The proto-oncogene, c-fos, is expressed in neurons in response to stimulation by growth factors, neurotransmitters, and immunocytokines. In order to determine whether interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta)-induced Fos protein expression in the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVN) can be reduced or eliminated by a c-fos antisense oligodeoxynucleotide, rats were injected with c-fos antisense and Fos expression was examined immunocytochemically. Our results indicate that c-fos antisense oligodeoxynucleotide treatment decreases the density of Fos immuno-labeled nuclei in the PVN following IL-1 beta administration. These data suggest that, with the use of antisense technology, it may be possible to determine the role of proto-oncogene proteins in specific brain areas.

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). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

D016760 Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-fos Cellular DNA-binding proteins encoded by the c-fos genes (GENES, FOS). They are involved in growth-related transcriptional control. c-fos combines with c-jun (PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEINS C-JUN) to form a c-fos/c-jun heterodimer (TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR AP-1) that binds to the TRE (TPA-responsive element) in promoters of certain genes.
