Abstract

Glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a potent neurotrophic factor that enhances survival of midbrain doparminergic neuron. GDNF and its receptors are widely distributed in brain and are believed to be involved in the control of neuron survival and differentiation. GDNF increased proliferation and migration of Hs683 human giloma and C6 rat giloma cells in a dose-dependent manner. (omitted)
