El objetivo de este proyecto ha sido analizar los resultados obtenidos en el desarrollo de una nueva metodología docente en la enseñanza de Fisiopatología, asignatura troncal impartida en tercer curso de la Licenciatura de Farmacia de la Universidad de Sevilla. El número de estudiantes es de 548 repartidos en 4 grupos. El proyecto implica la...

The ontogeny of intestinal CRT, AGAT and GAMT was investigated in foetuses, newborn, suckling, weaning and adult rats. In the colon, CRT mediates creatine transport because it was Na+- and Cl—dependent and inhibited by creatine and GPA. In addition, Northern assays showed two CRT transcripts (2.7-kb and 4.2-kb) and the in situ hybridisation...

Intestinal myofibroblasts secrete substances that control organogenesis and wound repair of the intestine. The myofibroblasts of the rat small intestine express reelin and the present work explores whether reelin regulates crypt-villus unit homeostasis using normal mice and mice with the reelin gene disrupted (reeler). The results reveal that...

We recently demonstrated that the mucosa of the small intestine of the rat expresses reelin and some components of its signaling system. The current study evaluates whether reelin affects the intestinal gene expression profile using microarray analysis and reeler mice, a natural mutant in which reelin is not expressed. The effect of the...

Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is the target of the specifc immunoglobulin G autoantibody (AQP4-IgG) produced in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD). Previous studies demonstrated that AQP4-IgG binding to astrocytic AQP4 leads to cell-destructive lesions. However, the early physiopathological events in Müller cells in the retina...

Disabled-2 (Dab2) is an intracellular adaptor protein proposed to function in endocytosis. Here, we investigate the intestinal and renal Dab2 expression versus maturation. Dab2 mRNA levels measured by RT-PCR are greater in the small than in the large intestine. Immunological studies localize Dab2 to the terminal web domain of the enterocytes...

Background information: The myofibroblasts placed underneath the epithelium of the rodent small intestine express reelin, and the reelin absence modifies both the morphology and the cell renewal processes of the crypt-villus unit. In the developing central nervous system, the reelin effects are mediated by the disabled-1 (Dab1) protein. The...

Reelin is an extracellular matrix protein that plays a critical role in neuronal migration. Here we show that the mucosa of human colon expresses reelin, its receptors ApoER2 and VLDLR, and its effector protein Dab1. Immunohistochemical analyses reveal that reelin expression is restricted to pericryptal myofibroblasts; Dab1 is detected at...

We reported that Disabled-2 (Dab2) is located at the apical membrane in suckling rat intestine. Here, we discovered that, in colon of suckling and adult mouse and of adult human, Dab2 is only at lateral crypt cell membrane and colocalized with E-cadherin. Dab2 depletion in Caco-2 cells led to E-cadherin internalization indicating that its...
