Collagen as Adherent Substratum and Inducer of Dorsal Root Ganglia Outgrowth
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neurite outgrowth from dorsal root ganglion (DRG) explants is a method of evaluating neurotrophic activity of growth factors. When complete medium containing collagen was supplemented with nerve growth factor (NGF) DRG outgrowth was observed after 18 h. In the absence of NGF and in the presence of collagen, the DRG outgrowth took place after 72 h. In wells not supplemented with collagen gel in substratum, no DRG outgrowth was observed. Partially, DRG differentiation was observed in the presence of NGF. In the absence of NGF and collagen, there was no DRG outgrowth detected. It seems that, in some circumstances, cells degenerated by DRG may be an indication of an apoptosis phenomenon. Therefore, we suggested that collagen as a substratum is more effective than NGF. Iran.

متن کاملCell adhesion molecules NgCAM and axonin-1 form heterodimers in the neuronal membrane and cooperate in neurite outgrowth promotion
The axonal surface glycoproteins neuronglia cell adhesion molecule (NgCAM) and axonin-1 promote cell-cell adhesion, neurite outgrowth and fasciculation, and are involved in growth cone guidance. A direct binding between NgCAM and axonin-1 has been demonstrated using isolated molecules conjugated to the surface of fluorescent microspheres. By expressing NgCAM and axonin-1 in myeloma cells and pe...
متن کاملCulture of isolated embryonic chick dorsal root ganglia at an air-liquid interface: a simple method for studying the mechanism and control of neurite outgrowth.
Extensive neurite outgrowth occurs within 24 h from explants of embryonic chick dorsal root ganglia floated on the surface of serum-free culture medium. The amount of neurite outgrowth was less in culture medium containing serum albumen and varied systematically with the concentration of nerve growth factor (NGF). Compared with outgrowth from floating ganglia, the NGF-dependent outgrowth of neu...
متن کاملSchwann cell type V collagen inhibits axonal outgrowth and promotes Schwann cell migration via distinct adhesive activities of the collagen and noncollagen domains.
Previously, we reported the cloning of alpha4 type V collagen, a novel member of the collagen type V gene family that is expressed by Schwann cells in developing peripheral nerves (Chernousov et al., 2000). The present study was performed to investigate the effects of this collagen on the adhesion and migration of premyelinating Schwann cells and neurite outgrowth from embryonic dorsal root gan...
متن کاملDevelopmental changes in neurite outgrowth responses of dorsal root and sympathetic ganglia to GDNF, neurturin, and artemin.
The ability of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), neurturin, and artemin to induce neurite outgrowth from dorsal root, superior cervical, and lumbar sympathetic ganglia from mice at a variety of development stages between embryonic day (E) 11.5 and postnatal day (P) 7 was examined by explanting ganglia onto collagen gels and growing them in the presence of agarose beads impregn...
