nervous system
|
• at E10.5, embryos show reduced proliferation of neuronal progenitor cells along with early disruptions in NTRK2 (TRKB) isoform balance, indicating defects in early neurogenesis
• however, embryos remain viable beyond early neurogenesis, exhibiting normalized protein levels of both the full-length receptor (TRKB-FL) and the truncated isoform (TRKB-T1, a dominant-negative form of TRKB-FL that inhibits BDNF signaling) along with a shift towards increased mRNA expression of TRKB-T1 by E14.5
|
|
• at E10.5 (early stage of neurogenesis), embryos exhibit decreased proliferation of neuronal progenitor cells, as indicated by decreased Ki-67 expression
• defect in neuronal progenitor proliferation persists at E14.5 (mid stage of neurogenesis)
|
homeostasis/metabolism
|
• at E10.5, embryos show decreased protein levels of both the full-length receptor (TRKB-FL) and the truncated isoform (TRKB-T1) generated by alternative splicing of the Ntrk2 (neurotrophic tyrosine kinase, receptor, type 2) gene, unlike in wild-type embryos where protein levels of both isoforms are increased; both genotypes show no signs of synapse formation at E10.5, as indicated by absence of synaptophysin (SYP) expression (a marker of synaptic plasticity)
• although protein levels of TRKB-FL, TRKB-T1, and SYP are comparable to those in wild-type embryos by E14.5, mRNA levels of TRKB-T1 are elevated while mRNA levels or TRKB-FL are significantly reduced relative to wild-type controls
