AbstractThe morphology of the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) with their axons regenerating along a peripheral nerve graft at different post-grafting periods was studied by the intracellular injection of Lucifer yellow (LY) and silver staining methods. Several morphological features which were observed on developing RGCs, but not mature RGCs, have also been observed in the regenerating RGCs studied by the intracellular injection of LY. These morphological features observed on the regenerating RGCs included intraretinal axonal branches and collaterals, spine-like processes on the dendrites and soma, and short processes on the soma. These results suggest that damaged mammalian RGCs may be able to recapitulate certain cellular events which occur during normal development provided the regenerating cells are given the proper stimulus and a favorable environment for regrowth. From the results of both LY injection and silver staining experiments, it was found that the dendrites of the regenerating RGCs were, in general, much simpler than that of control Type I RGCs. However, regenerating RGCs with different degree of dendritic complexity could be observed in all post-grafting periods studied, and the dendritic complexity seems to decrease continuously with the increase in the post-grafting time. These results suggest that the ability to regenerate an axon is not closely related to dendritic responses and the peripheral nerve does not seem to be able to prevent the deterioration and retraction of the dendrites.
