MICRORNA NETWORKS INVOLVED IN NEURAL STEM CELLS MAINTENANCE
Vol 32, Issue 4S1, 2018
Abstract
Neural Stem Cell (NSC) maintenance is of great interest since NSCs can be used to treat impairedcells and tissues or improve regenerative power of degenerating cells in neurodegenerative diseases orspinal cord injuries. Under maintenance conditions, NSCs require Hedgehog-Gli (Hh-Gli) signallingand express a number of stemness genes (e.g. Nanog, Oct4, Sox2) whose mechanisms of regulation havebeen investigated. However the interplay between other transcription factors and NSC maintenanceis still being charted. Technological advances allow us to use next generation RNA sequencing (RNAseq),a powerful method for quantifying steady-state mRNA expression levels and detecting alternativesplicing events in transcriptomes.
