Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does pax6 influence expression patterns of genes involved in neuro- degeneration?
Answer: Presence of BDNF and TGFβ indicates association between them in glioblastoma-astrocytoma. Therefore, Pax6 seems to be involved directly with p53 and TGFβ mediated pathways and indirectly with redox-sensitive pathway regulation. The neurodegenerative markers S100β, GFAP, BDNF, NGN2, p73α, p73δ, observed downregulated in Pax6 knockdown condition suggest Pax6-mediated regulation of these markers. Observations enlighten Pax6-mediated influences on cascades of genes involved in growth, differentiation and maturation of neurons and glia.
Output (English): yes
