Postnatal homozygous neurotrophin-3 mutant mice display a loss of about half the sympathetic superior cervical ganglion (SCG) neurons (Ernfors, P., Lee, K.-F., Kucera, J. and Jaenisch, R. (1994a) Cell 77, 503-512; Farinas, I., Jones, K. R., Backus, C., Wang, X. Y. and Reichardt, L. F. (1994) Nature 369, 658-661). We found that this loss is caused by excessive apoptosis of sympathetic neuroblasts leading to a failure to generate a normal number of neurons during neurogenesis. NT-3 was also found to be required postnatally. In Nt-3-/- mice, sympathetic fibers failed to invade pineal gland and external ear postnatally; whereas other targets of the external and internal carotid nerves, including the submandibular gland and the iris, displayed a normal complement of sympathetic innervation. Sympathetic fibers of mice carrying one functional copy of the Nt-3 gene (Nt-3+/- mice) invaded the pineal gland, but failed to branch and form a ground plexus. Cultured neonatal sympathetic neurons responded to NT-3 by neurite outgrowth and mRNA upregulation of the NT-3 receptor, trkC. Exogenously administered NT-3 promoted sympathetic growth and rescued the sympathetic target deficit of the mutant mice. We conclude that NT-3 is required for the survival of sympathetic neuroblasts during neurogenesis and for sympathetic innervation and branching in specific targets after birth.
