Fgf-R3 is expressed in a subset of chicken spinal motorneurons
نویسندگان
چکیده
The expression pattern of the fibroblast growth factor receptor Fgf-R1, R2 and R3 genes was studied in the chicken spinal cord using in situ hybridization (ISH). Unlike Fgf-R1 which is widely expressed in motoneurons, Fgf-R3 is expressed in a subset of motoneurons in the medial subdivision of the median motor column (MMCm) that also express Islet-1 and Lim-3. The motoneuron identity of the labelled cells was confirmed by double ISH and by single cell RT-PCR. Interestingly, E3.5 spinal cord motoneurons do not express Fgf-R3, suggesting the expression of Fgf-R3 in motoneurons begins with axonal growth.

Introduction : There are different applications for cooling in rehabilitation and there is also a controversy in results of applying ice on limb and its effects on motorneurons excitability. Methods : This study was done to determine the effect of applying controlled cooling (rubbing cold ointment with 3°C temperature) on the spinal skin (around T place of S root nerve) on the excitabili...

متن کاملMacrophages direct process elongation from adult frog motorneurons in culture.
Motorneurons and macrophages have been isolated and identified in primary cultures from adult frog (Rana pipiens) spinal cord. Time-lapse video microscopy revealed that during the first two weeks migrating macrophages contact the growth cones of motorneurons. As they continue to migrate, the motorneuron processes elongate in close association with the moving macrophages. Elongating motorneuron ...

In this study we evaluated the influence of gliatilin on the level of excitability of spinal motorneurons and on the functional state of peripheral part of the neuromotor system after spinal cord contusion. Two periods of a traumatic illness were evaluated with electromyography on dog's model. Compare with control animals, in group that received gliatilin we observed a stable level of excitabil...

Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord, thereby involving the arachnoid, the pia and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It is divided into viral and bacterial meningitis. For different reasons the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis is very important. The examination of CSF samples may provide information about causative microorganism. The sensivity of ...
