Abstract
Astroglial cells in primary culture release factors into the medium that promote the growth and prolong the survival of rat hippocampal neurons in vitro.

2,286 Citations1979Jane E. Bottenstein, Gordon Sato
The rat neuroblastoma B104 cell line was able to proliferate in the absence of serum in synthetic medium supplemented with insulin, transferrin, progesterone, selenium, and putrescine, and in combination there was a marked synergistic effect on cell number.
Brain ResearchRat hippocampal neurons in dispersed cell culture
1,118 Citations1977Gary Banker, William Cowan
There is a clear relationship between the stage of the cells' development and their growth in culture and in the presence of hippocampal explants the initial growth of the isolated cells is improved and their survival in culture is extended to about two weeks.
NatureAdult rat brain astrocytes support survival of both NGF-dependent and NGF-insensitive neurones
376 Citations1979Ronald M. Lindsay
It is reported here that adult rat brain astrocytes can promote the in vitro survival of not only NGF-dependent neurones, such as rat embryo superior cervical ganglion (SCG) cells, but also N GF-insensitive neurones such as the sensory neurones of the rat or chick embryo nodose ganglions.

The Journal of Comparative NeurologyFurther observations on hippocampal neurons in dispersed cell culture
284 Citations1979Gary Banker, William Cowan
Comparisons of the lengths of these dendrite‐like processes with those of hippocampal cells in the brains of animals sacrificed on the fourth post‐natal day and impregnated by a variant of the Golgi‐Cox method indicate that in some cases the rate of process formation in vitro approximates that in vivo and that the general form of the neurons is remarkably like that of immature pyramidal cells.
Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesInduction of neurite outgrowth by a conditioned-medium factor bound to the culture substratum
243 Citations1978Frank M. Collins
Heart-cell conditioned medium (HCM) induces rapid neurite outgrowth from isolated neurons in culture due to a trypsin-sensitive factor which attaches to the polyornithinecoated culture substratum, which is possible to be a factor that possesses sites to which nerve cell surface components adhere.
Developmental BiologySurvival and development in culture of dissociated parasympathetic neurons from ciliary ganglia
176 Citations1976Stephen L. Helfand, Gary A. Smith +1 more
Parasympathetic neurons from avian embryonic ciliary ganglia survive in low density culture when neurons are free from contact with other cells and follow patterns of charged substratum provided in the culture dish.
NatureNew factor released by cultured glioma cells supporting survival and growth of sensory neurones
171 Citations1978Yves‐Alain Barde, R.M. Lindsay +2 more
It is reported here that glioma-conditioned medium (GCM), the source of glial factor, can support both survival and fibre formation of isolated chick sensory neurones and that neither NGF nor glia factor are responsible for this effect.

160 Citations1978Harold K. Kimelberg, Shigehiko Narumi +1 more
The increase in ATPase and carbonic anhydrase activities in rat brain with increasing age may be in part a reflection of proliferation and development of astroglia cells, and provides additional evidence that primary cultures derived from neonatal rats may closely resemble developing astrogolia in vivo.
Developmental BiologyAxon initiation by ciliary neurons in culture
154 Citations1978Frank M. Collins
A nerve culture system for the study of axon initiation is described, which consists of organization of the randomly distributed surface movements into localized highly active growth cones, which then form axons following addition of heart cell-conditioned medium.

The cultured cells used in the present study show the closest resemblance so far to glia in vivo, since they are large and negative and are determined mainly by K+.

The brain‐specific antigens 14·3·2, GFA, A5, F3, D1, D2, D3 and C1 were quantitated in a short‐term astroglial cell culture taken as a model of glial cells, and insynaptosomes, synaptosomal membranes and synaptic vesicles as neuronal material.
NatureSurvival and development of ciliary ganglion neurones grown alone in cell culture
127 Citations1979Rae Nishi, Darwin K. Berg
It is reported here that culture medium conditioned by contact with heart or skeletal muscle cells permits complete long-term survival of the dissociated neurones grown in the absence of other cell types.

Conditioned medium derived from embryonic chick heart cell cultures (heart conditioned medium; HCM) supports vigorous neurite outgrowth from embryonic sympathetic, sensory, and ciliary neurons, but HCM stimulation of peripheral nervous system cells may not operate via NGF.

Bacteriophage immunoassays and biological assays have been used to measure levels of NGF in media conditioned by rat C-6 glioma cells in culture and these cells secrete a macromolecule which is indistinguishable from mouse submandibular gland NGF.

It is concluded that the rat glioma protein is homologous to mouse salivary nerve growth factor and the possibility that glial nerve growthFactor plays a role in neuronal development and regeneration is suggested.
NatureDistinction between nerve growth factor and glial factor
66 Citations1975Denis Monard, K. Stöckel +2 more
Evidence is presented that NGF and glial factor are molecules with different properties and distinct specificities, and that a partially purified fraction of this homogenate induces morphological differentiation in neuroblastoma cells.

Dissociated hippocampal cultures from fetal mice (13--18 days gestational age) can be maintained for up to two months in culture and demonstrates an organizational complexity ranging from a loosely reticulated neuropil to fascicles containing many fibers.

The results indicate that, given a minimal level of nonneurons, the performance in culture of these ganglionic neurons could be promoted in very similar patterns by either increasing the exogenous Nerve Growth Factor in the medium or increasing the gangl ions on the culture floors, with an approximate and fixed ratio of 10−7 biological unit per nonneuron.

When cultured on glial layers for 3 days, the brain cells differentiated into characteristic neuroblasts, as demonstrated by specific neuronal stainings, which support the hypothesis of a stimulatory role of glial cells in neuronal differentiation.
