Study of the Peripheral Nerve Fibers Myelin Structure Changes during Activation of Schwann Cell Acetylcholine Receptors

Abstract: In the present paper we consider a new type of mechanism by which neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) regulates the properties of peripheral nerve fibers myelin. Our data show the importance of the relationship between the changes in the number of Schwann cell (SC) acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) and the axon excitation (different intervals between action potentials (APs)). Using Raman spectroscopy, an effect of activation of SC AChRs on the myelin membrane fluidity was investigated. It was found, that ACh st… Show more

“…Rich fatty acid RR peaks at 1438, 2850, and 2885 cm −1 are stronger than protein bands at 1005, 1667, and 2932 cm −1 in intensity. In a comparative study, 48 Verdiyan et al collected Raman spectra from the myelin sheath of sciatic nerve fiber tissue using 532 nm laser excitation and a 50-s exposure time and observed peak intensities at 1160, 1520, 2850, 2885, and 2935 cm −1 , respectively. The normal control spectrum is collected from the cancer margin of grade IV glioma, which is also called the negative margin of the cancer or the cancer-normal tissue interface [ Fig.…”

“…Activation of M2 receptor arrests cell cycle and promotes Schwann cell differentiation via upregulation of Sox10 and Krox 20 and downregulation of c‐jun , Notch‐1 and Jagged‐1 , and increased expression of myelin proteins (Uggenti et al, ). Moreover, activation of AChR on Schwann cells modifies the viscosity of the myelin membrane (Verdiyan et al, ).…”

“…In following experiments, the changes in conformation of myelin lipids and carotenoids (the minor membrane component) were studied during the long-lasting nerve fibers exposure with pronase E. As described in detail previously [ 14 , 15 ], the Raman spectrum of nerve fiber myelin could be characterized by the presence of a set of intensive bands, related to phospholipid fatty acids and carotenoids ( Fig 5A and 5B ). About this, we used another laser excitation wave, which made it possible to reduce the contribution of carotenoid molecules from the RS and to study only the changes in fatty acids of phospholipids.…”
