Inhibitors of protein synthesis and RNA synthesis prevent neuronal death caused by nerve growth factor deprivation
We have developed an experimental paradigm to study the mechanism by which nerve growth factor (NGF) allows the survival of sympathetic neurons. Dissociated sympathetic neurons from embryonic day-21 rats were grown in vitro for 7 d in the presence of NGF. Neurons were then deprived of trophic support by adding anti-NGF antiserum, causing them to die between 24 and 48 h later. Ultrastructural ch...
متن کاملEffects of psychotropic drugs on nerve growth factor protein levels in the rat brain
Introduction: Psychotropic drugs exert their effects, in part, by increasing neurotrophin levels in the brain. Nerve growth factor (NGF) protein levels after treatment with only a limited number of psychotropics have been determined. The present study was designed in order to evaluate the effects of acute and chronic administration of different psychotropic drugs on NGF protein levels in fiv...
متن کاملEffects of Different Psychotropic Agents on the Central Nerve Growth Factor Protein
Objective(s) Psychotropic medications produce their effects, in part, through increasing neurotrophin levels in the brain. Since studies concerning nerve growth factor (NGF) analysis have been limited in scope, in the current experiments we investigated the effects of diverse psychotropic agents on NGF protein levels in various brain regions of rat. Materials and Methods Male Wistar rats rec...
متن کاملNerve growth factor in human semen: Effect of nerve growth factor on the normozoospermic men during cryopreservation process
Objective(s):Althoughroutinely applied in assisted reproductive technology, human sperm cryopreservation is not a completely successful procedure. Adverse effects of cryopreservation on the fertilization capacity, motility, morphology, and viability of spermatozoa have been proven; cryopreservation has also shown a role in sperm DNA fragmentation and infertility. The post-thaw survival of sperm...
متن کاملRegulation of nerve growth factor signaling by protein phosphatase 2A
The goal of this dissertation research is to determine novel regulatory mechanisms of neurotrophin signaling mediated by protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). PP2A is a ubiquitous Ser/Thr phosphatase that removes phosphates from proteins to switch their activity on or off. The substrate specificity and subcellular localization of PP2A is determined by almost 20 regulatory subunits that associate with ...
