Fading memories in aging and neurodegeneration: Is p75 neurotrophin receptor a culprit?
2022, Ageing Research ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a late-onset progressively paralyzing neurodegenerative disease, which is fatal and characterized by motor neuron degeneration in several regions of the nervous system including the cerebral cortex, brain stem and spinal cord (Rowland and Shneider, 2001; Copray et al., 2003). A higher level of p75NTR was noticed in spinal motor neurons from patients with ALS (Lowry et al., 2001; Seeburger et al., 1993). Furthermore, re-expression of p75NTR was also found in spinal motor neurons from transgenic ALS mice overexpressing mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1G93A) which is associated with human ALS (Lowry et al., 2001; Copray et al., 2003; Gurney et al., 1994).
Challenges of BDNF-based therapies: From common to rare diseases
2020, Pharmacological ResearchCitation Excerpt :Indeed, this receptor seems to trigger a death-signal in both the SOD1G93A mouse model and in ALS patients, leading to motor neuron degeneration. In physiological conditions, adult motor neurons are usually p75NTR deficient and express TrkB [202,203]. In ALS, p75NTR expression is induced in spinal motor neurons and denervated Schwann cells [204–206] (Fig. 6).
