OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in allergic rhinitis of rat. METHODS Thirty SD rats free of disease were randomly divided into two groups. A model of allergic rhinitis rat was established by using ovalbumin intraperitoneal immunization and intranasal antigen challenge. The nasal mucosa from 18 out of 20 AR models as well as 10 normal controls were studied for expression of BDNF mRNA by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS BDNF/beta-actin ratio in AR models was significantly higher than control (0.49+/-0.07 vs 0.28+/-0.01, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS BDNF played an important role in the development of allergic rhinitis of rat.

D009297 Nasal Mucosa The mucous lining of the NASAL CAVITY, including lining of the nostril (vestibule) and the OLFACTORY MUCOSA. Nasal mucosa consists of ciliated cells, GOBLET CELLS, brush cells, small granule cells, basal cells (STEM CELLS) and glands containing both mucous and serous cells.

D004195 Disease Models, Animal Naturally-occurring or experimentally-induced animal diseases with pathological processes analogous to human diseases. Animal Disease Model,Animal Disease Models,Disease Model, Animal
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012221 Rhinitis, Allergic, Perennial Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose similar to that found in hay fever except that symptoms persist throughout the year. The causes are usually air-borne allergens, particularly dusts, feathers, molds, animal fur, etc. Rhinitis, Allergic, Nonseasonal
D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D019208 Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor A member of the nerve growth factor family of trophic factors. In the brain BDNF has a trophic action on retinal, cholinergic, and dopaminergic neurons, and in the peripheral nervous system it acts on both motor and sensory neurons.
