An 8.5-kb segment of the PMP22 promoter responds to loss of axon signals during Wallerian degeneration, but does not respond to specific axonal signals during nerve regeneration
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Altered expression of the PMP22 gene causes Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP). We have examined the promoter activity of 8.5 kb upstream of the first coding exon of the rat peripheral myelin protein-22 (rPmp22) gene in transgenic mice. We found that the -8.5 kb rPmp22/chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT)/beta-galactosidase (lacZ) construct directs reporter gene expression in a weakly developmental and tissue-specific pattern, consistent with the expression pattern of the endogenous Pmp22 gene. The -8.5 kb rPmp22/CAT/lacZ transgene responds to loss of axonal signals during Wallerian degeneration but unlike the endogenous Pmp22 gene, the transgene fails to respond to axonal signals during nerve regeneration after a sciatic nerve crush injury. In conclusion, the function of the -8.5 kb rPmp22/CAT/lacZ transgene suggests that there are separable regulatory elements in the rPmp22 gene that respond differently to axonal signals received by Schwann cells during nerve development, and during remyelination.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
