Using in situ hybridization histochemistry and immunocytochemistry the induction of immediate early genes (IEGs) was studied in the rat superior cervical ganglion (SCG) after deafferentation, axotomy and sialectomy (removal of the submandibular gland). Control SCGs showed very low levels of IEGs, whereby Fos proteins were found in 1% and Jun protein in 6% of neurons, but not in non-neuronal cells. Denervation and axotomy induced c-fos, NGFI-A, c-jun, jun B and jun D mRNA expression for up to 6 days in non-neuronal cells, whereas in sympathetic neurons the expression of only c-jun mRNA was induced after axotomy and sialectomy. The induction of Fos and Jun proteins by neuronal injury was demonstrated by immunocytochemistry. The results indicate that neuronal injury induces IEGs mainly in non-neuronal cells and that in neurons only c-jun is induced after axotomy. It is hypothesized that the induction of IEG other than c-jun in neurons after brain injury is an indirect event unrelated to the neuronal response to injury.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001369 Axons Nerve fibers that are capable of rapidly conducting impulses away from the neuron cell body. Axon
D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D013363 Submandibular Gland One of two salivary glands in the neck, located in the space bound by the two bellies of the digastric muscle and the angle of the mandible. It discharges through the submandibular duct. The secretory units are predominantly serous although a few mucous alveoli, some with serous demilunes, occur.
