Abstract:
hnRNP represent a large family of RNA-binding proteins related to regulation of transcriptional and translational processes. More specifically, hnRNPs play pivotal roles in the myelination of the central nervous system. The regulation of these proteins are associated with neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia. hnRNPs were shown differentially regulated on schizophrenia postmortem brain tissue as well as in cultured oligodendrocytes treated with clozapine, a common antipsychotic used in schizophrenia treatment. Here we employed co-immunoprecipitation of hnRNP C1/C2 to investigate for the first time in a large-scale manner its interaction partners on cultured oligodendrocytes (MO3.13). Even preliminarily, results bring a more comprehensive description of hnRNP C1/C2 interaction network, and therefore insights regarding the potential role of this protein in the central nervous system in health and disease, warranting further investigation.
