Neuronal production of fibronectin in the cerebral cortex during migration and layer formation is unique to specific cortical domains

Abstract

The distribution of fibronectin (FN) changes rapidly during early development of the cerebral cortex, but its cellular source is not known. With in situ hybridization we find two spatially and temporally distinct periods of FN mRNA expression in the embryonic and early postnatal cortex of the mouse. Before and during formation of the preplate by the first postmitotic neurons, FN mRNA levels are high throughout the telencephalic vesicle, deep in the neuroepithelial proliferative zone that contains dividing cells and the cell bodies of radial glia; expression in the cortical proliferative zone is limited to the period of neurogenesis. Just after the cortical plate is formed within the preplate, FN mRNA is expressed in the intermediate zone, which contains migrating neurons, and in the cortical plate, where neurons migrate past their predecessors to form layers. Brefeldin A treatment of an organotypic slice preparation demonstrates FN production in the intermediate zone and cortical plate, in locations that correspond exactly to the distribution of FN mRNA by in situ hybridization. FN-producing cells immunolabel with neuron-specific markers; in the intermediate zone and lower cortical plate they have morphological features charact...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
