Abstract

TrkA is a receptor tyrosine kinase whose activation transduces NGF signaling. TrkA expression has been demonstrated in NGF-responsive adult basal forebrain cholinergic neurons (BFCNs). Several lines of evidence have suggested that endogenous NGF plays a role in the development and differentiation of these neurons. We examined TrkA expression during development. TrkA mRNA and protein were present in basal forebrain neurons during the entire postnatal period; the distribution of neurons bearing these markers was identical to that for those containing choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) mRNA, suggesting that, as in the adult, TrkA gene expression is localized to BFCNs. The expression of TrkA and ChAT followed a very similar temporal pattern, suggesting regulation by the same factor(s). We discovered that NGF administration in vivo activated TrkA receptors, and increased both TrkA and ChAT mRNA; conversely, anti-NGF infusions suppressed expression of both genes. These results suggest that endogenous NGF regulates expression of TrkA and ChAT. Finally, while NGF infusion increased the size of developing BFCNs, NGF antibodies inhibited the normal developmental increase. The results are evidence that endogenous NGF acts on developing BFCNs to enhance gene expression and cellular differentiation.

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.
