Disease relevance of BDNF

 

High impact information on BDNF

 

Biological context of BDNF

  • Results show that isolation rearing reduces hippocampal cell proliferation, likely by reducing BDNF expression and hampers migration of the new neurons to the granule cell layer, likely by altering density/morphology of radial glia cells [11].
  • In the hippocampus, CA2, CA3, and hilar, neurons demonstrated both BDNF- and TrkB-IR during development and maturation, whereas CA1 neurons showed TrkB-IR throughout this period but only transient BDNF-IR in early gestation [12].
  • Coincident elevation at 3 and 7 days of BDNF or NT-3 and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 2 (ERK2-P) suggested a relationship to stimulated signal transduction activity [1].
  • This experiment investigated the effect of a single intravenous (i.v.) injection of the synthetic glucocorticoid, dexamethasone (Dex, 5 mg kg(-1)) on gene expression for MR s, GR s, BDNF, trkB, and selected ionotropic glutamate receptor subunits (iGluRs), in the porcine hippocampus [13].
  • Down-regulation of BDNF mRNA, with no effect on trkB or glucocorticoid receptor m RNAs, in the porcine hippocampus after acute dexamethasone treatment [13].
 

Anatomical context of BDNF

  • Regulation of NT-3 and BDNF levels in guinea pig auditory brain stem nuclei after unilateral cochlear ablation [1].
  • The developmental increase in BDNF- and TrkB-IR in the neuropil of both structures coincided with periods of significant growth in all strata, indicating a role for BDNF and TrkB in process outgrowth [12].
  • In the postnatal period, BDNF-IR was down-regulated but TrkB-IR persisted, indicating that mature Purkinje cells might retain their responsiveness to BDNF [12].
  • BDNF levels were elevated transiently by 50% on the ablated side in the anteroventral (AVCN) and posteroventral (PVCN) cochlear nucleus at 3 days and may have signaled support for the survival of deafferented neurons [1].
  • BDNF had no protective effect on hair cells at 15 and 60 days, but some at 30 days [14].
 

Associations of BDNF with chemical compounds

  • This study suggests that NT-3 and BDNF may protect against cochlear hair cell damage caused by kanamycin treatment [14].
  • In contrast, a radical scavenger, D-methionine, or the neurotrophin BDNF suppressed the production of ROS, in turn stimulating NO production [15].
  • The peristaltic reflex induced by short-chain fatty acids is mediated by sequential release of 5-HT and neuronal CGRP but not BDNF [16].
  • The objective was to determine whether chronic glucocorticoid treatment would alter the expression of mRNAs for gluco- and mineralocorticoid receptors (GR and MR), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), its receptor, trkB, and selected ionotropic glutamate receptor (iGluR) subunits in the hippocampus [17].
  • This result indicates that BDNF provides effective protection against inner ear damage and that biodegradable hydrogel is useful for application of drugs to the inner ear [18].
