Patent

CA 2549000

The present invention is based on the discovery that suppressing the activity of the Nogo receptor (NgR) alone does not result in extensive axon regeneration unless the intrinsic growth program of neurons is also activated. Accordingly, the present invention is directed to methods of stimulating axon regeneration using a combination therapy wherein agents that inhibit NgR activity or downstream pathways activated by inhibitory signals are combined with agents that activate the growth pathway of neurons (e.g. polypeptide growth factors, activators of macrophages, purine nucleosides, or hexoses).

Cette invention est fondée sur la découverte que la suppression de l'activité du récepteur Nogo (NgR) seul n'entraîne pas une régénération extensive des axones, à moins que le programme de croissance intrinsèque des neurones ne soit également activé. Ainsi, cette invention propose des procédés permettant de stimuler la régénération des axones en utilisant une polythérapie dans laquelle des agents qui inhibent l'activité du récepteur NgR ou les voies descendantes activées par des signaux inhibiteurs sont combinées à des agents qui activent la voie de croissance des neurones (par exemple facteurs de croissance des polypeptides, activateurs de macrophages, nucléosides puriques, ou hexoses).
