AbstractBcl-2 family protein Bax is involved in mechanisms of synaptic plasticity. The induction of long term potentiation in hippocampal slices leads to increased Bax expression, but the localization of these changes remains unclear. Bax immunoreactivity is visually detected mainly in the layer of pyramidal neurons and is rarely detected in S100B-positive glial cells. However, a quantitative assessment of Bax colocalization with glial and neuronal markers (S100B and NeuN, respectively) showed that although the Bax content in S100B-positive glial cells is really low, the Bax neuronal somatic pool is not the main source of Bax protein in the hippocampus.

Kaiso is a transcription factor that is known to regulate cell division in different cell types. Kaiso binds kaiso specific binding site and/or methylated CpG islands on the promoter region of different target genes. Kaiso silencing may lead to an increase or a decrease in cell proliferation, which is cell specific and is probably dependent on the methylation status of Kaiso binding sites at the target promoter. In various mammalian cell types Kaiso was shown to regulate cell proliferation via its target genes of cyclins E1 and D1.В Kaiso is widely expressed throughout the brain regions, however its regulation of cell division in brain development was not investigated.В Our preliminary data showed that in the developing hippocampusВ  there was a significant increase in the number of newborn cells in KO mice (17 В± 1) compared with the WT mice (12 В± 1 per 100 Ојm2; p <0,001). The number of newborn cells co-stained with the neuron marker was also significantly greater in KO mice (6 В± 1) compared with the WT mice (4 В± 1 per 100 Ојm2; p <0,05).В In the cortex, striatum, and subventricular zone of the lateral ventricles, there were no significant differences between genotypes in the number of newborn cells.В We have performed expression profiling of genes associated with cell division regulation (c-myc, CCNE1 and CCND1) that were previously noted to be regulated by Kaiso in different cell types. A significant decrease in the expression of the c-myc gene was shown in the hippocampus of KO mice at the age P2 compared to WT (KO: 2,7 В± 0,3; WT: 4,5 В± 0,7; p <0,05). On the mRNA level neither CCNE1 nor CCND1 expression was different between the genotypes in all selected brain regions and corresponding age groups.В Supported by the RFBR (18-04-00869 Рђ)

The adipocyte-derived hormone leptin is an important regulator of body weight and metabolism through activation of brain leptin receptors expressed in different brain regions such as the hypothalamus. Moreover, it has pro-cognitive and anti-depressive effects in the central nervous system. Leptin receptor expressed in the different brain areas particularly hippocampus where are they had a modulating effect on the synaptic plasticity regulation, synaptogenesis and promotes hippocampal-dependent learning and memory. Leptin directly influences on the glutamate receptors recycling in the hippocampal CA1 field through PI3K-signalling pathway. To dissect the mechanisms by which leptin induced of synaptic PIP3 generation we analyzed proteins domains structure which to involve in the counter-regulation hippocampal excitatory synaptic network.
