Egfr, a member of the ErbB gene family, plays a critical role in tissue development and homeostasis, wound healing, and disease. However, expression and regulators of Egfr during spinal cord development remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated ErbB evolution and analyzed co-expression modules, miRNAs, and transcription factors that may regulate Egfr expression in rats. We found that ErbB family members formed via Egfr duplication in the ancient vertebrates but diverged after speciation of gnathostomes. We identified a module that was co-expressed with Egfr, which involved cell proliferation and blood vessel development. We predicted 25 miRNAs and nine transcription factors that may regulate Egfr expression. Dual-luciferase reporter assays showed six out of nine transcription factors significantly affected Egfr promoter reporter activity. Two of these transcription factors (KLF1 and STAT3) inhibited the Egfr promoter reporter, whereas four transcription factors (including FOXA2) activated the Egfr promoter reporter. Real-time PCR and immunofluorescence experiments showed high expression of FOXA2 during the embryonic period and FOXA2 was expressed in the floor plate of the spinal cord, suggesting the importance of FOXA2 during embryonic spinal cord development. Considering the importance of Egfr in embryonic spinal cord development, wound healing, and disease (specifically in cancer), regulatory elements identified in this study may provide candidate targets for nerve regeneration and disease treatment in the future.

Brain injury-induced neurological deficits typically develop on the contralateral side of the body and include abnormal posture, motor weakness, and spasticity. It is believed that the interruption of descending neural pathways that convey supraspinal com
Within the last several decades, the scientific community has made substantial progress in elucidating the complex pathophysiology underlying spinal cord injury. However, despite the many advances using conventional mammalian models, both cellular and axo

脑脓肿是具有致命风险的中枢神经系统感染性疾病,及时有效的治疗脑脓肿依赖于神经内科、神经影像科和神经外科的积极合作.神经影像技术指导下的神经外科手术不仅可以切除病灶,还可以为病原菌诊断提供有效帮助.在经验性抗感染治疗过程中,要充分考虑厌氧菌感染的可能性.经足够疗程静脉抗生素治疗的患者,可以给予适宜的口服抗生素治疗,并在门诊随诊过程中,关注患者病灶变化及癫痫等常见并发症的发生.综上,本文对脑脓肿诊断及治疗新进展进行综述.
