EFFECTS OF NERVE GROWTH FACTOR ON CYCLIC AMP LEVELS IN EMBRYONIC CHICK DORSAL ROOT GANGLIA FOLLOWING FACTOR DEPRIVATION

Nerve growth factor (NGF) at 10 B.U./ml produced a 5‐fold increase in the concentration of cyclic AMP 10min after addition to freshly excised embryonic chick dorsal root ganglia (DRG). The presence of NGF at 10 B.U./ml, but not 1 B.U./ml, over a 6 h incubation in nutrient‐free medium prevented this cyclic AMP increase when the DRG were again challenged with NGF (10 B.U./ml) after the 6 h. Incubation of DRG for 6 h at 37°C without NGF did not prevent the cyclic AMP response from occurring when NGF was presented at this time. The basal cyclic AMP concentration, however, decreased by 65–75% during the course of the 6 h incubation, and the continuous presence of NGF (10 B.U./ml) was unable to prevent this. When NGF was added to 6‐h NGF‐deprived DRG, the time for maximum cyclic AMP increase decreased from 15min to 6min with increasing NGF concentrations from 1 to 50 B.U./ml, although the relative magnitude of the cyclic AMP increase was essentially the same (approx 3‐fold) at these NGF concentrations.
