Vcp Overexpression and Leucine Supplementation Increase Protein Synthesis and Improve Fear Memory and Social Interaction of Nf1 Mutant Mice

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a dominant genetic disorder manifesting, in part, as cognitive defects. Previous study indicated that neurofibromin (NF1 protein) interacts with valosin-containing protein (VCP)/P97 to control dendritic spine ...

Modulation of the neurofibromatosis type 1 gene product, neurofibromin, during Schwann cell differentiation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Neurofibromin, the product of the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene, is a ∼250 kDa protein expressed predominantly in cortical neurons and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS) and sensory neurons and Schwann cells in the peripheral ...

Nuclear Isoforms of Neurofibromin Are Required for Proper Spindle Organization and Chromosome Segregation

open access: yesCells, 2020
Mitotic spindles are highly organized, microtubule (MT)-based, transient structures that serve the fundamental function of unerring chromosome segregation during cell division and thus of genomic stability during tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis ...

The kinetic mechanism of the interaction of p21ras with neurofibromin [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
This project involved examining the mechanism of interaction of the 21kDa guanine nucleotide binding protein, N-ras, with the catalytic domain of the GTPase-activating protein, neurofibromin.

The association between neural crest‐derived glia and melanocyte lineages throughout development and disease

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient cell population that emerges from the dorsal neural tube during neurulation and migrates extensively throughout the embryo. Among their diverse derivatives, glial cells (such as Schwann and satellite ganglionic cells) and melanocytes represent two major lineages. In vitro studies suggested they share a common

Neurofibromatosis in Children: Actually and Perspectives

open access: yesChildren, 2022
The three types of neurofibromatosis, namely type 1, type 2, and schwannomatosis, are generally associated with various benign tumors affecting the skin and the nervous system. On rare occasions, especially in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1),

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

Localization of Neurofibromin to Keratinocytes and Melanocytes in Developing Rat and Human Skin [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Pigmentation defects are common in the inherited disease type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1), predicting a role for the NF1 gene product, neurofibromin, in the skin.

Loss of neurofibromin induces inflammatory macrophage phenotypic switch and retinal neovascularization via GLUT1 activation

open access: yesCell Reports
Summary: Persons with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) exhibit enhanced glucose metabolism, which is replicated in Nf1-mutant mice. Inflammatory macrophages invest NF1-associated tumors, and targeting macrophages appears efficacious in NF1 models ...
