Bovine growth hormone (bGH) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) increased the activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in brain cell aggregates cultured in a serum-free chemically defined medium. ODC is considered as a marker of cell growth and differentiation. The effect of bGH and EGF on myelination was investigated by measuring 2 myelin markers, 2'',3''-cyclic nucleotide-3''-phosphodiesterase (CNP) and myelin basic protein (MBP). EGF treatment at days 2 and 5 caused a dose-dependent increase of both myelin markers at culture day 12. This increase could still be observed at culture day 19, indicating a prolonged action of EGF. The continual presence of bGH in the culture medium produced a large accumulation of MBP at day 19. This effect was dose-dependent and required the presence of triiodothyronine (T3). The effect of bGH on CNP activity did not require the presence of T3. This is the first report showing a direct effect of bGH on CNS myelination in vitro and of EGF on both MBP accumulation and ODC activity.
