- Neural stem cells (NSCs) of the neuroepithelium differentiate into one of three central nervous system (CNS) cell lineages: neurons, astrocytes, or oligodendrocytes. In this study, the differentiation potential of NSCs from the forebrain of embryonic day 15 (E15) mouse embryos was analyzed using immunocytochemistry. NSCs were differentiated early in the presence or absence of ethanol (50 mM), and gene expression patterns among NSCs, differentiated cells and ethanol-treated differentiated cells were assessed by microarray and real-time PCR analysis. Genes that were up-regulated in differentiated cells both in the presence and in the absence of ethanol when compared to NSCs were related to the Wnt signaling pathway, including Ctnna1, Wnt5a, Wnt5b, Wnt7a, Fzd3, and Fzd2; genes related to cell adhesion, including Cadm1, Ncam1, and Ncam2; and genes encoding small heat shock proteins, including HspB2, HspB7, and HspB8. In particular, the expression levels of HspB2 and HspB7 were elevated in ethanol-treated differentiated cells compared to non-treated differentiated cells. The gene expression patterns of various heat shock transcription factors (HSFs), proteins that regulate the transcription of heat shock genes, were also analyzed. The expression levels of HSF2 and HSF5 increased in differentiated cells in the presence and absence of ethanol when compared to NSCs. Of these two genes, HSF5 demonstrated an enhanced up-regulation, particularly in ethanol-treated differentiated cells compared to cells that were differentiated in the absence of ethanol. These results imply that HspB2 and HspB7, which are small heat shock proteins with tissue-restricted expression profiles, might be up-regulated by ethanol during the short-term differentiation of NSCs. - Source: PubMed

Choi Mi RanJung Kyoung HwaPark Ji HyunDas Nando DulalChung Mi KyungChoi Ihn GeunLee Boung ChulPark Kyoung SunChai Young Gyu - Human chromosome 11q23.2 has been proposed to contain a tumor suppressor gene(s) whose deletion has been associated with cancer of the lung and breast and with neuroblastoma. To analyze the genomic structure and to isolate a candidate tumor suppressor gene from this region, we constructed a 2-Mb sequence-ready contig map using bacteriophage P1 (P1), bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC), and P1-derived artificial chromosome (PAC). The map comprises a contig of 24 overlapping P1, BAC, and PAC clones. To isolate gene fragments from the region, we performed direct cDNA library screening, exon trapping, EST mapping, and genomic sequencing using the P1, BAC, and PAC clones. Sequence analysis of 5 clones, which spans 23% (458,738 bp) of the region, and extensive gene scanning along the entire region revealed that the region is extraordinarily scarce in genes, but we identified one ubiquitously expressed novel gene and one testis-specific gene fragment. The novel gene, which we call IGSF4 (immunoglobulin superfamily 4), is transcribed into a 1.6- or 4.4-kb RNA encoding a 442-amino-acid protein. It shares strong homology with mouse IGSF-B12 and cell adhesion molecules NCAM1 and NCAM2 within their Ig-like C2-type domains. The IGSF4 gene, a novel gene that is shown to be located in the common loss of heterozygosity region, possesses a number of interesting features and may be good candidate for a tumor suppressor gene. - Source: PubMed
