Maintains Terminal Differentiation in the Mouse Organ of Corti
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: In mammals, sensory hair cells and supporting cells that comprise the auditory epithelium (i.e. organ of Corti) lose the ability to proliferate or regenerate after embryogenesis and are considered terminally differentiated. Previously, it was demonstrated that deletion of p27 Kip1 , a cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor, extends the period of cellular proliferation beyond embryogenesis in the organ of Corti, resulting in supernumary supporting cells and

P-173: Evaluation of The Follicular Growth after Mouse Ovarian Organ Culture in The Medium Supplemented with Growth Differentiation Factor-9B (GDF-9B)
Background: Growth differentiation factor -9B (GDF-9B) is an oocyte derived growth factor, this protein is essential for development of ovarian follicles and act mainly by binding to its receptor on the surface of granulosa cells. The effect of this factor on the growth of follicles in various developmental stages particularly primordial and primary follicles is unknown. The aim of this study w...
متن کاملMaturation arrest in early postnatal sensory receptors by deletion of the miR-183/96/182 cluster in mouse.
The polycistronic miR-183/96/182 cluster is preferentially and abundantly expressed in terminally differentiating sensory epithelia. To clarify its roles in the terminal differentiation of sensory receptors in vivo, we deleted the entire gene cluster in mouse germline through homologous recombination. The miR-183/96/182 null mice display impairment of the visual, auditory, vestibular, and olfac...
متن کاملDistribution of Specific Glycoconjugates in Early Mouse Embryonic Notochord and Paraxial Mesenchyme
It is well known that glycoconjugate components of the cell surface and extracellular matrix, play an essential role(s) in many developmental phenomena such as cell differentiation, migration, and cellular interactions. The purpose of this study was to investigate distribution of this macromolecules during differentiation of the notochord and paraxial mesoderm. Formalin fixed paraffin sections ...
متن کاملThe Role of Glycoconjugates in Development of Floor Plate During Early Morphogenesis in Mouse Embryo
The floor plate is a small group of cells located at the ventral midline of neural tube. During early neurogenesis the floor plate plays critical role (s) in differentiation of ventral portion of neural tube.The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of glycoconjugates in floor plate as well as underlying mesoderm (notochord) and their inductive activities in mouse embryos.Form...
