abstract = {In postmitotic neurons, several tumor suppressor genes
(TSGs), including p53, Rb, and PTEN, modulate the axon
regeneration success after injury. Particularly, PTEN
inhibition is a key driver of successful CNS axon
regeneration after optic nerve or spinal cord injury. In
contrast, in peripheral neurons, TSG influence in neuronal
morphology, physiology, and pathology has not been
investigated to the same depth. In this study, we
conditionally deleted PTEN from mouse facial motoneurons
(Chat-Cre/PtenloxP/loxP ) and analyzed neuronal responses in
vivo with or without peripheral facial nerve injury in male
and female mice. In uninjured motoneurons, PTEN loss induced
somatic, axonal, and nerve hypertrophy, synaptic terminal
enlargement and reduction in physiological whisker movement.
Despite these morphologic and physiological changes, PTEN
deletion positively regulated facial nerve regeneration and
recovery of whisker movement after nerve injury.
Regenerating PTEN-deficient motoneurons upregulated P-CREB
and a signaling pathway involving P-Akt, P-PRAS40, P-mTOR,
and P-4EBP1. In aged mice (12 months), PTEN deletion induced
hair loss and facial hyperplasia of the epidermis. This
suggests a time window in younger mice with PTEN loss
stimulating axon growth after injury, however, at the risk
of hyperplasia formation at later time points in the old
animal. Overall, our data highlight a dual TSG function with
PTEN loss impairing physiological neuron function but
furthermore underscoring the positive effects of PTEN
ablation in axon regeneration also for the PNS.SIGNIFICANCE
STATEMENT Tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) restrict cell
proliferation and growth. TSG inhibition, including p53 and
PTEN, stimulates axon regeneration after CNS injury. In
contrast, in PNS axon regeneration, TSGs have not been
analyzed in great depth. Herein we show enhanced peripheral
axon regeneration after PTEN deletion from facial
motoneurons. This invokes a signaling cascade with novel
PTEN partners, including CREB and PRAS40. In adult mice,
PTEN loss induces hyperplasia of the skin epidermis,
suggesting detrimental consequences when reaching adulthood
in contrast to a beneficial TSG role for regeneration in
young adult mice. Thus, our data highlight the double-edged
sword nature of interfering with TSG function.},
