Abstract

Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) are a distinct group of cells present in the embryonic and adult mammalian central nervous system (CNS) that are able to differentiate into neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. As NSC proliferation declines with age, factors that regulate this process need to be defined. To search for NSC regulatory factors, we performed a quantitative shotgun proteomics study that revealed that members of the High Mobility Group B (HMGB) family are highly expressed in NSCs. Using a neurosphere assay, we report the differential expression of HMGB 1, 2, 3, and 4 mRNAs in proliferating NSCs isolated from various time points during embryonic development, as well as the dynamic expression of HMGB1 and B2 mRNAs and proteins in differentiating embryonic NSCs. Expression of HMGB2 underwent the most dramatic changes during the developmental ages examined; as a result, we assessed its role in NSC proliferation and differentiation. We report the predominance of small diameter HMGB2-/- neurospheres in comparison to wild-type, which correlated with increased proliferation in these smaller HMGB2-/- neurospheres. Our data suggest that HMGB2 plays a regulatory role in NSC cell proliferation and maintenance pathways.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 April 2013.
All research outputs
#13,888,916
of 22,708,120 outputs
Outputs from Proteome Science
#85
of 189 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#106,866
of 193,472 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proteome Science
#1
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,708,120 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 189 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 193,472 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
