5' and 3' RACE Method to Obtain Full-Length 5' and 3' Ends of Ciona robusta Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factors Mif1 and Mif2 cDNA
2019
The 5' and 3' RACE is a method to obtain full-length 5' and 3' ends of cDNA using known cDNA sequences from expressed sequence tags (ESTs), subtracted cDNA, differential display, or library screening. Here is described the identification of full-length 5' and 3' ends of Ciona robusta Mif1 and Mif2 cDNA by using 5' and 3' RACE method.
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is critically involved in basal and fluoxetine-stimulated adult hippocampal cell proliferation and in anxiety,…

Intensive research is devoted to unravel the neurobiological mechanisms mediating adult hippocampal neurogenesis, its regulation by antidepressants, and its behavioral consequences. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is expressed in the CNS, where its function is unknown. Here, we show, for the first time, the relevance of MIF expression for adult hippocampal neurogenesis. We identify MIF expression in neurogenic cells (in stem cells, cells undergoing proliferation, and in newly proliferated cells undergoing maturation) in the subgranular zone of the rodent dentate gyrus. A causal function for MIF in cell proliferation was shown using genetic (M…
