Research Abstract |
Notch signaling, related with maintenance of Stemness in culture, is well known to play an important role in neuroprotective and proliferative properties. Therefore, alcohol exposure showed to activate the Notch pathway. As results, Notch signaling related receptors, such as Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and Nerve growth factor (NGF), were indicated to be strongly expressed. However, there are significant lacunae about formation of neuronal network under expression of these receptors. Particularly, changes of neuronal membranes, axonal transport and synaptic transmission should be studied. In this point, a study of synaptic transport of protein might provide biological solution for psychiatric disorder of alcoholism.
