Abstract
The regional distribution of PRMT8 transcript was examined in mouse brain using in situ hybridization (ISH) histochemistry. The PRMT8 cRNA probe was specifically hybridized with CNS and the signals were observed only in the neurons. The distribution of the neurons expressing PRMT8 mRNA was not even throughout the brain. All of the regions related to general somatosensory system expressed PRMT8 mRNA strongly. Most of the relay nuclei intervening the special somatosensory system, such as the auditory, visual, and vestibular systems, were packed with PRMT8 mRNA expressing neurons. Forebrain limbic areas and thalamic nuclei relevant to limbic areas were also strongly labeled with the probe. Some areas related to the motor system, such as the caudate putamen, Purkinje cells, inferior olivary nucleus and cerebellar nuclei expressed PRMT8 mRNA strongly. These findings suggest that PRMT8 is chiefly involved in the somatosensory and limbic systems, and a part of motor system.Entities:
