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

Perineural invasion is a prominent clinical feature of pancreatic cancer which causes difficulty in curative resection. In the present study, the human pancreatic cancer cell lines, PaCa-2, AsPC-1, SW1990 and Capan-2, were all found to express abundant c-ret proto-oncogene mRNA and RET protein, a me
We compared the effects of glial cell 3 did not promote any detectable level of neuronal line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) on dorsal survival despite the fact that they underwent retroroot ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons to that of nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic grade tra
Adult rat retinal ganglion cells (RGC) undergo degeneration after optic nerve transection. Studies have shown that exogenously applied neurotrophic factors such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) can attenuate axotomy-induced as well as developmental RGC death. Here, we examined whether gli
## Abstract Sphingosine 1βphosphate (S1P) is a plateletβderived bioactive sphingolipid that evokes a variety of biological responses. To understand the role of S1P in the central nervous system, we have examined the effect of S1P on the production of glial cell lineβderived neurotrophic factor (GDN
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) plays several important roles in the survival and recovery of mature neurons during ischemia. We examined the possibility that the expression of GDNF mRNA and the release of GDNF protein are regulated differentially in cultured astrocytes from the s
