Development and maintenance of the mammalian nervous system require neurotrophic factors. The most well-characterizied neurotrophic factor, nerve growth factor (NGF), has recently been shown to be a member of a family of structurally related proteins that also includes brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) and neurotrophin-4 (NT-4). An evolutionary study of these factors (neurotrophins) in representative groups of vertebrates showed that the four factors are highly conserved from fishes to mammals. Chimeric molecules were contructed where different combinations of sequences from BDNF replaced the corresponding sequences in NGF. Assays for biological activity of such molecules showed that the biological specificities of the two proteins are obtained by specific combinations of a set of sequences that differ between the two molecules. In the brain, the highest levels of NGF, BDNF and NT-3 mRNAs are found within the hippocampus, where they are expressed in a unique set of neurons. Both BDNF and NT-3 mRNAs are transiently expressed in some brain regions during postnatal brain development, suggesting that trophic interactions during brain development are a dynamic phenomenon which may alter with various stages of ontogeny. Expression of NGF and BDNF mRNAs in the brain appears to be regulated by neuronal activity, and the levels of these mRNAs show a marked and transient increase following epileptic seizures, cerebral ischemia and hypoglycemic coma. The increases of NGF and BDNF mRNAs appear to be mediated via a release of glutamate activating AMPA receptors within the hippocampus, as well as a rise in intracellular calcium levels. The protooncogene trkB, an essential component of the high-affinity BDNF receptor, is also expressed in the hippocampus, where it is spatially and temporally regulated in a manner similar to BDNF. These data suggest that BDNF and its receptor could, in a paracrine/autocrine fashion, play a role in kindling-associated neural plasticity and in neuronal protection following ischemic and hypoglycemic insults. Genetically modified cells that express high levels of the four neurotrophins have been established and used for implantation into the rat brain to identify cells that respond to these factors in vivo. Using this approach, NGF has been shown to expert a trophic stimulation for cholinergic neurons in the brain.
