title: GPI-1046 stimulates chicken dorsal root ganglion neurite outgrowth in the presence of nerve growth factor at low concentration in vitro.
abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to re-evaluate the neurotrophic effect of GPI-1046 on neurite outgrowth in vitro. GPI-1046 was synthesized and identified with mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance and elemental analysis. Chicken dorsal root ganglions (DRGs) were removed and divided into three groups: (1) The DRGs were cultured in DMEM containing different concentrations of GPI-1046; (2) The DRGs were cultured in DMEM containing nerve growth factor (NGF) alone at 0.8 and 8 ng/mL, respectively; (3) The DRGs were cultured in DMEM containing both different concentrations of GPI-1046 and NGF at 0.8 ng/mL. The results showed that GPI-1046 alone could not stimulate chicken DRG neurite outgrowth; however, GPI-1046 stimulated DRG neurite outgrowth only in the presence of NGF at low concentration in the culture medium.
