Alchini R, Sato H, Matsumoto N, Shimogori T, Sugo N, Yamamoto N
Sci Rep . 2017 Jul; 7(1):6024. PMID: 28729685
During development, thalamocortical (TC) axons form branches in an activity-dependent fashion. Here we investigated how neuronal activity is converted to molecular signals, focusing on an epigenetic mechanism involving histone deacetylases...

Rouger V, Alchini R, Kazarine A, Gopal A, Girouard M, Fournier A, et al.
J Biomed Opt . 2016 Dec; 21(12):126008. PMID: 27999866
Light sheet microscopy techniques have expanded with designs to address many new applications. Due to rapid advancements in computing power, camera/detector technologies, and tissue clearing techniques, light sheet methods are...

Girouard M, Pool M, Alchini R, Rambaldi I, Fournier A
PLoS One . 2016 Dec; 11(12):e0168641. PMID: 27992599
The small GTPase RhoA regulates the actin cytoskeleton to affect multiple cellular processes including endocytosis, migration and adhesion. RhoA activity is tightly regulated through several mechanisms including GDP/GTP cycling, phosphorylation,...

Antoine-Bertrand J, Duquette P, Alchini R, Kennedy T, Fournier A, Lamarche-Vane N
J Biol Chem . 2015 Dec; 291(9):4589-602. PMID: 26710849
The receptor deleted in colorectal cancer (DCC) mediates the attraction of growing axons to netrin-1 during brain development. In response to netrin-1 stimulation, DCC becomes a signaling platform to recruit...

Khazaei M, Girouard M, Alchini R, Ong Tone S, Shimada T, Bechstedt S, et al.
J Biol Chem . 2014 Sep; 289(43):30133-43. PMID: 25225289
Coordinated control of the growth cone cytoskeleton underlies axon extension and guidance. Members of the collapsin response mediator protein (CRMP) family of cytosolic phosphoproteins regulate the microtubule and actin cytoskeleton,...

Kaplan A, Sanz R, Ferraro G, Alchini R, Fournier A
Methods Mol Biol . 2014 May; 1162:43-56. PMID: 24838957
The identification of molecular processes involved in regulating neurite outgrowth is an active area of interest for investigators studying neural development and regeneration. In vitro assays designed to measure growth...

Yam P, Kent C, Morin S, Farmer W, Alchini R, Lepelletier L, et al.
Neuron . 2012 Nov; 76(4):735-49. PMID: 23177959
Axons must switch responsiveness to guidance cues during development for correct pathfinding. Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) attracts spinal cord commissural axons ventrally toward the floorplate. We show that after crossing the...

Mendes-de-Aguiar C, Alchini R, Zucco J, Costa-Silva B, Decker H, Alvarez-Silva M, et al.
J Neurosci Res . 2010 Sep; 88(15):3350-60. PMID: 20839308
Astrocytes clearly play a role in neuronal development. An indirect mechanism of thyroid hormone (T3) in the regulation of neuronal development mediated by astrocytes has been proposed. T3 alters the...

Mendes-de-Aguiar C, Alchini R, Decker H, Alvarez-Silva M, Tasca C, Trentin A
J Neurosci Res . 2008 Jun; 86(14):3117-25. PMID: 18543341
Thyroid hormone (T(3)) regulates the growth and differentiation of rat cerebellar astrocytes. Previously, we have demonstrated that these effects are due, at least in part, to the increased expression of...
