Serum epidermal growth factor, clinical illness course, and limbic brain volumes in early-stage bipolar disorder
2020, Journal of Affective DisordersCitation Excerpt :Animal models show that peripheral EGF is transported across the blood-brain barrier in a saturable, likely receptor-mediated process (Pan and Kastin, 1999). Administration of EGF prolongs the lifespans of cortical neurons in vitro and dopaminergic neurons in vivo (Kornblum et al., 1990; Ventrella, 1993). Mice deficient in EGFRs experience hippocampal neuronal disorganization and cortical and thalamic neurodegeneration (Sibilia et al., 1998).
Controlled release of dextrin-conjugated growth factors to support growth and differentiation of neural stem cells
2018, Stem Cell ResearchCitation Excerpt :Based on these results, it is envisaged that the use of dextrin-conjugated growth factors could significantly improve the efficiency of not only stem cell maintenance and expansion (reducing the necessity for growth factor supplementation by up to 7-fold), but also could be employed clinically at inflamed sites. It is well known that EGF and bFGF are essential for the proliferation and expansion of neural stem cells (Gritti et al., 1996; Kornblum et al., 1990; Morrison et al., 1988; Morrison et al., 1987; Kojima and Tator, 2002). Recent studies have shown that sustained growth factor levels decrease spontaneous differentiation and increase proliferation, yet this is not achieved in routine stem cell maintenance, even with daily culture medium replacement (Lotz et al., 2013).
EGFR signaling upregulates surface expression of the GluN2B-containing NMDA receptor and contributes to long-term potentiation in the hippocampus
2015, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :To confirm that the immunofluorescence signals do actually represent endogenous EGFRs, we treated DIV14 cultured hippocampal neurons with recombinant EGF for 15 min and observed the changes in EGFR staining pattern. In responsive neurons (Kornblum et al., 1990), a significant increase in EGFR clusters (cluster count per 100-μm dendrite; before EGF treatment, 9.44 ± 1.63, n = 33; after EGF treatment, 32.94 ± 2.13, n = 34; P < 0.0001) was observed in dendrites upon EGF treatment (Fig. 2A), while the density of PSD95 (cluster count per 100-μm dendrite; before EGF treatment, 60.19 ± 3.06, n = 18; after EGF treatment, 58.67 ± 3.42, n = 20; P > 0.05) and gephyrin (cluster count per 100-μm dendrite; before EGF treatment, 25.52 ± 2.42, n = 15; after EGF treatment, 29.37 ± 3.48, n = 14; P > 0.05) clusters were unchanged (Fig. 2D). EGFR has been shown to dimerize with other members of the EGFR family such as ErbB4 (Riese et al., 1996; Yarden and Sliwkowski, 2001).

2003, International Journal of Developmental NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :EGF can act as a neurotrophic factor towards postmitotic neurons of the CNS (Morrison, 1993; Plata-Salamán, 1991). Furthermore, EGF can induce neuronal processes and enhance survival of cultured rat cerebellar cortical neurons (Kornblum et al., 1990; Morrison et al., 1988). PC12 cells have been used extensively to study the neurotrophic actions of NGF and FGF.
