Lindborg JA, Mack M, Zigmond RE (2017) Neutrophils are critical for myelin removal in a peripheral nerve injury model of Wallerian degeneration. J Neurosci 37(43):10258-10277. doi: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.2085-17.2017 PMID: 28912156
Objective: To characterize Wallerian degeneration (WD) in male Ccr2−/−mice and identify a compensatory mechanism of WD that is facilitated primarily by neutrophils.
Summary: The data have shown that neutrophils play an impressive role in myelin removal during WD. Neutrophil-specific depletion severely abates nerve debris clearance not only in Ccr2−/− mice, but in WT mice as well. The findings show a novel role for neutrophils that better elucidates the process of WD in the peripheral nervous system.
