Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor and Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Are Required Simultaneously for Survival of Dopaminergic Primary Sensory Neurons In Vivo

Table 1.

Counts of total and TH+ neuronal profiles in the petrosal ganglion from newborn wild-type (+/+/+/+),gdnf homozygous (+/+/−/−), bdnf homozygous (−/−/+/+), and bdnf/gdnf double homozygous (−/−/−/−) mice

Genotype Total profile Change TH+profile Change
(bdnf/gdnf) Number (n) (%) Number (n) (%)
A. (+/+)/(+/+) 3816  ± 369  (12) 0 E. 253  ± 12  (23) 0
B. (+/+)/(−/−) 2329  ± 260  (10)1-a,1-d,1-e −39 F. 147  ± 12  (15)1-a,1-b,1-c −42
C. (−/−)/(+/+) 1882  ± 150  (5)1-a,1-d −51 G. 106  ± 12  (13)1-a,1-d −58
D. (−/−)/(−/−) 1435  ± 180  (5)1-a −62 H. 97  ± 14  (6)1-a −62
  • Profile counts are shown as means ± SEM. Percent change is relative to wild-type.

  • ↵F1-a Differs frombdnf+/+gdnf+/+ (wild-type).

  • ↵F1-b Differs frombdnf−/−gdnf+/+ (BDNF knock-out;p < 0.05).

  • ↵F1-c Differs frombdnf−/−gdnf−/− (BDNF/GDNF double knock-out;p < 0.05).

  • ↵F1-d Not different frombdnf−/−gdnf−/− (BDNF/GDNF double knock-out).

  • ↵F1-e Not different frombdnf−/−gdnf+/+ (BDNF knock-out).
