1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) increases striatal GDNF mRNA and protein expression in adult rats. Sanchez B, Lopez-Martin E, Segura C, Labandeira-Garcia JL, Perez-Fernandez R. Department of Physiology, School of Medicine, University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been postulated as a possible candidate for therapeutic treatment in Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent in vitro data suggest that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)] treatment may enhance GDNF mRNA expression. In the present study, using semiquantitative RT-PCR and Western blot, we have shown that 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) administration intraperitoneally, significantly increases GDNF mRNA and protein levels in the striatum of adult rats. PMID: 12480187 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
