Histamine-neurotrophin-3 interactions in cultured rat astrocytes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) is produced by astrocytes, in addition to neurons, and monoamine neurotransmitters play a role in controlling NT-3 synthesis [1]. The impact of histamine on the regulation of NT-3 synthesis in cultured astrocytes has not been studied in detail. Therefore, we focused our present study on the active involvement of multiple histaminergic receptor and intracellular mechanisms in the regulation of NT-3 production by histamine.

متن کاملMonoamine neurotransmitters modulate NT-3 levels in astrocytes
Background Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), a member of the neurotrophin family of neurotrophic factors, displays profound neuromodulatory functions in the normal and in the diseased brain. Under physiological conditions, NT-3 is produced by neuronal cells and also by local glial cells. We focused our investigation on the ability of astrocytes to synthesize NT-3 and, additionally, on the active involveme...
متن کاملAstrocytes and Chronic Pain Mechanisms – the Role of Histamine, Il-1β and Ngf
In exaggerated pain states, the activated astrocytes release several signalling molecules involved in cellular mechanisms of chronic pain. Among them, nerve growth factor (NGF) and interleukin (IL)-1β are both recognized as potent algogens. We previously showed that histamine is a potent stimulator of NGF production in rat cortical astrocytes in primary culture. Since histamine and IL-1β have c...
متن کاملThe Role of Wnt Signaling Pathway on the Expression of TGFβ 1 and TGFβ 2 in Cultured Rat Cortical Astrocytes
Introduction: Astrocytes, the most abundant glia in the central nervous system, modulate neuronal survival and function. Astrocytic functions are mediated by synthesis and secretion of wide ranges of polypeptides through mechanism (s) poorly understood. Among these, TGFβs are synthesized and released by the astrocytes. In this study, the involvement of Wnt signaling pathway on the synthesi...
متن کاملThe role of nonneuronal neurotrophins in the brain
Background Neurotrophins (nerve growth factor, NGF; brain-derived neurotrophic factor, BDNF; neurotrophin-3, NT-3) are involved in various CNS functions from differentiation and neuron survival to synaptogenesis and synaptic plasticity. They are synthesized in neurons and also in nonenuronal cells (astrocytes), which therefore represent an important local source of trophic support in normal and...
