Abstract
Background Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) seems to be involved in the neural circuits associated with social cognition and brain structure. Objectives To investigate the association of IGF-1 levels with social cognition and brain structure in Huntington's disease (HD). Methods We evaluated social cognition using the Ekman test in 22 HD patients and 19 matched controls. Brain structure was assessed using standard volume-based voxel-based morphometry and surface-based cortical thickness pipeline. We analyzed the association of IGF-1 levels with social cognition and brain structure using adjusted regression analysis. Results Social cognition was worse in HD patients (P < 0.001), on antidopaminergic drugs (P = 0.02), and with lower IGF-1 levels (P = 0.04). In neuroimaging analyses, lower IGF-1 levels were associated with social cognition impairment and atrophy mainly in frontotemporal regions (P < 0.05 corrected). Conclusions In HD, abnormal IGF-1 function seems to be associated with brain atrophy leading to clinical deficits in social cognition.

Abstract
Acute ischemic stroke is one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The present study aimed to explore the effects of exogenous insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) on the cognitive injuries induced by acute ischemic stroke and the underlying mechanisms. Acute ischemic stroke rat model was established via transient occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery to male Sprague-Dawley rats. IGF-1 was administered intravenously every other day 24 h after surgery for 14 days. Cognitive functions were determined by Morris water maze assay. Cerebral infarction and edema were determined by riphenyltetrazolium chloride staining and cerebral water content measurement. ELISA and Western blot were performed to detect concentrations of target proteins. Ischemic stroke rats exhibited reduced plasma IGF-1 level and impaired cognitive functions. Intravenous IGF-1 delivery increased the IGF-1 levels in plasma, ischemic amygdala, hippocampus and cortex, improved the neurological dysfunction, cognitive deficits, cerebral infarction and brain edema. Furthermore, IGF-1 relieved the systemic and cerebral inflammatory response by inhibiting the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), in serum and ischemic hippocampus of ischemic rats. Additionally, IGF-1 attenuated tau phosphorylation in ischemic hippocampus. In short, intravenous IGF-1 administration attenuates acute ischemic stroke-induced cognitive injuries in the experimental rat model possibly via modulating inflammatory response and tau phosphorylation, and might be of promising therapeutic value to ischemic stroke in the future.

ASN Neuro 2019; 11:1759091419839515. [PMID: 31081340 PMCID: PMC6535914 DOI: 10.1177/1759091419839515] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2018] [Revised: 01/21/2019] [Accepted: 02/06/2019] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is the third most common dementing neurodegenerative disease with nearly 80% having no known etiology. OBJECTIVE Growing evidence that neurodegeneration can be linked to dysregulated metabolism prompted us to measure a panel of trophic factors, receptors, and molecules that modulate brain metabolic function in FTLD. METHODS Postmortem frontal (Brodmann's area [BA]8/9 and BA24) and temporal (BA38) lobe homogenates were used to measure immunoreactivity to Tau, phosphorylated tau (pTau), ubiquitin, 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) and its receptor (TGF-β1R), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth factor, neurotrophin-3, neurotrophin-4, tropomyosin receptor kinase, and insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2) and their receptors by direct-binding enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS FTLD brains had significantly elevated pTau, ubiquitin, TGF-β1, and HNE immunoreactivity relative to control. In addition, BDNF and neurotrophin-4 were respectively reduced in BA8/9 and BA38, while neurotrophin-3 and nerve growth factor were upregulated in BA38, and tropomyosin receptor kinase was elevated in BA24. Lastly, insulin and insulin receptor expressions were elevated in the frontal lobe, IGF-1 was increased in BA24, IGF-1R was upregulated in all three brain regions, and IGF-2 receptor was reduced in BA24 and BA38. CONCLUSIONS Aberrantly increased levels of pTau, ubiquitin, HNE, and TGF-β1, marking neurodegeneration, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation, overlap with altered expression of insulin/IGF signaling ligand and receptors in frontal and temporal lobe regions targeted by FTLD. Dysregulation of insulin-IGF signaling networks could account for brain hypometabolism and several characteristic neuropathologic features that characterize FTLD but overlap with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Dementia with Lewy Body Disease.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and oestrogens interact with each other as neuroprotective factors. We have previously demonstrated that 17β-oestradiol protects against β-amyloid and oxidative stress toxicity and increases the amount of cell cholesterol in human foetal neuroblasts (FNC). The present study aimed: (i) to assess the protective effects of IGF-1 in FNC cells; (ii) to investigate the relationship between IGF-1 and 17β-oestradiol; and (iii) to determine whether cholesterol was a major mediator of the effects of IGF-1, similarly to 17β-oestradiol. We found that IGF-1 effectively exerts neuroprotective effects in FNC cells. We also demonstrated that the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) pathway is needed to maintain oestrogen-mediated neuroprotection. Finally, we found that, opposite to 17β-oestradiol, IGF-1 did not cause a significant increase in cell cholesterol. These findings indicate that a cross-talk between IGF-1 and 17β-oestradiol occurs in FNC cells. In particular, the activation of the IGF-1R cascade appears to be fundamental to warrant 17β-oestradiol-mediated neuroprotection, even though cell cholesterol does not play a major role as an effector of this pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Huntington's disease (HD) is a severe inherited neurodegenerative disorder characterized, in addition to neurological impairment, by weight loss suggesting endocrine disturbances. The aims of this study were to look for neuroendocrine disturbances in patients with Huntington's disease (HD) and to determine the relationship with weight loss seen in HD METHODS AND FINDING: We compared plasma levels of hormones from the five pituitary axes in 219 patients with genetically documented HD and in 71 sex- and age-matched controls. Relationships between hormone levels and disease severity, including weight-loss severity, were evaluated. Growth hormone (GH) and standard deviation score of insulin-like growth factor 1 (SDS IGF-1) were significantly higher in patients than in controls (0.25 (0.01-5.89) vs. 0.15 (0.005-4.89) ng/ml, p = 0.013 and 0.16+/-1.02 vs. 0.06+/-0.91, p = 0.039; respectively). Cortisol was higher (p = 0.002) in patients (399.14+/-160.5 nmol/L vs. 279.8+/-130.1 nmol/L), whereas no differences were found for other hormone axes. In patients, elevations in GH and IGF-1 and decreases in thyroid-stimulating hormone, free triiodothyronine and testosterone (in men) were associated with severity of impairments (Independence scale, Functional score, Total Functional Capacity, Total Motor score, Behavioral score). Only GH was independently associated with body mass index (beta = -0.26, p = 0.001). CONCLUSION Our data suggest that the thyrotropic and in men gonadotropic axes are altered in HD according to the severity of the disease. The somatotropic axis is overactive even in patients with early disease, and could be related to the weight loss seen in HD patients.

Abstract
Prenatal alcohol exposure can affect brain development, leading to behavioral problems, including overactivity, motor dysfunction and learning deficits. Despite warnings about the effects of drinking during pregnancy, rates of fetal alcohol syndrome remain unchanged and thus, there is an urgent need to identify interventions that reduce the severity of alcohol's teratogenic effects. Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is neuroprotective against ethanol-related toxicity and promotes white matter production following a number of insults. Given that prenatal alcohol leads to cell death and white matter deficits, the present study examined whether IGF-I could reduce the severity of behavioral deficits associated with developmental alcohol exposure. Sprague-Dawley rat pups received ethanol intubations (5.25 g/kg/day) or sham intubations on postnatal days (PD) 4-9, a period of brain development equivalent to the third trimester. On PD 10-13, subjects from each treatment received 0 or 10 microg IGF-I intranasally each day. Subjects were then tested on a series of behavioral tasks including open field activity (PD 18-21), parallel bar motor coordination (PD 30-32) and Morris maze spatial learning (PD 45-52). Ethanol exposure produced overactivity, motor coordination impairments, and spatial learning deficits. IGF-I treatment significantly mitigated ethanol's effects on motor coordination, but not on the other two behavioral tasks. These data indicate that IGF-I may be a potential treatment for some of ethanol's damaging effects, a finding that has important implications for children of women who drink alcohol during pregnancy.

Abstract
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by an expansion of the polyglutamine tract in the androgen receptor (AR). Here, we investigated the regulation of AR phosphorylation in order to understand factors that may modify SBMA disease progression. We show that expanded polyglutamine AR is phosphorylated by Akt. Substitution of the AR at two Akt consensus sites, S215 and S792, with aspartate, which mimics phosphorylation, reduces ligand binding, ligand-dependent nuclear translocation, transcriptional activation and toxicity of expanded polyglutamine AR. Co-expression of constitutively active Akt and the AR has similar consequences, which are blocked by alanine substitutions at residues 215 and 792. Furthermore, in motor neuron-derived MN-1 cells toxicity associated with polyglutamine-expanded AR is rescued by co-expression with Akt. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) stimulation, which activates several cell survival promoting pathways, also reduces toxicity of the expanded polyglutamine AR in MN-1 cells, in a manner dependent upon phospho-inositol-3-kinase. IGF-1 rescue of AR toxicity is diminished by alanine substitutions at the Akt consensus sites. These results highlight potential targets for therapeutic intervention in SBMA.

Abstract
Differential neurological outcomes due to prostaglandin E2 activating G-protein-coupled prostaglandin E (EP) receptors have been observed. Here, we investigated the action of the EP4/EP3 agonist 1-hydroxyPGE1 (1-OHPGE1) in modulating transient ischemic brain damage. C57BL/6 mice were pretreated 50 min before transient occlusion of the middle cerebral artery with an intraventricular injection of 1-OHPGE1 (0.1, 0.2, 2.0 nmol/0.2 microL). Brain damage 4 days after reperfusion, as estimated by infarct volume, was significantly reduced by more than 19% with 1-OHPGE1 in the two higher-dose groups (P < 0.05). To further address whether protection also was extended to neurons, primary mouse cultured neuronal cells were exposed to N-methyl-D-aspartate. Co-treatment with 1-OHPGE1 resulted in significant neuroprotection (P < 0.05). To better understand potential mechanisms of action and to test whether changes in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels and downstream signaling would be neuroprotective, we measured cAMP levels in primary neuronal cells. Brief exposure to 1-OHPGE1 increased cAMP levels more than twofold and increased the phosphorylation of extracellular-regulated kinases at positions Thr-202/Tyr-204. In a separate cohort of animals, 1-OHPGE1 at all doses tested produced no significant effect on the physiological parameters of core body temperature, mean arterial pressure and relative cerebral blood flow observed following drug treatment. Together, these results suggest that modulation of PGE2 receptors that increase cAMP levels and activate extracellular-regulated kinases 1/2 caused by treatment with 1-OHPGE1 can be protective against neuronal injury induced by focal ischemia.

Abstract
In recent years, much interest has been devoted to defining the role of the IGF system in the nervous system. The ubiquitous IGFs, their cell membrane receptors, and their carrier binding proteins, the IGFBPs, are expressed early in the development of the nervous system and are therefore considered to play a key role in these processes. In vitro studies have demonstrated that the IGF system promotes differentiation and proliferation and sustains survival, preventing apoptosis of neuronal and brain derived cells. Furthermore, studies of transgenic mice overexpressing components of the IGF system or mice with disruptions of the same genes have clearly shown that the IGF system plays a key role in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A variety of demographic and clinical variables are acknowledged as risk factors for delirium; a syndrome thought to be mediated by abnormalities in a wide range of neurotransmitters. However, little research has been conducted in this field and the role of neuro-immunological factors as a mechanism of medication has received very little attention. AIMS To determine if low base line (on admission) IGF-1 levels (a protective cytokine released by brain cells in response to insult) is a risk factor for incident delirium in patients aged 75 and over admitted to an acute medical ward. METHOD Base line demographic and clinical variables and serum IGF-1 levels were measured in a consecutive series of 100 non-delirious subjects on inpatient admission. Subjects were assessed daily regarding the development of delirium during the inpatient episode. RESULTS Twelve patients developed incident delirium. IGF-1 (OR: 0.822, CI: 0.69, 0.97, p = 0.027), pre-admission cognitive deterioration (assessed by IQCODE) (OR; 3.26, CI: 1.18, 9.04, p = 0.023) and depression (GDS four item: cut-off score > or = 3) (OR; 8.99, CI 1.59,50.76, p = 0.013) were identified as risk factors for developing subsequent delirium. CONCLUSIONS Despite the small size of this study our findings suggest that low, pre-morbid IGF-1 is a risk factor for subsequent delirium in this population, emphasizing the potential protective role of this anabolic cytokine and the need for replication of these findings.

METHODS The sample comprised 85 patients (mean [+/- SD] age, 83 +/- 7.4 years; range, 67 to 99 years; 34% male) who were admitted with acute stroke to a geriatric ward between January 1998 and June 2000, and 88 control patients who were similar in age and sex. Clinical and laboratory assessments, computed tomographic scan of the head, carotid ultrasonography, and electrocardiography were employed to define the clinical and etiologic stroke subtype. Fasting blood samples were collected within 24 hours of admission for IGF-I and IGFBP-3 measurement. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses, with adjustment for other related clinical covariates, were used to assess the relation of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 to poor outcome, defined as severe disability (Barthel index <60/100) or death, at 1 month (or at discharge), 3 months, and 6 months. RESULTS Mean (+/- SD) IGF-1 levels were lower in patients with stroke than in controls (69 +/- 45 ng/mL vs. 102 +/- 67 ng/mL, P adjusted for age = 0.001). The mean IGF-1/IGFBP-3 molar ratio was also lower in stroke patients (0.12 +/- 0.07 vs. 0.19 +/- 0.09, P adjusted for age <0.0001). However, there was no relation of hormone levels to either the clinical subtype of stroke or the extent of neurologic impairment. IGF-1 levels were inversely related to poor outcome (mainly death) at 3 and 6 months, independent of other clinical covariates that were highly predictive of outcome, such as age and stroke scale score on admission (hazard ratio for death at 6 months for each 20-ng/mL increase = 0.7; 95% confidence interval: 0.5 to 0.9). An independent association of the molar ratio with death at 3 and 6 months was also found. CONCLUSION Low levels of circulating IGF-1 may predict the clinical outcome of stroke in elderly patients.

Abstract
The influence of gamma-sterilization on the physicochemical properties of a controlled release formulation for the insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) was investigated in this study. Recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-I (rhIGF-I) was efficiently entrapped in poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres by water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) solvent evaporation technique. Microspheres were irradiated at a dose of 25kGy and evaluated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The stability of the released protein was investigated by circular dichroism (CD) and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrilamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). No difference was noticed in microsphere size and morphology before and after irradiation. Drug loading remains essentially the same after the sterilization process. However, rhIGF-I aggregation was detected by electrophoresis. In addition, subtle changes in DSC pattern were noticed for irradiated microspheres. In vitro drug release from irradiated microspheres was also affected, showing an increased burst effect. From this results it can be concluded that gamma-sterilization process causes changes in the properties of rhIGF-I loaded microspheres.

Abstract
The purpose of this work was to study the effect of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and its binding protein (IGFBP-3) on the recovery of erectile function in a rat model for neurogenic impotence. In all, 28 male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: seven underwent a sham operation; seven underwent bilateral cavernous nerve freezing (control group); seven underwent bilateral cavernous nerve freezing followed by intraperitoneal injection of IGF-1; and seven underwent bilateral cavernous nerve freezing followed by intraperitoneal injection of IGFBP-3. Erectile response was assessed by cavernous nerve electrostimulation at 3 months, and samples of penile tissue were evaluated histochemically for nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-containing fibers. In the sham and IGF-1 group, there were significantly higher maximal intracavernous pressures compared to the IGFBP-3 complex and the control group. Correspondingly in the cavernosum, there were significantly more NOS-containing nerve fibers in the sham and IGF-1 groups. In conclusion, administration of IGF-1 can facilitate the regeneration of NOS-containing nerve fibers in penile tissue and enhance the recovery of erectile function after bilateral cavernous nerve cryoablation. The reverse effect was noted with the IGFBP-3 complex injection.

Abstract
Evidence from transgenic mice and cultured cerebellar neurons supports an important role for insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in the formation of cerebellar cytoarchitecture. To understand IGF-I's function during cerebellar development, we examined the involvement of IGF-I in the premature apoptosis of granule neurons derived from the cerebella of weaver (wv) mutant mice. Before their demise, wv granule neurons increased the expression and secretion of IGFBP5 in a gene dose-dependent manner. Because IGFBP5 may interfere with the interaction of IGF-I and its receptor, the abnormally high IGFBP5 levels in wv granule neurons suggest that a lack of IGF-I activation may contribute to their premature apoptosis. This hypothesis is supported by a gene dose-dependent decrease in IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) phosphorylation. More importantly, there is a parallel gene dose-dependent decrease in Akt activity, which was inversely correlated with the activity levels of caspase 3. On the other hand, adding IGFBP5 antibody into culture media increased the survival of wv granule neurons, whereas adding IGFBP5 decreased the survival of wild-type granule neurons. To delineate the interaction between IGF-I and IGFBP5 on wv granule neurons, we examined neuronal survival after treating with IGF-I, des(1-3) IGF-I, or IGFBP5 antibody. At the same concentration, des(1-3) IGF-I was more effective than IGF-I in promoting survival, in increasing Akt activity, and in decreasing caspase 3 activity. These results indicate that IGF-I's actions on wv granule neurons are normally inhibited by excess IGFBP5, and sufficient IGF-I receptor activation rescues wv granule neurons via stimulating the Akt signaling pathway.

Abstract
In the search for neuroprotective factors in Huntington's disease, we found that insulin growth factor 1 via activation of the serine/threonine kinase Akt/PKB is able to inhibit neuronal death specifically induced by mutant huntingtin containing an expanded polyglutamine stretch. The IGF-1/Akt pathway has a dual effect on huntingtin-induced toxicity, since activation of this pathway also results in a decrease in the formation of intranuclear inclusions of mutant huntingtin. We demonstrate that huntingtin is a substrate of Akt and that phosphorylation of huntingtin by Akt is crucial to mediate the neuroprotective effects of IGF-1. Finally, we show that Akt is altered in Huntington's disease patients. Taken together, these results support a potential role of the Akt pathway in Huntington's disease.

Abstract
In most brain regions of highly developed mammals, the majority of neurogenesis is terminated soon after birth. However, new neurons are continually generated throughout life in the subventricular zone and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is a polypeptide hormone that has demonstrated effects on these progenitor cells. IGF-I induces proliferation of isolated progenitors in culture, as well as affecting various aspects of neuronal induction and maturation. Moreover, systemic infusion of IGF-I increases both proliferation and neurogenesis in the adult rat hippocampus, and uptake of serum IGF-I by the brain parenchyma mediates the increase in neurogenesis induced by exercise. Neurogenesis in the adult brain is regulated by many factors including aging, chronic stress, depression and brain injury. Aging is associated with reductions in both hippocampal neurogenesis and IGF-I levels, and administration of IGF-I to old rats increases neurogenesis and reverses cognitive impairments. Similarly, stress and depression also inhibit neurogenesis, possibly via the associated reductions in serotonin or increases in circulating glucocorticoids. As both of these changes have the potential to down regulate IGF-I production by neural cells, stress may inhibit neurogenesis indirectly via downregulation of IGF-I. In contrast, brain injury stimulates neurogenesis, and is associated with upregulation of IGF-I in the brain. Thus, there is a tight correlation between IGF-I and neurogenesis in the adult brain under different conditions. Further studies are needed to clarify whether IGF-I does indeed mediate neurogenesis in these situations.

Abstract
The term neuropeptides commonly refers to a relatively large number of biologically active molecules that have been localized to discrete cell populations of central and peripheral neurons. I review here the most important histological and functional findings on neuropeptide distribution in the central nervous system (CNS), in relation to their role in the exchange of information between the nerve cells. Under this perspective, peptide costorage (presence of two or more peptides within the same subcellular compartment) and coexistence (concurrent presence of peptides and other messenger molecules within single nerve cells) are discussed in detail. In particular, the subcellular site(s) of storage and sorting mechanisms within neurons are thoroughly examined in the view of the mode of release and action of neuropeptides as neuronal messengers. Moreover, the relationship of neuropeptides and other molecules implicated in neural transmission is discussed in functional terms, also referring to the interactions with novel unconventional transmitters and trophic factors. Finally, a brief account is given on the presence of neuropeptides in glial cells.

Abstract
The cytokine tumor necrosis factor(alpha) (TNFalpha) and the hormone insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) have both been shown to regulate inflammatory events in the central nervous system (CNS). This review summarizes the seemingly independent roles of TNFalpha and IGF-I in promoting and inhibiting neurodegenerative diseases. We then offer evidence that the combined effects of IGF-I and TNFalpha on neuronal survival can be vastly different when both receptors are stimulated simultaneously, as is likely to occur in vivo. We propose the framework of a molecular model of hormone-cytokine receptor cross talk in which disparate cell surface receptors share intracellular substrates that regulate neuronal survival.

Abstract
It has been found that insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) exerts cytoprotection against Abeta amyloid-induced neuronal cell death. Deposits of Abeta amyloid are one of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we examined whether IGF-I exerts protective activity against cell death induced by a familial AD (FAD)-linked mutant of amyloid precursor protein (APP), and we found that IGF-I protected cells from toxicity of FAD-associated V642I mutant of APP in multiple cell systems. IGFBP-3 blocked this action of IGF-I, but not of des(1-3)IGF-I, which was as active as IGF-I in the presence of IGFBP-3. The data also demonstrated that the IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) mediates the protective activity of IGF-I. The antagonizing function of the IGF-I/IGF-IR system against V642I-APP, which is further antagonized by IGFBP-3, provides a molecular clue to the understanding of AD pathophysiology and to the establishment of potential therapy for AD.

Abstract
5-Lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) are two enzymes that are critical for the synthesis of eicosanoids, the inflammatory metabolites of arachidonic acid. Both 5-LOX and COX-2 are expressed in the brain, including in CNS neurons. The physiologic role of these proteins in neuronal functioning is not clear. In non-neuronal tissues these two enzymes often assume similar roles: in addition to their function in inflammation, 5-LOX and COX-2 appear to be associated with cell proliferation, that is, with tumor growth. High 5-LOX expression has been noticed in the proliferating brain or pancreatic tumor cells; reduction in tumor cell proliferation and/or destruction of tumor cells was achieved with 5-LOX inhibitors. Proliferation of immature neurons/neuroblasts is an important component of mitotic neurogenesis. We investigated the role of 5-LOX in proliferation using cultures of human neuronal precursor cells, NT2. We found that these cells express 5-LOX mRNA and we used 3H-thymidine incorporation as a measure of cell proliferation; this was reduced by treating the cultures with 5-LOX inhibitor AA-861. We propose that the 5-LOX pathway plays a crucial role in mitotic neurogenesis. Additional studies should explore whether 5-LOX may participate in neurogenesis related pathologies and whether it should be considered a target for procedures aimed at altering neurogenesis for therapeutic purposes.
