Regulation of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) Synthesis in the Rat Central Nervous System: Comparison between the Effects of Interleukin-1 and Various Growth Factors in Astrocyte Cultures and in vivo.

TL;DR: The understanding of the physiological regulation of NGF synthesis in the CNS is the basis for a rational approach to its pharmacological modification and is an attractive alternative to the (long‐term) infusion ofNGF or the transplantation of N GF‐secreting cells with the goal of providing trophic support to the cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain nuclei.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor protects against ischemic cell damage in rat hippocampus

TL;DR: In situ hybridization experiments suggest the neuroprotective action of brain-derived neurotrophic factor to be mediated via trkB – receptors in the hippocampus and a therapeutic potential for the treatment of cerebral ischemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lesion-induced increase in nerve growth factor mRNA is mediated by c-fos.

TL;DR: Evidence for a causal relationship between c-fos induction and the subsequent increase in NGF mRNA was obtained in cotransfection experiments and DNase I footprint experiments demonstrated that a binding site for transcription factor AP-1 (Fos/Jun heterodimer) in the first intron of the NGF gene was protected following c- fos induction.
Journal ArticleDOI

The induction of LTP increases BDNF and NGF mRNA but decreases NT-3 mRNA in the dentate gyrus.

TL;DR: The results suggest that individual neurotrophic factors may play different roles in neuronal plasticity.
