This was accompanied by altered expression of a group of myelin-related genes, including a suite of genes causatively linked to the rare disease family ‘neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation’ (NBIA). Expanded data mining and ontological analyses have now identified additional myelin-related transcriptome changes in response to brain iron loading. Concordance between the mouse transcriptome changes and human myelin-related gene expression networks in normal and NBIA basal ganglia testifies to potential clinical relevance. These analyses implicate, among others, genes linked to various rare central hypomyelinating leukodystrophies and peripheral neuropathies including Pelizaeus-Merzbacher-like disease and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease as well as genes linked to other rare neurological diseases such as Niemann-Pick disease. The findings may help understand interrelationships of iron and myelin in more common conditions such as hemochromatosis, multiple sclerosis and various psychiatric disorders.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:58:00 AEST ]]> Cellular and molecular changes in the brain of the Hfe-/-xTfr2mut mouse, a model of human iron loading https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:22505 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:25:30 AEST ]]> Perturbed cholesterol homeostasis in aging spinal cord https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:30241 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:56:00 AEST ]]> Reduced neurosteroid exposure following preterm birth and its' contribution to neurological impairment: a novel avenue for preventative therapies https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:36900 Wed 02 Mar 2022 14:24:28 AEDT ]]> MR myelin imaging in multiple sclerosis: A scoping review https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54334 Tue 20 Feb 2024 16:06:06 AEDT ]]> Disruptions to the cerebellar GABAergic system in juvenile guinea pigs following preterm birth https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:35009 A receptor subunits were measured by RT-PCR. Results: MBP immunostaining was increased in lobule IX of preterm males, and reduced in lobule X of preterm females when compared to their term counterparts. GAD67 staining was decreased in lobule IX and X of the preterm males, but only in lobule X of the preterm females compared to term cohorts for each sex. Internal granule cell layer width of lobule X was decreased in preterm cohorts of both sexes compared to terms. There were no differences between gestational age groups for NeuN staining, GAD67 and GAT1 protein expression as measured by western blotting, or GABAA receptor subunits as measured by RT-PCR between preterm and term for either sex. Conclusions: The present findings suggest that components of the cerebellar GABAergic system of the ex-preterm cerebellum are disrupted. The higher expression of myelin in the preterm males may be due to a deficit in axonal pruning, whereas females have a deficit in myelination at 28 corrected days of age. Together these ongoing alterations may contribute to the neurodevelopmental and behavioural disorders observed in those born preterm.]]> Thu 30 May 2019 14:58:50 AEST ]]> Cleavage of myelin associated glycoprotein by matrix metalloproteinases https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:5434 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:48:15 AEDT ]]> Corticosterone administration alters white matter tract structure and reduces gliosis in the sub-acute phase of experimental stroke https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:40655 Fri 22 Jul 2022 14:02:02 AEST ]]>
