Retrograde NGF increased BDNF expression in sensory neurons, which was mediated by the MEK/ERK pathway. In two-compartmented DRG-nerve culture, NGF (50 ng/mL) was added to the chamber containing the sensory axonal terminals. The expression of BDNF was examined in the DRG neuronal soma located in another chamber. After 12 h of NGF treatment, the level of BDNF was increased in the sensory neuronal cell bodies by 3 fold (compare B to A) when compared to control (E). The role of the MEK/ERK pathway in retrograde NGF-triggered BDNF up-regulation was determined by pre-treatment of the ganglia with inhibitors U0126 (C), PD98059 (D) or BIX02188 (E). All inhibitors significantly reduced NGF-evoked BDNF up-regulation in the ganglia when compared to vehicle treatment (F). Results were from 4 independent experiments for each treatment. Bar=80 μm. *, p＜0.05 vs all groups. |
