The Rho family GTPases regulates axon growth and regeneration. Inactivation of Rho with C3, a toxin from Clostridium botulinum, can stimulate regeneration and sprouting of injured axons. The present invention provides novel chimeric C3-like Rho antagonists. These new antagonists are a significant improvement over C3 compounds because they are 3-4 orders of magnitude more potent to stimulate axon growth on inhibitory substrates than recombinant C3. The invention further provides evidence that these compounds promote repair when applied to the injured mammalian central nervous system.

The invention relates to promotion of a process for regeneration of an injured nerve using a plurality of guiding means, preferably a plurality of guiding fibres, presenting an in vivo biodegradability being such that at least a majority of said guiding means becomes essentially disintegrated by degradation (and / or dissolution) during a pre-contact period extending from application of the device at the injured nerve up to a first occurrence of a re-established (regenerated) contact between the ends of the injured nerve. During a post-contact period extending from the end of the pre-contact period and up to the end of the regeneration process, the disintegrated guiding means will provide no substantial axon growth guiding function and no substantial axon growth blocking effect.

Gene Delivery Vehicles in the Treatment of Neurodegenerative Diseases

ActiveUS20140100265A1Promoting axon regenerationSugar derivativesPeptide/protein ingredientsGene deliveryAxon growth
Currently no therapies that provide either protection or restoration of neuronal function for adult onset neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease exist. Many clinical efforts to provide such benefits by infusion of neurotropic factors have failed. An alternative approach such as viral construct transduction may be used to directly activate the intracellular signaling pathways that mediate neurotrophic effects and induce axon growth. Viral construct transduction of dopaminergic neurons with a constitutively active human form of the p70S6K gene—hp70S6K (CA)—was shown to induce axon regeneration from living dopaminergic cell bodies that had no living axons.
