Axonal regulation of myelination by neuregulin 1.
Neuregulins comprise a family of epidermal growth factor-like ligands that interact with ErbB receptor tyrosine kinases to control many aspects of neural development. One of the most dramatic effects of neuregulin-1 is on glial cell differentiation. The membrane-bound neuregulin-1 type III isoform is an axonal ligand for glial ErbB receptors that regulates the early Schwann cell lineage, includ...
متن کاملRegulation of neuregulin expression in the injured rat brain and cultured astrocytes.
In this report, we investigated whether reactive astrocytes produce neuregulins (glial growth factor 2/heregulin/acetylcholine receptor-inducing activity or neu differentiation factor) and its putative receptors, ErbB2 and ErbB3 tyrosine kinases, in the injured CNS in vivo. Significant immunoreactivities with anti-neuregulin, anti-ErbB2, and anti-ErbB3 antibodies were detected on astrocytes at ...
متن کاملDifferential regulation of glucose transporter expression by estrogen and progesterone in Ishikawa endometrial cancer cells.
Estrogen replacement therapy and other unopposed estrogen treatments increase the incidence of endometrial abnormalities, including cancer. However, this effect is counteracted by the co-administration of progesterone. In the endometrium, glucose transporter (GLUT) expression and glucose transport are known to fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle. Here, we determined the effect of estrogen ...
متن کاملDifferential regulation of endothelium behavior by progesterone and medroxyprogesterone acetate.
Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is a synthetic progestin commonly used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The aim of this research was to study and compare the effect of progesterone (Pg) and MPA on the regulation of cellular events associated with vascular homeostasis and disease. Platelet adhesion to endothelial cells (ECs), nitric oxide (NO) production, and cell migration were studied u...
متن کاملExpression of preproenkephalin mRNA by cultured astrocytes and neurons.
Expression of preproenkephalin mRNA by developing glia and neurons was examined in cultures of embryonic and neonatal rat brain. Cultured glia from specific regions of embryonic day 17 and neonatal day 1 rat brain were identified as astrocytes on the basis of both morphology and expression of immunoreactivity for glial fibrillary acidic protein. The level of preproenkephalin mRNA in cultured ne...
