چکیده

objective(s)progesterone is a steroid hormone whose biology has been greatly studied within the confines of reproductive function. in recent years, the neuroprotective effects of progesterone have attracted growing interest. glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (gdnf), is a neurotrophic factor which plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of distinct sets of central and peripheral neurons. in the present study, we investigated the potential implication of gdnf in the neuroprotective action of progesterone.materials and methodscultured rat c6 glioma cells were treated with progesterone (100 nm, 1 μm, and 10 μm) or its vehicle. after 24, 36, 48 and 72 hr, gdnf protein levels were measured in the cell-conditioned media and cell lysates using a gdnf elisa kit. cell numbers were determined by a cell-counting assay kit.resultsforty-eight hr treatment with progesterone (10 μm) resulted in a significant elevation of gdnf secretion from c6 glioma cells that remained elevated up to 72 hr. the intracellular content of gdnf and cell numbers were not affected by progesterone treatment.conclusionstimulation of gdnf release from glial cells appears as a potential mechanism through which progesterone exerts its neuroprotective effects.

Antipsychotic drugs cause glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor secretion from C6 glioma cells.

OBJECTIVE Atypical antipsychotic drugs have been shown to protect PC12 cells from cell death induced by a variety of stimuli in culture. Recently, it has been postulated that trophic factors, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), play a role in preventing cell death. It has been shown that antipsychotic drugs attenuate the decrease in rat hippocampal BDNF that results from immobiliz...

The Non-Survival Effects of Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor on Neural Cells

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) was first characterized as a survival-promoting molecule for dopaminergic neurons (DANs). Afterwards, other cells were also discovered to respond to GDNF not only as a survival factor but also as a protein supporting other cellular functions, such as proliferation, differentiation, maturation, neurite outgrowth and other phenomena that have bee...

Alginate-matrigel microencapsulated schwann cells for inducible secretion of glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor.

Controlled expression of glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor (Gdnf) can be integrated in the development of a system for repair of injured peripheral nerves. This delivery strategy was demonstrated via inducible Gdnf from microencapsulated cells in barium alginate. The Schwann cell line RT4-D6P2T was initially modified utilizing an ecdysone-based stable transfection system to produce RT...

Effects of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor on cultured murine retinal progenitor cells

PURPOSE Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is neuroprotective of retinal neurons, and transduced retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) can deliver this cytokine for the treatment of retinal diseases, yet the potential effects of GDNF on RPCs have received little attention. METHODS Murine RPCs were assessed under multiple conditions in the presence or absence of epidermal growth fact...
