Expression and binding characteristics of the BDNF receptor chick trkB.
Previous studies using transfected cells have indicated that the mammalian receptor tyrosine kinase trkB binds the neurotrophins brain-derived neurotrophic factor, neurotrophin-3 and neurotrophin-4. However, most studies demonstrating that these neurotrophins prevent the death of embryonic neurons and have specific neuronal receptors have been performed with chick neurons. In order to explore t...
متن کاملAn Update on Neurotrophins
Neurotrophins are important proteins that regulate survival, development and function of neurons. They are produced by a variety of cells and exert their effects upon binding to specific tyrosine kinase receptors. The first neurotrophin to be identified was Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). From the pioneer studies performed by Rita-Levi Montalcini, awarded with the Nobel Prize, other neurotrophins ha...
متن کاملNeurotrophins induce release of neurotrophins by the regulated secretory pathway.
Recent studies have established that neurotrophin synthesis and secretion are regulated by activity and that these factors are involved in activity-dependent processes in the nervous system. Neurotrophins also are known to induce increases in intracellular calcium, a trigger for regulated secretion. This finding raises the possibility that neurotrophins themselves may stimulate regulated secret...
متن کاملThe contribution of neurotrophins to the pathogenesis of allergic asthma.
The neurotrophins nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, NT-3 (neurotrophin 3) and NT-4 are known for regulating neuron development, function and survival. Beyond this, neurotrophins were found to exert multiple effects on non-neuronal cells such as immune cells, smooth muscle and epithelial cells. In allergic asthma, airway inflammation, airway obstruction, AHR (airway hyperre...
متن کاملTrans-differentiation of the Adipose Tissue-Derived Stem Cells into Neuron-Like Cells Expressing Neurotrophins by Selegiline
Background: Adult stem cells (ASC) are undifferentiated cells found throughout the body. These cells are promising tools for cell replacement therapy in neurodegenerative disease. Adipose tissue is the most abundant and accessible source of ASC. This study was conducted to evaluate effect of selegiline on differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) into functional neuron-like cells (NL...
