Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a pluripotent mediator that is present in a range of human tissues. Nerve growth factor was originally considered important only in neuronal homeostasis and pathophysiology, but later it was also implicated in the pathophysiology of inflammation, epithelial differentiation, and wound healing. In this study, the distribution

Nerve growth factor and nerve growth factor receptors in respiratory syncytial virus-infected lungs
American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2002Nerve growth factor (NGF) controls sensorineural development and responsiveness and modulates immunoinflammatory reactions. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) potentiates the proinflammatory effects of sensory nerves in rat airways by upregulating the substance P receptor, neurokinin 1 (NK1).

Effect of retinoic acid on nerve growth factor receptors [PDF]
Cell and Tissue Research, 1987 Retinoic acid (RA), a naturally occurring metabolite of vitamin A, increased the number of receptors for nerve growth factor (NGF) in cultured human neuroblastoma cells (LA-N-1), as indicated by an immunofluorescence assay of cell surface receptors and by specific binding of 125I-NGF to solubilized receptors. Analysis of 125I-NGF binding showed that RA

Nerve growth factor: two receptors, multiple functions
BioEssays, 1998Nerve growth factor (NGF) was characterized over 4 decades ago, and like the other neurotrophins subsequently discovered, it is best known for its trophic role, including the prevention of programmed cell death in specific populations of neurones in the peripheral nervous system. This property can be accounted for by the activation of a tyrosine kinase

Regulation of the Synthesis of Nerve Growth Factor and Nerve Growth Factor Receptor
1988The importance of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) for the development and the maintenance of differentiated properties of peripheral sympathetic and neural crest- derived sensory neurons as well as for basal forebrain cholinergic neurons is well established (cf Levi-Montalcini & Angeletti, 1968; Greene & Shooter, 1980; Thoenen & Barde, 1980; Thoenen et al ...

Nerve Growth Factor Receptors and Signaling in Breast Cancer
Current Cancer Drug Targets, 2004Nerve growth factor (NGF) has long been known for its effects on neuronal cell survival and differentiation. This prototypical neurotrophic factor stimulates neurons through two distinct classes of membrane receptors: the TrkA tyrosine kinase receptor, and the tumor necrosis factor receptor family member p75NTR, also known as the common neurotrophin ...

Epidermal growth factor receptor ≠ nerve growth factor
Neurobiology of Aging, 1989I am perplexed by the authors' complete lack of definition of neurotrophic factors. The agents Butcher and Woolf want to blame are neurite promoting factors, not neurotrophic factors. Treatment of Alzheimer's disease with NGF antagonists might instead exacerbate the death of both basal forebrain neurons and their cortical target neurons, accelerating ...

The nerve growth factor/tumor necrosis factor receptor family
Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 1996Abstract Receptors in the nerve growth factor/tumor necrosis factor receptor family are characterized by the presence of cysteine-rich motifs of ~40 amino acids in the extracellular domain. The ligands are type II transmembrane proteins with β-strands that form a jelly-roll β-sandwich.

Tissue Localization of Nerve Growth Factor and Nerve Growth Factor Receptors
1991The pioneering investigations of Levi-Montalcini and coworkers established that nerve growth factor (NGF) is an important physiological regulator of neurons of the peripheral nervous system. No doubt in part because of the dramatic and specific effects on the sympathetic and sensory nervous system resulting from immunochemically depriving rodents of ...

Nerve growth factor and its receptors in asthma and inflammation
European Journal of Pharmacology, 2004Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a high molecular weight peptide that belongs to the neurotrophin family. It is synthesized by various structural and inflammatory cells and activates two types of receptors, the TrkA (tropomyosin-receptor kinase A) receptor and the p75(NTR) receptor, in the death receptor family. NGF was first studied for its essential role
