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.

The pharmacological perturbation of brain zinc impairs BDNF-related signaling and the cognitive performances of young mice. [PDF]
Zinc (Zn2+) is a pleiotropic modulator of the neuronal and brain activity. The disruption of intraneuronal Zn2+ levels triggers neurotoxic processes and affects neuronal functioning.

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.

Developmental axon pruning mediated by BDNF-p75NTR–dependent axon degeneration [PDF]
The mechanisms that regulate the pruning of mammalian axons are just now being elucidated. Here, we describe a mechanism by which, during developmental sympathetic axon competition, winning axons secrete brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in an ...

The coordinated movement of organisms relies on efficient nerve-muscle communication at the neuromuscular junction. After peripheral nerve injury or neurodegeneration, motor neurons and Schwann cells increase the expression of the p75NTR pan-neurotrophin

NADE, a p75NTR-associated Cell Death Executor, Is Involved in Signal Transduction Mediated by the Common Neurotrophin Receptor p75NTR [PDF]
The low affinity neurotrophin receptor p75NTR can mediate cell survival as well as cell death of neural cells by NGF and other neurotrophins. To elucidate p75NTR-mediated signal transduction, we screened p75NTR-associated proteins by a yeast two-hybrid system.

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.

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.

Trophic and neurotrophic factors in human pituitary adenomas (Review) [PDF]
The pituitary gland is an organ that functionally connects the hypothalamus with the peripheral organs. The pituitary gland is an important regulator of body homeostasis during development, stress, and other processes.
