  • Anthrax lethal toxin-mediated disruption of endothelial VE-cadherin is attenuated by inhibition of the Rho-associated kinase pathway. 22069696

    Systemic anthrax disease is characterized by vascular leakage pathologies. We previously reported that anthrax lethal toxin (LT) induces human endothelial barrier dysfunction in a cell death-independent manner with actin stress fiber formation and disruption of adherens junctions (AJs). In the present study, we further characterize the molecular changes in the AJ complex and investigate whether AJ structure and barrier function can be preserved by modulating key cytoskeletal signaling pathways. Here, we show that LT reduces total VE-cadherin protein and gene expression but the expression of the key linker protein beta-catenin remained unchanged. The changes in VE-cadherin expression correlated temporally with the appearance of actin stress fibers and a two-fold increase in phosphorylation of the stress fiber-associated protein myosin light chain (p-MLC) and cleavage of Rho-associated kinase-1 (ROCK-1). Co-treatment with ROCK inhibitors (H-1152 and Y27632), but not an inhibitor of MLC kinase (ML-7), blocked LT-induced p-MLC enhancement and stress fiber formation. This was accompanied by the restoration of VE-cadherin expression and membrane localization, and attenuation of the LT-induced increase in monolayer permeability to albumin. Together, these findings suggest the ROCK pathway may be a relevant target for countering LT-mediated endothelial barrier dysfunction.

  • Expression of vesicular glutamate transporter 1 immunoreactivity in peripheral and central endings of trigeminal mesencephalic nucleus neurons in the rat. 16856164

    The major neuronal components of the trigeminal mesencephalic nucleus (Vmes) are primary afferent neurons that convey proprioceptive information from the cranioorofacial regions. In the present study, we examined expression of vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUTs), VGLUT1 and VGLUT2, in the primary afferent neurons of the Vmes (Vmes neurons) in neonatal and adult rats. VGLUT1 immunoreactivity was detected in the cell bodies of Vmes neurons in neonatal rats younger than 11 days old, but not in older rats. However, in situ hybridization signals for VGLUT1 mRNA were detected in both neonatal and adult rats. No VGLUT2 immunoreactivity was detected in Vmes neurons of neonatal or adult rats. VGLUT1 immunoreactivity was also seen in the peripheral sensory endings on the equatorial regions of intrafusal fibers of muscle spindles in the masseter muscles in both neonatal and adult rats. In adult rats injected with cholera toxin B subunit (CTb) into the masseter nerve, central axon terminals of Vmes neurons were identified on masseter motoneurons within the trigeminal motor nucleus (Vm) by transganglionically and retrogradely transported CTb. VGLUT1-immunopositive axon terminals in close apposition to CTb-labeled Vm motoneurons were also detected by dual-immunofluorescence histochemistry for VGLUT1/CTb. Electron microscopy after dual immunolabeling for VGLUT1/CTb by the VGLUT1/immunoperoxidase and CTb/immunogold-silver methods further revealed synaptic contact of VGLUT1- and CTb-immunopositive axon terminals upon CTb-labeled neuronal profiles within the Vm. These data indicate that VGLUT1 is expressed in both the central axon terminals and the peripheral sensory endings of Vmes neurons, although no VGLUT1 immunoreactivity was detectable in the cell bodies of Vmes neurons in adult rats.

  • Localization of glycine receptors in the human forebrain, brainstem, and cervical spinal cord: an immunohistochemical review. 19915682

    Inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors for glycine (GlyR) are heteropentameric chloride ion channels that are comprised of four functional subunits, alpha1-3 and beta and that facilitate fast-response, inhibitory neurotransmission in the mammalian brain and spinal cord. We have investigated the distribution of GlyRs in the human forebrain, brainstem, and cervical spinal cord using immunohistochemistry at light and confocal laser scanning microscopy levels. This review will summarize the present knowledge on the GlyR distribution in the human brain using our established immunohistochemical techniques. The results of our immunohistochemical labeling studies demonstrated GlyR immunoreactivity (IR) throughout the human basal ganglia, substantia nigra, various pontine regions, rostral medulla oblongata and the cervical spinal cord present an intense and abundant punctate IR along the membranes of the neuronal soma and dendrites. This work is part of a systematic study of inhibitory neurotransmitter receptor distribution in the human CNS, and provides a basis for additional detailed physiological and pharmacological studies on the inter-relationship of GlyR, GABA(A)R and gephyrin in the human brain. This basic mapping exercise, we believe, will provide important baselines for the testing of future pharmacotherapies and drug regimes that modulate neuroinhibitory systems. These findings provide new information for understanding the complexity of glycinergic functions in the human brain, which will translate into the contribution of inhibitory mechanisms in paroxysmal disorders and neurodegenerative diseases such as Epilepsy, Huntington's and Parkinson's Disease and Motor Neuron Disease.

  • Rats harboring S284L Chrna4 mutation show attenuation of synaptic and extrasynaptic GABAergic transmission and exhibit the nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy phenotype. 19020039

    Mutations of genes encoding alpha4, beta2, or alpha2 subunits (CHRNA4, CHRNB2, or CHRNA2, respectively) of nAChR [neuronal nicotinic ACh (acetylcholine) receptor] cause nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE) in human. NFLE-related seizures are seen exclusively during sleep and are characterized by three distinct seizure phenotypes: "paroxysmal arousals," "paroxysmal dystonia," and "episodic wandering." We generated transgenic rat strains that harbor a missense mutation S284L, which had been identified in CHRNA4 in NFLE. The transgenic rats were free of biological abnormalities, such as dysmorphology in the CNS, and behavioral abnormalities. The mRNA level of the transgene (mutant Chrna4) was similar to the wild type, and no distorted expression was detected in the brain. However, the transgenic rats showed epileptic seizure phenotypes during slow-wave sleep (SWS) similar to those in NFLE exhibiting three characteristic seizure phenotypes and thus fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of human NFLE. The therapeutic response of these rats to conventional antiepileptic drugs also resembled that of NFLE patients with the S284L mutation. The rats exhibited two major abnormalities in neurotransmission: (1) attenuation of synaptic and extrasynaptic GABAergic transmission and (2) abnormal glutamate release during SWS. The currently available genetically engineered animal models of epilepsy are limited to mice; thus, our transgenic rats offer another dimension to the epilepsy research field.

  • An antibody panel for immunohistochemical analysis of the retina in Davidson's-fixed, paraffin-embedded eyes of rats. 18718747

    Unlike most other tissues, the optimal fixative for preserving eye morphology is considered to be Davidson's fixative or modified Davidson's rather than formalin. However, the methodology for antibodies to be used in tissues fixed this way is not normally outlined in current antibody datasheets. Additionally, where eyes have been stored in Davidson's fixative, the efficacy of retrospective analysis of eye morphology by immunohistochemistry is largely unknown. The aim of this study was to compare a panel of six antibodies in both Davidson's-fixed and formalin-fixed pigmented and non-pigmented rat eyes, in order to provide optimal methods for future retinal immunohistochemical evaluation with image analysis. The antibodies evaluated were raised against rhodopsin, synaptophysin, glutamine synthetase, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), cleaved caspase-3 and phospho-histone H3 (PH3). Overall, the staining quality of these antibodies was found to be optimal in Davidson's compared to formalin-fixed tissues after a time period of up to 4 days in fixative. The methods outlined thus provide a platform for future detailed analysis of retinal pathology in Davidson's-fixed eyes.

  • Bryostatin analogue-induced apoptosis in mantle cell lymphoma cell lines. 22465296

    The anti-cancer effects of bryostatin-1, a potent diacylglycerol analogue, have traditionally been attributed to its action on protein kinase C. However, we previously documented apoptosis in a B non-Hodgkin lymphoma cell line involving diacylglycerol analogue stimulation of Ras guanyl-releasing protein, a Ras activator, and Bim, a proapoptotic Bcl-2 family protein. To further explore the role of Bim, we examined several Bim-deficient B non-Hodgkin lymphoma cells for their responses to pico, a synthetic bryostatin-1-like compound. The Bim(-) mantle cell lymphoma cell lines Jeko-1, Mino, Sp53, UPN1, and Z138 and the Bim(+) cell line Rec-1, as well as the Burkitt lymphoma cells lines BL2 (Bim(-)) and Daudi (Bim(+)), were examined for their response to pico using assays for proliferation and apoptosis as well as biochemical methods for Ras guanyl-releasing proteins and Bcl-2 family members. With the exception of UPN1, mantle cell lymphoma cell lines underwent pico-induced apoptosis, as did BL2. In some cases, hallmarks of apoptosis were substantially diminished in the presence of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitors. Pico treatment generally led to increased expression of proapoptotic Bik, although the absolute levels of Bik varied considerably between cell lines. A pico-resistant variant of Z138 exhibited decreased Bik induction compared to parental Z138 cells. Pico also generally decreased expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-XL and Mcl1. Although, these changes in Bcl-2 family members seem unlikely to fully account for the differential behavior of the cell lines, our demonstration of a potent apoptotic process in most cell lines derived from mantle cell lymphoma encourages a re-examination of diacylglycerol analogues in the treatment of this subset of B non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases.

  • The proapoptotic dp5 gene is a direct target of the MLK-JNK-c-Jun pathway in sympathetic neurons. 19304750

    The death of sympathetic neurons after nerve growth factor (NGF) withdrawal requires de novo gene expression. Dp5 was one of the first NGF withdrawal-induced genes to be identified and it encodes a proapoptotic BH3-only member of the Bcl-2 family. To study how dp5 transcription is regulated by NGF withdrawal we cloned the regulatory regions of the rat dp5 gene and constructed a series of dp5-luciferase reporter plasmids. In microinjection experiments with sympathetic neurons we found that three regions of dp5 contribute to its induction after NGF withdrawal: the promoter, a conserved region in the single intron, and sequences in the 3' untranslated region of the dp5 mRNA. A construct containing all three regions is efficiently activated by NGF withdrawal and, like the endogenous dp5, its induction requires mixed-lineage kinase (MLK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activity. JNKs phosphorylate the AP-1 transcription factor c-Jun, and thereby increase its activity. We identified a conserved ATF site in the dp5 promoter that binds c-Jun and ATF2, which is critical for dp5 promoter induction after NGF withdrawal. These results suggest that part of the mechanism by which the MLK-JNK-c-Jun pathway promotes neuronal apoptosis is by activating the transcription of the dp5 gene.

  • Ciliary neurotrophic factor mediates dopamine D2 receptor-induced CNS neurogenesis in adult mice. 18305256

    Neurogenesis continues in the adult forebrain subventricular zone (SVZ) and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampal formation. Degeneration of dopaminergic projections in Parkinson's disease and animals reduces, whereas ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) promotes, neurogenesis. We tested whether the dopaminergic system promotes neurogenesis through CNTF. Astrocytes of the SVZ and dentate gyrus expressed CNTF and were close to dopaminergic terminals. Dopaminergic denervation in adult mice reduced CNTF mRNA by approximately 60%, whereas systemic treatment with the D2 agonist quinpirole increased CNTF mRNA in the SVZ and hippocampal formation, and in cultured astrocytes by 1.5-5 fold. The effect of quinpirole in vitro was blocked by the D2 antagonist eticlopride and did not cause astroglial proliferation or hypertrophy. Systemic quinpirole injections increased proliferation in wild-type mice by approximately 25-75% but not in CNTF-/- littermates or in the SVZ of mice infused with CNTF antibodies. Quinpirole increased the number of neuroblasts in wild-type but not in CNTF-/- littermates. Neurogenesis was reduced by approximately 20% in CNTF-/- mice, confirming the endogenous role of CNTF. Nigrostriatal denervation did not affect SVZ proliferation in CNTF-/- mice, suggesting that the dopaminergic innervation normally regulates neurogenesis through CNTF. Quinpirole acted on postsynaptic receptors as it reversed the reduced proliferation seen after dopaminergic denervation in wild-type mice. Thus, CNTF mediates dopaminergic innervation- and D2 receptor-induced neurogenesis in the adult forebrain. Because CNTF is predominantly expressed in the nervous system, this mechanism and the ability to pharmacologically modulate it have implications for Parkinson's disease and cell-replacement therapies for other disorders.

  • Cytokine synthesis analyzed at the single-cell level before and after revaccination with tetanus toxoid. 8056039

    Tetanus toxoid (TT) is a potent immunogen which evokes strong antibody responses after immunization. Here, TT was used as a model antigen to study the production of cytokines at the single-cell level during the in vitro immune response to a specific recall antigen. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained from healthy volunteers before and 9 weeks after TT vaccination and were cultured with antigen in vitro. The kinetics of cytokine synthesis as well as frequencies of cytokine-producing cells were determined at the single-cell level by immunofluorescent intracellular staining of the cytokine protein. The phenotype of the producer cells was revealed by concomitant staining of surface markers. Two patterns of cytokine synthesis were induced by TT: (i) T lymphocytes expressed a number of lymphokines (interleukin (IL)-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-10, interferon (IFN)-gamma and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-beta), each with distinct kinetics of synthesis. This cytokine expression was strictly dependent on the previous exposure of the donor to TT and positively correlated with the level of tetanus immunity, as judged by TT-specific Ab levels in plasma as well as lymphoproliferation. Cells producing IL-2, IFN-gamma and particularly TNF-beta dominated this in vitro response. After 96-120 h in culture, 1.0-1.3% of the cells produced TNF-beta, i.e. frequencies at least tenfold higher than for any of the other lymphokines assayed. The addition of IL-2 to the cultures caused a fourfold increase and a kinetics shift in the production of TNF-beta, which peaked already at 24 h. Exogenously added IL-2 also caused a five- to tenfold increase in the number of IL-2 and IFN-gamma producers but no apparent change in the kinetics of intracellular lymphokine appearance. (ii) The cytokines IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha were produced by monocytes. This inflammatory monokine response was independent of the TT-specific immune status of the donors, characterized by a rapid onset and was transient.

  • High sensitivity immunolocalization of double and single-stranded DNA by a monoclonal antibody. 3305019

    A monoclonal antibody (AK 30-10) is described which specifically reacts with DNA both in double and single-stranded forms but not with other molecules and structures, including deoxyribonucleotides and RNAs. When used in immunocytochemical experiments on tissue sections and permeabilized cultured cells, this antibody detects DNA-containing structures, even when the DNA is present in very small amounts. Examples of high resolution detection include the DNA present in amplified extrachromosomal nucleoli, chromomeres of lampbrush chromosomes, mitochondria, chloroplasts and mycoplasmal particles. In immunoelectron microscopy using the immunogold technique, the DNA was localized in distinct substructures such as the "fibrillar centers" of nucleoli and certain stromal centers in chloroplasts. The antibody also reacts with DNA of chromatin of living cells, as shown by microinjection into cultured mitotic cells and into nuclei of amphibian oocytes. The potential value and the limitations of immunocytochemical DNA detection are discussed.
