EphA4 regulates neurite outgrowth and regeneration by binding with the ephrin-B ligand of astrocytes. a In the neuron and damaged astrocyte coculture system, EphA4 blocked neurite outgrowth, and interference with ephrin-B ligands on the surface of astrocytes significantly promoted neurite outgrowth. b In the spinal cord slice and damaged astrocyte coculture system, only interference with ephrin-B1 promoted neurite regeneration in the spinal cord slices, however, interference with ephrin-B ligands on the surface of astrocytes significantly promoted neurite outgrowth with the EphA4 Fc stimulation.
