Morphometrical Study of Polysialylated Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule Positive Cells in Rat Pups Hippocampus Following Induction of Seizure during Pregnancy
Background:The polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule (PSA-NCAM) is expressed in developing brain. Fetal brain damage is caused by different conditions such as seizure and hypoxia. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of maternal seizures on the number of PSA-NCAM positive cells in pup's hippocampus. Methods: Female Wistar rats were divided into four groups: (a) kindle...
متن کاملDifferential expression of alternatively spliced neural cell adhesion molecule L1 isoforms during oligodendrocyte maturation.
The expression of neural cell adhesion molecules and myelin-specific molecules is precisely regulated according to cell type and developmental age. We investigated whether different isoforms of these molecules change during development of oligodendrocytes. Immature oligodendrocytes cultured from embryonic day 18 rat cerebrum were distinguished into early stage and late stage by morphological an...
متن کاملTranscriptional repression: lessons from thyroid hormone action and promyelocytic leukaemia.
At first sight, hypothyroidism and acute promyelocytic leukaemia (PML) have little in common. However, recent studies on the mechanisms regulating gene transcription by nuclear hormone receptors (NRs) demonstrate that active repression of gene expression is likely to be an important factor in diseases such as hypothyroidism and PML. Cellular proliferation, differentiation, and organ development...
متن کاملThyroid hormone down-regulates neural cell adhesion molecule expression and affects attachment of gonocytes in Sertoli cell-gonocyte cocultures.
Contact-mediated interactions between Sertoli cells and gonocytes are important for testicular development. Specifically, down-regulation of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM)-based intercellular adhesion during postnatal maturation is likely to be important for appropriate differentiation of testicular cells. Besides NCAM, P-cadherin is also present in neonatal testicular cords, at least in ...
متن کاملDifferential expression of mouse neural cell-adhesion molecule (N-CAM) mRNA species during brain development and in neural cell lines.
The cell-adhesion molecules N-CAM (neural cell-adhesion molecule) are ligands in the formation of cell-cell bonds and have been shown to play important roles during neuro-ontogenesis. They exist in several molecular forms which differ at the protein and carbohydrate levels. The regulation of the expression of these different forms is an important issue that bears on such questions as to how adh...
