NGF-dependent neurons and neurobiology of emotions and feelings: Lessons from congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis.
Neurosci Biobehav Rev
April 2018
Department of Pediatrics, Kumamoto University Hospital, Honjo 1-1-1, Chuou-ku, Kumamoto 860-8556, Japan. Electronic address:
NGF is a well-studied neurotrophic factor, and TrkA is a receptor tyrosine kinase for NGF. The NGF-TrkA system supports the survival and maintenance of NGF-dependent neurons during development. Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder due to loss-of-function mutations in the NTRK1 gene encoding TrkA.

Background: Humans have 4 million exocrine sweat glands, which can be classified into two types: eccrine and apocrine glands. Sweat secretion, a constitutive feature, is directly involved in thermoregulation and metabolism, and is regulated by both the central nervous system (CNS) and autonomic nervous system (ANS).
Objectives: To explore how sweat secretion is controlled by both the CNS and the ANS and the mechanisms behind the neural control of sweat secretion.

Paladino, T.R.), University of Naples "Federico II"; Neurology Department (M.N., V.P.), "Salvatore Maugeri" Foundation IRCCS-Medical Center of Telese, Telese Terme, Italy; Department of Human Genetics and Hussman Institute for Human Genomics (F.T., A.P.R., S.Z.), Miller School of Medicine, University of Miami, FL; Molecular Medicine Laboratory (C.N., F.M.S.), Department of Developmental Neuroscience, IRCCS Fondazione Stella Maris, Pisa, Italy; and Department of Neurology (M.E.S.), University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, Iowa City.
Objective: To describe a second hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy type VI (HSAN-VI) family harboring 2 novel heterozygous mutations in the dystonin () gene and to evaluate their effect on neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC).
Methods: The family consisted of 3 affected siblings from nonconsanguineous healthy parents. All members underwent clinical and electrophysiologic evaluation and genetic analysis.
Key features and clinical variability of COG6-CDG.

The conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex consists of eight subunits and plays a crucial role in Golgi trafficking and positioning of glycosylation enzymes. Mutations in all COG subunits, except subunit 3, have been detected in patients with congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) of variable severity. So far, 3 families with a total of 10 individuals with biallelic COG6 mutations have been described, showing a broad clinical spectrum.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFNerve growth factor (NGF) is a neurotrophic factor essential for the survival and maintenance of neurons. Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is caused by loss-of-function mutations in NTRK1, which encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase, TrkA, for NGF. Mutations in NTRK1 cause the selective loss of NGF-dependent neurons, including both NGF-dependent primary afferents and sympathetic postganglionic neurons, in otherwise intact systems.
