RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 All-trans retinol and retinol-binding protein from embryonic cerebrospinal £uid exhibit dynamic behaviour during early central nervous system development A1 Parada, Carolina A1 Gato Casado, Ángel Luis A1 Bueno i Torrens, David K1 Fluidos orgánicos K1 Retinol K1 Embriología humana K1 Cerebro - Desarrollo AB Embryonic cerebrospinal £uid (E-CSF) is involved in the regulationof survival, proliferation and neurogenesis of neuroectodermalprogenitor cells, aswell as in the control ofmesencephalic gene expressionin collaboration with the isthmic organizer. Recently, weshowed the presence of retinol-binding protein (RBP) within theE-CSF proteome.RBP is an all-trans retinol carrier, amolecule thatcan be metabolized into retinoic acid, a morphogen involved incentral nervous system (CNS) morphogenesis and patterning.Here we demonstrate the presence of all-trans retinol within theE-CSF and analyse the dynamics of RBP and all-trans retinolwithinthis £uid, as well as the expression of retinoic acid-synthesizingenzymes during early CNS development. Our results suggesta relationship between the dynamics of these molecules andthe early events of CNS patterning.
