1. Hypoosmolality produces a dramatic inhibition of vasopressin (VP) and oxytocin (OT) gene expression in the supraoptic nucleus (SON). This study examines the effect of sustained hypoosmolality on global gene expression in the OT and VP magnocellular neurons (MCNs) of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system (HNS), in order to detect novel genes in this system that might be involved in osmoregulation in the MCNs.2. For this purpose, we used Affymetrix oligonucleotide arrays to analyze the expression of specific genes in laser microdissected rat SONs, and their changes in expression during chronic hypoosmolality. We identified over 40 genes that had three-fold or more greater expression in the SON versus total hypothalamus, and that also changed more than two fold in expression as a result of the chronic hypoosmolar treatment. These genes contained both novel as well as genes previously known to be present in the SON. All of the raw data for the genes that are expressed in the SON and altered by hypoosmolality can be found on the following NINDS website URL address: http://data.ninds.nih.gov/Gainer/Publications 相似文献

We have investigated gene expression changes produced by acute and chronic daily treatment with a prototypical antidepressant, imipramine, using DNA microarrays. The analysis of similarities in gene expression patterns among functionally related genes revealed four expression profile cluster areas that showed a highly significant overrepresentation of several functional classes. Genes encoding for proteins involved in cAMP metabolism, postsynaptic membrane proteins, and proto-oncogenes were overrepresented in different cluster areas. Furthermore, we found that serine proteases as a group were similarly regulated by chronic antidepressant treatment. Our data suggest that cAMP metabolism, synaptic function, and protein processing by serine proteases may be important targets of antidepressant treatment and potential objects for antidepressant drug development. 相似文献
