Axonal sprouts and ( 3 H)norepinephrine uptake by superior cervical ganglia in organ culture.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Superior cervical ganglia from adult rats maintained in organ culture show a progressive increase in the rate of uptake of [(3)H]norepinephrine. The enhanced uptake of norepinephrine is a consequence of the development of axonal sprouts. Formation of axonal sprouts, which appear to have many of the properties of sympathetic nerve endings, is inhibited by colchicine and vinblastine, presumably because of the interaction of these drugs with neurotubular protein.

Biochemical and histofluorescence studies of catecholamines in superior cervical ganglia in organ culture.
The metabolism of catecholamines in rat superior cervical ganglia in organ culture was examined by biochemical and histofluorescence methods. Pronounced increases in both norepinephrine and dopamine content were observed in the cultured ganglia. Norepinephrine levels were more than doubled after 12 hours in culture and reached a maximum after 24 hours. The greatest increase in norepinephrine co...
متن کاملSympathetic reinnervation of the rat iris in organ culture.
Reinnervation of sympathetically denervated rat iris by superior cervical ganglion cells has been demonstrated to occur in vitro. Return of [(3)H]norepinephrine uptake by irises incubated in contact with ganglia was associated with the reappearance of nerve fibers containing catecholamines that were demonstrable by fluorescent histochemistry. The reinnervating neurons appeared to follow the sam...
متن کاملNerve growth factor-mediated induction of tyrosine hydroxylase in rat superior cervical ganglia in vitro.
Exposure of rat sympathetic ganglia to 3 microgram/ml of 2.5 S nerve growth factor (NGF) resulted in a 100% increase in tyrosine hydroxylase activity within 48 h. Pulselabeling of proteins with [3H]leucine, followed by immunoprecipitation with antibodies to tyrosine hydorxylase and isolation of the precipitated enzyme by gel electrophoresis, demonstrated that the increase in tyrosine hydroxylas...
متن کاملSelective de Nouo Synthesis of Tyrosine Hydroxylase in Organ Cultures of Rat Superior Cervical Ganglia after in Viuo Administration of Nerve Growth Factor
Tyrosine hydroxylase is synthesized de nouo in rat superior cervical ganglia in organ culture. The differential rate of synthesis is not increased significantly by the addition of nerve growth factor to the culture. Prior administration of nerve growth factor in vim. however, leads to an augmented synthesis of tyrosine hydroxylase in ganglia subsequently cultured in vitro. The differential rate...

Tyrosine hydroxylase is synthesized de novo in rat superior cervical ganglia in organ culture. The differential rate of synthesis is not increased significantly by the addition of nerve growth factor to the culture. Prior administration of nerve growth factor in vivo, however, leads to an augmented synthesis of tyrosine hydroxylase in ganglia subsequently cultured in vitro. The differential rat...
