  • Impairment of retrograde neuronal transport in oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy demonstrated by molecular imaging. 23029238

    The purpose of our study was to utilize a molecular imaging technology based on the retrograde axonal transport mechanism (neurography), to determine if oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity affects retrograde axonal transport in an animal model.Mice (n = 8/group) were injected with a cumulative dose of 30 mg/kg oxaliplatin (sufficient to induce neurotoxicity) or dextrose control injections. Intramuscular injections of Tetanus Toxin C-fragment (TTc) labeled with Alexa 790 fluorescent dye were done (15 ug/20 uL) in the left calf muscles, and in vivo fluorescent imaging performed (0-60 min) at baseline, and then weekly for 5 weeks, followed by 2-weekly imaging out to 9 weeks. Tissues were harvested for immunohistochemical analysis.With sham treatment, TTc transport causes fluorescent signal intensity over the thoracic spine to increase from 0 to 60 minutes after injection. On average, fluorescence signal increased 722%+/-117% (Mean+/-SD) from 0 to 60 minutes. Oxaliplatin treated animals had comparable transport at baseline (787%+/-140%), but transport rapidly decreased through the course of the study, falling to 363%+/-88%, 269%+/-96%, 191%+/-58%, 121%+/-39%, 75%+/-21% with each successive week and stabilizing around 57% (+/-15%) at 7 weeks. Statistically significant divergence occurred at approximately 3 weeks (p≤0.05, linear mixed-effects regression model). Quantitative immuno-fluorescence histology with a constant cutoff threshold showed reduced TTc in the spinal cord at 7 weeks for treated animals versus controls (5.2 Arbitrary Units +/-0.52 vs 7.1 AU +/-1.38, pless than 0.0004, T-test). There was no significant difference in neural cell mass between the two groups as shown with NeuN staining (10.2+/-1.21 vs 10.5 AU +/-1.53, pgreater than 0.56, T-test).We show-for the first time to our knowledge-that neurographic in vivo molecular imaging can demonstrate imaging changes in a model of oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy. Impaired retrograde neural transport is suggested to be an important part of the pathophysiology of oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy.

  • Regulation of blood pressure, the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), and other key renal sodium transporters by chronic insulin infusion in rats. 16303859

    Hyperinsulinemia is associated with hypertension. Dysregulation of renal distal tubule sodium reabsorption may play a role. We evaluated the regulation of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) and the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter (NCC) during chronic hyperinsulinemia in rats and correlated these changes to blood pressure as determined by radiotelemetry. Male Sprague-Dawley rats ( approximately 270 g) underwent one of the following three treatments for 4 wk (n = 6/group): 1) control; 2) insulin-infused plus 20% dextrose in drinking water; or 3) glucose water-drinking (20% dextrose in water). Mean arterial pressures were increased by insulin and glucose (mmHg at 3 wk): 98 +/- 1 (control), 107 +/- 2 (insulin), and 109 +/- 3 (glucose), P 0.01. Insulin (but not glucose) increased natriuretic response to benzamil (ENaC inhibitor) and hydrochlorothiazide (NCC inhibitor) on average by 125 and 60%, respectively, relative to control rats, suggesting increased activity of these reabsorptive pathways. Neither insulin nor glucose affected the renal protein abundances of NCC or the ENaC subunits (alpha, beta, and gamma) in kidney cortex, outer medulla, or inner medulla in a major way, as determined by immunoblotting. However, insulin and to some extent glucose increased apical localization of these subunits in cortical collecting duct principal cells, as determined by immunoperoxidase labeling. In addition, insulin decreased cortical with no lysine kinase (WNK4) abundance (by 16% relative to control), which may have increased NCC activity. Overall, insulin infusion increased blood pressure, and NCC and ENaC activity in rats. Increased apical targeting of ENaC and decreased WNK4 expression may be involved.

  • An In Vitro Spinal Cord Slice Preparation for Recording from Lumbar Motoneurons of the Adult Mouse. 22031766

    The development of central nervous system slice preparations for electrophysiological studies has led to an explosion of knowledge of neuronal properties in health and disease. Studies of spinal motoneurons in these preparations, however, have been largely limited to the early postnatal period as adult motoneurons are vulnerable to the insults sustained by the preparation. We therefore sought to develop an adult spinal cord slice preparation that permits recording from lumbar motoneurons. To accomplish this, we empirically optimized the composition of solutions used during preparation in order to limit energy failure, reduce harmful ionic fluxes, mitigate oxidative stress, and prevent excitotoxic cell death. In addition to other additives, this involved the use of ethyl pyruvate, which serves as an effective nutrient and antioxidant. We also optimized and incorporated a host of previously published modifications used for other in vitro preparations, such as the use of polyethylene glycol. We provide an in-depth description of the preparation protocol and discuss the rationale underlying each modification. By using this protocol, we obtained stable whole-cell patch clamp recordings from identified fluorescent-protein labeled motoneurons in adult slices; here, we describe the firing properties of these adult motoneurons. We propose that this preparation will allow further studies of how motoneurons integrate activity to produce adult motor behaviors and how pathological processes such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis affect these neurons.

  • Non-invasive Measurement of Plasma Glucose from Exhaled Breath in Healthy and Type 1 Diabetic Mellitus Subjects. 21467303

    Effective management of diabetes mellitus, affecting tens of millions of patients, requires frequent assessment of plasma glucose. Patient compliance for sufficient testing is often reduced by the unpleasantness of current methodologies, which require blood samples and often cause pain and skin callusing. We propose that the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath can be used as a novel, alternative non-invasive means to monitor glycemia in these patients. 17 healthy (9F/8M, 28.0±1.0 yrs) and 8 type 1 diabetic (T1DM) volunteers (5F/3M, 25.8±1.7 yrs) were enrolled in a 240 min triphasic intravenous dextrose infusion protocol (baseline, hyperglycemia, euglycemia-hyperinsulinemia). In T1DM patients, insulin was also administered (using differing protocols on 2 repeated visits to separate the effects of insulinemia on breath composition). Exhaled breath and room air samples were collected at 12 time points, and concentrations of ~100 VOCs were determined by gas chromatography and matched with direct plasma glucose measurements. Standard least squares regression was used on several subsets of exhaled gases to generate multi-linear models to predict plasma glucose for each subject. Plasma glucose estimates based on two groups of 4 gases each (Cluster A: acetone, methyl nitrate, ethanol, and ethyl benzene; Cluster B: 2-pentyl nitrate, propane, methanol, and acetone) displayed very strong correlations with glucose concentrations (0.883 and 0.869 for Clusters A and B, respectively) across nearly 300 measurements. Our study demonstrates the feasibility to accurately predict glycemia through exhaled breath analysis over a broad range of clinically relevant concentrations in both healthy and T1DM subjects.

  • Hydrogen gas reduced acute hyperglycemia-enhanced hemorrhagic transformation in a focal ischemia rat model. 20423721

    Hyperglycemia is one of the major factors for hemorrhagic transformation after ischemic stroke. In this study, we tested the effect of hydrogen gas on hemorrhagic transformation in a rat focal cerebral ischemia model. Sprague-Dawley rats (n=72) were divided into the following groups: sham; sham treated with hydrogen gas (H(2)); Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion (MCAO); and MCAO treated with H(2) (MCAO+H(2)). All rats received an injection of 50% dextrose (6 ml/kg i.p.) and underwent MCAO 15 min later. Following a 90 min ischemic period, hydrogen was inhaled for 2 h during reperfusion. We measured the level of blood glucose at 0 h, 0.5 h, 4 h, and 6 h after dextrose injection. Infarct and hemorrhagic volumes, neurologic score, oxidative stress (evaluated by measuring the level of 8 Hydroxyguanosine (8OHG), 4-Hydroxy-2-Nonenal (HNE) and nitrotyrosine), and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2/MMP-9 activity were measured at 24 h after ischemia. We found that hydrogen inhalation for 2 h reduced infarct and hemorrhagic volumes and improved neurological functions. This effect of hydrogen was accompanied by a reduction of the expression of 8OHG, HNE, and nitrotyrosine and the activity of MMP-9. Furthermore, a reduction of the blood glucose level from 500+/-32.51 to 366+/-68.22 mg/dl at 4 h after dextrose injection was observed in hydrogen treated animals. However, the treatment had no significant effect on the expression of ZO-1, occludin, collagen IV or aquaporin4 (AQP4). In conclusion, hydrogen gas reduced brain infarction, hemorrhagic transformation, and improved neurological function in rats. The potential mechanisms of decreased oxidative stress and glucose levels after hydrogen treatment warrant further investigation.
