Thus, it was well justified to consider that DRG neurons similarly are able to synthesize progesterone de novo from cholesterol. Because direct progesterone effects on axonal outgrowth in peripheral neurons have not been investigated up to now, the present study provides the first insights into the impact of exogenous progesterone on axonal outgrowth in DRG neurons. Our studies including microinjection and laser scanning microscopy demonstrate morphological changes especially in the neuronal growth cones after progesterone treatment. Furthermore, we were able to detect a distinctly enhanced motility only a few minutes after the start of progesterone treatment using time-lapse imaging. Investigation of the cytoskeletal distribution in the neuronal growth cone before, during, and after progesterone incubation revealed a rapid reorganization of actin filaments. To get a closer idea of the underlying receptor mechanisms, we further studied the expression of progesterone receptors in DRG neurons using RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Thus, we could demonstrate for the first time that classical progesterone receptor (PR) A and B and the recently described progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) are expressed in DRG neurons. Antagonism of the classical progesterone receptors by mifepristone revealed that the observed progesterone effects are transmitted through PR-A and PR-B."xsd:string |
