Localization of semaphorin 3A in the rat cornea

Experimental Eye Research, 2008
Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) functions to guide the growth of neurons during development. We investigated the localization of Sema3A in the cornea, one of the most sensitive tissues in the body. Immunoblot analysis and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that Sema3A protein and mRNA are expressed in the normal rat cornea ...

The Responsiveness of Thymic Stromal Cells to semaphorin-3A

Immunological Investigations, 2020
The thymus is responsible for thymocyte differentiation into immunocompetent T lymphocytes. Different cell types in the thymic microenvironment actively cooperate in this process, interacting with the developing thymocytes through soluble factors, extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules, and receptors.

Semaphorin 3A is a chemoattractant for cortical apical dendrites

Nature, 2000
The apical dendrites of pyramidal neurons integrate inputs from various cortical layers and are central to information processing. Here we show that the growth of apical dendrites towards the pial surface is regulated by a diffusible chemoattractant present at high levels near the marginal zone. A major component of this signal is semaphorin 3A (Sema3A)

Semaphorin 3A expression in the colon of Hirschsprung disease

Birth Defects Research Part A: Clinical and Molecular Teratology, 2011
AbstractBACKGROUNDHirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a congenital disorder characterized by an absence of intrinsic ganglion cells in the nerve plexuses of the lower colon. The Semaphorin 3A (SEMA3A) gene is involved in the migration of enteric neural precursors (ENPs).

Regulation of dendritic length and branching by semaphorin 3A

Journal of Neurobiology, 2004
AbstractThe molecular mechanisms that control dendritic development are still unclear. Semaphorin 3A, a class III semaphorin, has been shown to regulate the radial orientation of pyramidal neurons in the developing neocortex. Here, we investigate the effects of Sema3A on the development of dendritic topology.

Overexpression of semaphorin 3A in patients with urothelial cancer

Urologic Oncology: Seminars and Original Investigations, 2018
A highly sensitive and specific urine marker for the detection of recurrent urothelial cancer and for screening healthy population or people at risk for urothelial cancer has not been found yet. As urine cytology is not sensitive enough, patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer need lifelong follow-up involving multiple invasive cystoscopies ...

Semaphorin-3A: a promising therapeutic tool in allergic rhinitis

Immunologic Research, 2022
Semaphorin-3A (Sema-3A), a secreted member of the semaphorin family, is well known for playing regulatory functions at all stages of the immune response. Sema-3A transduces signals by binding to its cognate receptors, namely, class A plexins (Plxns A1 to A4) and neuropilin-1 (Nrp-1).

Emerging role of semaphorin-3A in autoimmune diseases

Inflammopharmacology, 2018
Autoimmune diseases (ADs) are featured by the body's immune responses being directed against its own tissues, resulting in prolonged inflammation and subsequent tissue damage. Currently, the exact pathogenesis of ADs remains not fully elucidated. Semaphorin-3A (Sema3A), a secreted member of semaphorin family, is a potent immunoregulator during all ...

Semaphorin 3A on Osteoporosis: An Overreview of the Literature

Calcified Tissue International
Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) is a signaling protein that has attracted increasing attention in recent years for its important role in regulating bone metabolism. In this review, we searched different databases with various combinations of keywords to analyze the effects of Sema3A on osteoporosis. Sema3A promotes bone formation and inhibits bone resorption by

Semaphorin 3A: Is a key player in the pathogenesis of asthma

Clinical Immunology, 2017
Immune semaphorins are key players in regulating immune mediated inflammation. Semaphorin3A (sema3A) a secreted and membrane bound member of this family, is well reported for its properties in maintaining self-tolerance. Semaphorin3A was recognized to be a marker for T-regulatory cells (Tregs), and as such is a useful tool for assessing the status of ...
