Plasmid PLXNA4 plexin A4 [ Homo sapiens (human) ] HpaI HindIII SspI BamHI Also known as: PLEXA4; PLXNA4A; BmtI NheI NotI PLXNA4B; FAYV2820; PRO34003 EagI BsiWI Summary: AMP EcoNI PLXNA4 is a member of the Plexin family of semaphorin signal transducers. It is found on sensory, COLE1 PshAI autonomic and motor neurons and oligodendrocytes, plus T cells and RDC1214 dendritic cells. PLXNA4 regulates cell 8431 bps Eco47III migration, activation, and axon XhoI guidance via repulsion. It serves as a PspXI SalI receptor for transmembrane XbaI BssHII NsiI semaphorins, Sema6A and 6B, and AscI hPlexin-A4 (1-1894) as a coreceptor with neuropilin 1 for the secreted semaphorin, Sema3A. NruI SphI Alternatively spliced transcripts AccIII encoding different proteins have been described.

Through Received 1 February 2013 interactions with their receptors, Plexins and Neuropilins, Semas play critical roles in a Accepted 6 February 2013 continuously growing list of diverse biological systems. In this review, we focus on their function in regulating vascular development. In addition, over the past few years a number of Keywords: findings have shown the crucial role that Semas and their receptors play in the regulation of Semaphorin cancer progression and tumor angiogenesis. In particular, Semas control tumor progression by Plexin directly influencing the behavior of cancer cells or, indirectly, by modulating angiogenesis and Neuropilin the function of other cell types in the tumor microenvironment (i.e., inflammatory cells and Angiogenesis fibroblasts). Some Semas can activate or inhibit tumor progression and angiogenesis, while Cancer others may have the opposite effect depending on specific post-translational modifications. Here Tumor we will also discuss the diverse biological effects of Semas and their receptor complexes on Development cancer progression as well as their impact on the tumor microenvironment. & Vasculature 2013 Elsevier Inc.

  • The Expression of Key Guidance Genes at a Forebrain Axon Turning Point Is Maintained by Distinct Fgfr Isoforms but a Common Downstream Signal Transduction Mechanism
    New Research Development The Expression of Key Guidance Genes at a Forebrain Axon Turning Point Is Maintained by Distinct Fgfr Isoforms but a Common Downstream Signal Transduction Mechanism Jung-Lynn Jonathan Yang, Gabriel E. Bertolesi, Stephanie Dueck, Carrie L. Hehr, and Sarah McFarlane https://doi.org/10.1523/ENEURO.0086-19.2019 Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, Hotchkiss Brain Institute, Alberta Children’s Hospital Research Institute, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta T2N 4N1, Canada Abstract During development the axons of neurons grow toward and locate their synaptic partners to form functional neural circuits. Axons do so by reading a map of guidance cues expressed by surrounding tissues. Guidance cues are expressed at a precise space and time, but how guidance cue expression is regulated, and in a coordinated manner, is poorly understood. Semaphorins (Semas) and Slits are families of molecular ligands that guide axons. We showed previously that fibroblast growth factor (Fgf) signaling maintains sema3a and slit1 forebrain expres- sion in Xenopus laevis, and these two repellents cooperate to guide retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons away from the mid-diencephalon and on towards the optic tectum. Here, we investigate whether there are common features of the regulatory pathways that control the expression of these two guidance cues at this single axon guidance decision point. We isolated the sema3a proximal promoter and confirmed its responsiveness to Fgf signaling. Through misexpression of truncated Fgf receptors (Fgfrs), we found that sema3a forebrain expression is dependent on Fgfr2-4 but not Fgfr1. This is in contrast to slit1, whose expression we showed previously depends on Fgfr1 but not Fgfr2-4.

    © 2014 Jonathan Guo-Han Mun HYPOGLYCEMIA-INDUCED CHANGES IN GLUCOSE METABOLISM IN THE HYPOTHALAMUS BY JONATHAN GUO-HAN MUN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Nutritional Sciences in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Rodney W. Johnson, Chair Professor J. Lee Beverly, Director of Research Associate Professor Justin S. Rhodes Associate Professor Manabu T. Nakamura ABSTRACT Hypoglycemia is the most common acute complication associated with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (Type 1 and advanced Type 2), which affects 300,000-500,000 individuals of all ages in the United States, with 30,000 new cases each year (1). It is characterized by low blood glucose concentration (less than 70 mg/dL or 4 mM) that can be attributed to a mismatch of insulin, food intake, sleep, and physical activity and can result in serious morbidity or death (2). The glucose counterregulatory response is the primary defense against hypoglycemia and involves (A) secretion of epinephrine and glucagon to elevate blood glucose concentration and (B) sympathetic activation to prompt the individual to take action against hypoglycemia through symptoms that include hunger, shaking, rapid heart rate, and sweating (2). Recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia result in failure of the counterregulatory response, which increases the frequency and severity of subsequent hypoglycemia. The underlying physiology by which this occurs is not well understood (3), but changes occurring in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), a brain region that is responsible for initiating the counterregulatory response to hypoglycemia (4) is the most promising target.

Biology Direct (2018) 13:17 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13062-018-0222-9 RESEARCH Open Access Integration of multiple types of genetic markers for neuroblastoma may contribute to improved prediction of the overall survival Aneta Polewko-Klim1*, Wojciech Lesinski´ 1, Krzysztof Mnich2, Radosław Piliszek2 andWitoldR.Rudnicki1,2,3 Abstract Background: Modern experimental techniques deliver data sets containing profiles of tens of thousands of potential molecular and genetic markers that can be used to improve medical diagnostics. Previous studies performed with three different experimental methods for the same set of neuroblastoma patients create opportunity to examine whether augmenting gene expression profiles with information on copy number variation can lead to improved predictions of patients survival. We propose methodology based on comprehensive cross-validation protocol, that includes feature selection within cross-validation loop and classification using machine learning. We also test dependence of results on the feature selection process using four different feature selection methods. Results: The models utilising features selected based on information entropy are slightly, but significantly, better than those using features obtained with t-test. The synergy between data on genetic variation and gene expression is possible, but not confirmed. A slight, but statistically significant, increase of the predictive power of machine learning models has been observed for models built on combined data sets. It was found while using both out of bag estimate and in cross-validation performed on a single set of variables. However, the improvement was smaller and non-significant when models were built within full cross-validation procedure that included feature selection within cross-validation loop.
