TL;DR: The data suggest that motoneurons that survived injury on postnatal day 14 innervated more muscle fibers than normal and exhibited a similar ability to functionally reinnervate the target muscle as those motoneURons that survive injury on P21. (via Semantic Scholar)

Jane Lubischer

author keywords: neuromuscular junction; Schwann cell; microglia; Langerhans cell; astrocyte; S100 beta; S100B; motor neuron; variegation; Bergmann glia
MeSH headings : Adipocytes / cytology; Animals; Cell Line; Dendritic Cells / cytology; Green Fluorescent Proteins / biosynthesis; Humans; Langerhans Cells / cytology; Lens, Crystalline / cytology; Luminescent Proteins / biosynthesis; Macrophages / cytology; Mice; Mice, Inbred C57BL; Mice, Transgenic; Microscopy, Fluorescence; Nerve Growth Factors; Neuroglia / cytology; Neuromuscular Junction / cytology; Neurons / cytology; Receptors, Cholinergic / analysis; Recombinant Fusion Proteins / biosynthesis; S100 Calcium Binding Protein beta Subunit; S100 Proteins / biosynthesis; S100 Proteins / genetics; Schwann Cells / chemistry; Schwann Cells / cytology; Schwann Cells / ultrastructure; Transgenes

1999 journal article

Neonatal partial denervation results in nodal but not terminal sprouting and a decrease in efficacy of remaining neuromuscular junctions in rat soleus muscle.

The Journal of Neuroscience : the Official Journal of the Society for Neuroscience.

Jane Lubischer

author keywords: Schwann cells; synapse elimination; NMJ; synaptic strength; development; motoneuron; curare

TL;DR: It was found that terminal (but not nodal) sprouting was absent in partially denervated neonatal muscles, which suggests that terminal Schwann cells, previously reported to guide terminal sprouts to denervate endplates in adult muscles, are necessary for the formation and growth of terminal sprouting.

1995 journal article

Axotomy of developing rat spinal motoneurons: cell survival, soma size, muscle recovery, and the influence of testosterone.

Journal of Neurobiology.

Jane Lubischer

author keywords: SPINAL NUCLEUS OF THE BULBOCAVERNOSUS,; MOTONEURONAL DEVELOPMENT; ANDROGEN; SYNAPSE ELIMINATION; CELL DEATH
MeSH headings : Animals; Axons / drug effects; Axons / physiology; Cell Survival; Male; Motor Neurons / drug effects; Motor Neurons / physiology; Muscles / innervation; Nerve Degeneration; Rats; Rats, Sprague-Dawley; Testosterone / pharmacology; Time Factors
TL;DR: The inability of SNB motoneurons to recover from axonal injury from their developmental elimination of synaptic terminals was dissociated in time, which may reflect an increase in motor unit size, a decrease in polyneuronal innervation bySNB mot oneurons that survive axotomy on P14, or a combination of the two.

1995 journal article

Axotomy transiently down-regulates androgen receptors in motoneurons of the spinal nucleus of the bulbocavernosus.

Brain Research.

Jane Lubischer

author keywords: PG-21; IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY; SNB; STEROID; TESTOSTERONE; SPINAL CORD
MeSH headings : Aging / metabolism; Animals; Animals, Newborn / growth & development; Animals, Newborn / metabolism; Autoradiography; Axons / physiology; Denervation; Down-Regulation; Immunohistochemistry; Male; Motor Neurons / metabolism; Nervous System Physiological Phenomena; Penis / innervation; Rats; Rats, Sprague-Dawley; Receptors, Androgen / metabolism; Spinal Cord / physiology; Time Factors
TL;DR: Axotomy-induced down-regulation of androgen receptors does not underlie the inability of SNB motoneurons to respond to androgen treatment several months after pudendal nerve cut in development, and is interesting in light of reports that testosterone treatment can facilitate mot oneuronal regeneration after nerve cut.

Transient and permanent effects of androgen during synapse elimination in the levator ani muscle of the rat.

Journal of Neurobiology.

TL;DR: The present results indicate that the androgenic effect on synapse elimination is permanent, in that high levels of multiple innervation persisted for 12 months after the end of androgen treatment, and the effect on muscle fiber diameter was not maintained for this period.

MeSH headings : Animals; Autoradiography; Birds / physiology; Brain / cytology; Brain Chemistry; Male; Neurons / analysis; Progestins / analysis; Vocalization, Animal / physiology
