Olfactory Tuft Cells Are Critical to Basal Inflammation, Innate Immune Response to Viral Infection, and Modulation of Quiescent Stem Cell Activation, Proliferation and Differentiation

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Olfactory tuft cells communicate with other mucosal cells in maintaining olfactory epithelial immunity and sensory function. Disruption of tuft cell signalling pathways causes a skewed immune response, leading to heightened inflammation and increased activation of the quiescent stem cells, which are further exacerbated by viral infection.

The Role of Pax6 in Brain Patterning.

open access: yesThe Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2001
Pax6 g ene encodes a transcription factor that plays a pivotal role in various aspects of brain development. Here I review the molecular and cellular mechanisms of how the early brain is patterned, and introduce recent studies on the role of Pax6 in brain patterning, neuronal specification, neuronal migration and axonal extension.

Pαx6 expression in postmitotic neurons mediates the growth of axons in response to SFRP1.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
During development, the mechanisms that specify neuronal subclasses are coupled to those that determine their axonal response to guidance cues. Pax6 is a homedomain transcription factor required for the specification of a variety of neural precursors ...

The developmental regulator Pax6 is essential for maintenance of islet cell function in the adult mouse pancreas.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The transcription factor Pax6 is a developmental regulator with a crucial role in development of the eye, brain, and olfactory system. Pax6 is also required for correct development of the endocrine pancreas and specification of hormone producing ...

Iloperidone treatment mitigates the Juvenile Huntington's Disease phenotype possibly via Sigma‐1 Receptor Modulation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We investigated the potential of iloperidone as an activator of Sigma‐1 receptor (S1R) neuroprotective function in juvenile Huntington's disease (jHD). We tested iloperidone on cortical neurons differentiated from patient‐derived iPSCs, demonstrating that it acts as a S1R agonist, decreasing apoptosis, huntingtin aggregation, and oxidative stress ...

Lateral cortical Cdca7 expression levels are regulated by Pax6 and influence the production of intermediate progenitors

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2017
Background We studied whether regulation of Cdca7 (Cell division cycle associated 7) expression by transcription factor Pax6 contributes to Pax6’s cellular actions during corticogenesis.

Pattern‐based interpretation of SOX2 expression in ovarian teratomas: avoiding diagnostic pitfalls in the distinction between immature and mature neuroectodermal elements

open access: yesHistopathology, EarlyView.
Ovarian immature teratoma grading may be confounded by mature neuroectodermal mimics. SOX2 labelled immature neuroepithelium but also mature ependymal and glial tissue, while SALL4 was negative in mature mimics and variably expressed in immature neuroepithelium.

FMNL2 with functions related to the cytoskeleton is partially regulated by PAX6

open access: yesJournal of Ophthalmic & Vision Research, 2017
Purpose: We aimed to assess whether the transcription factor PAX6 affects transcription of FMNL2. PAX6 is a transcription factor with significant roles in development of the eye and eye-related functions.

Proteostasis in the regulation of pancreatic islet cell plasticity

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Adaptive proteostasis integrates protein synthesis, folding, trafficking, and degradation through ISR, UPR, ER stress responses, autophagy, and proteasomal degradation. In pancreatic islet cells, this coordinated network preserves protein quality, secretory function, proliferation, and survival, enabling adaptation to metabolic stress and aging while ...

Not for the eyes only: PAX6 and glucose metabolism [PDF]

open access: yesDiabetologia, 2009
Paired box 6 (PAX6) is a member of the PAX multigene family of transcription factors: this family regulates embryonic differentiation. Nine unlinked PAX genes dispersed throughout the genome encode proteins that each include a 128-amino-acid sequence-specific highly conserved DNA-binding domain, the Paired box, which can regulate the expression of ...
