Abstract

Neurotrophin 3 (NT-3) promotes the survival and induces neurite outgrowth from a subset of neural crest (NC) and placode-derived neurons. We now report that this growth factor regulates the proliferation of cultured NC progenitor cells grown in a serum-free defined medium. In cultures of somites containing NC cells at migratory stages, NT-3 promotes a 2- to 8.4-fold increase in the number of NC cells incorporating [3H]thymidine into nuclei and a 1.8- to 4.8-fold increase in NC cell number compared to controls without added factor. NT-3 also promoted, to a lesser extent, the proliferation of NC cells in homogeneous cultures established from NC clusters. In addition to its effect on NC cells, NT-3 was mitogenic to somite cells in the mixed NC/somite cultures. These data demonstrate that NT-3 can act directly on the NC cells. They also indicate that the response of NC cells to NT-3 may be modulated by the presence of somitic cells. We suggest that NT-3 may be one of the central nervous system-derived factors that mediate NC cell proliferation in vivo.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
