Background
Glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) plays an important role in the development and maintenance of the central and peripheral nervous system, renal morphogenesis, and spermatogenesis (1). GDNF and the related GDNF family of ligands (GFLs) neurturin, persephin, and artemin bind to the GDNF family receptor alpha (GFRα) proteins, which signal through the rearranged during transfection (RET) receptor tyrosine kinase (2,3). GDNF binds GFRα1, activating signaling cascades that promote neuronal differentiation, plasticity, and survival. In particular, the pro-survival effect of GDNF/GFRα1/RET signaling in dopaminergic neurons has garnered attention in Parkinson’s disease (PD) therapeutic research (4,5). GFRα1 can also function in a RET-independent manner, binding and signaling through the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM). This interaction has reported roles in neurogenesis, cell migration, and axon regeneration following nerve injury (6-8). GFRα1 expression has been reported to be upregulated in activated astrocytes under pathological conditions as well, suggesting that it may play a role in modulating neuroinflammation (4). In addition, GFRα1 has been implicated in cancer cell progression, metastasis, and treatment resistance. Its potential as a therapeutic target for cancer is under investigation (9-13).
