Reelin mRNA expression during mouse brain development

The European Journal of Neuroscience

Abstract

Using in situ hybridization, expression of the mRNA for reelin, the gene most probably responsible for the reeler trait, was studied during mouse brain development, from embryonic day 13 to maturity. The highest level of expression was found in Cajal-Retzius neurons, while a high signal was also seen in the olfactory bulb, the external granular layer of the cerebellum and, particularly at early developmental stages, in hypothalamic differentiation fields, tectum and spinal cord. A moderate to low level of expression was found in the septal area, striatal fields, habenular nuclei, some thalamic nuclei, particularly the lateral geniculate, the retina and some nuclei of the reticular formation in the central field of the medulla. Paradoxically, no reelin expression was detected in radial glial cells, the cortical plate, Purkinje cells, inferior olivary neurons and many other areas that are characteristically abnormal in reeler mutant mice. Together with other preliminary studies, the present observations suggest that the action of reelin is indirect, possibly mediated by the extracellular matrix. Most of the data can be explained by supposing that reelin is a cell-repulsive molecule which prevents migrating neurons from invading r...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.
