## Abstract Rat sciatic nerve Schwann cells either do not proliferate, or proliferate very slowly, in medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). They were previously shown to respond only to a limited number of mitogens associated with cells of central and peripheral nervous systems, which app
We have shown previously that prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) and prostaglandin I(2) (PGI(2)) are each produced in an explant model of peripheral nerve injury. We report that IP prostanoid receptor mRNA and protein are present in primary rat Schwann cells. IP prostanoid receptor stimulation using prosta
We compared the mitogenic response of Schwann cells freshly isolated from adult, neonatal, and embryonic nerves, and compared these cells with cells that had been cultured in serum for 5 days. DNA synthesis in response to growth factors was measured using bromodeoxyuridine and immunocytochemistry. F
In the present study the role of cAMP for axonal outgrowth and Schwann cell proliferation was studied using the cultured frog sciatic nerve. An intrinsic rise in nerve and ganglionic cAMP could be measured as a response to nerve injury, both in vitro and in vivo. Treatment with 0.1-1.0 p M forskolin
