Neurotrophic Factors: Neurotrophin autocrine loops
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.
متن کاملExpression of brain-derived neurotrophic factors, neurotrophin-3, and neurotrophin-4 in the nucleus accumbens during heroin dependency and withdrawal
Neurotrophins, brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and neurotrophin-4 (NT-4), have been implicated in the modulation of heroin dependency. This study was designed to explore the expression alterations of BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4 in the context of heroin dependence and withdrawal in the rat nucleus accumbens (NAc). Heroin dependence was induced by a progressive intraper...
متن کاملp75 Neurotrophin Receptor in the Skin: Beyond Its Neurotrophic Function
p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR), also known as CD271, is the low-affinity receptor that, together with the tyrosine kinase receptor tropomyosin-receptor kinase (Trk), mediate neurotrophin (NT) functions. Beside their classic role in skin innervation, NT and their receptors constitute a complex cutaneous network associated with a number of autocrine and paracrine activities. In this context, ...
متن کاملBrain-derived neurotrophic factor and neurotrophin 3 in schizophrenic psychoses.
Disturbed neural development has been postulated as a crucial factor in the pathophysiology of schizophrenic psychoses. The neurobiochemical basis for such changes of cytoarchitecture and changed neural plasticity could involve an alteration in the regulation of neurotrophic factors. In order to test this hypothesis, BDNF and NT-3 levels in post-mortem brain tissue from schizophrenic patients w...
متن کاملReal-time quantitative measurement of autocrine ligand binding indicates that autocrine loops are spatially localized.
Autocrine ligands are important regulators of many normal tissues and have been implicated in a number of disease states, including cancer. However, because by definition autocrine ligands are synthesized, secreted, and bound to cell receptors within an intrinsically self-contained "loop," standard pharmacological approaches cannot be used to investigate relationships between ligand/receptor bi...
