What is MMP-9 controls Schwann cell proliferation and phenotypic remodeling via IGF-1 and ErbB receptor-mediated activation of MEK/ERK pathway about?

## Abstract Phenotypic remodeling of Schwann cells is required to ensure successful regeneration of damaged peripheral axons. After nerve damage, Schwann cells produce an over 100‐fold increase in metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9), and therapy with an MMP inhibitor increases the number of resident (but not infiltrating) cells in injured nerve. Here, we demonstrate that MMP‐9 regulates proliferation and trophic signaling of Schwann cells. Using __in vivo__ BrdU incorporation studies of axotomized sciatic nerves of MMP‐9−/− mice, we found increased Schwann cell mitosis in regenerating (proximal) stump relative to wild‐type mice. Treatment of cultured primary Schwann cells with recombinant MMP‐9 suppressed their growth, mitogenic activity, and produced a dose‐dependent, biphasic, and selective activation of ERK1/2, but not JNK and p38 MAPK. MMP‐9 induced ERK1/2 signaling in both undifferentiated and differentiated (using dbcAMP) Schwann cells. Using inhibitors to MEK and trophic tyrosine kinase receptors, we established that MMP‐9 regulates Ras/Raf/MEK—ERK pathways through IGF‐1, ErbB, and PDGF receptors. We also report on the early changes of MMP‐9 mRNA expression (within 24 h) after axoto
