    AbstractNeuron-glial-related cell adhesion molecule (NrCAM) is a neuronal cell adhesion molecule that has been shown to be involved in several cellular processes in the peripheral nervous system, including neurite outgrowth. We recently reported that alternative splicing of Nrcam mRNA at exon 10 in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) contributes to the peripheral mechanism of neuropathic pain. Specially, Nrcam antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) targeting Nrcam exon 10, attenuated neuropathic pain hypersensitivities in mice. Here, we investigated the effect of Nrcam ASO on neurite outgrowth of DRG neurons in vitro. By immunostaining DRG neurons with different DRG markers, Nrcam ASO significantly reduced neurite lengths in neurofilament 200-, calcitonin gene-related peptide and isolectin B4-positive neurons in primary DRG neuronal culture. Moreover, Nrcam ASO activates epidermal growth factor receptor, which may mediate the effect of Nrcam ASO on neurite outgrowth of cultured DRG neurons. These results provide evidence that Nrcam ASO suppresses neurite outgrowth in DRG neurons by regulating alternative splicing of Nrcam gene at exon 10 and activation of epidermal growth factor receptor signaling, indicating the differential roles of NrCAM variants/isoforms in neurite outgrowth.Copyright © 2021 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
