Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of neurodegenerative dementia that affects the elderly population. Nerve growth factor (NGF) contributes to the survival, regeneration and death of neurons during aging and in neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, research has shown that NGF is related to the pathology, mechanisms and symptoms of AD. Therefore, there is a need to summarize the new advancements in NGF research and its potential therapeutic implications in AD. In this review, we will focus on NGF distribution, production, and function; the interaction of Aβ and NGF; and the effect of different therapy methods on AD. In summary, we hope to describe the experimental and clinical data demonstrating the important roles of NGF for AD treatment. 相似文献

Increasing interest has recently been attracted towards the identification of natural compounds including those with antidepressant
properties. Curcumin has shown promising antidepressant effect, however, its molecular target(s) have not been well defined.
Based on the interaction between the neurotrophins and endocannabinoid system as well as their contribution to the emotional
reactivity and antidepressant action, here we show that 4-week treatment with curcumin, similar to the classical antidepressant
amitriptyline, results in the sustained elevation of brain nerve growth factor (NGF) and endocannabinoids in dose-dependent
and brain region-specific fashion. Pretreatment with cannabinoid CB1 receptor neutral antagonist AM4113, but not the CB2 antagonist SR144528, prevents the enhancement of brain NGF contents. AM4113 exerts no effect by itself. Our findings by presenting
the CB1 receptor-mediated endocannabinoid signaling and NGF as novel targets for curcumin, suggest that more attention should be
focused on the therapeutic potential of herbal medicines including curcumin. 相似文献

Intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (CYP) causes hemorrhagic cystitis with excess growth of muscular layer leading to bladder hypertrophy; this could be attributable to changes in the expression profiles of growth factors in the inflamed urinary bladder. The growth factors characterized in the current study include nerve growth factor (NGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1. We found that following CYP injection for 8 h and 48 h, the mRNA levels of all three factors were increased in the inflamed bladder when compared to control. The level of NGF mRNA was mainly increased in the urothelium layer while the levels of IGF-1 mRNA and TGF-β1 mRNA were increased in the smooth muscle layer. The level of NGF high affinity receptor TrkA mRNA was also increased in both the urothelium and the smooth muscle layers during bladder inflammation. When we blocked NGF action with NGF neutralizing antibody in vivo, we found that the up-regulation of IGF-1 in the inflamed bladder was reversed while the up-regulation of TGF-β1 was not affected by NGF neutralization. The effect of NGF on regulating IGF-1 expression was further confirmed in bladder smooth muscle culture showing that exogenous NGF increased the mRNA level of IGF-1 after 30 min to 1 h stimulation. These results suggested that bladder inflammation induced region-specific changes in the expression profiles of NGF, IGF-1 and TGF-β1. The up-regulation of NGF in the urothelium may have a role in affecting bladder smooth muscle cell physiology by regulating IGF-1 expression. 相似文献

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is synthesized in cutaneous wound tissue, and its higher levels in the neonate may contribute to more efficient wound healing. We used in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry to define NGF mRNA and protein expression in intact skin and following excision wounding in neonatal and adult rats. To determine whether NGF is associated with wound contractile fibroblasts (myofibroblasts), we also examined expression of !-smooth muscle actin (!-SMA) mRNA and protein, established markers for these cells. In intact skin, NGF mRNA and protein were present in vascular and arrector pili smooth muscle, hair follicle sheath cells, keratinocytes, and hypodermal fibroblasts. Neonatal adipocytes and Schwann cells also expressed NGF mRNA and protein, while adult adipocytes and Schwann cells displayed only NGF-ir. Following wounding, NGF mRNA expression was exuberant in these cell types, and increased similarly at both ages and appeared de novo in skeletal muscle cells. Additionally, both NGF mRNA and protein were present in macrophages and myofibroblasts, and expression in myofibroblasts was significantly greater in neonates. Wound myofibroblasts also expressed !-SMA. Surprisingly, after wounding !-SMA mRNA and protein were present in essentially all cells in which NGF mRNA was detected. We conclude that NGF expression is enhanced in many cell types after wounding, but greater NGF synthesis in neonates appears to be due to a more robust myofibroblast response. In addition, cell types which demonstrated NGF mRNA also expressed !-SMA, and staining for both markers increased following wounding, suggesting synthesis of both proteins is regulated in a coordinated fashion. 相似文献

Summary Neuroblastomas are neural crest-derived tumors that contain neuronal, melanocyte, and Schwann cell precursors. We examined
the effects of treatment with γ-interferon (γ-IFN) and nerve growth factor (NGF), alone, and in combination, on these progenitor
subpopulations in the human neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY5Y. Using fluorescence-activated flow cytometry (FACS), changes
in expression of three differentiation-specific or-associated marker proteins, the 200 kD neurofilament protein, the myelin
basic protein, and the S-100 protein, were analyzed. Growth rates and morphological changes associated with each treatment
over the 2-wk incubation period were noted. The greatest effects were observed with combined IFN +NGF treatment. These were
significant increases in expression of all three proteins distinctive morphological signs of differentiation, and extensive
inhibition of proliferation compared to control cultures. Treatment with NGF alone resulted in increased neurofilament protein
expression and in the length and number of neurite extensions, but there was no effect on the growth rate. IFN induced striking
morphological changes, significant inhibition of growth, and changes in protein expression that correlated with neuronal to
non-neuronal subpopulation shifts due to the death of differentiated cells. When treatment was discontinued after 15 d, the
morphological changes induced by NGF were reversed within 2–3 d, while those induced by IFN±NGF were present up to 4 wk post-treatment.
Small, neuroblastic colonies were observed throughout the treatment period and within 4–6 wk after the cessation of treatment
this cell-type fully reconstituted the cultures suggesting the presence of a stem cell. Our results indicate that treatment
with γ-IFN±NGF can regulate growth and induce, either stem cells or progenitor neuronal, Schwann and melanocyte subpopulations
in the SH-SY5Y cell line to irreversibly differentiate. 相似文献
