9、eau (簽名簽名)7Dear Editor, We would like to submit the enclosed manuscript entitled GDNF Acutely Modulates Neuronal Excitability and A-type Potassium Channels in Midbrain Dopaminergic Neurons, which we wish to be considered for publication in Nature Neuroscience. GDNF has long been thought to be a pote

10、nt neurotrophic factor for the survival of midbrain dopaminergic neurons, which are degenerated in Parkinsons disease. In this paper, we report an unexpected, acute effect of GDNF on A-type potassium channels, leading to a potentiation of neuronal excitability, in the dopaminergic neurons in culture

11、 as well as in adult brain slices. Further, we show that GDNF regulates the K+ channels through a mechanism that involves activation of MAP kinase. Thus, this study has revealed, for the first time, an acute modulation of ion channels by GDNF. Our findings challenge the classic view of GDNF as a lon

12、g-term survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons, and suggest that the normal function of GDNF is to regulate neuronal excitability, and consequently dopamine release. These results may also have implications in the treatment of Parkinsons disease. Due to a direct competition and conflict of

17、cript was indeed received.13Dear editor,After the submission of our manuscript entitled Cancer classification by expression profiles: microRNA versus mRNA (tracking number: 2007-10-11332) to Nature, six weeks have passed. So I would like to inquire the status of our manuscript.We think that our comm

18、ents on the original paper of Nature will cause widespread interest to both experts and non-experts. This is because microRNA is a hot spot in life science; the author of the original paper is a VIP in cancer research based on gene expression profiles, with a SCI H index of 45, total citations more

19、than 15,000 times, and this paper citied 365 times; and the algorithm we proposed outperforms the recent state-of-the-art algorithm. Moreover, by using other state-of-the-art algorithms, we can also prove that the original authors main conclusions are wrong.I am looking forward to your reply. Thanks
