Restoring Bmi-1 expression in miR128a expressing cells rescues the medulloblastoma cells from growth arrest. We then sought to further explore the mechanism of the miR-128a-Bmi-1 pathway in medulloblastoma. MFS transporters are an important superfamily of membrane proteins which import or export diverse substrates and catalyze different modes of transport using unique combinations of functional residues. The data presented in this study of the Spod-11-tox protein showed that this acute phase protein is produced upon microbial infection by granulocytes and plasmatocytes and processed into lower molecular masse components before being rapidly secreted into the plasma where it participates to a systemic response rather than being involved in intracellular pathogen killing. In response to infection, Spod-11-tox was found to accumulate in heterogeneous bodies that are present in both plasmatocytes and granulocytes and in structured granules, involved the protein secretion into the plasma. Tbx1 is a T-box transcription factor required for pharyngeal and cardiovascular development of humans and mice. Mutations in TBX1 cause DiGeorge syndrome and its molecular functions are unknown, but it can transactivate reporters with T-box binding elements. In addition, when one antenna is exposed to non-nestmate odor and the other antenna is sham-treated, aggression towards nonnestmate individuals is only reduced when these are R428 Axl inhibitor detected by the exposed antenna, but not by the sham-treated antenna. This shows that ants do not compare the detected odor to a unique, central representation of colony odor, but rather obey to sidespecific decision rules, which can be altered independently in each side. Nestmate recognition does therefore not depend on integrated bilateral transfer of information through the brain, either during familiarization to colony odor or for decision making. Our results contrast with those obtained after unilateral olfactory conditioning in the honeybee: after conditioning the proboscis extension reflex on one antenna only, the authors observed that the learned information was transferred between sides, suggesting the involvement of integration and bilateral transfer in high-order integration centers such as mushroom bodies. This transfer occurred within 3 hours after unilateral PER conditioning ; in our case no bilateral transfer occurred although we allowed ample time for it. This is further evidence that the mechanisms and neural substrates involved in information processing and plasticity in nestmate recognition differ from those involved in olfactory discrimination and learning in an appetitive context. T-box proteins, including those of the Tbx1 subfamily may interact with histone modifying enzymes H3K27-demethylase and H3K4-methyltransferase and thus modulate gene expression. Clioquinol is a membrane-permeable and hydrophobic metal.
