Myelin inhibitors, including MAG, are major impediments to CNS regeneration. However, CNS axons of DRGs regenerate if the peripheral branch of these neurons is lesioned first. We show that 1 day post-peripheral-lesion, DRG-cAMP levels triple and MAG/myelin no longer inhibit growth, an effect that is PKA dependent. By 1 week post-lesion, DRG-cAMP returns to control, but growth on MAG/myelin improves and is now PKA independent. Inhibiting PKA in vivo blocks the post-lesion growth on MAG/myelin at 1 day and attenuates it at I week. Alone, injection of db-cAMP into the DRG mimics completely a conditioning lesion as DRGs grow on MAG/myelin, initially, in a PKA-dependent manner that becomes PKA independent. Importantly, DRG injection of db-cAMP results in extensive regeneration of dorsal column axons lesioned 1 week later. These results may be relevant to developing therapies for spinal cord injury.
