Differences in the surface binding and endocytosis of neurotrophins by p75NTR
Neurotrophins transmit signals retrogradely from synapses to cell bodies by two different types of surface receptors, p75NTR and Trks. Compared to TrkA, the function of p75NTR in nerve growth factor (NGF) endocytosis is less clear, and it is unknown whether p75NTR by itself may internalize other neurotrophins besides NGF.

Signaling of neuronal cell death by the p75NTR neurotrophin receptor
The neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) is best known for mediating tropic support by participating in the formation of high-affinity nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor complexes with trkA, however, p75NTR more recently has been shown to act as a bona fide death-signaling receptor, which can signal independently of trkA.

p75NTR signal transduction suppressed by BFAR and p75NTR interactions [PDF]
p75NTR is a low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor, which promotes cell proliferation as a positive modulator of high-affinity receptor TrkA, as well as binds with cell ligands to induce apoptosis and mediate death signals. To analyze the regulatory mechanisms of p75NTR, the present study utilized a new membrane yeast two-hybrid system to screen a ...

The role and potential mechanism of p75NTR in mineralization via in vivo p75NTR knockout mice and in vitro ectomesenchymal stem cells [PDF]
AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study is to investigate the role and potential mechanism of p75NTR in mineralization in vivo using p75NTR‐knockout mice and in vitro using ectomesenchymal stem cells (EMSCs).Materials and methodsFemur bone mass and daily incisor mineralization speed were assessed in an in vivo p75NTR‐knockout mouse model.

p75NTR: an enhancer of fenretinide toxicity in neuroblastoma [PDF]
Neuroblastoma is a common, frequently fatal, neural crest tumor of childhood. Chemotherapy-resistant neuroblastoma cells typically have Schwann cell-like ("S-type") morphology and express the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR). p75NTR has been previously shown to modulate the redox state of neural crest tumor cells.

Isolation and characterization of neural crest-like progenitor cells in human umbilical cord blood
Introduction: Neural crest (NC)-like stem/progenitor cells provide an attractive cell source for regenerative medicine because of their multipotent property and ease of isolation from adult tissue.

Genetic Dissection of Neurotrophin Signaling through the p75 Neurotrophin Receptor
Structural determinants underlying signaling specificity in the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) are poorly characterized, and it is unclear whether different signaling outputs can be genetically dissociated.

p75 Neurotrophin Receptor Suppresses the Proliferation of Human Gastric Cancer Cells
Identifying an effective therapeutic target is pivotal in the treatment of gastric cancer. In this study, we investigated the expression of p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) in gastric cancer and the impact of its alteration on tumor growth.
