Possible Interaction: Nerve Growth Factor and Huperzine A

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Our previous study demonstrated that huperzine A , a selective acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, stimulates the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF) in cultured rat cortical astrocytes.
The present results indicate that the cytoprotective effect of huperzine A is mediated at least partly by up-regulated NGF and NGF receptors.

Meanwhile, huperzine A significantly increased the mRNA and protein levels of NGF , BDNF and TGF-beta(1), and potentiated phosphorylation of MAPK/ERK 1/2 in both cerebral cortex and hippocampus compared with transient cerebral ischemia and reperfusion group.
