Nerve growth factor enhances dendritic arborization of sympathetic ganglion cells in developing mammals
WD Snider
Department of Neurology and Neurological Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri 63110.
Recent observations have suggested that the dendritic arbors of sympathetic
ganglion cells may be regulated by interactions with their peripheral
targets (Voyvodic, 1987a; Yawo, 1987). In order to assess a potential
mechanism for such interactions, I have investigated the effects of the
target-derived trophic molecule for sympathetic ganglion cells on the
development of dendrites in the rat superior cervical ganglion. Systemic
treatment of neonatal animals with NGF for 1 or 2 weeks results in a
striking expansion of ganglion cell dendritic arbors, as revealed by
intracellular staining with HRP. During this period, neurons in treated
animals extend new primary dendrites, and the length and branching of
existing dendrites are increased compared to age-matched controls. These
results support the idea that targets may regulate ganglion cell arbors via
elaboration of NGF, and suggest an explanation for the correlation between
animal size and dendritic complexity noted in several recent studies
(Purves and Lichtman, 1985a; Snider, 1987; Voyvodic, 1987a).
