Disease relevance of NGFR

 

Psychiatry related information on NGFR

 

High impact information on NGFR

  • Surprisingly, the 55 kd TNF receptor shows a high degree of sequence homology to the NGF receptor extracellular domain [7].
  • Transfection of a full-length cDNA in mouse fibroblasts results in stable expression of NGF receptors that are recognized by monoclonal antibodies to the human NGF receptor and that bind [125I]NGF [8].
  • Induction of apoptosis by the low-affinity NGF receptor [9].
  • These results suggest that the NGF receptor system enhances the activities of both the guanine nucleotide exchange factor and GAP and that the activation of Ras might be controlled by the balance in activity between these two regulatory proteins [10].
  • Neurite outgrowth was not observed with chimeric receptors that contained the transmembrane domain from the EGFR, suggesting that the membrane-spanning region and cytoplasmic domain of the low-affinity NGFR are necessary for signal transduction [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of NGFR

 

Biological context of NGFR

  • Using chromosome painting and the NGFR gene as an outside marker, we show that the U2 tandem array (RNU2) has remained at the same chromosomal locus (equivalent to human 17q21) through multiple speciation events over > 35 million years leading to the Old World monkey and hominoid lineages [17].
  • Expression of the cloned human nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) cDNA in cell lines can generate both high- and low-affinity binding sites [1].
  • The transformant line LAN5/NGFR expressed both high- and low-affinity NGFRs, displayed NGF-induced up-regulation of fos oncogene, and efficiently internalized NGF [18].
  • However, high expression levels of nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR), neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM), and cell adhesion molecule L1 (L1) were observed [19].
  • Inhibition of NGFR tyrosine phosphorylation had no effect but the src inhibitor PP1 abolished MAPK and Akt phosphorylation in all three clones [20].
 

Anatomical context of NGFR

 

Associations of NGFR with chemical compounds

  • Its action is mediated by a specific cell surface transmembrane glycoprotein, nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) [3].
  • Also, the expression of different species of NGFR could be modified by treatment with retinoic acid (RA) [25].
  • NGFR expression in invasive tumours significantly correlated with that of cytokeratins 5/6 (P<0.05), 14 (P<0.0001) and 17 (P<0.0005) and EGFR (P<0.0001) and displayed an inverse correlation with oestrogen and progesterone receptors (both, P<0.0001) [26].
  • A chimeric gene consisting of 6.7 kb of the 5'-flanking region of the human NGFR gene linked to the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene was constructed [27].
  • For 28 sets of serial examinations, NGFR was also measured by the plasma disappearance of 99mTc DTPA (measured) [28].
 

Physical interactions of NGFR

  • The number of high-affinity NGF binding sites was nearly the same for LAN5 and LAN5/NGFR, a finding suggesting that there is a limiting number of some separately coded factor or subunit that is required for high-affinity NGFRs [18].
  • Results obtained with cells transfected with the low-affinity NGF receptor gene indicate that these cells bind BDNF, in addition to NGF, whereas cells before transfection do not [29].
  • The high-affinity NGF receptor is thought to be a complex of two receptors , gp75 and the tyrosine kinase TrkA, but direct biochemical evidence for such an association had been lacking [30].
 

Co-localisations of NGFR

 

Regulatory relationships of NGFR

 

Other interactions of NGFR

  • We document the presence of RNA message for the low- (LNGFR) and the high-affinity NGF receptor (NTRK1) by using RT-PCR on fresh BM aspirate and on LTBMC [37].
  • The results demonstrate that, in addition to Grb2, CRK participates in signaling from the NGF receptor and that two GNRPs appear to transmit signals from these adaptor molecules to Ras [38].
  • Furthermore, colocalization studies show that many BDNF-expressing sensory neurons also express trk A, the high-affinity NGF receptor [39].
  • The low-affinity NGFR has been shown to have structural homology with another specific B cell surface molecule, CD40, which plays an important role in IgE production [40].
  • No differences in the number of NGF-R mRNA-positive neurons between normal aged and AD patients were detected within the NGF-responsive cell groups of the medial septum (Ch1) and nucleus of the vertical limb of the diagonal band (Ch2) [4].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of NGFR

  • METHODS: CD34+CK7/8+ cells from midgestation livers were analyzed for the expression of various markers by flow cytometry and isolated based on their expression of CD34, nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) and lack of CD45 expression [41].
  • Immunofluorescence studies here showed that NGFR are also present on a proportion of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) [42].
  • Northern blot and ligand binding/immunoprecipitation assays revealed four receptor-positive cell lines (NGP, NLF, SK-N-SH, and LA-N-6), with NGFR mRNA and protein of expected sizes (3.8 kilobases and Mr approximately 75,000, respectively) [43].
  • Southern blot analysis showed that all 10 cell lines possess apparently normal NGFR genes [43].
  • We report here on the demonstration of NGFR-like proteins from PC12 and SY5Y cells by sequential lectin chromatography, reverse-phase HPLC, and SDS-PAGE analysis of immunoprecipitates obtained with NGFR-specific monoclonal antibodies [25].
