  • Distribution of orexins-containing fibers and contents of orexins in the rat olfactory bulb. 18355936

    Orexin-A and -B (identical to hypocretin-1 and -2) are hypothalamic neuropeptides that regulate appetite and arousal. Orexins-producing neurons project their axons to various brain regions, including the olfactory bulb. In the present study, to understand the relationship between orexins and olfaction, we investigated the distribution of the orexin-A- and -B-immunoreactive (ir) fibers in the rat olfactory bulb and the contents of orexin-A and -B in the rat olfactory bulb after food deprivation for 48 h by using immunohistochemistry and radioimmunoassay, respectively. Both orexin-A- and -B-ir fibers are similarly wide spread from the glomerular layer of the olfactory bulb where the terminals of the peripheral olfactory nerves make synapses with the mitral cells or the tufted cells, to the piriform cortex. Dense orexin-A- and -B-ir fibers were observed mainly in the granular cell layer and anterior olfactory nucleus. The contents of orexin-A and -B (pg/10 mg wet weight tissue) in fed rats (mean+/-S.E.M., n=6) were 2.72+/-0.24 and 6.31+/-0.63, respectively. Fasting for 48 h significantly reduced the contents of orexin-B, but not orexin-A. Orexins in the rat olfactory bulb may be involved in not only olfactory system but also energy balance.

  • tie2, a putative protein tyrosine kinase from a new class of cell surface receptor. 8217221

    The cDNA of a novel mouse cell surface receptor (tie2) has been isolated from a mouse lung library. The predicted amino acid sequence of tie2 encodes a protein of 1122 amino acids, with an extracellular domain and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain bisected by a transmembrane region. The extracellular domain consists of two Ig-like domains, three cysteine-rich domains and three fibronectin type III repeats whilst the intracellular tyrosine kinase domain has a short insert region of 15 amino acids. In vitro transcription/translation of the tie2 cDNA demonstrates that it encodes a glycoprotein of some 145 kDa. The tie2 protein exhibits a high degree of similarity to the cell surface receptor tie, (Partanen, J. et al., (1992) Mol. Cell. Biol., 12, 1698-1707), and together with this protein defines a new class of cell surface receptor.

  • Initial tract formation in the mouse brain. 8423474

    Mouse embryos from embryonic days 8.5-10.5 (E8.5-E10.5) were fixed and labeled with an antibody to neuron-specific class III beta-tubulin (Moody et al., 1987; Lee et al., 1990a,b) to reveal the first neurons, axons, and tracts in the brain. They were studied in whole-mounts and in light microscopic sections. Some conclusions were checked by labeling tracts in older embryos (E11.5 and E12.5) with the lipophilic dye 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine. The first immunoreactive cells appeared at E8.5, prior to neural tube closure, in the neural plate immediately caudal to the optic vesicle. Cells along the dorsal midline of the mesencephalon issued the first axons, on E9.0; the cells were the mesencephalic nucleus of the trigeminal nerve, and the axons formed its descending tract. The tract reached the level of the trigeminal ganglion by E10.0 but did not enter the ganglion until after E12.5. On E9.5, the number of labeled cells and axons in the alar plate of the presumptive diencephalon and mesencephalon had increased substantially, and many of the rostral ones coursed into the basal plate to enter longitudinal tracts there. Two tracts originated from cells in the basal plate: the tract of the postoptic commissure (from the base of the optic stalk to the level of the cephalic flexure) and the medial longitudinal fasciculus (from the level of the cephalic flexure caudally through the mid and hind-brains). By E10.0, a small mammillotegmental tract paralleled the tract of the postoptic commissure, but immunolabeling was so widespread that discrete tracts were impossible to discern in the presumptive diencephalon and mesencephalon. The more rostral regions remained lightly labeled. In the cerebral vesicle, the presumptive cerebral cortex, the first immunoreactive cells appeared at E10.0; they had multiple processes oriented parallel to the pia, and were identified as the Cajal-Retzius cells. By E10.5, no tracts had formed in the cerebral vesicle. All the tracts formed by E10.0 were superficial, in the subpial lamina. Those that can be identified in the adult brain are very deep structures. These results are compared with previous descriptions of the embryonic brains of amphibians, fish, birds, and other mammals, including humans.

  • Selective lesioning of the basal forebrain cholinergic system by intraventricular 192 IgG-saporin: behavioural, biochemical and stereological studies in the rat. 7757267

    The elucidation of the functional role of the basal forebrain cholinergic system will require access to a highly specific and efficient cholinergic neurotoxin. Recently, selective depletion of the nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor-bearing cholinergic neurons in the rat basal forebrain and a dramatic loss of cholinergic innervation in the related cortical regions have been obtained following intraventricular injection of a newly introduced immunotoxin, 192 IgG-saporin. Here we extend these initial findings and report that administration of increasing doses (1.25, 2.5, 5.0 or 10 micrograms) of the 192 IgG-saporin conjugate into the lateral ventricles of adult rats induced dose-dependent impairments in the water maze task and passive avoidance retention, but only weak and inconsistent effects on locomotor activity. These behavioural changes were paralleled by a reduction in choline acetyltransferase activity in hippocampus and several cortical areas (up to 97%) and selective depletions of NGF receptor-positive cholinergic neurons in the septal-diagonal band area and nucleus basalis magnocellularis (up to 99%). By contrast, the non-cholinergic parvalbumin-containing neurons in the septum were completely spared, and other cholinergic projection systems (such as in the striatum, thalamus, brainstem and spinal cord) were unaffected even at the highest dose. The observed changes in the water maze and passive avoidance tasks, as well as the cholinergic cell loss, were maintained up to at least 8 months following the intraventricular injection of a single dose (5 micrograms) of the immunotoxin. The results confirm the usefulness of the 192 IgG-saporin toxin for selective and profound lesions of the basal forebrain cholinergic neurons and provide further support for a role of the basal forebrain cholinergic system in cognitive functions.

  • Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis maps of the proteome and phosphoproteome of primitively cultured rat mesangial cells. 16315178

    Mesangial cells (MC) play an important role in maintaining the structure and function of the glomerulus. The proliferation of MC is a prominent feature of many kinds of glomerular disease. The first reference 2-DE maps of rat mesangial cells (RMC), stained with silver staining or Pro-Q Diamond dye, have been established here to describe the proteome and phosphoproteome of RMC, respectively. A total of 157 selected protein spots, corresponding to 118 unique proteins, have been identified by MALDI-TOF-MS or LC-ESI-IT-MS/MS, in which 37 protein spots representing 28 unique proteins have also been stained with Pro-Q Diamond, indicating that they are in phosphorylated forms. All the identified proteins were bioinformatically annotated in detail according to their physiochemical characteristics, subcellular location, and function. Most of the separated or identified protein spots are distributed in the area of mass 10-70 kDa and pI 5.0-8.0. The identified proteins include mainly cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins and some mitochondrial, endoplasmic reticulum, and membrane proteins. These proteins are classified into different functional groups such as structure and mobility proteins (21.2%), metabolic enzymes (16.9%), protein folding and metabolism proteins (13.6%), signaling proteins (14.4%), heat-shock proteins (7.6%), and other functional proteins (12.7%). While structure and mobility proteins are mostly represented by protein spots with high abundance, signaling proteins are mostly represented by protein spots with relatively low abundance. Such a 2-DE database for RMC, especially with many signaling proteins and phosphoproteins characterized, will provide a valuable resource for comparative proteomics analysis of normal and pathologic conditions affecting MC function or pathologic progress.

  • High-performance liquid chromatography–ultrasonic nebulizer high-power nitrogen microwave-induced plasma mass spectrometry, real-time on-line coupling for selenium specia ... 15296393

    The coupling of a high-power nitrogen (N2) microwave-induced plasma (MIP) mass spectrometry – (MS) (1.3 kW) with high-performance liquid chromatography, connected with concentric nebulizer (CN), ultrasonic nebulizer (USN) and a hydride generation (HG) systems, for the optimization and determination of selenium compounds, has been carried out. The MIP-MS system fulfils the ideal requirement being an on-line real-time chromatographic detector for Se speciation analysis. Interchanging of MIP-MS system fabricated nebulizer (concentric) with an ultrasonic nebulizer increases about 3.4–12 (peak height) and 6.510 (peak area) times ion signals for the selenium compounds. The detection limits for selenate, selenite, trimethylselenonium ion (TmSe), selenomethionine (Semet) and selenoethionine (Seet) (in Milli-Q-water) obtained with the optimized HPLC–USN-N2MIP-MS system are 0.11, 0.14, 0.09, 0.14 and 0.10 µg L-1, respectively, about 12–48 times lower than the HPLC–CN-MIP-MS and 1.5–4.4 (peak height) times lower compared to the HPLC–CN-inductively coupled plasma (ICP)–MS coupling. Considering peak area, the repeatability (R.S.D. for three successive analyses) and intermediate precision (R.S.D. for three successive analyses performed on three different days), achieved for five Se compounds are 0.8–5.6, and 1.1–5.9%, comparable with the HPLC–CN-ICP-MS, HPLC–HG-MIP-MS and HPLC–CN-MIP-MS systems. The combined HPLC–USN-N2MIP-MS has been adequately applied for the determination of Se compounds in certified National Institute for Environmental studies human urine CRM No. 18. The results reasonably agree with the HPLC–CN-ICP-MS values. This encouraging combination may be an alternative ion source of mass spectrometry for coming generation in regard to the selenium speciation analysis.

  • Preferential expression of the complement regulatory protein decay accelerating factor at the fetomaternal interface during human pregnancy. 1691227

    The expression of decay accelerating factor (DAF) was investigated in human fetal and extra-fetal tissues using a panel of mAb directed against different epitopes on the DAF molecule. By immunostaining, extensive reactivity was observed on the placental trophoblast epithelium and this was confined exclusively to sites of direct contact with maternal blood and tissues at the fetomaternal interface. Within the fetus, by contrast, very little staining was observed especially on hemopoietic cell populations in the developing liver. The antibodies identified a component of 70,000 m.w., comigrating on SDS-PAGE with red cell DAF, on isolated trophoblast membranes and an apparently quantitative increase in the expression of DAF was observed during placental development. Northern analysis using a DAF cDNA clone revealed 1.5-, 1.6-, and 2.2-kb mRNA transcripts typical of DAF in mRNA prepared from whole term placentae and from purified trophoblast cells. DAF appears to be preferentially expressed at the fetomaternal interface during development and may function specifically to inhibit amplification convertases formed at this site either directly or indirectly as a result of maternal complement activation. This molecule may play an important role in protecting the semiallogeneic human conceptus from maternal C-mediated attack.

  • A role for ASIC3 in the modulation of high-intensity pain stimuli. 12060708

    Acid-sensing ion channel 3 (ASIC3), a proton-gated ion channel of the degenerins/epithelial sodium channel (DEG/ENaC) receptor family is expressed predominantly in sensory neurons including nociceptive neurons responding to protons. To study the role of ASIC3 in pain signaling, we generated ASIC3 knockout mice. Mutant animals were healthy and responded normally to most sensory stimuli. However, in behavioral assays for pain responses, ASIC3 null mutant mice displayed a reduced latency to the onset of pain responses, or more pain-related behaviors, when stimuli of moderate to high intensity were used. This unexpected effect seemed independent of the modality of the stimulus and was observed in the acetic acid-induced writhing test (0.6 vs. 0.1-0.5%), in the hot-plate test (52.5 and 55 vs. 50 degrees C), and in tests for mechanically induced pain (tail-pinch vs. von Frey filaments). We postulate that ASIC3 is involved in modulating moderate- to high-intensity pain sensation.
