Immortalized Schwann cell lines as useful tools for pathogenesis-based therapeutic approaches to diabetic peripheral neuropathy

Abstract excerpt

Growing evidence suggests that hyperglycemia-related abnormalities in Schwann cells play a pivotal role in the development and progression of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Several immortalized Schwann cell lines have been established in our laboratory and utilized for the study of DPN; IMS32 from normal ICR mice, 1970C3 from normal C57BL/6 mice, IWARS1 and IKARS1 from wild-type and aldose...
