The protein Nogo-A has been widely studied for its role in inhibiting axonal regeneration following injury to the central nervous system, but the mechanism by which the membrane-bound Nogo-A is presented intercellularly is not fully understood. New research suggests that a highly inhibitory fragment of Nogo-A is generated by the amyloid precursor protein protease BACE1 and presented on the membranes of exosomes following spinal cord injury. This finding represents a new mode through which Nogo-A may exert its effects in the central nervous system.
神经突生长抑制蛋白 Nogo-A 因其在中枢神经系统损伤后抑制轴突再生的作用而被广泛研究,但细胞间呈递膜结合型 Nogo-A 的机制尚不完全清楚。新的研究表明,淀粉样前体蛋白水解酶 BACE1 产生了 Nogo-A 的一个高度抑制性片段,并在脊髓损伤后通过外泌体的膜呈现。这一发现代表了 Nogo-A 可能在中枢神经系统中发挥作用的一种新模式。
