Abstract
⺠We examined the effect of five growth factors on miR-132 expression and synaptic protein levels. ⺠BDNF and bFGF upregulated levels of miR-132 in cortical cultures. ⺠BDNF, but not bFGF, increased expression of glutamate receptors. ⺠Only bFGF significantly upregulated miR-132 in cultured astroglial cells. ⺠Growth factor-induced miR-132 plays a different role in neurons and astrocytes.
