Distinct Changes in Calpain and Calpastatin during PNS Myelination and Demyelination in Rodent Models
Myelin forming around axons provides electrical insulation and ensures rapid and efficient transmission of electrical impulses. Disruptions to myelinated nerves often result in nerve conduction failure along with neurological symptoms and long-term disability. In the central nervous system, calpains...

description | Myelin forming around axons provides electrical insulation and ensures rapid and efficient transmission of electrical impulses. Disruptions to myelinated nerves often result in nerve conduction failure along with neurological symptoms and long-term disability. In the central nervous system, calpains, a family of calcium dependent cysteine proteases, have been shown to have a role in developmental myelination and in demyelinating diseases. The roles of calpains in myelination and demyelination in the peripheral nervous system remain unclear. Here, we show a transient increase of activated CAPN1, a major calpain isoform, in postnatal rat sciatic nerves when myelin is actively formed. Expression of the endogenous calpain inhibitor, calpastatin, showed a steady decrease throughout the period of peripheral nerve development. In the sciatic nerves of Trembler-J mice characterized by dysmyelination, expression levels of CAPN1 and calpastatin and calpain activity were significantly increased. In lysolecithin-induced acute demyelination in adult rat sciatic nerves, we show an increase of CAPN1 and decrease of calpastatin expression. These changes in the calpain-calpastatin system are distinct from those during central nervous system development or in acute axonal degeneration in peripheral nerves. Our results suggest that the calpain-calpastatin system has putative roles in myelination and demyelinating diseases of peripheral nerves. |
