Nerve Growth Factor and Autoimmune Diseases [PDF]

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023
NGF plays a crucial immunomodulatory role and increased levels are found in numerous tissues during autoimmune states. NGF directly modulates innate and adaptive immune responses of B and T cells and causes the release of neuropeptides and ...

Nerve Growth Factor and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in COVID-19 [PDF]

Biology
Neurotrophins (NTs) constitute a family of small protein messengers that play a fundamental role in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. In particular, the nerve growth factor (NGF) and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) play a ...

Multifaceted Roles of Nerve Growth Factor: A Comprehensive Review with a Special Insight into Pediatric Perspectives [PDF]

Biology
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a neurotrophic peptide largely revealed for its ability to regulate the growth and survival of peripheral sensory, sympathetic, and central cholinergic neurons.

Ceramide from sphingomyelin hydrolysis induces neuronal differentiation, whereas de novo ceramide synthesis and sphingomyelin hydrolysis initiate apoptosis after NGF withdrawal in PC12 Cells

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2022
Plain English summary Ceramide and sphingomyelin reportedly are important both for differentiation of nerve cells and for their death. We studied PC12 cells, which can differentiate into neuron-like cells in the presence of nerve growth factor and cells ...

Topical delivery of nerve growth factor for treatment of ocular and brain disorders

Neural Regeneration Research, 2021
Neurotrophins are a family of proteins that support neuronal proliferation, survival, and differentiation in the central and peripheral nervous systems, and are regulators of neuronal plasticity.

Exposure to nerve growth factor worsens nephrotoxic effect induced by Cyclosporine A in HK-2 cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Nerve growth factor is a neurotrophin that promotes cell growth, differentiation, survival and death through two different receptors: TrkA(NTR) and p75(NTR).

Nerve Growth Factor Compromise in Down Syndrome

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2021
The basal forebrain cholinergic system relies on trophic support by nerve growth factor (NGF) to maintain its phenotype and function. In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), basal forebrain cholinergic neurons (BFCNs) undergo progressive atrophy, suggesting a ...

Nerve growth factor and post-infarction cardiac remodeling

Acta Biomedica Scientifica, 2022
The prevalence of sudden death from chronic heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias caused by myocardial infarction is a complex problem in cardiology. Post-infarction cardiac remodeling occurs after myocardial infarction.

Nerve Growth Factor Suppresses Prostate Tumor Growth

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
Nerve growth factor (NGF) facilitates reinnervation of perivascular nerves that regulate vascular tone and blood flow. This study investigated whether NGF prevents tumor growth by promoting neuronal regulation of tumor blood flow.
