“…BoNT/A-truncated SNAP-25 re-occurred due to longer intracellular duration of proteolytic action of BoNT/A LC in comparison to BoNT/E LC (Antonucci et al, 2008;Keller and Neale, 1999). In a similar experiment it was demonstrated that BoNT/A protease was anterogradely transported and transcytosed to second-order synapses in superior colliculus (Restani et al, 2011). BoNT/A was injected into the retina and its proteolytic activity was demonstrated in optic tectum after 3 days.…”

“…In present study we examined whether BoNT/A's enzymatic activity in the TNC is located in primary sensory In present experiments we did not observe any truncated SNAP-25 remaining after ganglionic denervation, thus, our results do not support possible transcytosis to second order synapses in the TNC. However, transcytosis of BoNT/A in rats was demonstrated after both anterograde and retrograde axonal transport in the optic system [52,53]. Recently, a decrease of spontaneous and evoked inhibitory glycinergic potentials in isolated rat lumbar substantia gelatinosa neurons following peripheral BoNT/A injection was reported [1].…”

“…Beside the peripheral effects, BTX-A is known for its central effects, too. Studies in rodents show that the toxin is retrogradely transported and transcytosed to second-order neurons in the central 8 nervous system [2,3,37]. Also, studies in humans support the idea that BTX-A injected at therapeutic doses induces distant spinal and cortical effects indirectly by promoting brain changes due to plastic rearrangements subsequent to denervation or alterations in sensory input [22].…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
