GSE106371 Transcriptome of zebrafish neurohypophyseal astroglia (pituicytes)

Contributors : Dena Leshkowitz ; Savani Anbalagan ; Gil LevkowitzSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Danio rerioThe hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal system (HNS) is an interface through which the brain regulates body homeostasis by means of releasing the hypothalamic neurohormones oxytocin and arginine-vasopressin to the general circulation. The basic components of the HNS are the hypothalamic axonal projections, endothelial blood vessels and astroglial-like cells, termed pituicytes. These three tissue types converge and interact at the ventral forebrain to establish an efficient neuro-vascular interface, which allows the release of neurohormones from the brain to the periphery. However, the molecular blueprint of pituicytes-specific genes is still unknown. We have labelled and isolated zebrafish pituicytes cells and have identified their molecular signature.
