VGForVGF nerve growth factor inducibleis a secreted protein andneuropeptideprecursor that may play a role in regulating energy homeostasis,metabolism[5]andsynaptic plasticity.[6]The protein was first discovered in 1985 by Leviet al.[7]in an experiment withPC12 cellsand its name is non-acronymic.VGF gene encodes a precursor which is divided byproteolysistopolypeptidesof different mass, which have a variety of functions, the best studied of which are the roles ofTLQP-21in the control of appetite and inflammation,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]andTLQP-62as well as AQEE-30 in regulating depression-like behaviors[16][17][18][19][20]and memory.[21][22]The expression of VGF and VGF-derived peptides is detected in a subset of neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems and specific populations of endocrine cells in theadenohypophysis,adrenal medulla,gastrointestinal tract, andpancreas.[23]VGF expression is induced byNGF,CREBandBDNFand regulated byneurotrophin-3.[24]Physical exercisesignificantly increases VGF expression in micehippocampaltissue and upregulates a neurotrophic signaling cascade thought to underlie the action ofantidepressants.[16][25][26][27]

Role in pathology

[edit]

Changes in expression of discrete VGF fragments have been detected in different neurological and psychiatric conditions. Inschizophrenia,one study has shown an increase in the VGF23-62 peptide[28]and a subsequent small study demonstrated that drugs further increase the expression, pointing at a possible ameliorating action of the fragment. A decreased expression of VGF26-62 peptide was found infrontotemporal dementia[29]and the expression of a fragment containing aminoacids 378-398 was found to be changing inamyotrophic lateral sclerosis[30]andAlzheimer's disease.[31]VGF expression has also been shown in damaged peripheral nerves, and it is thought to have a role inneuropathic pain.[32]Inglioblastoma,VGF has been shown to play autocrine and paracrine roles in feedback loops between differentiated glioblastoma cells and glioblastoma-specificcancer stem cells,promoting growth, survival and self-renewal.[33]
