levels of GDNF in the brains of scrapie-infected mice on the days of post-inoculation (dpi) of 100 and 160. In addition, we found that more intensive immunoreactivities of GDNF in the brains of scrapie-infected mice, specifically in the hippocampal astrocytes, than in those of control mice. Conclusions: This study suggest that up regulation of GDNF expression in scrapie-infected brain may play a function to protect the neuronal cell loss and astrophy in neurodegenerative disorders, which is one of the important role in the pathogenic mechanisms of prion diseases.
