We studied the expression of peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) gene in the human central nervous system (CNS). Northern blot analysis was performed with polyA+ RNA blots containing several parts of the human brain and the spinal cord using human PMP22 cDNA as a probe. As two alternative PMP22 transcripts have been reported and since exon 1A-containing transcripts are associated with myelin formation, the exon 1A fragment was also used to examine this transcript. Total PMP22 mRNA was significantly detected in most parts of brain and spinal cord, while exon 1A-containing transcripts were detected in the medulla, spinal cord and corpus callosum. PMP22-like immunoreactivity was identified in motor neurons and preganglionic sympathetic neurons in the spinal cord. PMP22 was also detected in pia mater of the spinal cord. These results suggest that PMP22 might play an important role in human CNS.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain).

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
