โœฆ Synopsis

Using a quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) we have investigated the expression of the neurotrophin receptors p75NGFR, trkA, and trkB mRNAs in cultures of rat pup type I astrocytes and in the C6 rat glioma cell line. All three neurotrophin receptor mRNAs are expressed in both C6 cells and in type I astrocytic cultures. p75NGFR mRNA levels are increased by either cycloheximide or nerve growth factor (NGF) treatment of C6 cells as measured using RT-PCR. Type I astrocyte cultures also expressed p75NGFR mRNA and NGF treatment increased p75NGFR mRNA levels in these cultures. TrkB mRNA levels were increased by cycloheximide treatment of type I astrocyte cultures but not by NGF treatment. Using RT-PCR, trkA mRNA was detected in astrocytic cultures as well as in the rat C6 and PC-12 cell lines. We conclude that cultures of type I astrocytes express active NGF receptors and that glia can elicit a response to NGF as seen by an increase in p75NGFR mRNA levels following exposure to NGF.

Studies on cytochrome P450 2B (CYP2B) in the brain have essentially been focused on protein characterization and regional distribution. Due to the high sequence homology between the closely related CYP2B1 and 2B2 isoforms and the low amounts of the corresponding mRNAs few efforts have been made to a

We previously demonstrated that oxysterols inhibit the growth of experimental glioblastoma induced in the rat brain cortex. Mechanism of action of these compounds remains obscure. In this study, we investigated the effect of 7โค-hydroxycholesterol (7โค-OHCH) and 7ketocholesterol (7k-CH) on the growth

Mammalian liver exhibits expression of members of the family of multidrug resistance (mdr) transporters (P-glycoproteins). P-glycoprotein isoforms encoded by mdr1 genes participate in extrusion of an array of xenobiotics into the bile. Induction of mdr1b mRNA expression has been shown to occur in ra

Myelinogenesis in rat brain aggregate cultures is associated with a pattern of growth factor mRNA expression comparable to that of the developing brain. The rate of increase in platelet-derived growth factor-AA (PDGF-AA) expression was greatest just before the detection of myelin basic protein (MBP)
