The major pelvic ganglia (MPG) contain both parasympathetic and sympathetic postganglionic neurons and provide much of the autonomic innervation to urogenital organs and components of the lower bowel. Whereas many parasympathetic neurons were found to express vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), no MPG neurons exhibited immunoreactivity for pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP). However, in 3-day cultured MPGs, numerous PACAP-IR cells and nerve fibers were present and transcript levels for PACAP increase As the MPG contains both sympathetic and parasympathetic postganglionic neurons, d significantly. In 3-day cultured MPGs, PACAP immunoreactivity was seen in cells that were also immunoreactive for VIP or neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), but not tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), indicating that PACAP expression occurred preferentially in MPG parasympathetic postganglionic neurons. Transcript levels for the VPAC2, but not VPAC1 or PAC1 receptor, also increased significantly following 3 days in culture. Transcript levels of activating transcription factor 3 (ATF-3), a marker of cellular injury, were increased 64-fold in 3-day explants and ATF-3-IR nuclei were evident in both TH-IR and nNOS-IR neurons as well as in non-neuronal cells. In sum, these results demonstrate that although only the parasympathetic neurons in explant cultured MPGs increase expression of PACAP, both sympathetic and parasympathetic postganglionic neurons in the cultured MPG whole mount increase expression of ATF-3.
