Estudo das projeções hipotalâmicas para a região urocortinérgica do complexo oculomotor. / Study of the hypothalamic projections to the urocortinergic cells in the oculomotor complex.

Silva, André Valerio da 17 August 2010 (has links)
O neuropeptídeo urocortina 1 (UCN 1) tem entre os seus principais locais de expressão o núcleo de Edinger-Westphal (EW) e o núcleo lateral superior da oliva. Após sua descoberta, sugeriu-se que o EW e o núcleo paraventricular do hipotálamo (PVH) possuíssem papéis complementares e opostos na resposta ao estresse, porém, não existem trabalhos que relacionam anatomicamente núcleos hipotalâmicos e o EW. A fim de contribuir para esta área foi proposto o mapeamento das aferências hipotalâmicas do EW, através da injeção de Fluoro-Gold neste núcleo e posterior mapeamento de suas aferências. Os resultados encontrados foram: PVH, área hipotalâmica lateral (LHA) e o núcleo posterior do hipotálamo (PH) e outras regiões do sistema nervoso central. Para controle, o traçador anterógrado Amina Dextrana Biotinilada, foi injetado nos núcleos/áreas hipotalâmicas PVH, LHA e PH sendo encontradas fibras próximas as células urocortinérgicas do EW. Nossos dados mostram um possível envolvimento das células UCN 1 do EW com o controle de funções autonômicas e neuroendócrinas. / The neuropeptide urocortin 1 (UCN 1) has its main sites of expression at the Edinger-Westphal nucleus (EW) and the lateral superior olivary nucleus. After its discovery has suggested that EW and paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVH) have complementary and opposing roles in the stress response. However, there are no works relating anatomically the hypothalamic nuclei and EW. To contribute to this area we proposed mapping the hypothalamic afferents of the EW. We have used the Fluoro-Gold injected in the EW as a result of we have found retrogradely labeled cells in the following nuclei: PVH, lateral hypothalamic area (LHA), posterior hypothalamic nucleus (PH) and other regions of the central nervous system. For control, the anterograde tracer biotinylated dextran amine was injected into the nuclei/areas hypothalamic PVH, LHA, and PH we have found anterogradely labeled fibers in a very close apposition over urocortinergic cells at EW. Based on these data we are suggesting a involvement of cells with UCN 1 EW control of autonomic and neuroendocrine functions.

Estudio de los efectos de la reducción de la expresión de Dyrk1A, mediante interferencia de RNA, sobre el fenotipo motor del model transgénico TgDyrk1A. Implantación de kis receptores glutamatérgicos de tipo NMDA

Ortiz Abalia, Jon 15 May 2008 (has links)
DYRK1A es uno de los principales genes candidatos que podrían explicar algunos de los defectos neurológicos asociados al fenotipo Síndrome de Down (SD); desde el retraso mental, rasgo común a todos los individuos con SD hasta los déficits motores, también muy frecuentes entre la población con SD. Con el fin de validar la implicación de DYRK1A en el fenotipo SD se ha desarrollado una estrategia de terapia génica basada en la reducción de la expresión del gen mediante interferencia del RNA, en el modelo transgénico TgDyrk1A, y se han evaluado los efectos en el fenotipo motor de estos animales. Además se ha estudiado la implicación de los receptores glutamatérgicos de tipo NMDA en las alteraciones motoras descritas en el modelo. Los resultados obtenidos en este trabajo ponen de manifiesto la validez de la estrategia desarrollada y apuntan a una desregulación de los receptores de NMDA como uno de los mecanismos moleculares subyacentes de las disfunción motora presente en el modelo TgDyrk1A. / The are growing evidences to consider DYRK1A as a candidate gene for some of the neurological alterations present in DS phenotype such as mental retardation which is a common feature in the syndrome, or motor deficits which show a high prevalence among DS individuals. With the aim to validate the contribution of Dyrk1A to DS phenothype, we have developped a gene therapy strategy based on RNA interference to reduce gene expression in the transgenic model TgDyrk1A, and we have evaluated the effects in the motor phenotype of these animals. Moreover, we have studied the implication of the NMDA glutamate receptor in the motor alterations present in the model. The results obtained validate the strategy developped and suggest the deregulation of the NMDA receptor as one of the main causes underlying motor dysfunction in TgDyrk1A mice.
