Title in Portuguese
Ontogênese de conexinas no cerebelo.
Keywords in Portuguese
Cerebelo
Conexinas
Diferenciação celular
Ontogenia
Proliferação celular
Abstract in Portuguese
As junções comunicantes formadas por conexinas (Cx) ligam o citoplasma de células adjacentes e permitem a passagem de moléculas e íons entre elas. No sistema nervoso, esses canais constituem as sinapses elétricas e são fundamentais para a fisiologia glial. No desenvolvimento, as conexinas estão envolvidas nos processos de migração, proliferação e diferenciação celular. Caracterizamos a expressão gênica (RNAm) e protéica de duas importantes conexinas no cerebelo de aves: Cx36 (neuronal) e Cx43 (glial). Houve um aumento protéico e na expressão de RNAm tanto para a Cx36 quanto para a Cx43. Para a Cx43 esse aumento foi associado a sinaptogênese. A Cx36 foi observada em estágios mais precoces, na camada proliferativa cerebelar. No cerebelo pós-natal, A Cx36 foi observada nos dendritos das células de Golgi. A Cx43 encontra-se principalmente em astrócitos da camada granular e substância branca. Em conclusão, nós observamos uma padrão de expressão espaço-temporal distinto entre as duas conexinas, relacionado a papéis específicos na função de desenvolvimento cerebelares.

Abstract in English
Gap junction channels composed of connexins (Cxs) connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells and allow the flow of ions and molecules between them. In the nervous system, these channels constitute the electrical synapses and are fundamental for the glial physiology. In the development, Cx channels are involved in the processes of cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. We characterized the gene (mRNA) and protein expression of Cx36 (neuronal) and Cx43 (glial) in the embryonic and postnatal avian cerebellum. Cx36 and Cx43 mRNA and protein levels were upregulated during development. For Cx43 this increase was clearly associated with the synaptogenesis process. Cx36 was observed in earlier stages, localized in the cerebellar proliferative layer. In the postnatal period, Cx36 was observed in the dendrites of Golgi cells. Cx43 was localized in the astrocytes of the grey and white matter. In conclusion, we observed a distinct spatio-temporal expression pattern for Cx36 and Cx43, wich is likely related to particular roles in cerebellar development and function.
