  • Serotonin-immunoreactive neurons and mast cells in the mouse esophagus suggest involvement of serotonin in both motility control and neuroimmune interactions. 22029710

    Background  Serotonin is a major transmitter in the gastrointestinal tract, but little is known about the serotonergic system in the esophagus. Methods  The aim of this study was to use multilabel immunofluorescence to characterize serotonin-positive nerve cell bodies and fibers and their relationship with other neuronal and non-neuronal elements in the mouse esophagus. Antibodies against serotonin, vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT), choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5), and α-bungarotoxin (α-BT), were used. Key Results  Serotonin-containing perikarya represented ∼10% of all PGP 9.5-positive myenteric neurons. Serotonin-positive varicose nerve fibers were found in the lamina muscularis mucosae and present on ∼13% of α-BT-labeled motor endplates in addition to VAChT-immunoreactive motor terminals. As ChAT-positive neurons of the compact formation of the nucleus ambiguus were negative for serotonin, serotonin-positive varicosities on motor endplates are presumed to be of enteric origin. On the other hand, cholinergic ambiguus neurons were densely supplied with serotonin-positive varicosities. The tela submucosa and tunica adventitia contained large numbers of serotonin-positive mast cells, a few of which were in close association with serotonin-positive nerve fibers. Conclusions & Inferences  The mouse esophagus is endowed with a rich serotonin-positive intrinsic innervation, including enteric co-innervation of striated muscles. Serotonin may modulate vagal motor innervation of esophageal-striated muscles not only at the central level via projections of the raphe nuclei to the nucleus ambiguus but also at the peripheral level via enteric co-innervation. In addition, mast cells represent a non-neuronal source of serotonin, being involved in neuroimmune processes.© 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

  • NET23/STING promotes chromatin compaction from the nuclear envelope. 25386906

    Changes in the peripheral distribution and amount of condensed chromatin are observed in a number of diseases linked to mutations in the lamin A protein of the nuclear envelope. We postulated that lamin A interactions with nuclear envelope transmembrane proteins (NETs) that affect chromatin structure might be altered in these diseases and so screened thirty-one NETs for those that promote chromatin compaction as determined by an increase in the number of chromatin clusters of high pixel intensity. One of these, NET23 (also called STING, MITA, MPYS, ERIS, Tmem173), strongly promoted chromatin compaction. A correlation between chromatin compaction and endogenous levels of NET23/STING was observed for a number of human cell lines, suggesting that NET23/STING may contribute generally to chromatin condensation. NET23/STING has separately been found to be involved in innate immune response signaling. Upon infection cells make a choice to either apoptose or to alter chromatin architecture to support focused expression of interferon genes and other response factors. We postulate that the chromatin compaction induced by NET23/STING may contribute to this choice because the cells expressing NET23/STING eventually apoptose, but the chromatin compaction effect is separate from this as the condensation was still observed when cells were treated with Z-VAD to block apoptosis. NET23/STING-induced compacted chromatin revealed changes in epigenetic marks including changes in histone methylation and acetylation. This indicates a previously uncharacterized nuclear role for NET23/STING potentially in both innate immune signaling and general chromatin architecture.
