheral nerve grafting (the second lesion) to the retina, the distance of regrowth achieved by the fastest regenerating axons in the graft, measured at the 7th post-grafting day, was lower than in animals with a peripheral nerve grafted to a normal eye. This indicated that in contrast to the situation in peripheral nerve axons (Forman et al. 1980) and goldfish optic axons (Edwards et al. 1981), the conditioning lesion was unable to enhance the regrowth of mammalian retinal ganglion cell axons. However, when crushing of the optic nerve was followed immediately by peripheral nerve grafting, an enhancement in axonal regrowth could be observed. The initial delay time before the axons extended into the peripheral nerve graft was reduced by 1 day while the rate of elongation of the fastest regrowing axons in the graft apparently remained unchanged. Moreover, the shortening of the initial delay could still be observed even when the sequence of performing the 2 lesions was reversed. From these data, it was concluded that the classical conditioning lesion effect was not responsible for the enhancement observed. Rather it was suggested that changes in the intra-retinal environment brought about by crushing of the optic nerve might account for it. |
