Semaphorin 3A and 3F: key players in myelin repair in multiple sclerosis?
The presence of demyelinated plaques in the central nervous system is the hallmark of multiple sclerosis (MS). Some plaques remyelinate but others do not, leaving permanent damage. The reasons for this failure of repair are many, but one possible reason is the lack of migration of oligodendrocyte precursor cells to the lesion. The guidance molecules Semaphorin 3A and 3F, already known to direct...
متن کاملSerum and Saliva Myelin Basic Protein as Multiple Sclerosis Biomarker
Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is presented with motor and sensory function loss. It is caused by demyelination and following axonal lesion. As myelin basic protein (MBP) is one of the key elements of the myelin cover, we examined the level of MBP in serum, stimulated, and unstimulated saliva as a suitable biomarker for detecting MS. Methods: A case-control study was performed in 29 health...
متن کاملNerve , Myelin , and Multiple Sclerosis
Those who investigate the nervous system may do so at a variety of different levels. The student of behavior may spend much time in the observation of behaving animals. The neurophysiologist who is interested in the mechanisms underlying our senses, such as hearing or vision, concentrates on those areas of the brain that are specialized for these particular functions . In this account I would l...
متن کاملClass 3 semaphorins influence oligodendrocyte precursor recruitment and remyelination in adult central nervous system.
Oligodendrocyte precursor cells, which persist in the adult central nervous system, are the main source of central nervous system remyelinating cells. In multiple sclerosis, some demyelinated plaques exhibit an oligodendroglial depopulation, raising the hypothesis of impaired oligodendrocyte precursor cell recruitment. Developmental studies identified semaphorins 3A and 3F as repulsive and attr...
متن کاملHormonal regulation and distinct functions of semaphorin-3B and semaphorin-3F in ovarian cancer.
Semaphorins comprise a family of molecules that influence neuronal growth and guidance. Class-3 semaphorins, semaphorin-3B (SEMA3B) and semaphorin-3F (SEMA3F), illustrate their effects by forming a complex with neuropilins (NP-1 or NP-2) and plexins. We examined the status and regulation of semaphorins and their receptors in human ovarian cancer cells. A significantly reduced expression of SEMA...
