Abstract
Tra2beta is the first mammalian protein which is proved to activate mRNA splicing in sequence-specific manner. Following hypoglossal nerve injury, the expression of Tra2beta mRNA was elevated in injured motoneurons transiently. The up-regulation of Tra2beta mRNA was observed from post-operative day 3 to 21. In addition to the nerve injury in PNS, a brain lesion in CNS also enhanced the expression of Tra2beta mRNA. The present study could be the first observation showing that an expression of the sequence-specific splicing activator is enhanced in neuronal cells in response to nerve injury, and indicates that Tra2beta may participate in the control of injury-specific splicing patterns in order to express molecules which are necessary for regeneration.
