AbstractThe distribution of nerve growth factor receptors in the lumbar spinal cord of the rat was studied with autoradiographic and immunohistochemical techniques: [125I]nerve growth factor and specific monoclonal antibody (Mab 192) against nerve growth factor receptor were used to localize nerve growth factor binding sites. The distributions of nerve growth factor binding sites with highest density within the superficial layers (laminae I and II) of the dorsal gray matter were virtually identical as demonstrated by these two ligands; this suggests that Mab 192 can be used as a specific probe to identify nerve growth factor receptors in rat nervous system. Nerve growth factor receptor binding sites, as demonstrated by autoradiography, were also found in longitudinal bundles of fibers running dorsolaterally in the lateral funiculus. However, no immunoreactivity was detected in these areas by immunohistochemistry. No specific binding was found in the dorsal horn when [125I]nerve growth factor was co-injected with unlabeled nerve growth factor or after incubation with nonspecific monoclonal antibody. Dorsal root section produced a complete loss of nerve growth factor-specific labeling pattern throughout laminae I-II of the spinal cord. This suggests that nerve growth factor receptors are localized on the nerve terminals of primary afferent fibers which synapse in the region of the spinal cord. The presence of nerve growth factor binding sites in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord is consistent with the possibility that nerve growth factor, or a nerve growth factor-like substance, derived from the central nervous system, may have a role in trophic support of dorsal root ganglion neurons.
