Quantification of dopaminergic neuron differentiation and neurotoxicity via a genetic reporter
Human pluripotent stem cells provide a powerful human-genome based system for modeling human diseases in vitro and for potentially identifying novel treatments. Directed differentiation of pluripotent stem cells produces many specific cell types including dopaminergic neurons. Here, we generated a genetic reporter assay in pluripotent stem cells using newly-developed genome editing technologies...
متن کاملMorphine regulates dopaminergic neuron differentiation via miR-133b.
Morphine is one of the analgesics used most to treat chronic pain, although its long-term administration produces tolerance and dependence through neuronal plasticity. The ability of morphine to regulate neuron differentiation in vivo has been reported. However, the detailed mechanisms have not yet been elucidated because of the inability to separate maternal influences from embryonic events. U...
متن کاملGenetic and epigenetic control of midbrain dopaminergic neuron development.
The relatively few dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the mammalian brain regulate many important neural functions, including motor integration, neuroendocrine hormone release, cognition, emotive behaviors and reward. A number of laboratories, including ours, have contributed to unravel the mechanisms of DA phenotype induction and maturation and elucidated the role of epigenetic factors involved in s...
متن کاملWnt1-regulated genetic networks in midbrain dopaminergic neuron development.
Neurons synthesizing the neurotransmitter dopamine exert crucial functions in the mammalian brain. The biggest and most important population of dopamine-synthesizing neurons is located in the mammalian ventral midbrain (VM), and controls and modulates the execution of motor, cognitive, affective, motivational, and rewarding behaviours. Degeneration of these neurons leads to motor deficits that ...
متن کاملCatalpol protects dopaminergic neurons from LPS-induced neurotoxicity in mesencephalic neuron-glia cultures.
Inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Microglia, the resident immune cells in the central nervous system, are pivotal in the inflammatory reaction. Activated microglia can induce expression of inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) and release significant amounts of nitric oxide (NO) and TNF-alpha, which can damage the dopaminergic neurons. Catalp...
