Balancing Survival: The Role of CTGF in Controlling Experience-Modulated Olfactory Circuitry
نویسندگان
چکیده
The subventricular zone (SVZ) continuously supplies new interneurons that incorporate into pre-existing olfactory bulb circuitry. Khodosevich et al. (2013) show that connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) regulates a multicellular signaling cascade determining the number of postnatally born inhibitory interneurons in odor-activated glomeruli.

Connective Tissue Growth Factor Regulates Interneuron Survival and Information Processing in the Olfactory Bulb
Neurogenesis underlies plastic changes in defined neuronal circuits in the postnatal and adult brain. Here we identify connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) as a critical factor in the mouse olfactory bulb (OB) in determining the efficiency of incorporation of postnatally born inhibitory neurons, thus gating the output of glomeruli, the first relay station of olfactory processing in the brain....
متن کاملDifferent olfactory perception in heroin addicts: an fMRI study
Background: Addiction as a mental disorder has large adverse effects on brain health. It alters brain structure and deteriorates brain functionality. Impairment of brain cognition in drug addiction is illustrated in many previous works; however, olfactory perception in addiction and in particular the neuronal mechanisms of it are rarely studied. Methods: In this experiment, we recruited 20 he...

Background: The Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) gene encoding an extracellular matrix (ECM)-associated protein and as a member of the CCN family of proteins plays a major role in fibrosis, inflammation and connective tissue remodeling in a variety of diseases including cancer. The CCN proteins are multifunctional and are involved in cell proliferation, adhesion and cell development durin...
متن کاملAutophagy-Modulated Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Accelerate Liver Restoration in Mouse Models of Acute Liver Failure
Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been recently received increasing attention for cell-based therapy, especially in regenerative medicine. However, the low survival rate of these cells restricts their therapeutic applications. It is hypothesized that autophagy might play an important role in cellular homeostasis and survival. This study aims to investigate the regenerative potentia...
