Neuronal activity up-regulates astroglial gene expression.
Neuronal gene expression is known to be modulated by functional activity. This modulation is thought to play a key role in determining the differentiation of developing neurons and regulating the operation of mature neurons. Here we describe a regulation of astroglial gene expression by neuronal activity. We report that intense neuronal activity (electrically induced seizures) in rat hippocampu...
متن کاملNeuronal regulation of astroglial morphology and proliferation in vitro
To analyze the interdependence of neurons and astroglia during central nervous system development, a rapid method for purifying early postnatal cerebellar neurons and astroglia, and recombining them in vitro, has been developed. The influence of neurons on astroglial shape and proliferation has been evaluated with an in vitro model system previously used to describe the role of cerebellar astro...
متن کاملCritical role of astroglial apolipoprotein E and liver X receptor-α expression for microglial Aβ phagocytosis.
Liver X receptors (LXRs) regulate immune cell function and cholesterol metabolism, both factors that are critically involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD). To investigate the therapeutic potential of long-term LXR activation in amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide deposition in an AD model, 13-month-old, amyloid plaque-bearing APP23 mice were treated with the LXR agonist TO901317. Postmortem analysis demonstra...
متن کاملDifferential expression of apolipoprotein d in human astroglial and oligodendroglial cells.
Apolipoprotein D (Apo D) is a secreted lipocalin in the nervous system that may be related to processes of reinnervation and regeneration. Under normal conditions, Apo D is present in the central nervous system in oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, and some scattered neurons. To elucidate the regional and cellular distribution of Apo D in normal human brain, we performed double immunohistochemistry ...
متن کاملNutritional regulation of adipose tissue apolipoprotein E expression.
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a multifunctional protein that is highly expressed in human and murine adipose tissue. Endogenous adipocyte apoE expression influences adipocyte triglyceride turnover and modulates the expression of genes involved in lipid synthesis and oxidation. We now demonstrate the regulation of adipose tissue apoE expression by nutritional status in lean and obese mice. Obesity ...
