✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Cultured Schwann cells divide in response to a limited repertoire of mitogens. In addition to cyclic AMP analogs and reagents that raise intracellular cyclic AMP, the only purified mitogens for Schwann cells are transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ), acidic (a) and basic (b) fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and the BB and AB dimers of platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF). Although individually each one of these growth factors is only weakly mitogenic, it is shown here that when TGFβ and bFGF are added to Schwann cell cultures together, they interact to produce a mitogenic response that is much greater than that produced by either growth factor alone. Both the absolute concentration of each protein and the molar ratio of TGFβ to bFGF determines the magnitude of the Schwann cell response.

Most previous studies on Schwann cell proliferation in vitro have used serum-containing media. This complicates the analysis of agents required for cell division since serum contains an ill-defined mixture of hormones and growth factors. Serum-free medium has therefore been used to analyse the respo
