Expression analysis of genes responsible for serotonin signaling in the brain
چکیده انگلیسی
To thoroughly understand the function and regulation of neurotransmitter systems in the brain, as well as the underlying disease mechanisms, it is important to comprehensively analyze the expression patterns of genes participating in such systems. Using functional annotated cDNA clones (FANTOM), we examined the gene expression patterns of the serotonin neurotransmitter system, which is involved in psychiatric diseases such as depression. We chose 24 gene products and visualized their endogenous localizations using in situ hybridization (ISH). We were able to fine-tune an automated ISH method to obtain high-resolution cell-based figures within 24 h. We also measured the amounts of mRNAs with quantitative RT-PCR. The outline of the in situ gene expression pattern viewed under low magnification agreed with the results of the RT-PCR. In the high-resolution view obtained with ISH, we could document novel localizations of the several genes critically related to serotonin activity.
