We investigated the biochemical and growth properties of Schwann cells from the sciatic nerve of Trembler and unaffected mice in culture. Both Trembler and control cultures showed similar growth rates. The specific activity of 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP) and enzymes involved in lipid metabolism of cerebrosides and sulfatides were studied. UDP-galactose: ceramide galactosyltransferase was significantly decreased in Trembler cultures less than 21 days in vitro. No differences were found in the specific activities of cerebroside sulfotransferase, arylsulfatase A or CNP between Trembler and control cultures. Schwann cells from Trembler and control mice were labeled with [35S]methionine and the protein analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Our study revealed few but consistent differences in the protein pattern synthesized by the Trembler Schwann cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007525 Isoelectric Focusing Electrophoresis in which a pH gradient is established in a gel medium and proteins migrate until they reach the site (or focus) at which the pH is equal to their isoelectric point. Electrofocusing,Focusing, Isoelectric
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012584 Sciatic Nerve A nerve which originates in the lumbar and sacral spinal cord (L4 to S3) and supplies motor and sensory innervation to the lower extremity. The sciatic nerve, which is the main continuation of the sacral plexus, is the largest nerve in the body. It has two major branches, the TIBIAL NERVE and the PERONEAL NERVE.
