Surgical therapies for prostate cancer and other pelvic malignancies often result in neuronal damage and debilitating loss of sexual function due to cavernous nerve trauma. Advances in the neurobiology of growth factors have heightened clinical interest for the development of protective and regenerative neuromodulatory strategies targeting cavernous nerve recovery following injury. The aim of this review is to offer an examination of current and future nerve growth factor modulation of cavernous nerve response to injury with a focus on brain-derived nerve growth factor, growth-differentiation factor 5, and neurturin. Information for this presentation was derived from a current literature search using the National Library of Medicine PubMed Services producing publications relevant to this topic. Search terms included neuroprotection, nerve regeneration, nerve growth factors, neurotrophic factors, brain-derived nerve growth factor (BDNF), growth-differentiation factor 5 (GDF-5), neurturin (NTN), and cavernous nerves. Basic science studies satisfying the search inclusion criteria were reviewed. In this session, BDNF and atypical growth factors GDF-5 and NTN, and their potential influence upon cavernous nerve recovery after injury is reviewed, as are the molecular pathways by which their influence is exerted. Compromised cavernous nerve function is a significant cause of erectile dysfunction development following prostatectomy and serves as the primary target for potential neuroprotective or regenerative strategies utilizing nerve growth factors such as BDNF, GDF-5, and NTN, and/or targeted novel therapeutics modulating signaling pathways.
