Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor prevents dendritic retraction of adult mouse retinal ganglion cells
We used cultured adult mouse retinae as a model system to follow and quantify the retraction of dendrites using diolistic labelling of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) following explantation. Cell death was monitored in parallel by nuclear staining as 'labelling' with RGC and apoptotic markers was inconsistent and exceedingly difficult to quantify reliably. Nuclear staining allowed us to delineate...
متن کاملBrain-derived neurotrophic factor prevents axotomized retinal ganglion cell death through MAPK and PI3K signaling pathways.
PURPOSE Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has a potential neuroprotective effect on axotomized retinal ganglion cells (RGCs); however, the mechanism, in regard to intracellular signaling, of BDNF-induced neuroprotection of RGCs is largely unknown. Intracellular signaling was investigated, by using axotomized RGCs and the relative contribution of the two major downstream signaling routes ...
متن کاملBrain-derived neurotrophic factor differentially regulates retinal ganglion cell dendritic and axonal arborization in vivo.
Expression of the neurotrophin brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor trkB in the ganglion cell layer of the Xenopus retina during retinal ganglion cell (RGC) dendritic arborization indicates that BDNF is spatially and temporally available to influence RGC morphological differentiation (; ). BDNF promotes RGC axon arborization in vivo by acting as a target-derived trophic fac...
متن کاملBrain-derived neurotrophic factor supports the survival of cultured rat retinal ganglion cells.
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a small, basic protein purified from the mammalian brain that has been shown previously to support the survival of cultured spinal sensory neurons (Barde et al., 1982). In current studies, BDNF was tested for its ability to support the survival of cultured CNS cells isolated from the perinatal rat retina. Both immunofluorescent labeling of Thy-1 and p...
متن کاملBrain derived neurotrophic factor maintains Brn3a expression in axotomized rat retinal ganglion cells.
The transcription factor Brn3a has been reported to be a good marker for adult rat retinal ganglion cells in control and injured retinas. However, it is still unclear if Brn3a expression declines progressively by the injury itself or otherwise its expression is maintained in retinal ganglion cells that, though being injured, are still alive, as might occur when assessing neuroprotective therapi...
