- W2003841875 abstract "We have previously reported that the hippocampal cholinergic fiber network is severely damaged in animals withdrawn from ethanol, and that a remarkable recovery in fiber density occurs following hippocampal grafting, a finding that we suggested to be underpinned by the graft production of neurotrophic factors, which are known to be decreased after ethanol exposure. It is widely accepted that nerve growth factor (NGF) signals the neurons of the brain cholinergic system, including those of the medial septum/vertical limb of the diagonal band of Broca (MS/VDB) nuclei, from which the septohippocampal projection arises. Because neurons in these nuclei are vulnerable to ethanol consumption and withdrawal we thought of interest to investigate, in withdrawn rats previously submitted to a prolonged period of ethanol intake, the effects of intraventricular delivery of NGF upon the MS/VDB cholinergic neurons. Stereological methods were applied to estimate neuron numbers and neuronal volumes in choline acetyltransferase (ChAT)-immunostained and Nissl-stained material. We have found that in ethanol-fed rats there was a significant reduction in the total number of Nissl-stained and cholinergic neurons in the MS/VDB, and that the suppression of ethanol intake further decreased neuron numbers. In addition, the somatic size of ChAT-IR neurons was reduced by ethanol intake, and withdrawal further aggravated neuronal atrophy. NGF treatment prevented the withdrawal-associated loss, and induced hypertrophy, of cholinergic neurons. These findings show that exogenous NGF protects the phenotype and prevents the withdrawal-induced degeneration of cholinergic neurons in the MS/VDB. These effects might be due to the trophic action of NGF upon the basal forebrain cholinergic neurons, including the hippocampal fiber network that conveys this neurotrophin retrogradely to the MS/VDB, and/or upon their targets, that is, the hippocampal formation neurons." @default.
