## Abstract We investigated whether certain hydrophobic dipeptides, Leu‐Ile, Leu‐Pro, and Pro‐Ile, which partially resemble the site on FK506 that binds to immunophilin, could stimulate glial cell line‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) synthesis in cult

Neurotrophic factors are essential neurone survival promoting molecules that are often secreted and that bind to neuronal cell surface receptors. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, GDNF, is a potent neurotrophic factor that promotes the survival of dopaminergic neurones in cultures includi
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been shown to exert neurotrophic effects on motor neurons as well as mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons. Because GDNF promotes survival of motor neurons in vivo and in vitro and rescues motor neurons from naturally occurring cell death, the pote
## Abstract The transcription factor Pitx3 is crucial for the development and differentiation of dopamine (DA) neurons. Our previous work has shown the Pitx3 can up‐regulate the expression of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and glial cell line‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in neurobla
