ABSTRACT
Following rat hypoglossal nerve injury, expression of mRNAs for a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type1 motifs (ADAMTS-1) and IL-1 receptor type 1 (IL-1RT1) are induced in the injured motor neurons. Although N1E-115 (N1E) cells, which were treated with IL-1 alpha, showed no alteration of ADAMTS-1 mRNA expression, a substantial increase of ADAMTS-1 mRNA expression was observed in the N1E cells expressing IL-1RT1. These findings suggest that nerve injury promotes IL-1RT1 expression in the injured neurons and thereby ADAMTS-1 transcription was induced in response to IL-1 released from glial cells.
