Background: Semen Cuscutae flavonoids (SCFs) constitute a class of metabolites of Semen Cuscutae, a botanical drug that was recently found to have an anti-depression effect. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-depression effects of SCFs in chronic unpredi...
BMSC gene expression profiling was completed to examine the baseline neurotrophin and receptor gene expression in BMSC and to evaulate changes in gene expression in response to NGF or BDNF stimulation In the study, primary BMSC were treated with recombinant human NGF or BDNF for 24 hours. Following...
The purpose of the study was to determine the potential role of ATF4 in gene regulation by brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). To achieve this, we compared gene regulation by BDNF in cultured rat hippocampal neurons with or without prior ATF4 knockdown with shRNA. We surveyed cultures after 0...
Patterns of gene expression in the aged entorhinal cortex and hippocampus were examined one month after entorhinal administration of BDNF lentivirus. Whole-genome patterns of expression were examined using Affymetrix arrays four weeks after entorhinal injection of lentiviral-BDNF or GFP injection co...
This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series:; GSE14499: Effect of BDNF on the APP transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease; GSE14505: Effect of BDNF on aging-related gene expression changes in young and aged rats Experiment Overall Design: Refer to individual Series
Although the Mnks have been known for >15 years, their roles in the regulation of protein synthesis have remained obscure. Here we explore how BDNF stimulates protein synthesis in cortical neurons. Using a combination of pharmacological and genetic approaches, we show that this effect depends on MEK...
XBP1 is a transcription factor that is induced by unconventional splicing associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress and plays a role in development of liver and plasma cells. We previously reported that brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) leads to splicing of XBP1 mRNA in neurites, and that ...
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is crucial for neuronal survival, differentiation, synaptic plasticity, memory formation, and neurocognitive health. Molecular mechanisms of BDNF promoting cellular survival and synaptic plasticity have been intensely studied, yet its role in genome regulatio...
