Abstract
We found that the level of nerve growth factor receptor (NGF-R) mRNA in facial motoneurons was increased after both facial nerve crushing and transection by means of in situ hybridization histochemistry. The increased level of NGF-R mRNA was maintained for at least 8 weeks after facial nerve transection, while facial nerve crushing caused only a transient increase. Thus, expression of NGF-R mRNA paralleled the axonal regeneration process. In addition, the increase of NGF-R mRNA with crushing was more pronounced than with transection from the 3rd to the 14th day after the insult.Entities:
