Age-dependent fate and lineage restriction of single NG2 cells.
NG2-expressing glia (NG2 cells, polydendrocytes) appear in the embryonic brain, expand perinatally, and persist widely throughout the gray and white matter of the mature central nervous system. We have previously reported that NG2 cells generate oligodendrocytes in both gray and white matter and a subset of protoplasmic astrocytes in the gray matter of the ventral forebrain and spinal cord. To ...
متن کاملOlig2-dependent developmental fate switch of NG2 cells.
NG2-expressing cells (NG2 cells or polydendrocytes) generate oligodendrocytes throughout the CNS and a subpopulation of protoplasmic astrocytes in the gray matter of the ventral forebrain. The mechanisms that regulate their oligodendrocyte or astrocyte fate and the degree to which they exhibit lineage plasticity in vivo have remained unclear. The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor Olig...
متن کاملRetinoic Acid Determines the Fate of Spermatogonia
In this review, we aim to examine the effect of extrinsic and intrinsic factors on spermatogenesis process taking into account a complex signaling pathway. Primarily, it is suggested that retinoic acid (RA) has a vital function in spermatogenesis process and it is considered to be essential for completion of spermatogonia into mature spermatozoa. In the present review, the key effects of retino...
متن کاملCoreceptor gene imprinting governs thymocyte lineage fate
Immature thymocytes are bipotential cells that are signalled during positive selection to become either helper- or cytotoxic-lineage T cells. By tracking expression of lineage determining transcription factors during positive selection, we now report that the Cd8 coreceptor gene locus co-opts any coreceptor protein encoded within it to induce thymocytes to express the cytotoxic-lineage factor R...
متن کاملCell lineage and determination of cell fate in ascidian embryos.
A detailed cell lineage of ascidian embryos has been available since the turn of the century. This cell lineage was deduced from the segregation of pigmented egg cytoplasmic regions into particular blastomeres during embryogenesis. The invariant nature of the cell lineage, the segregation of specific egg cytoplasmic regions into particular blastomeres, and the autonomous development of most emb...
