Gene expression profiles in the cultured dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons treated with PBS or oncomodulin (ONCM)
Preconditioning nerve injury drives pro-regenerative perineuronal macrophage activation in dorsal root ganglia (DRG). The present study reports that oncomodulin (ONCM) is produced from the regeneration-associated macrophages (RAMs) and strongly influences regeneration of DRG sensory axons. ONCM in macrophages was necessary to produce RAMs in the in vitro model of neuron-macrophage interaction and played an essential role in for preconditioning-induced neurite outgrowth. In order to gain insight on potential mechanisms downstream of ONCM for potent neurite outgrowth activity, we performed RNA-seq using cultured DRG neurons treated with ONCM. Overall design: Cultured DRGs neurons from WT mouse and treated with PBS or 100 ng/ml of recombinant ONCM for 12 hr.
