Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Receptors for nerve growth factor are present in the olfactory bulb and in cholinergic nuclei that send projections to the olfactory bulb. The retrograde transport of 125I-labeled recombinant human nerve growth factor (rhNGF) was demonstrated in the rat 18 h following an injection of [125I]rhNGF into the left olfactory bulb. In each of six animals, [125I]rhNGF label was observed in the ipsilateral horizontal limb of the diagonal band and, in four of the 6 animals, in the vertical limb of the diagonal band. Label was not observed in any other brain region except within the injected olfactory bulb. The transport of label to the diagonal band was blocked by the injection of 170-fold greater concentration of unlabeled rhNGF. Emulsion autoradiography of hematoxylin/eosin counterstained sections revealed silver grains clustered over numerous cell profiles that resembled neurons. In contrast, cerebellar injections of [125I]rhNGF, with or without unlabeled rhNGF, did not label diagonal band neurons, nor the lateral vestibular or red nuclei, from which originate the primary cholinergic afferents to cerebellum. The receptor-dependent transport of NGF from olfactory bulb to forebrain cholinergic nuclei suggests that this projection, unlike pontomesencephalic cholinergic pathways, may be responsive to endogenous NGF or exogenously administered rhNGF.
