Intracellular sodium and its effect on neuronal Gene Expression (360G-Wellcome-202469_Z_16_Z)

£1,750

This project will involve investigating the effects of intracellular sodium on the gene expression in Dorsal root ganglion neurons. The key aims of the project will be to determine the role of sodium mediated signalling in neuronal gene expression. To determine this, high affinity sodium binding protein will be investigated; a cloned DNA construct of the protein will be transfected in to HEK (Human Embryonic Kidney) cells and then DRG neurons with a Nav1.7 knock out. The effect of low intracellular sodium concentration on expression of Penk will be assesed by analysis of the DRG neurons.
