Neurotrophins and Neurotrophin Receptors in Human Pulmonary Arteries
Journal of Vascular Research, 2000The localization of neurotrophins (NTs) and NT receptors was analyzed in sections of human extra- and intrapulmonary arteries by Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. In extrapulmonary branches of human pulmonary artery, NT and NT receptor immunoreactivity was located in the tunica intima, within endothelium, in the tunica media, within ...

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 ...

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1994
The neurotrophins act through their signalling competent trk tyrosine kinase receptors (trkA, trkB and trkC), and, in addition, they share a common low-affinity receptor, p75. Acting alone, trk kinases can mediate neurotrophin action, including survival, fiber outgrowth, differentiation and proliferation.

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 ...

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.

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2001
The neurotrophins are a family of peptides that promote survival, growth, and differentiation of neurons. Neurotrophins may also influence the function of nonneuronal cell types, including immune cells. The development and maintenance of asthma is thought to involve the nervous system and the immune system, but the role that neurotrophins play in ...

Neurotrophins and schizophrenia
Schizophrenia Research, 2007Neurotrophins have established roles in neuronal development, synaptogenesis, and response to stress/anxious stimuli. Moreover, these agents are neuromodulators of monoaminergic, GABAergic, and cholinergic systems. Amidst a growing appreciation of the developmental neurobiology of schizophrenia--as well as the propensity for progressive brain changes ...

Neurotrophins and neurodegeneration
Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, 2003There is growing evidence that reduced neurotrophic support is a significant factor in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this review we discuss the structure and functions of neurotrophins such as nerve growth factor, and the role of ...

Autonomic Neuroscience, 2010
The aim of this review is to report recent findings and ongoing studies on the effects of acupuncture on endogenous biological mediators, in particular on neurotrophins such as nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Acupuncture is a therapeutic technique and is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
