Expression of ciliary neurotrophic factor activated by retinal Müller cells in eyes with NMDA- and kainic acid-induced neuronal death.
PURPOSE To elucidate the role of retinal Muller cells in N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)- or kainic acid (KA)induced retinal damage. METHODS In experimental eyes, NMDA or KA was injected into the vitreous of rat eyes. Immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis were conducted to elucidate expression and localization of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNT...
متن کاملMesenchymal Stem Cells: Signaling Pathways in Transdifferentiation Into Retinal Progenitor Cells
Several signaling pathways and transcription factors control the cell fate in its in vitro development and differentiation. The orchestrated use of these factors results in cell specification. In coculture methods, many of these factors secrete from host cells but control the process. Today, transcription factors required for retinal progenitor cells are well known, but the generation of these ...
متن کاملMechanisms of glutamate metabolic signaling in retinal glial (Müller) cells.
Retinal Müller (glial) cells metabolize glucose to lactate, which is preferentially taken up by photoreceptor neurons as fuel for their oxidative metabolism. We explored whether lactate supply to neurons is a glial function controlled by neuronal signals. For this, we used subcellular fluorescence imaging and either amperometric or optical biosensors to monitor metabolic responses simultaneousl...
متن کاملSox10 regulates ciliary neurotrophic factor gene expression in Schwann cells.
Ciliary neurotrophic factor (Cntf) plays an essential role in postnatal maintenance of spinal motoneurons. Whereas the expression of this neurotrophic factor is low during embryonic development, it is highly up-regulated after birth in myelinating Schwann cells of rodents. To characterize the underlying transcriptional mechanisms, we have analyzed and compared the effects of various glial trans...
متن کاملThe trophic effect of ciliary neurotrophic factor on injured masseter muscle in rat
Objective(s): Occlusal trauma is one of the most common forms of oral biting dysfunction. Long-term occlusal trauma could weaken the stomatognathic system; especially damage one’s masticatory muscle. Through using the rat model, this study investigated the trophic effect of ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) on injured masseter muscle. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats (n=36) were random...
