Lentiviral vector delivery of short hairpin RNA to NG2 and neurotrophin-3 promotes locomotor recovery in injured rat spinal cord
Donnelly, Eleanor M.; Madigan, Nicolas N.; Rooney, Gemma E.; Knight, Andrew; Chen, Bingkun; Ball, Bret; Kinnavane, Lisa; Garcia, Yolanda; Dockery, Peter; Fraher, John; Strappe, Padraig M.; Windebank, Anthony J.; O'Brien, Timothy; McMahon, Siobhan S. (Elsevier, 2012-01-08)Background aims. In this study we investigated the effect of neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) and knockdown of NG2, one of the main inhibitory chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPG), in the glial scar following spinal cord injury ... -
Lentiviral vector‐mediated knockdown of the neuroglycan 2 proteoglycan or expression of neurotrophin‐3 promotes neurite outgrowth in a cell culture model of the glial scar
Donnelly, Eleanor M.; Strappe, Padraig M.; McGinley, Lisa M.; Madigan, Nicolas N.; Geurts, Elizabeth; Rooney, Gemma E.; Windebank, Anthony J.; Fraher, John; Dockery, Peter; O'Brien, Timothy; McMahon, Siobhan S. (Wiley, 2010)Background Following spinal cord injury, a highly inhibitory environment for axonal regeneration develops. One of the main sources of this inhibition is the glial scar that is formed after injury by reactive astrocytes. ...
