Q

Retrograde transport

A

Motor: Dynein,
Neurotrophic factors (NGF), rabies virus

25
Q

neuron reaction to injury

A

Chromatolysis
Wallerian degeneration

26
Q

Neuron cell body reaction to injury

A

“Chromatolysis” = Chromatolysis is a reactive change that occurs in the cell body of damaged neurons, involving the dispersal and redistribution of Nissl substance (rough endoplasmic reticulum and polyribosomes) in order to meet an increased demand for protein synthesis such as is required to regenerate axons.

Nuclear eccentricity
Cell swelling
Dispersed Nissl substance

27
Q

Wallerian degeneration

A

Wallerian (orthograde) degeneration is axonal degeneration occurring distal to the site of injury.
Wallerian degeneration is an active process of retrograde degeneration of the distal end of an axon that is a result of a nerve lesion. It occurs between 7 to 21 days after the lesion occurs. After the 21st day, acute nerve degeneration will show on the electromyograph

28
Q

Process of nerve regeneration

A
  1. Degeneration
  2. Phagocytosis by macrophages and Schwann cells
  3. Schwann proliferation
  4. regeneration of axon along endoneurial tube
29
Q

Neutrophin family receptors…

A

Tyrosine kinase

30
Q

NGF Nerve growth factor

A

Stimulates cholinergic forebrain neurons. May help in Alzheimer’s patients.
The NGF gene provides instructions for making a protein called nerve growth factor beta (NGFβ). This protein is important in the development and survival of nerve cells (neurons), especially those that transmit pain, temperature, and touch sensations (sensory neurons).

31
Q

BDNF, NT-3, NT-4

A

Neutrophins

32
Q

NGF pathway

A
  1. Ras-MAP
  2. Phospholipase C
  3. Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)

This happens by retrograde transport from axon, stimualting growth survival and neuronal differentiation.

33
Q

Where are adult neural stem cells found?

A
  1. Subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus
  2. SVZ of lateral ventricles
34
Q

Symmetrical vs asymmetrical cell division

A

Symmetrical is for growing the NP pool.
Asymmetrical is for dividing into radial glia and neurons.

35
Q

What came first: neurons or glia?

A

Neurogenesis occurs first, then gliogenesis.

36
Q

How do glia cells develop?

A

Multipotent stem cells become glial progenitors, which start differentiating into astrocytes via Notch activation.
The astrocytes release PDFG, NT-3 which causes oligodendrocyte progenitor cell proliferation. After a while, cell cycle inhibitor p27Kip1 accumulates and tells them to stop dividing and start maturing.

37
Q

How do neural crest cells differentiate?

A

Proneural genes are activated by AMP from aorta, becoming SA progenitor.

SA progenitor becomes sympathetic neurons if activated by bFGF, but will become chromaffin cells if the are activated by glucocorticoids in adrenal gland.

38
Q

BMP2

A

Crest cells become neurons

39
Q

Neuregulin/GGF2

A

Crest cells become glia

A

80%

41
Q

What is the most abundant cell in the CNS?

A

Can be used in immunostain to find astrocytomas.

43
Q

Which glia produces neurotrophic factors?

A

Astrocytes

44
Q

Which glia induces BBB?

A

Astrocytes

45
Q

Schwann cell origin

A

Neural crest, same as skin melanocytes

Improves integrity of BBB

47
Q

A

Microglia

48

Ciliated cuboidal epithelial cells
They line the ventricles and central canal.
Gap junctions.

49
Q

Lens and cornea developed from ….

A

Ectoderm

50
Q

Anterior pituitary developed from …

A

Ectoderm

51
Q

Retina developed from …

A

Neural tube

52
Q

The notochord develops from …

A

Mesoderm

53
Q

When does the neural tissue know that it will become NS?

A

Gastrula phase

54
Q

Does the involuting mesoderm responsible for neural tube induction become a part of the NS?

A

No. It disintegrates.

55
Q

Noggin

A

the first neural inducer identified

Noggin was capable of specifically inducing neural genes, without inducing mesodermal genes.

Works by disinhibiting neuron formation.

56
Q

Follistatin, Chordin

A

Inhibits TGF-beta along with Noggin. Works by disinhibiting neuron formation.

57
Q

What is the chemical that adjacent cells use to inhibit neuron formation?

A

BMP induces epidermal cell lines by activating Smad second messenger.

58
Q

What gene is responsible for neural induction?

A

bHLH genes
basic Helix-Loop-Helix transcription factors

Remark: in chicks, the ligand responsible for activating these genes is FGF
