Neutralizing antibodies against the neurite growth inhibitory protein Nogo-A are known to induce regeneration, enhance compensatory growth, and enhance functional recovery. In intact adult rats and monkeys or spinal cord injured adult rats, antibodies reached the entire spinal cord and brain through the CSF circulation from intraventricular or intratbecal infusion sites. In the tissue, anti-Nogo antibodies were found inside Nogo-A expressing oligodendrocytes and neurons. Intra-cellularly, anti-Nogo-A antibodies were colocalized with endogenous Nogo-A in large organels, some of which containing the lysosomal marker cathepsin-D. This suggests antibody-induced internalization of cell surface Nogo-A. Total Nogo-A tissue levels in spinal cord were decreased in intact adult rats following 7 days of antibody infusion. This mechanism was confirmed in vitro; cultured oligodendrocytes and neurons had lower Nogo-A contents in the presence of anti-Nogo-A antibodies. These results demonstrate that antibodies against a CNS cell surface protein reach their antigen through the CSF and can induce its downregulation. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
