Gene Expression Profiling in Rodent Models for Schizophrenia
نویسندگان
چکیده
The complex neurodevelopmental disorder schizophrenia is thought to be induced by an interaction between predisposing genes and environmental stressors. In order to get a better insight into the aetiology of this complex disorder, animal models have been developed. In this review, we summarize mRNA expression profiling studies on neurodevelopmental, pharmacological and genetic animal models for schizophrenia. We discuss parallels and contradictions among these studies, and propose strategies for future research.

Systematic enrichment analysis of microRNA expression profiling studies in endometriosis
Objective(s): The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis on human microRNAs (miRNAs) expression data of endometriosis tissue profiles versus those of normal controls and to identify novel putative diagnostic markers. Materials andMethods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Ovid Medline were used to search for endometriosis miRNA expression profiling studies of endometriosis. The miRN...
متن کاملThe Demonstration of Polyethylenimine Mediated Gene Transfer into the Rodent Hypothalamus Results in Persistent Over-Expression and Phenotypic Change
Polyethylenimine (PEI) has been proposed as a non-viral vector, and has been successfully used to transfer reporter genes into the central nervous system (CNS), kidneys, and lungs of adult mice. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a peptide expressed in the hypothalamus and is important in the regulation of body weight. Using PEI combined with stereotactic microinjection, we have successfully transferred c...
متن کاملGSK3β and CREB3 Gene Expression Profiling in Benign and Malignant Salivary Gland Tumors
Background: Salivary gland tumors (SGT) are rare lesions with uncertain histopathology. One of the major signaling pathways that participate in the development of several tumors is protein kinase A. In this pathway, glycogen synthase kinase β (GSK3β) and cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB3) are two genes which are supposed to be down regulated in most human tumors. The expression lev...

Background Classification of cancer subtypes by means of microarray signatures is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore as a potential to transform pathological diagnosis nonetheless, measurement of Indicator genes in routine practice appears to be arduous. In a preceding published study, we utilized real-time PCR measurement of Indicator genes in acute lymphoid leukaemia (ALL) and acute m...
متن کاملNeurodevelopmental models of transcription factor 4 deficiency converge on a common ion channel as a potential therapeutic target for Pitt Hopkins syndrome
The clinically pleiotropic gene, Transcription Factor 4 (TCF4), is a broadly expressed basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor linked to multiple neurodevelopmental disorders, including schizophrenia, 18q deletion syndrome, and Pitt Hopkins syndrome (PTHS). In vivo suppression of Tcf4 by shRNA or mutation by CRISPR/Cas9 in the developing rat prefrontal cortex resulted in attenuated a...
