Localization of DJ-1 protein in the murine brain

Mutations in the DJ-1 gene have been identified to cause Parkinson's disease. In humans, nonmutated DJ-1 is expressed in specific brain areas but seems to be expressed by astrocytes rather than by neurons. In contrast, DJ-1 mRNA is mainly found in neurons in the mouse brain. We have investigated the distribution of DJ-1 protein in the mouse brain and found that DJ-1 protein is predominantly expressed by neurons but can also be detected in astrocytes. Consistent with a global role of DJ-1 in the brain, we found immunoreactivity, for example, in cortical areas, hippocampus, basolateral amygdala, the reticular nucleus of the thalamus, zona incerta, and locus coeruleus. Within the substantia nigra, however, DJ-1 is localized in both neuronal and nonneuronal cells, suggesting a distinct role in this area.

Caspase-9-dependent pathway to murine germ cell apoptosis: mediation by oxidative stress,BAX, and caspase 2

Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) of the testis results in germ-cell-specific apoptosis (GCA) and a reduction in daily sperm production. This has been correlated with and is dependent upon neutrophil recruitment to the testis. In a rat model of testicular IR, this has also been correlated with an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS). We have investigated ROS in the mouse testis after IR and determined whether the observed GCA is mediated via a mitochondrial caspase-9-dependent pathway involving the upstream mediators caspase 2 and BAX. Mice were subjected to a 2-h period of testicular ischemia followed by reperfusion. An accumulation of 8-isoprostane, a marker of oxidative stress, occurred 4 h after reperfusion. Activation of a mitochondrial dependent pathway to GCA after testicular IR was determined based on the observations that both BAX and caspase 2 translocated to the mitochondria, and that an increase occurred in cytoplasmic cytochrome c. Moreover, microinfusion of a specific caspase 9 inhibitor significantly reduced active caspase 3 after testicular IR and the number of apoptotic germ cells. These results suggest that oxidative stress products accumulate in the testis following IR and demonstrate that the observed GCA is stimulated through a mitochondrial caspase-9-dependent pathway. The identification of the germ-cell apoptotic pathway induced after testicular IR, including the key players in the pathway subsequent to ROS (BAX, caspase 9, and caspase 2), aids our understanding of IR injury in the testis and provides a wider background for the development of therapeutic interventions to rescue testis function. The work was supported by grants P50 DK45179 and DK53072.     

Infectivity of preserved Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts for immunosuppressed adult mice

Abstract The present study was undertaken to determine the infectivity of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts for immunosup-pressed adult C57BL/6N mice after the oocysts had been stored from 1–48 months at 4°C in 2.5% potassium dichromate. All mice inoculated with oocysts 1–18 months old developed patent infections, while mice inoculated with older oocysts remained uninfected. The prepatent period was extended from 2 to 6 or 7 days as the storage time for oocysts increased. The finding that C. parvum oocysts remain infective for mice for at least 18 months offers important economic and time-saving advantages for investigators who frequently require large numbers of oocysts that must be painstakingly purified from calf manure.     

从C57BL/6J小鼠胚胎中分离ES细胞系(英文)

ＥＳ细胞（ＥｍｂｒｙｏｎｉｃＳｔｅｍＣｅｌｓ）是来源于小鼠早期胚胎的细胞系,它可以在体外大量培养而不失去其发育的多潜能性。ＥＳ细胞不仅可以用来制作转基因动物,而且能够作为载体进行基因打靶等多种研究。目前,国际上常用的胚胎干细胞系都是来源于１２９小鼠的胚胎。因而,有必要探讨用其它品系小鼠建立ＥＳ系。１９９１年,Ｌｅｄｅｒｍａｎｎ等人首次报道从Ｃ５７ＢＬ／６Ｊ小鼠胚胎中建成了ＥＳ细胞系,但是没有对建立的细胞系进行特性分析。国内柴桂萱等人虽然做了特性分析,但是他们所建细胞系的细胞直径较大,生长速度较慢,不同于常见的ＥＳ细胞系。我们从Ｃ５７ＢＬ／６Ｊ品系小鼠胚胎中共分离了四个ＥＳ细胞系,分别命名为ＣＥ１、ＣＥ２、ＣＥ３、ＣＥ４（Ｆｉｇ．１ａ＆ｂ）。这四个细胞系核型正常率均达到７０％以上。我们检查了ＣＥ２细胞的分化能力,当将ＣＥ２细胞注入同基因型小鼠的皮下后,获得的畸胎瘤（Ｆｉｇ．３）组织切片检查的结果表明：该细胞能够分化成多种组织（Ｆｉｇ．２）。我们也研究了ＥＳ细胞的嵌合能力,用ＩＣＲ小鼠胚胎作为受体胚胎,采用囊胚显微注射法构建嵌合鼠。在幸存的幼鼠中我们获得了来源于ＣＥ２细胞的嵌合鼠（Ｔａｂｌｅ１,Ｆｉｇ．４）。综     

Augmentation of the antitumor effect of adoptive immunotherapy by in vivo sensitization of EL-4 lymphoma and pre-treatment with sizofiran

The antitumor effects of adoptive immunotherapy using LAKcells treated with sizofiran (SPG) following in vivoantigen sensitization with EL-4 lymphoma (EsLAK),comparing nonsensitized LAK cells (sLAK), were studied inmice with intraperitoneal implantation of EL-4 lymphoma.EL-4 cells treated with Mitomycin C (100 g /ml) wereintroduced by inoculation into the peritoneum of C57BL/6mice for antigen sensitization. Four days later, SPG (100g) was intramuscularly injected. Three days after SPG administration, mononuclear cells obtained from the spleen were prepared for LAK cells (EsLAK). The following resultswere obtained: 1) The survival period was significantlygreater in the sLAK and EsLAK groups than in the controlgroup. The survival period in the EsLAK group wassignificantly greater than that in the sLAK group. 2) Thenumber of EL-4 cells in the peritoneal exudate cells 11days postimplantation was lowest in the EsLAK group, andthe number of lymphocytes including LGL was largest in theEsLAK group, compared with the sLAK group and the controlgroup. 3 ) The EsLAK cells showed significantly moreenhanced cytotoxic activity against EL-4 than the sLAKcells. 4) Histopathological findingsof metastatic lesions of the liver and spleen stained by HE11 days postimplantation showed less infiltrating tumorcells and more lymphocytic infiltrations in the sLAK andEsLAK groups compared with the control group. Theseresults suggest that induction of LAK cells byadministration of SPG to lymphocytes treated by in vivosensitization with tumor antigen increasesthe efficacy of adoptive immunotherapy.
