“…Tgfb1 upregulation in transplanted mouse neural cells in injured CNS has been reported to reflect a response to inflammatory activity, and both Bcl2 and Notch increase NSC survival (Capone et al., 2007, Kumamaru et al., 2012, Koch et al., 2013). In parallel, observed changes in BMP2, NOTCH, OLIG2, FGF2, ASCL1, DLL1 , and PAX6 are consistent with previous reports of modulation of NSC differentiation and lineage selection (Zhou and Anderson, 2002, Wu et al., 2003, Cheng et al., 2007, Sugimori et al., 2007, Kumamaru et al., 2012, Koch et al., 2013, Vasconcelos and Castro, 2014, Li and Leung, 2015). For the neurite outgrowth and migration category, upregulation of genes such as DCX (Schaar et al., 2004), NRP2 (Schwarz and Ruhrberg, 2010), and EFNB1 (Tanaka et al., 2004) suggest increases in neuronal migration, axonal outgrowth, and guidance signaling.…”
