  • Increased p75 neurotrophin receptor expression in the canine distemper virus model of multiple sclerosis identifies aldynoglial schwann cells that emerge in response to a ... 22072443

    Gliogenesis under pathophysiological conditions is of particular clinical relevance since it may provide regeneration-promoting cells recruitable for therapeutic purposes. There is accumulating evidence that aldynoglial cells with Schwann cell-like growth-promoting properties emerge in the lesioned CNS. However, the characterization of these cells and the signals triggering their in situ generation have remained enigmatic. In the present study, we used the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75(NTR) ) as a marker for Schwann cells to study gliogenesis in the well-defined canine distemper virus (CDV)-induced demyelination model. White matter lesions of CDV-infected dogs contained bi- to multipolar, p75(NTR) -expressing cells that neither expressed MBP, GFAP, BS-1, or P0 identifying oligodendroglia, astrocytes, microglia, and myelinating Schwann cells nor CDV antigen. Interestingly, p75(NTR) -expression became apparent prior to the onset of demyelination in parallel to the expression of β-amyloid precursor protein (β-APP), nonphosphorylated neurofilament (n-NF), BS-1, and CD3, and peaked in subacute lesions with inflammation. To study the role of infiltrating immune cells during differentiation of Schwann cell-like glia, organotypic slice cultures from the normal olfactory bulb were established. Despite the absence of infiltrating lymphocytes and macrophages, a massive appearance of p75(NTR) -positive Schwann-like cells and BS-1-positive microglia was noticed at 10 days in vitro. It is concluded that axonal damage as an early signal triggers the differentiation of tissue-resident precursor cells into p75(NTR) -expressing aldynoglial Schwann cells that retain an immature pre-myelin state. Further studies have to address the role of microglia during this process and the regenerative potential of aldynoglial cells in CDV infection and other demyelinating diseases. © 2011 Wiley-Liss, Inc.Copyright © 2011 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

  • A key role for calpains in retinal ganglion cell death. 18055788

    The purpose of this study was to examine the importance of calpains in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) apoptosis and the protection afforded by calpain inhibitors against cell death.Two different models of RGC apoptosis were used, namely the RGC-5 cell line after either intracellular calcium influx or serum withdrawal and retinal explant culture involving optic nerve axotomy. Flow cytometry analysis with Annexin V/PI staining was used to identify RGC-5 cells undergoing apoptosis after treatment. TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) was used to identify cells undergoing apoptosis in retinal explant sections under various conditions. Serial sectioning was used to isolate the cell population of the ganglion cell layer (GCL). Western blotting was used to demonstrate calpain cleavage and activity by detecting cleaved substrates.In the RGC-5 cell line, the authors reported the activation of mu-calpain and m-calpain after serum starvation and calcium ionophore treatment, with concurrent cleavage of known calpain substrates. They found that the inhibition of calpains leads to the protection of cells from apoptosis. In the second model, after a serial sectioning method to isolate the cells of the ganglion cell layer (GCL) on a retinal explant paradigm, protein analysis indicated the activation of calpains after axotomy, with concomitant cleavage of calpain substrates. The authors found that inhibition of calpains significantly protected cells in the GCL from cell death.These results suggest that calpains are crucial for apoptosis in RGCs after calcium influx, serum starvation, and optic nerve injury.
