Cortical Structure Alterations and Social Behavior Impairment in p50-Deficient Mice
Alterations in genes that regulate neurodevelopment can lead to cortical malformations, resulting in malfunction during postnatal life. The NF-κB pathway has a key role during neurodevelopment by regulating the maintenance of the neural progenitor cell pool and inhibiting neuronal differentiation. In this study, we evaluated whether mice lacking the NF-κB p50 subunit (KO) present alterations in...
متن کاملSocial, communication, and cortical structural impairments in Epac2-deficient mice.
Deficits in social and communication behaviors are common features of a number of neurodevelopmental disorders. However, the molecular and cellular substrates of these higher order brain functions are not well understood. Here we report that specific alterations in social and communication behaviors in mice occur as a result of loss of the EPAC2 gene, which encodes a protein kinase A-independen...
متن کاملThymic alterations in EphA4-deficient mice.
In the present work, we have demonstrated in vivo an altered maturation of the thymic epithelium that results in defective T cell development which increases with age, in the thymus of Eph A4-deficient mice. The deficient thymi are hypocellular and show decreased proportions of double-positive (CD4+CD8+) cells which reach minimal numbers in 4-wk-old thymi. The EphA4 (-/-) phenotype correlates w...
متن کاملAlterations in the brain adenosine metabolism cause behavioral and neurological impairment in ADA-deficient mice and patients
Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) deficiency is an autosomal recessive variant of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) caused by systemic accumulation of ADA substrates. Neurological and behavioral abnormalities observed in ADA-SCID patients surviving after stem cell transplantation or gene therapy represent an unresolved enigma in the field. We found significant neurological and cognitive alteratio...
متن کاملFeeding behavior in dopamine-deficient mice.
Mice that cannot make dopamine (DA), a condition caused by the selective inactivation of tyrosine hydroxylase in dopaminergic neurons, are born normal but gradually become hypoactive and hypophagic, and die at 3 weeks of age. We characterized the feeding and locomotor responses of these DA-deficient (DA-/-) mice to 3, 4-dihyroxy-L-phenylalanine (L-DOPA) to investigate the relationship between b...
