“…12-1 cells also had greater expression levels of genes involved in neuronal development: C1-13 (10.6-fold), rS-Rex-b (9.2-fold), and neuronatin alpha (4.0-fold) (3,33,38,42,71). Other genes elevated in expression in 12-1 cells include those for the transmembrane receptor Robo1 (roundabout homolog 1, 4.9-fold) and the homeodomain transcription factor Nkx6.1 (3.5-fold), which play important roles in axon guidance and pathfinding (8, 10, 35, 50, 74); the type 1 cannabinoid receptor SKR6 (3.2-fold), which is involved in neuronal signal transmission (45); and the neuronal aldolase C (24.3-and 3.2-fold for two separate sequences), which is involved in glycolysis (20) and in the regulation of neurofilament light subunit (NF-L) expression (9). In contrast, only a single neuronal-like gene, that for sortilin, which functions as a neurotensin receptor in neuronal cells (46) or as a sorting protein in the glucose transporter Glut4 vesicles in fat and muscle cells (41), was identified with 3.2-fold greater expression in 12-1sm cells.…”
