Abstract:
Objective To study the regulatory effect of exogenous fibroblast growth factor(FGF\|2) in expressions of calcitonin gene\|related peptide(CGRP) and FGF\|2 in facial motoneurons after injury. Methods The right facial nerve was transected 6?mm distal to the stylomastoid foraman.A 3?mm\+3 piece of Gelfoam presoaked in 25??l of various test solutions(normal saline,or 16?10 6?IU/L FGF\|2,or 32?10 6?IU/L FGF\|2) was implanted adjacent to the proximal nerve stump.After three days survival,the rats were killed and brainstems were removed.Serial 20??m cryosections were cut through the whole brainstem.The CGRP and FGF\|2 immunoreactivity were studied by immunohistochemisty and image analysis. Results An increase in the CGRP and decrease in the FGF\|2 signals were presented in axotomized motoneurons with saline\|treated animals.In FGF\|2\|treated animals,the lesion\|induced up\|regulation of CGRP and down\|regulation of FGF\|2 were attenuated compairing with normal saline treated animals.Conclusion\ Exogenous FGF\|2 can increase FGF\|2 expression and decrease CGRP expression in rat facial motoneurons after injury.\;[
