Disruption of polyubiquitin gene Ubb causes dysregulation of neural stem cell differentiation with premature gliogenesis
Disruption of polyubiquitin gene Ubb leads to early-onset reactive gliosis and adult-onset hypothalamic neurodegeneration in mice. However, it remains unknown why reduced levels of ubiquitin (Ub) due to loss of Ubb lead to these neural phenotypes. To determine whether or not the defects in neurons or their progenitors per se, but not in their cellular microenvironment, are the cause of the neur...
متن کاملAminoaciduria and altered renal expression of luminal amino acid transporters in mice lacking novel gene collectrin.
Defects in renal proximal tubule transport manifest in a number of human diseases. Although variable in clinical presentation, disorders such as Hartnup disease, Dent's disease, and Fanconi syndrome are characterized by wasting of solutes commonly recovered by the proximal tubule. One common feature of these disorders is aminoaciduria. There are distinct classes of amino acid transporters locat...
متن کاملDownregulation of ubiquitin level via knockdown of polyubiquitin gene Ubb as potential cancer therapeutic intervention
Ubiquitin is involved in almost every cellular process, and it is also known to be a stress-inducible protein. Based on previous reports that many types of cancer display an elevated level of ubiquitin, we hypothesized that this increased amount of ubiquitin is essential for the growth of cancer cells and that, consequently, the downregulation of ubiquitin may be a potential anti-cancer treatme...
متن کاملTemporal downregulation of the polyubiquitin gene Ubb affects neuronal differentiation, but not maturation, in cells cultured in vitro
Reduced levels of cellular ubiquitin (Ub) pools due to disruption of the polyubiquitin gene Ubb lead to dysregulation of neural stem cell (NSC) differentiation and impaired neuronal maturation in cells isolated from Ubb -/- mouse embryonic brains. However, it is currently unknown whether Ub is required for the specific stage of neuronal development or whether it plays a pleiotropic role through...
متن کاملGene expression in lungs of mice lacking the 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter gene
BACKGROUND While modulation of the serotonin transporter (5HTT) has shown to be a risk factor for pulmonary arterial hypertension for almost 40 years, there is a lack of in vivo data about the broad molecular effects of pulmonary inhibition of 5HTT. Previous studies have suggested effects on inflammation, proliferation, and vasoconstriction. The goal of this study was to determine which of thes...
