Astrocyte growth is regulated by neuropeptides through Tis 8 and basic fibroblast growth factor.
The important intracellular mechanisms of astrocyte growth are not well defined. Using an inhibitor of astrocyte proliferation, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), and the glial mitogen endothelin (ET-3), we sought a common pathway for growth regulation in these neural cells. In cultured fetal rat diencephalic astrocytes, ANP selectively and rapidly inhibited the Tis 8 immediate early gene and pr...
متن کاملVascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production is Regulated by Gene Polymorphisms
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a key role in angiogene-sis and in transplantation. The level of VEGF is related to the differences in the DNA sequence of its promoter region. Objectives: In this study, the association between the combination of VEGF –1154 G and –2578 C alleles and VEGF production by LPS-stimulated PBMCs was investigated. In addition; the relationship ...
متن کاملSenataxin modulates neurite growth through fibroblast growth factor 8 signalling.
Senataxin is encoded by the SETX gene and is mainly involved in two different neurodegenerative diseases, the dominant juvenile form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 4 and a recessive form of ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2. Based on protein homology, senataxin is predicted to be a putative DNA/RNA helicase, while senataxin interactors from patients' lymphoblast cell lines suggest a ...

متن کاملBasic fibroblast growth factor upregulates expression of growth hormone gene through extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 in GH4 cells.
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is reported to not only play multifunctions in pituitary differentiation and tumor formation, stimulating cell differentiation or proliferation, also stimulate pituitary to secret prolactin, growth hormone (GH) and thyroid stimulating hormone, although obvious effect on growth hormone only responded to high-dose bFGF. Since it is well documented that both b...
