Nerve growth factor differentially modulates the expression of its receptor within the CNS.

The effect of nerve growth factor on the expression of nerve growth factor receptor in the central nervous system of newborn and adult rats was studied by means of immunohistochemistry with the monoclonal antibody 192-IgG. Both during development and in adulthood, the intracerebroventricular administration of nerve growth factor elicited a pronounced increase of nerve growth factor receptor-like immunoreactivity in the cell bodies and neural processes of the basal forebrain cholinergic nuclei, as compared to cytochrome c-treated rats (controls). A pronounced nerve growth factor-induced increase of nerve growth factor receptor-like immunoreactivity was also observed in central regions innervated by trigeminal and spinal ganglia. A moderate to a marked increase of nerve growth factor receptor-like immunoreactivity was evident in some mesencephalic visual system-related structures and thalamic nuclei expressing nerve growth factor receptor. In contrast, NGF treatment did not induce appreciable modification of nerve growth factor receptor-like immunoreactivity in cerebellar, brainstem, and spinal motor structures of newborn rats. In adult nerve growth factor-treated rats, a decrease of nerve growth factor receptor-like immunoreactivity was detected in the cerebellum, whereas no re-expression of nerve growth factor receptor-like immunoreactivity occurred in the motor structures that had expressed it in the first postnatal week. Finally, nerve growth factor was also found to enhance, in both adult and newborn rats, nerve growth factor receptor-like immunoreactivity associated with ependymal and subependymal cellular elements of the lateral and third ventricles, as well as with the leptomeninges overlying the superior colliculus and supraoptic area. The present results indicate that endogenous nerve growth factor or nerve growth factor-like molecules may play a dynamic role in a variety of cell populations of both the developing and mature mammalian central nervous system. We thus propose the nerve growth factor ability to modulate its receptor in vivo as a novel criterion to define nerve growth factor or nerve growth factor-like molecules, sensitive neuronal, and non-neuronal cells. Whereas this criterion does not intrinsically possess absolute physiological validity, its pharmacological concomitants might be relevant in view of the proposed therapeutical use of this trophic factor.
