Distribution of Acid Sensing Ion Channels in Axonal Growth Cones and Presynaptic Membrane of Cultured Hippocampal Neurons [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020 Although acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are widely expressed in the central nervous system, their distribution and roles in axonal growth cones remain unclear.

Semaphorin-3A Promotes Degradation of Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein in Growth Cones via the Ubiquitin-Proteasome Pathway [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2020 Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) is an RNA-binding protein that regulates local translation in dendrites and spines for synaptic plasticity. In axons, FMRP is implicated in axonal extension and axon guidance.

Local Translation in Growth Cones and Presynapses, Two Axonal Compartments for Local Neuronal Functions [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2020 During neural development, growth cones, very motile compartments of tips of axons, lead axonal extension to the correct targets. Subsequently, presynapses, another axonal compartment with vigorous trafficking of synaptic vesicles, emerge to form ...

Coactosin Promotes F-Actin Protrusion in Growth Cones Under Cofilin-Related Signaling Pathway [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 During brain development, axon outgrowth and its subsequent pathfinding are reliant on a highly motile growth cone located at the tip of the axon. Actin polymerization that is regulated by actin-depolymerizing factors homology (ADF-H) domain-containing ...

Herpes simplex virus-1 utilizes the host actin cytoskeleton for its release from axonal growth cones. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2022 Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) has evolved mechanisms to exploit the host cytoskeleton during entry, replication and exit from cells. In this study, we determined the role of actin and the molecular motor proteins, myosin II and myosin V, in the ...

Time-Lapse Super-Resolution Imaging and Optical Manipulation of Growth Cones in Elongating Axons and Migrating Neurons [PDF]
Bio-ProtocolThe growth cone is a highly motile tip structure that guides axonal elongation and directionality in differentiating neurons. Migrating immature neurons also exhibit a growth cone–like structure (GCLS) at the tip of the leading process.

Varicones and growth cones: two neurite terminals in PC12 cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The rat adrenal pheochromocytoma PC12 cell line is one of the traditional models for the study of neurite outgrowth and growth cone behavior. To clarify to what extent PC12 neurite terminals can be compared to neuronal growth cones, we have analyzed ...

CNP-induced cGMP signaling reduces growth cone stiffness and Ca2+ levels in embryonic DRG neurons [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular NeuroscienceA cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling pathway composed of the extracellular ligand C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), the transmembrane natriuretic peptide receptor 2 (Npr2), and the cGMP-dependent protein kinase I (cGKI) regulates axon ...
