In this regard, immunoblotting studies demonstrated that proNGF is the predominant form of NGF present in the cortex of aged cognitively intact humans [60]. ProNGF levels are increased in the cortex of subjects diagnosed with MCI or mild AD compared to those with NCI [61]. The biological consequences of proNGF are controversial, as is the function of its accumulation in the cortex during the prodromal stages of AD. Emerging literature suggests that recombinant proNGF binds TrkA and promotes neuronal survival and neurite outgrowth similar to mature NGF, but is approximately fivefold less active than the mature NGF peptide [62,63].
