Differential endothelial transcriptomics identifies semaphorin 3G as a vascular class 3 semaphorin.
OBJECTIVE To characterize the role of a vascular-expressed class 3 semaphorin (semaphorin 3G [Sema3G]). METHODS AND RESULTS Semaphorins have been identified as axon guidance molecules. Yet, they have more recently also been characterized as attractive and repulsive regulators of angiogenesis. Through a transcriptomic screen, we identified Sema3G as a molecule of angiogenic endothelial cells. ...
متن کاملAxon guidance molecules in vascular patterning.
Endothelial cells (ECs) form extensive, highly branched and hierarchically organized tubular networks in vertebrates to ensure the proper distribution of molecular and cellular cargo in the vertebrate body. The growth of this vascular system during development, tissue repair or in disease conditions involves the sprouting, migration and proliferation of endothelial cells in a process termed ang...
متن کاملDuplication of the SLIT3 Locus on 5q35.1 Predisposes to Major Depressive Disorder
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common psychiatric and behavioral disorder. To discover novel variants conferring risk to MDD, we conducted a whole-genome scan of copy number variation (CNV), including 1,693 MDD cases and 4,506 controls genotyped on the Perlegen 600K platform. The most significant locus was observed on 5q35.1, harboring the SLIT3 gene (P = 2×10(-3)). Extending the controls...
متن کاملAxon guidance and synaptic maintenance: preclinical markers for neurodegenerative disease and therapeutics.
Axon-guidance-pathway molecules are involved in connectivity and repair throughout life (beyond guiding brain wiring during fetal development). One study found that variations (single-nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs]) in axon-guidance-pathway genes were predictive of three Parkinson's disease (PD) outcomes (susceptibility, survival free of PD and age at onset of PD) in genome-wide association (G...
متن کاملVEGF Mediates Commissural Axon Chemoattraction through Its Receptor Flk1
Growing axons are guided to their targets by attractive and repulsive cues. In the developing spinal cord, Netrin-1 and Shh guide commissural axons toward the midline. However, the combined inhibition of their activity in commissural axon turning assays does not completely abrogate turning toward floor plate tissue, suggesting that additional guidance cues are present. Here we show that the pro...
