Collapsin response mediator proteins (Crmps) play roles in neuronal development and axon growth. However, neuronal-specific roles of Crmp1, Crmp4, and Crmp5 in regeneration of injured central nervous system (CNS) axonsin vivoare unclear. Here, we analyzed developmental and subtype-specific expression of Crmp genes in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), tested whether overexpressing Crmp1, Crmp4, or Crmp5 in RGCs through localized intralocular AAV2 delivery promotes axon regeneration after optic nerve injuryin vivo, and characterized developmental co-regulation of gene-concept networks associated with Crmps. We found that all Crmp genes are developmentally downregulated in RGCs during maturation. However, while Crmp1, Crmp2, and Crmp4 were expressed to a varying degree in most RGC subtypes, Crmp3 and Crmp5 were expressed only in a small subset of RGC subtypes. We then found that after optic nerve injury, Crmp1, Crmp4, and Crmp5 promote RGC axon regeneration to varying extents, with Crmp4 promoting the most axon regeneration and also localizing to axons. We also found that Crmp1 and Crmp4, but not Crmp5, promote RGC survival. Finally, we found that Crmp1, Crmp2, Crmp4, and Crmp5′s ability to promote axon regeneration is associated with neurodevelopmental mechanisms, which control RGC’s intrinsic axon growth capacity.
