RESUMEN
Oncomodulin (OM) is known by us progressively as a Calcium binding protein.Recently, OM has been found that it is secreted by inflammatory cells (neutrophilic granulocyte), and a signal which can promote cell growth between innate immunity and neurons, and a key to regenerate the damaged optical nerves by activating inflammation.The function of promoting the regeneration progress of axons has become a hot issue in recent years.This article summarized the mechanism of OM and the relationship between inflammation-induced OM and optic nerve regeneration research and progress were reviewed.
RESUMEN
Oncomodulin(OM) is a kind of Ca-bind protein(CABP),and it belongs to the tropon in C super family.It different from other CABP because of its special domain(CD domain) which could bind with Ca2+.Multiple functions of OM have been determined during the study of its construction and distribution.It plays very important role in adjusting cell electric activity,regulating cell signal conduction passageway and cell cycle.In recent years,the study on OM promoting axon regeneration is emerging,especially in the regeneration of optical nerve.It offers a basis for solving the regeneration of spinal cord and cranial nerve.The concept,construction and distribution,action mechanism and its relationship with regeneration of optical nerve were reviewed in this article.
