1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 regulates the synthesis of nerve growth factor in primary cultures of glial cells
Abstract
The effect of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2 D3) on nerve growth factor (NGF) synthesis was investigated in primary cultures of astrocytes prepared from brain of neonatal rats. 1,25-(OH)2 D3 elicited a dose-dependent increase of NGF mRNA with a maximal effect at 10(-7) M, which persisted for at least 48 h. Northern blot analysis revealed an expression of the vitamin D3 receptor (VDR) gene in primary glial cells. Treatment of cells with 1,25-(OH)2 D3 led to an increase in the VDR mRNA levels. Similar results were obtained in C6 glioma cells. Exposure of primary glial cells to 10(-8) M 1,25-(OH)2 D3 caused only a 2-fold increase of the levels of cell-secreted NGF after 3 days of treatment. However, a 5-fold increase was observed three days after a second addition of vitamin D3. Likewise, a pretreatment with lower doses of hormone such as 10(-10) M or 10(-9) M enhanced the responsiveness of the cells to a 24 h treatment with 10(-8) M hormone. It appears, therefore, that the duration of the treatment influences the level of synthesis of NGF, possibly as a consequence of the increase of the VDR gene expression. The specificity of 1,25-(OH)2 D3 is supported by the fact that a concentration of 10(-7) M of an another vitamin D3 metabolite, 24,25-(OH)2 D3, had no effect on NGF synthesis. Several lines of evidence indicate that astrocytes constitute the major cell type responsive to 1,25-(OH)2 D3 in primary cultures of glial cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

“Vitamin D analogues have been shown to upregulate NGF in cultured glial cell and embryonic hippocampal cells [177,178], to decrease the percentage of cultured hippocampal cells undergoing mitosis [178], and to decrease BDNF and concommitantly to improve memory in postmenopausal women [179].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
