The effects of endothelins (ETs) on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) production in astrocytes were investigated. ET-1 (100 nM) increased the mRNA level and extracellular release of BDNF in cultured astrocytes. RT-PCR analyses using primer pairs that amplified exon-specific BDNF transcripts r
Some of the aquaporins (AQPs), a family of water channel proteins, are expressed in astrocytes. The expression of astrocytic AQPs is altered after brain insults, such as ischemia and head trauma. However, little is known about the regulation of AQP expressions. Endothelins (ETs), which are vasoconst
