## Abstract Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are a unique type of macroglia with axonal growthโpromoting properties. The migrating ability of OECs in CNS is essential for neural regeneration. However, little is known about the extracellular and intracellular factors that regulate OEC migration. I

## Abstract The physiological roles of glial cell lineโderived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) expressed in the microglia/macrophages of the injured spinal cord have not yet been clarified. mRNA expression of chemokines, including monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)โ1, was evoked within 1 hr after tr
## Abstract Much attention has been paid to the ability of glial cell lineโderived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) to protect neurons from neurotoxic insults in the central nervous system (CNS). However, little is known about GDNF action on CNS glia that also can express GDNF receptor systems. In this s
## Abstract The transcription factor Pitx3 is crucial for the development and differentiation of dopamine (DA) neurons. Our previous work has shown the Pitx3 can upโregulate the expression of brainโderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and glial cell lineโderived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in neurobla
Human SK-N-AS neuroblastoma and U-87MG glioblastoma cell lines were found to secrete relatively high levels of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). In response to growth factors, cytokines, and pharmacophores, the two cell lines differentially regulated GDNF release. A 24-hr exposure
