Peripheral projections of primary sensory neurons immunoreactive for brain-derived neurotrophic factorX F Zhou
Department of Human Physiology and Center for Neuroscience, Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia
Neurosci Lett 261:151-4. 1999..These results provide evidence that primary sensory neurons immunoreactive for BDNF project mainly to subcutaneous tissues but not to autonomic ganglia and their adjacent viscera...- Neurotrophins from dorsal root ganglia trigger allodynia after spinal nerve injury in ratsX F Zhou
Department of Human Physiology, Flinders University of South Australia, GPO Box 2100, Adelaide 5001, Australia

Department of Human Physiology and Centre for Neuroscience, Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide
Eur J Neurosci 9:2753-64. 1997..Thus, we have provided a clear example that one type of neurone derives, through a retrograde transport mechanism, two neurotrophic factors simultaneously from its peripheral effector tissues... - Distribution of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in cranial and spinal gangliaX F Zhou
Department of Human Physiology, Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia
Exp Neurol 149:237-42. 1998..In particular, the proportion of brain-derived neurotrophic factor that is derived from extraganglionic sources in the placode-derived ganglia appears greater than that in the neural crest-derived ganglia... - Satellite-cell-derived nerve growth factor and neurotrophin-3 are involved in noradrenergic sprouting in the dorsal root ganglia following peripheral nerve injury in the ratX F Zhou
Department of Human Physiology and Centre for Neuroscience, Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia
Eur J Neurosci 11:1711-22. 1999..These results implicate satellite cell-derived neurotrophins in the induction of sympathetic sprouting following peripheral nerve injury... - Endogenous nerve growth factor is required for regulation of the low affinity neurotrophin receptor (p75) in sympathetic but not sensory gangliaX F Zhou
Centre for Neuroscience, Flinders University of South Australia, Australia
J Comp Neurol 372:37-48. 1996..In contrast, endogenous NGF is not essential for the regulation of p75 in neurons or glia within sensory ganglia... - Peripheral projections of rat primary sensory neurons immunoreactive for neurotrophin 3X F Zhou
Centre for Neuroscience, Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia
J Comp Neurol 363:69-77. 1995..Thus, the characterization of NT3-ir spinal sensory neurons suggests that large sensory neurons subserving proprioception and mechanoception require NT3 for the maintenance of normal function... - Differential effects of endogenous brain-derived neurotrophic factor on the survival of axotomized sensory neurons in dorsal root ganglia: a possible role for the p75 neurotrophin receptorX F Zhou
Department of Human Physiology, Flinders University of South Australia, GPO Box 2100, Adelaide 5001, Australia
Neuroscience 132:591-603. 2005..While endogenous BDNF induced apoptosis of axotomized sensory neurons through p75NTR in vitro where more neurons expressed p75NTR, it prevented apoptosis in vivo where fewer neurons expressed p75NTR after sciatic nerve transection... - Pericellular Griffonia simplicifolia I isolectin B4-binding ring structures in the dorsal root ganglia following peripheral nerve injury in ratsL Li
Department of Human Physiology and Center for Neuroscience, Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide 5001, Australia
J Comp Neurol 439:259-74. 2001..The significance of the sprouting of IB4-positive neurons remains to be determined... - Functional roles of neurotrophin 3 in the developing and mature sympathetic nervous systemX F Zhou
Department of Human Physiology, Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia
Mol Neurobiol 13:185-97. 1996..Thus, in addition to its role in the differentiation of sympathetic neurons, NT3, like NGF, is also an effector tissue-derived neurotrophic factor for these neurons in maturity... - Lack of effects of transforming growth factor-alpha gene knockout on peripheral nerve regeneration may result from compensatory mechanismsC J Xian
Department of Human Physiology, Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide 5001, Australia
Exp Neurol 172:182-8. 2001.... - An improved procedure for the immunohistochemical localization of nerve growth factor-like immunoreactivityX F Zhou
Department of Physiology, Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide
J Neurosci Methods 54:95-102. 1994..Possible mechanisms underlying the improvement of NGF immunohistochemistry by pH manipulation before fixation are discussed... - Endogenous nerve growth factor and neurotrophin-3 act simultaneously to ensure the survival of postnatal sympathetic neurons in vivoA P Tafreshi
Department of Physiology, Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia
Neuroscience 83:373-80. 1998..However, while each factor may play similar roles in the regulation of postmitotic neuronal function, some evidence for distinct functions has been identified... - Roles of transforming growth factor-alpha and related molecules in the nervous systemC J Xian
Department of Human Physiology and Centre for Neuroscience, Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia
Mol Neurobiol 20:157-83. 1999..Although the collective roles of the EGF family (as well as those of the neuregulins) are shown to be essential for the nervous system, redundancy may exist among members of the EGF family... - Neurotrophic factors are required by mature sympathetic neurons for survival, transmission and connectivityR A Rush
Department of Human Physiology, Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia
Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol 24:549-55. 1997..5. It is concluded that these potent factors control, by both coincident and independent mechanisms, sympathetic neuronal function throughout the life of the animal... - Small primary sensory neurons innervating epidermis and viscera display differential phenotype in the adult ratJ Lu
Department of Human Physiology and Centre for Neuroscience, Flinders University of South Australia, G.P.O. Box 2100, Adelaide 5100, Australia
Neurosci Res 41:355-63. 2001..Thus, NGF sensitive neurons primarily project to viscera but not epidermis or other skin structures, whereas IB-4 positive neurons primarily project to epidermis in the adult rat... - Endogenous brain-derived neurotrophic factor is anterogradely transported in primary sensory neuronsX F Zhou
Centre for Neuroscience, Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia
Neuroscience 74:945-53. 1996..The findings add a new dimension to the role of neuronal growth factors, since anterograde transport has not been observed previously for any endogenous survival factor... - Measurement of neurotrophin 4/5 in rat tissues by a sensitive immunoassayS H Zhang
Department of Human Physiology and Centre for Neuroscience, The Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia
J Neurosci Methods 89:69-74. 1999..The availability of an immunoassay for the estimation of NT4/5 protein in rat tissues should contribute to the understanding of the physiology of this little understood neurotrophic factor... 
MicroRNA-143 expression in dorsal root ganglion neuronsS Tam Tam
Department of Anatomy and Histology, Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide, SA, Australia
Cell Tissue Res 346:163-73. 2011..Since expression levels of miR-143 were higher in I-B4 positive neurons and declined in response to inflammation but not axotomy, miR-143 could selectively contribute to mRNA regulation in specific populations of nociceptors...
