Actin cytoskeleton in dendritic spine

Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, 2007
樹状突起スパインは脳内の主要な興奮性シナプス後部であり，その形態および構成タンパク質の可塑的変化は学習記憶などの高次機能に重要である．スパイン内の構造体としては，シナプス後部肥厚（PSD）とアクチン細胞骨格があり，スパインの形態変化は主にアクチン細胞骨格により制御されている．スパイン内ではその頭部と頸部でアクチン線維の構造が異なることに加えて，頭部の中でもシナプス直下のPSD近傍と細胞質の中心領域でアクチン結合タンパク質の分布が異なる．したがって，スパインは3種類の性質の異なるアクチン細胞骨格によって構成されていると考えられる．アクチンを脱重合させると，多くのスパイン構成タンパク質の局在が不安定化し，スパイン形態もフィロポディア様に変化する．従って，アクチン細胞骨格がスパイン形態の形成 ...

Microglia Mitochondria Support Neuronal Maturation via Metabolic and Transcriptional Reprogramming in Human 3D In Vitro Brain Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
xx xx. ABSTRACT Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by disrupted neuronal circuit maturation. Emerging evidence implicates microglial function and mitochondrial regulation as contributors to ASD‐associated biology, yet the mechanisms linking these processes to neuronal development remain poorly defined ...

CREB Regulates Experience-Dependent Spine Formation and Enlargement in Mouse Barrel Cortex

Neural Plasticity, 2015
Experience modifies synaptic connectivity through processes that involve dendritic spine rearrangements in neuronal circuits. Although cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) has a key function in spines changes, its role in activity-dependent ...

CDK4/6 Inhibition Induces CD8+ T Cell Antitumor Immunity via MIF‐Induced Functional Orchestration of Tumor‐Associated Macrophages

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CDK4/6 inhibition promotes CD8+ T cell expansion through tumor‐macrophage crosstalk by activating HIF‐1α and enhancing MIF‐CD44/CD74 signaling. This reprograms TAMs to boost MHC‐I antigen presentation, and CDK4/6 inhibitor‐trained M1 TAM supernatant therapy synergizes with low‐dose PD‐1 blockade to restore antitumor immunity.

Assessing protein distribution and dendritic spine morphology relationships using structured illumination microscopy in cultured neurons

STAR Protocols
Summary: Dendritic spines are protrusions on dendrites forming the postsynaptic aspect of excitatory connections within the brain. Spine morphology is associated with synaptic functional strength and the spatial regulation of protein nanodomains within ...

Mesoscale Recovery of Microglial and Neuronal Dynamics After Craniotomy Across Wide Cortex in Transgenic Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study employs longitudinal fluorescence imaging in transgenic mice to map post‐craniotomy cortical recovery. We identify distinct neuroimmune recovery phases: microglial structural inflammation peaks at ∼10 days, neuronal structural intensity peaks at ∼14 days and correlates with microglial activity, and functional network modularity is most ...

Remodeling dendritic spines for treatment of traumatic brain injury

Neural Regeneration Research, 2019
Traumatic brain injury is an important global public health problem. Traumatic brain injury not only causes neural cell death, but also induces dendritic spine degeneration. Spared neurons from cell death in the injured brain may exhibit dendrite damage,

Network Plasticity as Bayesian Inference

, 2015
General results from statistical learning theory suggest to understand not only brain computations, but also brain plasticity as probabilistic inference. But a model for that has been missing.

Anti‐Apoptotic and Neurite‐Protective Nanomedicine Augments Embryonic Stem Cells‐Derived Retinal Ganglion Cell Transplantation in Glaucoma Recovery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lithium‐epigallocatechin gallate nanoparticles (Li‐EGCG NPs) are co‐transplanted with embryonic stem cell‐derived retinal ganglion cells (ESC‐RGCs) to enhance cell survival and therapeutic efficacy in an acute pathological glaucomatous injury model. This synergistic approach protects RGC cells, preserves retinal structure and improves visual function ...

Neuid: A Novel Neuron‐Enriched LncRNA that Connects Epigenetic Gene Silencing to Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing evidence that non‐coding RNAs can become deregulated during pathogenesis is dramatically expanding the space for drug discovery beyond the protein‐coding genome. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as key regulators of cellular function, yet most remain uncharacterized.
