Nucleus- and cell-specific gene expression in monkey thalamus.
Nuclei of the mammalian thalamus are aggregations of neurons with unique architectures and input-output connections, yet the molecular determinants of their organizational specificity remain unknown. By comparing expression profiles of thalamus and cerebral cortex in adult rhesus monkeys, we identified transcripts that are unique to dorsal thalamus or to individual nuclei within it. Real-time q...
متن کاملNucleus-specific expression of GABA(A) receptor subunit mRNAs in monkey thalamus.
Expression of 10 GABAA receptor subunit genes was examined in monkey thalamus by in situ hybridization using cRNA probes specific for alpha 1, alpha 2, alpha 3, alpha 4, alpha 5, beta 1, beta 2, beta 3, gamma 1, and gamma 2 subunit mRNAs. These displayed unique hybridization on patterns with significant differences from rodents. Alpha 1, beta 2, and gamma 2 transcripts were expressed at high le...
متن کاملNucleus-specific chloride homeostasis in rat thalamus.
Synchronous thalamic network activity occurring during slow wave sleep and paroxysmal discharges critically depends on the ability of thalamocortical relay cells and inhibitory neurons of the nucleus reticularis thalami (nRt) to fire bursts of action potentials. Inhibitory synaptic potentials (IPSPs) originating from nRt cells are crucial in deinactivating T-channels and thus promoting burst fi...
متن کاملTissue Specific Expression of Human Calcitonin Gene in Potato Tubers by an Organ Specific Promoter
To increase the production level of heterologous proteins in plants, strategies such as choice of strongerpromoters, optimization of codon usage and specific localization of foreign proteins are of major concern.Calcitonin (CT), a 32 amino acid polypeptide is a powerful and specific inhibitor of bone resorption and isused to treat several human diseases. Calcitonin activity is...
متن کاملOrgan-specific gene expression in the rhesus monkey eye following intravenous non-viral gene transfer.
PURPOSE The transfer of exogenous genes to the entire retina and other ocular structures is possible with a vascular route of gene delivery using a non-viral gene transfer method. The present studies examine the extent to which either beta-galactosidase or luciferase expression plasmids are targeted to the retina in the adult rhesus monkey following intravenous administration. In addition, thes...
