Ekman M, Zhu B, Swärd K, Uvelius B (2017) Neurite outgrowth in cultured mouse pelvic ganglia – Effects of neurotrophins and bladder tissue. Auton Neurosci 205:41-49. doi: 10.1016/j.autneu.2017.03.004 PMID: 28347639
Objective: To characterize the effects of the neurotrophins nerve growth factor (NGF), brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin 3 (NT-3) on the sprouting rate of sympathetic and parasympathetic neurites from the female mouse ganglion.
Summary: All three factors (BDNF, NT-3 and NGF) stimulated neurite outgrowth of both sympathetic and parasympathetic neurites although BDNF and NT-3 had a higher stimulatory effect on parasympathetic ganglion cells. Active forms of BDNF and NT-3 were detected in urinary bladder tissue, whereas tissue from the diaphragm expressed NGF.
