Regulation of expression of mRNAs encoding the nerve growth factor receptors p75 and trkA in developing sensory neurons

S Wyatt and AM Davies
School of Biological and Medical Sciences, University of St. Andrews, Fife, Scotland.

We have used a quantitative reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction amplification technique to study the regulation of p75 mRNA and trkA mRNA expression in developing NGF-dependent trigeminal neurons. Before becoming NGF dependent, these neurons express low levels of p75 and trkA mRNAs in vivo. At this stage in vitro, the level of p75 mRNA is maintained and up-regulated by BDNF, whereas the level of trkA mRNA is sustained independently of neurotrophins and is down-regulated by BDNF. With the acquisition of NGF dependence, p75 and trkA mRNA levels increase markedly in vivo. At this stage in vitro, the level of p75 mRNA is up-regulated by NGF, but this response is lost at later stages. The level of trkA mRNA is sustained in neurons grown with NGF but is not up-regulated by concentrations of NGF above those required to support survival. At no stage during the early development of trigeminal neurons do depolarising levels of potassium ions affect the expression of either p75 mRNA or trkA mRNA. These findings suggest that the expression of p75 and trkA mRNAs are differentially regulated by BDNF and NGF at successive early stages of neuronal development.
