Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) Promotes Peripheral Nerve Regeneration by Activating Repair Schwann Cells

Abstract: During the peripheral nerve regeneration process, a variety of neurotrophic factors play roles in nerve repair by acting on neuronal or non-neuronal cells. In this report, we investigated the role(s) of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor, c-met, in peripheral nerve regeneration. When mice were subjected to sciatic nerve injury, the HGF protein level was highly increased at the injured and distal sites. The level of both total and phosphorylated c-met was also highly upregulated, but almost exclusi… Show more

“…HGF discovered in 1991, was demonstrated to play an important role in cell survival, tissue regeneration, and inflammation regulation in various injury and disease (Kitamura et al, 2011; Nakamura et al, 2011; Jeong et al, 2012; Ko et al, 2018; Li et al, 2018; Pang et al, 2018). It reduced the expression level of IL-6 , TNF-α , and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 ( ICAM-1 ) by regulating NF-kB signaling in pulmonary artery hypertension rat (Pang et al, 2018).…”

“…Decreased myelin stability and reduced internodal length are observed without changes in myelin thickness, whereas in unmyelinated fibers Remak bundle formation is disrupted (Cervellini et al, ). In contrast, another recent study demonstrates that ERK activation induced by hepatocyte growth factor improves remyelination through enhanced Schwann cell migration after a sciatic nerve crush (Ko et al, ). Taken together, these results emphasize the importance of the strength, duration, and location of ERK activation during PNS regeneration.…”

“…The regeneration process of the injured sciatic nerve has been well documented in human and animal experiments (Ko et al, 2018;Wanner et al, 2017). Specifically, Schwann cell proliferation is generated at the early stage of the regeneration and proliferating cells migrate toward the distal region to the injury site by releasing neurotrophic factors.…”
