Dopamine cross‐reacts with adrenoreceptors in cortical astrocytes to induce BDNF expression, CREB signaling and morphological transformation
Abstract
Expression of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is induced in cultured rat cortical astrocytes by catecholamines norepinephrine and dopamine as well as selective α1 and β adrenergic agonists. However, it has remained unknown which receptors mediate dopamine‐induced BDNF upregulation in astrocytes. Here, we demonstrate that β adrenoreceptors are the main mediators of this effect in cultured cortical astrocytes, while α1 adrenoreceptors and...
