Cyclosporin A promotes axon growth of cortical neurons by inhibiting calcineurin activity
Objective To study the relationship between calcineurin (CaN) activity and axon growth. Methods The cerebral cortical neurons of rats were cultured
and grouped as control group and cyclosporin A (CsA) group in which 10 nmol/L CsA was given when serum-free NB culture media was adopted. Inverted phase contrast microscope and digital photo collection system were used to harvest the photos of neurons cultured for 3
7
10 d. The length of axons were measured by SPOT software. The CaN activities were measured by enzyme substrate colormetric methods. Results After CsA stimulation
the length of axons increased significantly at 3
7 d (P0.05) and more notably at 10 d (P0.01)
meanwhile the CaN activities were more significantly inhibited at all time points (P0.01). Conclusion CaN activities have a negative relationship with axon growth.
