Central nervous system injury-induced repulsive guidance molecule expression in the adult human brain.
BACKGROUND The repulsive guidance molecule (RGM) is involved in formation of the central nervous system during development by moderating the repulsion of growing axons. However, the role of RGM in adult central nervous system lesions remains to be clarified. OBJECTIVE To identify and determine RGM expression in adult brains with focal cerebral ischemia or traumatic brain injury and in neuropa...
متن کاملThe role of repulsive guidance molecules in the embryonic and adult vertebrate central nervous system.
During the development of the nervous system, outgrowing axons often have to travel long distances to reach their target neurons. In this process, outgrowing neurites tipped with motile growth cones rely on guidance cues present in their local environment. These cues are detected by specific receptors expressed on growth cones and neurites and influence the trajectory of the growing fibres. Neu...
متن کاملHYPERVITAMINOSIS A-INDUCED CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEFECTS
In this investigation the effects of excess vitamin A administration during the early embryonic period were studied. Intramuscular injection of a single dose of 15000,20000 or 25000 IU/kg vitamin A to pregnant Balb/c strain mice on either day 7,8,9 or 10 of gestation (vaginal plug= day 0 of gestation) produced major malformations in the central nervous system (CNS) including exencephaly, h...
متن کاملChromophore-assisted laser inactivation of a repulsive axonal guidance molecule
BACKGROUND The axons of retinal ganglion neurons from a precise topographic map in the optic tectum in the midbrain, and the guidance of retinal axons by directional cues in the tectum is crucial in this process. Several in vitro systems have been developed in order to identify the molecular basis of these directional cues. Temporal, but not nasal, retinal axons avoid posterior tectal membranes...
متن کاملMidkine: A Promising Molecule for Drug Development to Treat Diseases of the Central Nervous System
Midkine (MK) is a heparin-binding cytokine, and promotes growth, survival, migration and other activities of target cells. After describing the general properties of MK, this review focuses on MK and MK inhibitors as therapeutics for diseases in the central nervous system. MK is strongly expressed during embryogenesis especially at the midgestation period, but is expressed only at restricted si...
