Transient receptor potential canonical channel (TRPC) is a nonselective cation channel permeable to Ca2+, which express in many cell types, including neurons. However the alterations in TRPC receptor expressions in response to status epilepticus (SE) have not been explored. Therefore, the present study was designated to elucidate the roles of TRPC3 in neuronal death and vasogenic edema within the rat piriform cortex (PC) following SE. In non-SE animals, TRPC3 immunoreactivity was abundantly detected in the PC. Following SE, TRPC3 immunoreactivity was increased in neurons. Furthermore, TRPC3 expression was detected in endothelial cells that did not contain it in non-SE animals. Loss of SMI-71 (a blood–brain barrier antigen) immunoreactivity was also observed in TRPC3 positive endothelial cells. In addition, FJB positive neurons and vasogenic edema were noticeably detected in the PC. To directly determine whether TRPC3 activation is correlated to SE-induced vasogenic edema formation and neuronal damages in the PC, the effect of Pyr-3 (a TRPC3 antagonist) on SE-induced insults were investigated. Pyr-3 infusion effectively attenuated vasogenic edema in the PC as compared to the vehicle. Therefore, our findings indicate that TRPC3 activation/overexpression induced by SE may involve BBB disruption and neuronal damages in the rat PC following SE. Therefore, the present study was TRPC3 may play an important role in SE-induced vasogenic edema formation through BBB disruptions in the rat PC. 相似文献

Four trichothecene mycotoxins – the type A trichothecenes T2-toxin and diacetoxyscirpenol and the type B trichothecenes nivalenol and deoxynivalenol – were studied. The effects of these mycotoxins on the expression of the sequentially expressed activation markers CD69, CD25, and CD71 and on proliferation of human lymphocytes were studied in culture with a duration of up to 72 h.All the examined toxins affected activation marker expression in a similar way. After 6 h, the CD69 expression was lower in exposed cultures compared to controls. After 24 and 48 h of exposure, an increased frequency of cells expressing CD69 was found in exposed cultures, indicating a delay in downregulation of CD69 expression. Stimulation of CD25 expression was observed for doses below the IC50 value, while suppression was found for higher doses. The pattern was different from that detected for CD69 expression, in that an increased expression of CD25 never occurred after exposure to the highest concentration of the toxin, and in that no stimulatory effects were found after 48 h of exposure, indicating that the response was inhibited and not delayed. The effects of toxin exposure on CD71 expression were in many respects similar to the effects on CD25 expression.We conclude that the trichothecene mycotoxins investigated in this study inhibited the cell cycle in a similar way and exert their main antiproliferative action rather early in the cell cycle, before or in conjunction with CD25 expression. 相似文献

Members of the Deinococcaceae (e.g., Thermus, Meiothermus, Deinococcus) contain A/V-ATPases typically found in Archaea or Eukaryotes which were probably acquired by horizontal gene transfer. Two methods were used to quantify the extent to which archaeal or eukaryotic genes have been acquired by this lineage. Screening of a Meiothermus ruber library with probes made against Thermoplasma acidophilum DNA yielded a number of clones which hybridized more strongly than background. One of these contained the prolyl tRNA synthetase (RS) gene. Phylogenetic analysis shows the M. ruber and D. radiodurans prolyl RS to be more closely related to archaeal and eukaryal forms of this gene than to the typical bacterial type. Using a bioinformatics approach, putative open reading frames (ORFs) from the prerelease version of the D. radiodurans genome were screened for genes more closely related to archaeal or eukaryotic genes. Putative ORFs were searched against representative genomes from each of the three domains using automated BLAST. ORFs showing the highest matches against archaeal and eukaryotic genes were collected and ranked. Among the top-ranked hits were the A/V-ATPase catalytic and noncatalytic subunits and the prolyl RS genes. Using phylogenetic methods, ORFs were analyzed and trees assessed for evidence of horizontal gene transfer. Of the 45 genes examined, 20 showed topologies in which D. radiodurans homologues clearly group with eukaryotic or archaeal homologues, and 17 additional trees were found to show probable evidence of horizontal gene transfer. Compared to the total number of ORFs in the genome, those that can be identified as having been acquired from Archaea or Eukaryotes are relatively few (approximately 1%), suggesting that interdomain transfer is rare. 相似文献

Activation markers and cell proliferation as indicators of toxicity: A flow cytometric approach 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cell proliferation is an attractive endpoint inin vitro toxicity assays, since nearly any kind of damage in a cell may result in altered cell proliferation. In toxicological applications, liquid scintillation counting, measuring radioactivity from tritiated thymidine, has been the traditional way to estimate cell proliferation. An alternative approach is the measurement of BrdU incorporation by flow cytometry. Before the actual DNA synthesis starts, several proteins are expressed on the cell surface, as well as intracellularly. Among the markers on the cell surface CD69, CD25, and CD71 are sequentially expressed on human lymphocytes after a mitogenic stimulation. The aim of this study was to evaluate information obtained by analysis of expression of activation markers on cell surfaces in lymphocyte subsets and to compare it with data from cell proliferation studies performed by liquid scintillation counting and BrdU flow cytometry. The experiments were performed with phytohemagglutinin-stimulated human lymphocytes exposed to ochratoxin A and cyclosporin A. While ochratoxin A-treated cultures showed a steep inhibition with increasing concentration, the cyclosporin A treatment gave an inhibition curve with a less steep slope. Activation marker studies showed that the effect of treatment with both of the toxins was more pronounced on the late markers CD25 and CD71, while CD69 had the advantage that significant effects could be detected as early as 6 h after ochratoxin A treatment. Cyclosporin A treatment induced only minor alterations in CD69 expression. Certain differences in expression of activation markers between CD4+ and CD8+ subsets were found both in ochratoxin A- and cyclosporin A-treated cultures. A stimulating effect was found in cell cultures exposed to the lowest concentration of ochratoxin A on CD69 and CD25 expression. Signs of an increase in frequencies of proliferating cells measured with the BrdU flow cytometry method were also seen. This increase could not be detected with liquid scintillation counting. No other differences between the liquid scintillation counting and BrdU flow cytometry measurements of proliferation were obtained. We conclude that studies of activation marker expression by the flow cytometric approach used in this report are useful complements to traditional measurements of cell proliferation as they yield subsetspecific information about cellular processes which precede proliferation of lymphocytes.Abbreviations

In this study, temporal and spatial distribution of three TGF‐β isoforms and their downstream signaling pathways including pSmad2 and p38MAPK were examined during fibrotic wound repair. In normal chick corneas, TGF‐β1, ‐2, and ‐3 were weakly detected in Bowman's layer (BL). In healing corneas, TGF‐β1 was primarily deposited in the fibrin clot and the unwounded BL. TGF‐β2 was highly expressed in healing epithelial and endothelial cells, and numerous active fibroblasts/myofibroblasts. TGF‐β3 was mainly detected in the unwound region of basal epithelial cells. α‐Smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA) was initially appeared in the posterior region of repairing stroma at day 3, and was detected in the entire healing stroma by day 7. Notably, α‐SMA was absent in the central region of healing stroma by day 14, and its staining pattern was similar to those of TGF‐β2 and p38MAPK. By contrast, pSmad2 was mainly detected in the fibroblasts. In normal cornea, laminin was mainly detected in both epithelial basement membrane (BM) and Descemet's membrane (DM). By contrast to reconstitution of the BM in the wound region, the DM was not repaired although endothelial layer was regenerated, indicating that high levels of TGF‐β2 were released into the posterior region of healing stroma on day 14. High levels of α‐SMA staining, shown in cultured repair stromal cells from healing corneas on day 14 and in TGF‐β2 treated normal stromal cells, were significantly reduced by p38MAPK inhibition. Collectively, this study suggests that TGF‐β2‐mediated myofibroblast transformation is mediated, at least partly, by the p38MAPK pathway in vivo. J. Cell.

Klarsicht/ANC-1/Syne/homology (KASH)/Sad-1/UNC-84 (SUN) protein pairs can act as connectors between cytoplasmic organelles and the nucleoskeleton. Caenorhabditis elegans ZYG-12 and SUN-1 are essential for centrosome–nucleus attachment. Although SUN-1 has a canonical SUN domain, ZYG-12 has a divergent KASH domain. Here, we establish that the ZYG-12 mini KASH domain is functional and, in combination with a portion of coiled-coil domain, is sufficient for nuclear envelope localization. ZYG-12 and SUN-1 are hypothesized to be outer and inner nuclear membrane proteins, respectively, and to interact, but neither their topologies nor their physical interaction has been directly investigated. We show that ZYG-12 is a type II outer nuclear membrane (ONM) protein and that SUN-1 is a type II inner nuclear membrane protein. The proteins interact in the luminal space of the nuclear envelope via the ZYG-12 mini KASH domain and a region of SUN-1 that does not include the SUN domain. SUN-1 is hypothesized to restrict ZYG-12 to the ONM, preventing diffusion through the endoplasmic reticulum. We establish that ZYG-12 is indeed immobile at the ONM by using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching and show that SUN-1 is sufficient to localize ZYG-12 in cells. This work supports current models of KASH/SUN pairs and highlights the diversity in sequence elements defining KASH domains. 相似文献
