2012, International Review of NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :The commonly held view is that RGCs compete for neurotrophic support; those that in some way fail to obtain sufficient support die, resulting in activation of proapoptotic pathways and the loss of over half the RGC population during the developmental period. Thus, early postnatal removal of a central target such as the SC during the period of naturally occurring cell death causes a rapid and massive increase in RGC death, while addition of factors such as BDNF or NT-4/5 results in increased RGC survival (Caleo, Menna, Chierzi, Cenni, & Maffei, 2000; Cui & Harvey, 1994, 1995; Ma, Hsieh, Forbes, Johnson, & Frost, 1998; Rodriguez-Tebar, Jeffrey, Thoenen, & Barde, 1989; Spalding, Cui, & Harvey, 1998; Vanselow, Dutting, & Thanos, 1990). Consistent with the concept of target-derived support, BDNF is synthesized by cells in the SC and is retrogradely transported back to RGCs (Frost, 2001; Ma et al., 1998; Marotte, Vidovic, Wheeler, & Jhaveri, 2004; Pease, McKinnon, Quigley, Kerrigan-Baumrind, & Zack, 2000).
Neuroprotection in glaucoma - Is there a future role?

2009, Experimental Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :When deprived of retrograde transported NTs derived from target organs, developing neurons have been shown to die by apoptosis (Raff et al., 1993). Also, RGCs have been shown to be maintained by exogenous brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in vitro (Johnson et al., 1986; Rodriguez-Tebar et al., 1989; Cohen-Cory and Fraser, 1994). However, the role of target-derived NTs in maintaining mature neurons is less clear.
