NT-3 stimulated localization of β-actin mRNA and protein analyzed using quantitative digital imaging microscopy. Neurons were fixed for in situ hybridization to β-actin mRNA (A) and immunofluorescence detection of β-actin protein (B). DIC and fluorescence images were captured using a cooled CCD camera. 20 growth cones were imaged for each condition with identical exposure times. Data expressed as fluorescence density (total intensity/growth cone area). NT-3 was observed to increase the density of fluorescence signal for both β-actin mRNA and protein within growth cones. #, P < 0.01 when MEM was compared with N2, or MEM was compared with NT-3, 10 min or NT-3, 2 h. *, P < 0.05 when MEM was compared to NT-3 at 10 min. N2, normal culture medium. MEM, starvation in minimum essential medium.
