Nogo-receptor 1 antagonization in combination with neurotrophin-4/5 is not superior to single factor treatment in promoting survival and morphological complexity of cultured dopaminergic neurons
2017, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :The findings that neurotrophic factors support neuronal survival and differentiation were rapidly implemented in strategies to improve the outcome of transplantations. Indeed, pre- or co-treatment of midbrain transplants with neurotrophin-4/5 (NT4/5), brain derived neurotrophic factor or glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) have been reported to improve functional recovery, to elevate numbers of dopaminergic neurons in the grafts and to increase the number of graft derived fibres growing into the host brain (Andereggen et al., 2009; Chaturvedi et al., 2006; Espejo et al., 2000; Haque et al., 1996; Mehta et al., 1998). In line with these observations, treatment of foetal midbrain cultures with either NT4/5 or GDNF led to an enhanced survival of dopaminergic neurons and GDNF promoted their morphological complexity (Lin et al., 1993; Meyer et al., 2001; Widmer et al., 2000).
