OBJECTIVETo investigate the nerve growth factor (NGF) regulating the expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in promoting the proliferation of osteoblast-like cell (MG-63) and thus illustrate the mechanism of the NGF in wound healing.

METHODSDifferent concentrations of NGF were used to stimulate MG-63. The expression of CGRP was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-QPCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay after 1, 2, 3, and 4 days. The proliferation of MG-63 was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). The expression of CGRP mRNA and the proliferation of MG-63 were then detected by RT-QPCR and CCK-8 after adding the NGF receptor blocker.

RESULTSCompared with the blank control group, the expression of CGRP significantly increased by stimulating the NGF. The expression of CGRP was positively related to the concentration of NGF (P<0.05). Moreover, the expression of CGRP increased by prolonging the NGF stimulation time. The proliferation of MG-63 increased after stimulating the NGF (P<0.05). After adding the NGF receptor blocker, the expression of CGRP and the proliferation of MG-63 correspondingly decreased (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONNGF can up-regulate the expression of CGRP and increase the proliferation of MG-63. Therefore, NGF plays a significant role in wound healing.
