Expression and localization of Dbn1 in the developmental mouse brain / 第三军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To detect the expression changes and location of the mouse developmental regulation brain protein(Dbn1)in the developmental mouse brain.Methods Monoclonal antibodies against drebrin protein were used to assess Dbn1 by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.The paternal expression of Dbn1 in developmental mouse brain(E14,P1,P7 and adult)was initially investigated by Western blot.Dbn1 was shown at various developmental stages(E14,P1 and P7)as well as in adult in different brain area of developmental mouse brain by immunohistochemical.Results Dbn1 protein was detected in developmental brain but a little in adult brain by Western blot,high at E14,decreased at P1,gradually increased at P7 and lowest in adult.Immunohistochemistry confirmed as followsDbn1 expressed mostly in cortex,hippocampus and ependyma areas at E14,and the positive signal was distributed at cells border;The expression of Dbn1 was decreased at P1,mainly distributed at the verge of cells or dendrites;The peak expression of Dbn1 appeared at P7,Dbn1 located at nucleus of hippocampus and cortex,and the positive signal located within cytoplasm and dendrites;Only a little positive Dbn1 cells were found in adult mouse brain.Conclusion Dnb1 may be involved in regulating the differentiation and migration of neurons during the development of mouse brain.
