Abstract: |
Neuronal gene expression in the brain dynamically responds to synaptic activity. The interplay among synaptic activity, gene expression, and synaptic plasticity has crucial implications for understanding the pathophysiology of diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy. These diseases are marked by synaptic dysfunction that affects the expression patterns of neuroprotective genes that are incompletely understood. In our study, we developed a cellular model of synaptic activity using human cholinergic neurons derived from SH-SY5Y cell differentiation. Depolarization induction modulates the expression of neurotrophic genes and synaptic markers, indicating a potential role in synaptic plasticity regulation. This hypothesis is further supported by the induction kinetics of various long non-coding RNAs, including primate-specific ones. Our experimental model showcases the utility of SH-SY5Y cells in elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity in human cellular systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
