Abstract
Regeneration of the sciatic nerve is a sophisticated process that involves the interplay of several signaling pathways that orchestrate the cellular responses critical to regeneration. Among the key pathways are the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), and Janus kinase/signal transducers and transcription activators (JAK/STAT) pathways. In particular, the cAMP pathway modulates neuronal survival and axonal regrowth. It influences various cellular behaviors and gene expression that are essential for nerve regeneration. MAPK is indispensable for Schwann cell differentiation and myelination, whereas PI3K/AKT is integral to the transcription, translation, and cell survival processes that are vital for nerve regeneration. Furthermore, GTP-binding proteins, including those of the Ras homolog gene family (Rho), regulate neural cell adhesion, migration, and survival. Notch signaling also appears to be effective in the early stages of nerve regeneration and in preventing skeletal muscle fibrosis after injury. Understanding the intricate mechanisms and interactions of these pathways is vital for the development of effective therapeutic strategies for sciatic nerve injuries. This review underscores the need for further research to fill existing knowledge gaps and improve therapeutic outcomes.
