Hepatocyte BDNF Acts as a Novel Immune Checkpoint to Restrain TLR4‐Mediated Acute Hepatitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies hepatocyte‐derived BDNF as an endogenous TLR4 antagonist that alleviates acute hepatitis. BDNF is downregulated in hepatocytes via REST‐mediated transcriptional repression during ALI/ALF. Mechanistically, BDNF binds to TLR4 on macrophages to suppress inflammation.

NGF, TrkA-P and neuroprotection after a hypoxic event in the developing central nervous system [PDF]

, 2018
A decrease in the concentration of oxygen in the blood and tissues (hypoxia) produces important, sometimes irreversible, damages in the central nervous system (CNS) both during development and also postnatally.

MG53 Coordinates Macrophage Polarization and Neuroimmune Coupling to Promote Corneal Nerve Regeneration via the MPEG1–MVP–STAT6 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Corneal nerve regeneration is critical to corneal wound healing processes. The current study reveals a novel role of MG53 in promoting corneal nerve regeneration after alkali induced injury. Mechanistically, MG53 enters macrophages via its receptor, MPEG1, promotes MVP K63 ubiquitination, and triggers STAT6 induced repair‐related genes expression ...

IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL EXPRESSION OF NGF/TrkA AND BDNF/TrkB IN TUMOR PARIENCHYMA AND PERIPROSTATIC ADIPOSE TISSUE, DEPENDING ON THE PATHOANATOMIC STAGE OF PROSTATE CANCER [PDF]

Journal of IMAB
Introduction: For more than 30 years, the idea of inhibiting growth factors has taken over the minds of different generations of scientists since the progression of the neoplastic process is determined by uncontrolled proliferation differentiation and ...

Ras p21 protein promotes survival and fiber outgrowth of cultured embryonic neurons [PDF]

, 1989
Although evidence obtained with the PC12 cell line has suggested a role for the ras oncogene proteins in the signal transduction of nerve growth factor-mediated fiber outgrowth, little is known about the signal transduction mechanisms involved in the ...

Cellular Localization of NGF and NGF Receptors in Aged Human Thymus

Folia Biologica, 2003
Recent evidence indicates that some thymic cells of developing and adult laboratory animals express the neurotrophin NGF and its low-affinity p75 NTR and high-affinity TrkA receptor. Less is known as to whether the thymus of adult and aged humans express these markers. We hypothesize that the

Depletion of p75NTR in Schwann Cells Driven by Inflammation Mediates Cutaneous Pain in Psoriasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Psoriasis‐like inflammation induces proliferation and molecular remodeling of cutaneous Schwann cells, marked by reduced p75NTR and increased NGF expression. IL‐17A promotes this process, whereas Schwann cell‐specific p75NTR overexpression alleviates cutaneous pain in vivo.

Dimeric dipeptide mimetics of neurotrophins as molecular tools and potential neuroprotective drugs [PDF]

Exploration of Drug Science
Proteins from the neurotrophin family perform trophic and regulatory functions in the nervous and other body systems. Understanding the mechanisms of neurotrophin action is crucial not only for the evolution of fundamental scientific knowledge but also ...
