Treatment consisted of recombinant rat or human ciliary neurotrophic factor (or a vehicle solution), 1\u2010mg\/kg subcutaneous injection, three times per week for 4 weeks after the clinical diagnosis. The number of motor neurons immunoreactive for calcitonin gene\u2010\u2010related peptide was higher in mice receiving rat ciliary neurotrophic factor (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.03), although the number of choline acetyltransferase\u2010reactive neurons was the same in both treated and untreated control groups. Treatment did not prevent vacuolar degeneration of motor neurons. In mice treated with human ciliary neurotrophic factor, the percentage of axons undergoing acute axonal degeneration (myelin ovoids) was smaller in the entire C5 ventral root (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.02) and in the musculocutaneous nerve (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.04), and the number of myelinated nerve fibers was 30% higher in both nerves (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.01 and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.04, respectively) than in controls. In ciliary neurotrophic factor\u2010treated mice, the biceps muscle weight was 20% greater, the mean muscle fiber diameter was 30% larger, and the number of atrophied muscle fibers was 75% lower than that in the vehicle\u2010treated wobbler mice (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001 for all three results). The number of terminal axonal branching points and the mean length of motor end\u2010plates were also higher in the ciliary neurotrophic factor\u2010treated mice (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001 and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.02, respectively). Our study thus suggests that ciliary neurotrophic factor slowed neuronal degeneration, enhanced axonal regeneration at both the proximal and distal motor axons, and reduced muscle atrophy in this motor neuron disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.410370110","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,1]],"date-time":"2005-01-01T16:12:48Z","timestamp":1104595968000},"page":"47-54","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Histometric effects of ciliary neurotrophic factor in wobbler mouse motor neuron disease"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Ken","family":"Ikeda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vivien","family":"Wong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas H.","family":"Holmlund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tom","family":"Greene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jesse M.","family":"Cedarbaum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ronald M.","family":"Lindsay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Mitsumoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.451576"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-4159.1980.tb04622.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.410260402"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0166-2236(91)90097-E"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.10-11-03507.1990"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1242\/jcs.1991.Supplement_15.14"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1460-9568.1993.tb00513.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.2011743"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/345440a0"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4720","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.13-11-04720.1993","article-title":"Breedlove SM.
