Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) enhances myelin formation: a novel role for CNTF and CNTF-related molecules.
In multiple sclerosis, myelin repair is generally insufficient despite the relative survival of oligodendrocytes within the plaques and the recruitment of oligodendrocyte precursors. Promoting remyelination appears to be a crucial therapeutic challenge. Using a newly developed enzymatic index of myelination, we screened different neurotrophic factors for their ability to enhance myelination. Ne...
متن کاملCNTF treatment of the retina
Lineage analyses of vertebrate retinae have led to the suggestions that cell fate decisions are made during or after the terminal cell division and that extrinsic factors can influence fate choices. The evidence for a role of extrinsic factors is strongest for development of rodent rod photoreceptors (‘rods’). In an effort to identify molecules that may regulate rod development, a number of kno...
متن کاملMice lacking the CNTF receptor, unlike mice lacking CNTF, exhibit profound motor neuron deficits at birth
Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) supports motor neuron survival in vitro and in mouse models of motor neuron degeneration and was considered a candidate for the muscle-derived neurotrophic activity that regulates motor neuron survival during development. However, CNTF expression is very low in the embryo, and CNTF gene mutations in mice or human do not result in notable abnormalities of the d...

15 صفحه اولPolymorphisms in the CNTF and CNTF receptor genes are associated with muscle strength in men and women.
Genotypic associations between polymorphisms in the ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) and CNTF receptor (CNTFR) genes and muscular strength phenotypes in 154 middle-aged men (45-49 yr) and 138 women (38-44 yr) and 99 older men (60-78 yr) and 102 older women (60-80 yr) were tested to validate earlier association studies. Allelic interaction effects were hypothesized between alleles of CNTF and ...
