The neurotrophins and their receptors
Trends in Cell Biology, 1993The neurotrophins, which include nerve growth factor (NGF) and its relatives, were discovered and characterized for their distinctive ability to promote survival and differentiation of postmitotic neurons. Perhaps surprisingly, the neurotrophins have recently been found to utilize a family of receptor tyrosine kinases (the Trks) similar to those used ...

Neurotrophin signaling through the p75 neurotrophin receptor
Progress in Neurobiology, 2002The neurotrophins are growth factors that play critical roles in the development, maintenance, survival, and death of the nervous system. The signal transducing systems that mediate the diverse biological functions of the neurotrophins are initiated by their interactions with two categories of cell surface receptors, the Trk family of tyrosine kinases ...

Neurotrophins and neurotrophin receptors in allergic asthma
2004The neurotrophins nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) and NT-4 play a pivotal role in the development of the nervous system. Despite their well-known effects on neurons, elevated neurotrophin concentrations have been observed under pathological conditions in sera of patients with inflammatory disorders ...

Functional Interactions of Neurotrophins and Neurotrophin Receptors
Annual Review of Neuroscience, 1995Hypothesis Programmed neuronal cell death is a prominent feature of vertebrate embryonic development. Timing and extent of cell death are dependent on the influence of the targets those neurons innervate, The number of neurons in the adult nervous system and the density of innervation of their targets are determined by a competitive process in which ...

Neurotrophins and Neurotrophin Receptors in Human Lung Cancer
American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology, 2001The expression of neurotrophins (NTs) and related high- and low-affinity receptors was studied in surgical samples of histologically diagnosed human tumors of the lower respiratory tract. The experiment was conducted with 30 non-small cell lung cancer specimens and in eight small cell lung cancer specimens by Western blot analysis and ...

Neurotrophin and Neurotrophin Receptors in Islet Cells
Hormone and Metabolic Research, 1997A large number of proteins are found specifically in insulin-producing cells and in neuronal cells. The function of neurotrophins in beta cells and the molecular mechanism leading to their expression include the expression of functional receptors for different neurotrophins.

Neurotrophins (NTs) have been implicated in generation and modulation of nociceptive pathways. Change in NTs levels is associated with painful conditions and neurological diseases such as migraine. Currently, it is generally recognized that migraine headaches result from the activation and sensitization of trigeminal sensory afferent fibers leading to ...

Progress in Neurobiology, 1994
The neurotrophins are members of a family of four related proteins that allow the survival and differentiation of specific sub-sets of embryonic vertebrate neurons. On neurons, two types of neurotrophin receptors can be distinguished on the basis of their dissociation constants: low affinity receptors (Kd 10(-9) M) and high affinity receptors (Kd 10 ...

Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 1999
Exogenous delivery of the neurotrophic factors, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) or neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), promotes the function, sprouting and regrowth of 5-HT-containing neurones in the brains of adult rats. Similar infusions of BDNF into the dorsal raphe nucleus produce an antidepressant effect, as evaluated by several 'learned helplessness'

Alterations in neurotrophins and neurotrophin receptors in Alzheimer’s disease
2000We demonstrated that nerve growth factor (NGF) levels were increased in hippocampus and cortical areas, as well as in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Such increases may, at least in part, be due to a decreased expression of the NGF high affinity receptor trkA.
