Abstract

Kilon is a member of the IgLON family belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules. In the present study, we investigated temporal and spatial changes of Kilon expression and its modulatory functions for synapse number using hippocampal cultured neurons. Kilon was observed to localize chiefly at axons and presynaptic terminals at early culture stage, however, it was seen mainly at dendritic postsynaptic spine of mature neurons at late culture stages. Kilon was solubilized with detergent treatment at early culture stages, while it resisted to extraction of the detergent in mature neurons. The overexpression of Kilon gene using a plasmid vector decreased the number of dendritic synapses at early culture stages, whereas the overexpression increased the number of dendritic synapses at late culture. These results demonstrate the alteration of modulatory function of Kilon for the number of dendritic synapses concomitant with changes in its localization and detergent solubility during neuronal culture development.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
