Scientific Data

Detection of Human beta-NGF by Flow Cytometry NGF staining by flow cytometry. PBMC of (a) healthy controls (HC) and (b) synovial fluid mononuclear cells (SFMC) from spondyloarthritis (SpA), and (c) rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients were first stained with surface markers (CD3 and CD14) and permeabilized in order to enable intracellular detection of nerve growth factor (NGF). The cells were analysed by flow cytometry after setting lymphocyte (left column) and monocyte (right column) gates according to forward scatter vs side scatter properties of the cells. Dot plots of one representative individual of each group are shown.

Background: beta-NGF
NGF was initially isolated in the mouse submandibular gland as a 7S complex composed of three non-covalently linked subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma. Both the alpha and gamma subunits of NGF are members of the kallikrein family of serine proteases while the beta subunit, called beta -NGF or 2.5S NGF, exhibits all the biological activities ascribed to NGF. Recombinant human beta -NGF is a homodimer of two 120 amino acid polypeptides. The human protein shares approximately 90% homology at the amino acid level with both the mouse and rat beta -NGF and exhibits cross-species activity.
NGF is a well-characterized neurotropic protein that plays a critical role in the development of sympathetic and some sensory neurons in the peripheral nervous system. In addition, NGF can also act in the central nervous system as a trophic factor for basal forebrain cholinergic neurons. NGF has also been shown to have biological effects on non-neuronal tissues. NGF is mitogenic for a factor-dependent human erythroleukemic cell line, TF-1. NGF has been found to increase the number of mast cells in neonatal rats and to induce histamine release from peritoneal mast cells. NGF will enhance histamine release and strongly modulate the formation of lipid mediators by basophils in response to various stimuli. NGF will also induce the growth and differentiation of human B lymphocytes as well as suppress apoptosis of murine peritoneal neutrophils. These results, taken together, suggest that NGF is a pleiotropic cytokine which, in addition to its neurotropic activities, may have an important role in the regulation of the immune system.
