Abstract |
RNA interference (RNAi) technology is one of the main research tools in many studies of neural stem cells. This study describes effects of ATP11B on the morphology change of neural stem cells by using RNAi. ATP11B belongs to P4-ATPases family, which is preferential translocate phosphatidylserine of cell membrane. Although it exists in neural stem cells, its physiological function is poorly understood. By using RNAi technology to downregulate expression of ATP11B, we found distinct morphological changes in neural stem cells. More important, psiRNA-ATP11B-transfected cells displayed short neurite outgrowth compared to the control cells. These data strongly suggest that ATP11B plays a key role in the morphological change of neural stem cells. |
