The Effects of Progesterone on Glial Cell Line-derived Neurotrophic Factor Secretion from C6 Glioma Cells
Objective(s)Progesterone is a steroid hormone whose biology has been greatly studied within the confines of reproductive function. In recent years, the neuroprotective effects of progesterone have attracted growing interest. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), is a neurotrophic factor which plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of distinct sets of central and p...
متن کاملAlginate-matrigel microencapsulated schwann cells for inducible secretion of glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor.
Controlled expression of glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor (Gdnf) can be integrated in the development of a system for repair of injured peripheral nerves. This delivery strategy was demonstrated via inducible Gdnf from microencapsulated cells in barium alginate. The Schwann cell line RT4-D6P2T was initially modified utilizing an ecdysone-based stable transfection system to produce RT...
متن کاملSustained release of bioactive glycosylated glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor from biodegradable polymeric microspheres.
Glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), a potent neurotrophic factor for dopaminergic neurons, appeared as a promising candidate for treating Parkinson's disease. GDNF microencapsulation could ensure protection against degradation due to the fragile nature of the protein. Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microparticles loaded with recombinant glycosylated GDNF obtained in a mammali...
متن کاملRapid axoglial signaling mediated by neuregulin and neurotrophic factors.
During peripheral nervous system development, Schwann cells are precisely matched to the axons that they support. This is mediated by axonal neuregulins that are essential for Schwann cell survival and differentiation. Here, we show that sensory and motor axons rapidly release heparin-binding forms of neuregulin in response to Schwann cell-derived neurotrophic factors in a dose-dependent manner...
متن کاملA glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor delivery system enhances nerve regeneration across acellular nerve allografts.
UNLABELLED Acellular nerve allografts (ANAs) are used clinically to bridge nerve gaps but these grafts, lacking Schwann cells and therapeutic levels of neurotrophic factors, do not support regeneration to the same extent as autografts. Here we investigated a local drug delivery system (DDS) for glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) controlled release to implanted ANAs in rats using...
