Neurotrophic Factors: Neurotrophin autocrine loops
نویسندگان
چکیده
Developing neurons depend on neurotrophins supplied by the tissues they innervate. Before and after this period of target-dependent survival, brain-derived neurotrophic factor also has autocrine actions on some neurons.

Mitogenic effects of neutrophins on a periodontal ligament cell line.
Nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) are three representative neurotrophins responsible for the differentiation and survival of neurons, and their high-affinity receptors are tropomyosin-receptor-kinase (TRK)A, TRKB, and TRKC, respectively. In this study, we investigated the expression of neurotrophins in a mouse periodontal ligament cel...
متن کاملActivation of TRKB receptor in murine hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells induced mastocytosis.
Dysregulation of tropomyosin-related kinase (TRK) receptors has been reported to be involved in many human diseases, including cancer and neurological diseases. Recently, Peng et al demonstrated that patients with mastocytosis had enhanced neurotrophin levels and elevated expression of TRK receptors on skin and gut mast cells, suggesting that TRK signaling might contribute to the pathogenesis o...
متن کاملEach sensory nerve arising from the geniculate ganglion expresses a unique fingerprint of neurotrophin and neurotrophin receptor genes.
Neurons in the geniculate ganglion, like those in other sensory ganglia, are dependent on neurotrophins for survival. Most geniculate ganglion neurons innervate taste buds in two regions of the tongue and two regions of the palate; the rest are cutaneous nerves to the skin of the ear. We investigated the expression of four neurotrophins, nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic fac...
متن کاملMultiple distinct signal pathways, including an autocrine neurotrophic mechanism, contribute to the survival-promoting effect of depolarization on spiral ganglion neurons in vitro.
We have shown previously that BDNF, neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), chlorphenylthio-cAMP (cpt-cAMP) (a permeant cAMP analog), and membrane depolarization promote spiral ganglion neuron (SGN) survival in vitro in an additive manner, depolarization having the greatest efficacy. Expression of both BDNF and of NT-3 is detectable in cultured SGNs after plating in either depolarizing or nondepolarizing medium...
متن کاملK252a inhibits proliferation of glioma cells by blocking platelet-derived growth factor signal transduction.
Growth factors are known to regulate glioma proliferation. The glioma cell lines U87 and T98G were examined for evidence of an autocrine stimulatory loop involving the neurotrophin family of growth factors. Although neurotrophin-3 and TrkC RNA were detected by reverse transcription-PCR, there was no evidence of significant interaction between neurotrophin-3 and its cognate receptor TrkC. The mi...
