Impaired Prosaposin Secretion During Nerve Regeneration in Diabetic Rats and Protection of Nerve Regeneration by a Prosaposin-Derived Peptide

Abstract: Prosaposin is both a precursor of sphingolipid activator proteins and a secreted neurotrophic and myelinotrophic factor. Because peripheral nerve regeneration is impaired in diabetes mellitus, we measured prosaposin protein levels from control and streptozotocin-diabetic rats by collecting endoneurial fluid secreted into a bridging tube connecting the ends of transected sciatic nerve. Prosaposin protein levels were significantly reduced in endoneurial fluid from diabetic rats and increased in the proximal nerv… Show more

“…If future studies support this model, then GPR37 and GPR37L1 may eventually serve as outstanding targets for novel therapeutics aimed at enhancing neuronal and glial survival in response to injury. Prosaposin and prosaptide have been shown to protect dopaminergic neurons in animal models of Parkinson disease (38,41), facilitate neuronal survival following focal cerebral ischemia (22,32), reduce neuropathic pain (37,40,57), and promote remyelination of nerves following injury (26,28,59). Thus, if future work in vivo upholds the idea that the neuroprotective and glioprotective actions of prosaposin and prosaptide are mediated by GPR37 and GPR37L1, the development of small molecule ligands for these receptors may provide new therapeutic possibilities for the treatment of Parkinson disease, stroke, neuropathic pain, and myelination disorders.…”

“…Injections of prosaptide TX14(A) were found to shorten recovery time from sciatic nerve crush as well as alleviate thermal hypoalgesia and formalin-evoked hyperalgesia in diabetic rats (Jolivalt et al, 2008b). Prosaptide TX14(A) was also able to enhance nerve regeneration distance and axonal diameter of the regenerated axons following sciatic nerve injury (Jolivalt et al, 2008b).…”

“…Prosaptide TX14(A) was also able to enhance nerve regeneration distance and axonal diameter of the regenerated axons following sciatic nerve injury (Jolivalt et al, 2008b). Prosaposin applied via a collagen-filled nerve guide after sciatic nerve transection in a guinea pig model increased the number of regenerating nerves, for both motor and sensory nerve types (Kotani et al, 1996a).…”
