Comparative Gene Expression Profiling between Xenopus Optic Nerve and Spinal Cord Injury to Identify Genes Involved in Successful Regeneration of Vertebrate CNS Axons
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Xenopus is uniquely suited for addressing the question of whether a core gene expression program for successful CNS axon regeneration exists, because parts of its CNS (e.g., eye), regenerate axons throughout life, whereas others (e.g., hindbrain) do so only as tadpoles. We performed RNA-Seq after optic nerve and spinal cord injury to identify trauma-induced genes shared between two regenerative CNS regions, but not shared with a non-regenerative one. We provide these data as a resource for new avenues of investigation into the molecular basis of tissue regeneration.
