data suggest that All-trans retinoic acid administration upregulates CNTF expression in retinal pigment epithelial cells.

CNTF is upregulated in the corticospinal tract after unilateral pyramidotomy, which likely triggers sprouting of uninjured axons.

Our data reveal that haematopoietic cell-derived CNTF has roles in regulating BM B cell lymphopoiesis and both trabecular and cortical bone, the latter in a sex-dependent manner.
Title: Ciliary neurotrophic factor has intrinsic and extrinsic roles in regulating B cell differentiation and bone structure.

Ciliary neurotrophic factor activation of astrocytes decreases spreading depolarization susceptibility and increases potassium clearance

data indicate that muscle cells secrete abundant TIMP-1, MCP-1, and CNTF, and that of these, only CNTF has the ability to suppress osteoblast function and gene expression in a similar manner to myotube-conditioned medium
Title: Myokines (muscle-derived cytokines and chemokines) including ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) inhibit osteoblast differentiation.
