Receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase sigma (RPTPÆ¡) inhibits axonal regeneration and the rate of axon extension
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Transgenic mice lacking RPTPsigma, a type IIa receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase, exhibit severe neural-developmental deficits. Continued expression of RPTPsigma in the adult suggests that it plays a functional role in the mature nervous system. To determine if RPTPsigma might influence axonal regeneration, the time course of regeneration following facial nerve crush in wild type and RPTPsigma (-/-) mice was compared. Mice lacking RPTPsigma exhibited an accelerated rate of functional recovery, suggesting that RPTPsigma slows the extension of regenerating axons. We detected a decrease in RPTPsigma expression by facial motoneurons following nerve crush in wild type mice. Consistent with this, we show that the rate of axon extension is enhanced in neurons obtained from RPTPsigma (-/-) mice. Furthermore, in wild type mice. RPTPsigma is enriched in axonal growth cones. These findings indicate that RPTPsigma slows axon growth via a mechanism intrinsic to the neuron and identify a role for RPTPsigma in regulating axonal regeneration.

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.
