BACKGROUND: As previously various studies have suggested application of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may be considered as a promising future therapy for hearing deficits, in particular for the improvement of cochlear neurone loss during cochlear implantation.
AIM: The present study's aim was to establish the upper threshold of the concentration of BDNF in Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) mice spiral ganglion outgrowth.
METHODS: Spiral ganglion explants were prepared from post-natal day 4 (p4) (NMRI) mice of both sexes under the approval and guidelines of the regional council of Hearing Research Institute Tubingen.
RESULTS: Spiral ganglion explants were cultured at postnatal days 4 in the presence of different concentrations of BDNF as described under methods. We chose an age of postnatal day (P4) and concentrations of BDNF 0; 6; 12.5; 25 and 50 Æžg/ml. Averaged neurite outgrowth is measured in 4 different cultures that were treated with different concentrations. Results show that with increasing concentrations of BDNF, the neurite density increases.
CONCLUSION: The present finding show evidence that BDNF has a clear incremental effect on the number of neurites of spiral ganglia in the prehearing organ, but less on the neurite length. The upper threshold of exogenous BNDF concentration on spiral ganglion explant is 25 Æžg/ml. This means that concentration beyond this level has no further incremental impact. Therefore our suggestion for hydrogel concentration in NMRA mice in future research should be 25 Æžg/ml.Downloads
