摘要
Neurotrophin 3 (NT3), a member of the neurotrophin family, and its specific receptor tyrosine kinase C (TrkC) are involved in the differentiation, survival, and maintenance of many neuronal populations. Recently, NT3 and TrkC were also retained involved in the biology of non-neuronal tissues. In this study, we report the presence of NT3- and TrkC-immunoreactive cells in the endocrine pancreas of adult buffalos. They were usually distributed at the periphery of islets and showed intense immunoreactivity. By double immunohistochemical staining, NT3- and TrkC-IR resulted to be colocalized in glucagon immunoreactive cells. These findings suggest endocrine and/or autocrine roles of NT3 in pancreatic A cells.
