Axonal elongation is one of the hallmarks neuronal polarization. This phenomenon requires axonal membrane growth by exocytosis plasmalemmal precursor vesicles (PPVs) at nerve cone, a process regulated IGF-1 activation PI3K (phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase) pathway. Few details are known, however, about targeting mechanisms for PPVs. Here, we show, in cultured hippocampal pyramidal neurons and cones isolated from fetal rat brain, that activates GTP-binding protein TC10, which triggers...

Delta-catenin is a synaptic adherens junction protein pivotally positioned to serve as signaling sensor and integrator. Expression of delta-catenin induces filopodia-like protrusions in neurons. Here we show that the small GTPases Rho family act coordinately downstream effectors delta-catenin. A dominant negative Rac prevented delta-catenin-induced protrusions, Cdc42 activity was dramatically increased by expression. kinase dead LIMK (LIM kinase) mutant Cofilin also protrusions. To link...

Abstract A well-balanced chromatin dynamic is vital for the survival and physiology of all cells, including brain neurons. Heterochromatin, commonly associated with transcriptional silencing, also plays significant roles in maintaining genomic stability facilitating DNA-repair processes. Notably, bimethylation histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9me2), a hallmark repressive heterochromatin, supports axonal specification However, neuronal maintenance H3K9me2 equilibrium remains understudied. In this...

In this study, we have examined the effects of rotenone in primary cultures hippocampal and dopaminergic neurons order to obtain insights into possible mechanisms underlying neurotoxic pesticide. The results obtained indicate that a 48-h exposure (0.1μM) produces complete selective suppression axon formation. This effect was dose dependent, not accompanied by changes microtubule organization, reversible after washout agrochemical from tissue culture medium. Interestingly, pull-down assays...

Abstract Mechanical stimuli play a key role in many cell functions such as proliferation, differentiation and migration. In the mammary gland, mechanical signals distension of epithelial cells due to udder filling are proposed be directly involved during lactation involution. However, evolution focal adhesions -specialized multiprotein complexes that mechanically connect with extracellular matrix- gland development, well influence involved, remains unclear. Here we present use an equibiaxial...

A bstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a critical role in the development of neural cells central nervous system (CNS). Human rosettes (hNRs) are radial cell structures that assemble from induced pluripotent stem (hiPSCs) and recapitulate some stages tube morphogenesis. Here we show hiPSCs hNRs secrete EVs (hiPSC-EVs hNR-EVs) with distinct protein cargoes. Remarkably, hNR-EVs carry neuronal glial cellular components involved CNS development. By silico analysis, found signature is...

Neurons are highly polarized cells requiring precise regulation of trafficking and targeting membrane proteins to generate maintain different specialized compartments, such as axons dendrites. Disruption the Golgi apparatus (GA) secretory pathway in developing neurons alters axon/dendritic formation. Therefore, detailed knowledge mechanisms underlying vesicles exiting from GA is crucial for understanding neuronal polarity. In this study, we analyzed role Brefeldin A-Ribosylated Substrate...
