The growth of injured axons in the adult mammalian CNS is limited after injury. Three myelin proteins, Nogo, MAG (myelin-associated glycoprotein), and OMgp (oligodendrocyte myelin glycoprotein), bind to the Nogo-66 receptor (NgR) and inhibit axonal growth in vitro. Transgenic or viral blockade of NgR function allows axonal sprouting in vivo. Here, we administered the soluble function-blocking NgR ectodomain [aa 27-310; NgR(310)ecto] to spinal-injured rats. Purified NgR(310)ecto-Fc protein was delivered intrathecally after midthoracic dorsal over-hemisection. Axonal sprouting of corticospinal and raphespinal fibers in NgR(310)ecto-Fc-treated animals correlates with improved spinal cord electrical conduction and improved locomotion. The ability of soluble NgR(310)ecto to promote axon growth and locomotor recovery demonstrates a therapeutic potential for NgR antagonism in traumatic spinal cord injury.
