Description
Astrocytes react to brain injury in a heterogeneous manner with only a subset resuming proliferation and acquiring in vitro neural stem cell properties. In order to identify novel regulators of this astrocyte subset, we performed a genome-wide expression analysis of reactive astrocytes isolated 5 days after stab wound injury from the adult mouse cerebral cortex. The expression pattern was compared with astrocytes from normal cortex and adult neural stem cells isolated from the sub-ependymal zone (GSE18765). These comparisons revealed a set of genes up-regulated both in neurogenic neural stem cells and reactive astrocytes, including the lectins Galectin-1 and -3. These results, as well as the pattern of Galectin expression in the lesioned brain, led us to examine the functional significance of these lectins in brains of Galectin-1/3 double-knockout mice.

Description
The subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels regulate surface expression and gating of CaV1 and CaV2 1 subunits, and thus contribute to neuronal excitability, neurotransmitter release and calcium-induced gene regulation. In addition certain subunits are targeted into the nucleus, where they directly interact with the epigenetic machinery. Whereas their involvement in this multitude of functions is reflected by a great molecular heterogeneity of isoforms derived from four genes and abundant alternative splicing, little is known about the roles of individual variants in specific neuronal functions. In the present study, an alternatively spliced 4 subunit lacking the variable N-terminus (4e) is identified. It is highly expressed in mouse cerebellum and cultured cerebellar granule cells (CGC) and modulates P/Q-type calcium currents in tsA cells and CaV2.1 surface expression in neurons. Compared to the other two known full-length 4 variants (4a, 4b) 4e is most abundantly expressed in the distal axon, but lacks nuclear targeting properties. To examine the importance of nuclear targeting of 4 subunits for transcriptional regulation, we performed whole genome expression profiling of CGCs from lethargic mice individually reconstituted with 4a, 4b, and 4e. Notably, the number of genes regulated by each 4 splice variant correlated with the rank order of their nuclear targeting properties (4b> 4a> 4e). Together these findings support isoform-specific functions of 4 splice variant in neurons, with 4b playing a dual role in channel modulation and gene regulation, while the newly detected 4e variant serves exclusively in calcium channel-dependent functions.

Description
To test the regulatory effects of Dmrt5 on gene expression, we designed tetracycline inducible lines of Dmrt5 transgenic mouse ESCs. Overexpression of Dmrt5 was induced upon addition of Doxycycline (Dox). To evaluate the effects of Dmrt5 on gene expression in different stages of in vitro differentiated NPC derived from mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC), we analyzed gene expression profiles at differentiation day 7 and day 9 with or without Dox. The data revealed that overexpression of Dmrt5 in in vitro differentiated neural progenitor cells (NPC) regulates gene expression. Addition of Dox to the medium of the control cell line rtTA did not significantly alter gene expression profile, demonstrating that the observed effects were through induction of Dmrt5, but not simply through Dox.
