A radiolabeled drug tracing method to study neurotrophin-3 retention and distribution in the cochlea after nano-based local delivery

open access: yesMethodsX, 2020
Hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit worldwide with no approved therapeutics for treatment. Local neurotrophin delivery into the cochlea has shown great potential in protecting and repairing the sensory cells important for hearing.

Neurotrophin‐3 targets the translational initiation machinery in oligodendrocytes [PDF]

open access: yesGlia, 2009
AbstractNeurotrophin‐3 (NT‐3) regulates oligodendrocyte (OLG) differentiation by mechanisms that remain poorly understood. Exposure of OLGs to NT‐3 induces a significant increase in the levels of myelin basic protein (MBP). However, we found that this stimulation occurs in the absence of measurable effects on MBP gene promoter activation or mRNA ...

Extraocular Motor System Exhibits a Higher Expression of Neurotrophins When Compared with Other Brainstem Motor Systems

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2017
Extraocular motoneurons resist degeneration in diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The main objective of the present work was to characterize the presence of neurotrophins in extraocular motoneurons and muscles of the adult rat.

Neurotrophin-3 is increased in skin in human diabetic neuropathy [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1998
Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), a member of the neurotrophin family, has been shown to be necessary for the development of muscle spindle and Merkel cell afferent nerve fibres in animal models. The presence of NT-3 in the suprabasal epidermis, where many unmyelinated sensory fibres terminate, has been shown for the first time.

Correlation Between Irisin and Cognitive Functions in Alzheimer Dementia

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The myokine irisin, a recent positive mediator of exercise in the brain, shows neuroprotective functions against Alzheimer's disease (AD). The association between irisin and cognition has never been explored in a biologically defined cohort of patients.

Neurotrophin-3 Promotes Cell Death Induced in Cerebral Ischemia, Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation, and Oxidative Stress: Possible Involvement of Oxygen Free Radicals

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2002
To explore the role of neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) during cerebral ischemia, NT-3-deficient brains were subjected to transient focal ischemia. Conditional mutant brains produced undetectable amounts of NT-3 mRNA, whereas the expression of the neurotrophin ...

A Novel Brain Penetrable Nanocarrier Delivers Brain‐Derived Neurotrophic Factor to Treat Alzheimer's Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A novel blood‐brain barrier‐penetrating terpolymer nanoparticle to deliver brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is designed. The BDNF‐TPN significantly enhances BDNF accumulation in the brain following intravenous injection, reduces apoptosis and neuroinflammation, thus promoting neuronal survival and ...

Adipose tissue-derived neurotrophic factor 3 regulates sympathetic innervation and thermogenesis in adipose tissue

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Activation of brown adipose tissue thermogenesis increases energy expenditure and promotes weight loss in mice. Here the authors identify neurotrophic factor neurotrophin 3 (NT-3) as an adipokine that regulates sympathetic nervous system growth and ...
