| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have established spontaneously immortalized Schwann cell lines from long-term cultures of adult Fischer rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and peripheral nerves. One of these cell lines, designated IFRS1, exhibit distinct Schwann cell phenotypes and fundamental ability to myelinate neurites in coculture with primary cultured dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and nerve growth factor (NGF)-primed PC12 cells. By using these coculture systems, we investigated the mechanisms of axonal regeneration- and myelination-promoting effects of exendin-4, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, and the pathogenesis of demyelinating neuropathy induced by an anti-arrhythmic agent amiodarone.
