The invention discloses application of a
deubiquitinating enzyme inhibitor and an OTUD7A-HINT1-mTOR axis in regeneration of a
central nervous system, and belongs to the technical field of
biology. The technical problem to be solved by the invention is how to promote the regeneration of the
central nervous system. The invention finds that the
deubiquitinating enzyme inhibitor PR-619 can promote the growth of axons in
neuron cultures and
retina explants, protect the survival of RGCs and enhance the regeneration of axons after ONC. The PR-619 can also promote CNS regeneration by down-regulating expression of HINT1, HINT is one of main targets of the PR-619 and plays a role through an mTOR
signal channel, and OTUD7A serves as an upstream regulation factor of the HINT1. The PR-619 can be used for treating the
CNS injury, the OTUD7A-HINT1-mTOR axis can be used as a
CNS injury treatment target, and the PR-619 and the OTUD7A-HINT1-mTOR axis can be combined for treating the
CNS injury.
