“…On the other hand, a reduction in β-III-tubulin positive cell numbers was detected, without affecting apoptotic neuronal population, suggesting inhibition of neurogenesis. This finding is corroborated by the recent demonstration that T. gondii infection impairs neuron generation from C17.2 neural stem cell line in vitro (Gan et al, 2016; Zhang et al, 2017). However, it is possible that, in addition to T. gondii induced alterations of well-known molecular mechanisms that control neurogenesis during cortical development, such as Wnt/βcat signaling (Gan et al, 2016; Zhang et al, 2017) and neuronal differentiation transcription factors, such as Fabp7/BLBP, Sox2, Tacc3 Eya1, Sox2, and Tnfrsf12a genes (Xiao et al, 2012), altered levels of IL-6, TGF-β1 and other, still unidentified cytokines, might exert an autocrine effect on the neurogenic potential of RG cells.…”

Although T. gondii infection decreased the number of Nestin/BLBP and β-III-tubulin positive cells and did not alter GFAP cells numbers, overall cell composition percentages induced an increase in an unidentified cell population, suggesting that RG differentiation might favor the appearance of other cell types.…”

“…These findings may partly explain the possible mechanisms of pathological brain damage caused by congenital T. gondii infection [ 18 , 19 ]. Furthermore, we recently found that the excreted-secreted antigens (ESAs) of T. gondii RH inactivated the differentiation of C17.2 NSCs and downregulated the expression level of β-catenin [ 20 ]. β-catenin is a crucial component of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.…”
