APLP1 and APLP2, members of the APP family of proteins,behave similarly to APP in that they associate with NMDA receptors and enhance NMDA receptor surface expression 下载免费PDF全文
The function of amyloid precursor protein (APP) is unknown, although the discovery that it contributes to the regulation of surface expression of N‐methyl‐d ‐aspartate (NMDA) receptors has afforded new insights into its functional significance. Since APP is a member of a gene family that contains two other members, amyloid precursor‐like proteins 1 and 2 (APLP1 and APLP2), it is important to determine if the related APP proteins possess the same properties as APP with respect to their interactions with NMDA receptors. Following expression in mammalian cells, both APLP1 and APLP2 behaved similarly to APP in that they both co‐immunoprecipitated with the two major NMDA receptor subtypes, GluN1/GluN2A and GluN1/GluN2B, via interaction with the obligatory GluN1 subunit. Immunoprecipitations from detergent extracts of adult mammalian brain showed co‐immunoprecipitation of APLP1 and APLP2 with GluN2A‐ and GluN2B‐containing NMDA receptors. Furthermore, similarly to APP, APLP1 and APLP2 both enhanced GluN1/GluN2A and GluN1/GluN2B cell surface expression. Thus, all the three members of the APP gene family behave similarly in that they each contribute to the regulation of cell surface NMDA receptor homoeostasis.

The effect of psychoactive drugs on depression has usually been studied in cases of prolonged drug addiction and/or withdrawal, without much emphasis on the effects of subchronic or recreational drug use. To address this issue, we exposed laboratory rats to subchronic regimens of heroin or cocaine and tested long‐term effects on (i) depressive‐like behaviors, (ii) brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in reward‐related brain regions, and (iii) depressive‐like behavior following an additional chronic mild stress procedure. The long‐term effect of subchronic cocaine exposure was a general reduction in locomotor activity whereas heroin exposure induced a more specific increase in immobility during the forced swim test. Both cocaine and heroin exposure induced alterations in BDNF levels that are similar to those observed in several animal models of depression. Finally, both cocaine and heroin exposure significantly enhanced the anhedonic effect of chronic mild stress. These results suggest that subchronic drug exposure induces depressive‐like behavior which is accompanied by modifications in BDNF expression and increases the vulnerability to develop depressive‐like behavior following chronic stress. Implications for recreational and small‐scale drug users are discussed.

Urotensin II (U‐II) is a cyclic undecapeptide that regulates cardiovascular function at central and peripheral sites. The functional role of U‐II nucleus ambiguus, a key site controlling cardiac tone, has not been established, despite the identification of U‐II and its receptor at this level. We report here that U‐II produces an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in retrogradely labeled cardiac vagal neurons of nucleus ambiguus via two pathways: (i) Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum via inositol 1,4,5‐trisphosphate receptor; and (ii) Ca2+ influx through P/Q‐type Ca2+ channels. In addition, U‐II depolarizes cultured cardiac parasympathetic neurons. Microinjection of increasing concentrations of U‐II into nucleus ambiguus elicits dose‐dependent bradycardia in conscious rats, indicating the in vivo activation of the cholinergic pathway controlling the heart rate. Both the in vitro and in vivo effects were abolished by the urotensin receptor antagonist, urantide. Our findings suggest that, in addition, to the previously reported increase in sympathetic outflow, U‐II activates cardiac vagal neurons of nucleus ambiguus, which may contribute to cardioprotection.

Growth factors and nutrients, such as amino acids and glucose, regulate mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling and subsequent translational control in a coordinated manner. Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), the most prominent neurotrophic factor in the brain, activates mTORC1 and induces phosphorylation of its target, p70S6 kinase (p70S6K), at Thr389 in neurons. BDNF also increases mammalian target of rapamycin‐dependent novel protein synthesis in neurons. Here, we report that BDNF‐induced p70S6K activation is dependent on glucose, but not amino acids, sufficiency in cultured cortical neurons. AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) is the molecular background to this specific nutrient dependency. Activation of AMPK, which is induced by glucose deprivation, treatment with pharmacological agents such as 2‐Deoxy‐d ‐glucose, metformin, and 5‐aminoimidazole‐4‐carboxamide ribonucleoside or forced expression of a constitutively active AMPKα subunit, counteracts BDNF‐induced phosphorylation of p70S6K and enhanced protein synthesis in cortical neurons. These results indicate that AMPK inhibits the effects of BDNF on mTORC1‐mediated translation in neurons.

Mature brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (mBDNF) plays a vital role in the nervous system, whereas proBDNF elicits neurodegeneration and neuronal apoptosis. Although current enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been widely used to measure BDNF levels, it cannot differentiate mBDNF from proBDNF. As the function of proBDNF differs from mBDNF, it is necessary to establish an ELISA assay specific for the detection of mBDNF. Therefore, we aimed to establish a new mBDNF‐specific sandwich ELISA. In this study, we have screened and found a combination of antibodies for a sandwich ELISA. A monoclonal antibody and sheep anti‐BDNF were chosen as capture and detection antibody for sandwich ELISA respectively. The new ELISA showed no cross‐reactivity to human recombinant NT‐3, NT‐4, nerve growth factor and negligible cross‐reactivity (0.99–4.99%) for proBDNF compared to commercial ELISA kits (33.18–91.09%). The application of the new mBDNF ELISA was shown through the measurement of mBDNF levels in different brain regions of rats and in the brain of β‐site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1)?/? and WT mice and compared to western blot. Overall, this new ELISA will be useful for the measurement of mBDNF levels with high specificity.

Ghrelin regulates phasic dopamine and nucleus accumbens signaling evoked by food‐predictive stimuli 下载免费PDF全文
Environmental stimuli that signal food availability hold powerful sway over motivated behavior and promote feeding, in part, by activating the mesolimbic system. These food‐predictive cues evoke brief (phasic) changes in nucleus accumbens (NAc) dopamine concentration and in the activity of individual NAc neurons. Phasic fluctuations in mesolimbic signaling have been directly linked to goal‐directed behaviors, including behaviors elicited by food‐predictive cues. Food‐seeking behavior is also strongly influenced by physiological state (i.e., hunger vs. satiety). Ghrelin, a stomach hormone that crosses the blood‐brain barrier, is linked to the perception of hunger and drives food intake, including intake potentiated by environmental cues. Notwithstanding, whether ghrelin regulates phasic mesolimbic signaling evoked by food‐predictive stimuli is unknown. Here, rats underwent Pavlovian conditioning in which one cue predicted the delivery of rewarding food (CS+) and a second cue predicted nothing (CS?). After training, we measured the effect of ghrelin infused into the lateral ventricle (LV) on sub‐second fluctuations in NAc dopamine using fast‐scan cyclic voltammetry and individual NAc neuron activity using in vivo electrophysiology in separate groups of rats. LV ghrelin augmented both phasic dopamine and phasic increases in the activity of NAc neurons evoked by the CS+. Importantly, ghrelin did not affect the dopamine nor NAc neuron response to the CS?, suggesting that ghrelin selectively modulated mesolimbic signaling evoked by motivationally significant stimuli. These data demonstrate that ghrelin, a hunger signal linked to physiological state, can regulate cue‐evoked mesolimbic signals that underlie food‐directed behaviors.

This review explores the evolving landscape of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-based genetically encoded fluorescent indicators (GEFIs), with a focus on their development, structural components, engineering strategies, and applications. We highlight the unique features of this indicator class, emphasizing the importance of both the sensing domain (GPCR structure and activation mechanism) and the reporting domain (circularly permuted fluorescent protein (cpFP) structure and fluorescence modulation). Further, we discuss indicator engineering approaches, including the selection of suitable cpFPs and expression systems. Additionally, we showcase the diversity and flexibility of their application by presenting a summary of studies where such indicators were used. Along with all the advantages, we also focus on the current limitations as well as common misconceptions that arise when using these indicators. Finally, we discuss future directions in indicator engineering, including strategies for screening with increased throughput, optimization of the ligand-binding properties, structural insights, and spectral diversity.

Two types of syntaxin 1 isoforms, HPC‐1/syntaxin 1A (STX1A) and syntaxin 1B (STX1B), are thought to have similar functions in exocytosis of synaptic vesicles. STX1A?/? mice which we generated previously develop normally, possibly because of compensation by STX1B. We produced STX1B?/? mice using targeted gene disruption and investigated their phenotypes. STX1B?/? mice were born alive, but died before postnatal day 14, unlike STX1A?/? mice. Morphologically, brain development in STX1B?/? mice was impaired. In hippocampal neuronal culture, the cell viability of STX1B?/? neurons was lower than that of WT or STX1A?/? neurons after 9 days. Interestingly, STX1B?/? neurons survived on WT or STX1A?/? glial feeder layers as well as WT neurons. However, STX1B?/? glial feeder layers were less effective at promoting survival of STX1B?/? neurons. Conditioned medium from WT or STX1A?/? glial cells had a similar effect on survival, but that from STX1B?/? did not promote survival. Furthermore, brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) or neurotrophin‐3 supported survival of STX1B?/? neurons. BDNF localization in STX1B?/? glial cells was disrupted, and BDNF secretion from STX1B?/? glial cells was impaired. These results suggest that STX1A and STX1B may play distinct roles in supporting neuronal survival by glia.

Taste information from type III taste cells to gustatory neurons is thought to be transmitted via synapses. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying taste transduction through this pathway have not been fully elucidated. In this study, to identify molecules that participate in synaptic taste transduction, we investigated whether complexins (Cplxs), which play roles in regulating membrane fusion in synaptic vesicle exocytosis, were expressed in taste bud cells. Among four Cplx isoforms, strong expression of Cplx2 mRNA was detected in type III taste cells. To investigate the function of CPLX2 in taste transduction, we observed taste responses in CPLX2‐knockout mice. When assessed with electrophysiological and behavioral assays, taste responses to some sour stimuli in CPLX2‐knockout mice were significantly lower than those in wild‐type mice. These results suggested that CPLX2 participated in synaptic taste transduction from type III taste cells to gustatory neurons.

New neurons generated in the ventricular‐subventricular zone in the post‐natal brain travel toward the olfactory bulb by using a collective cell migration process called ‘chain migration.’ These new neurons show a saltatory movement of their soma, suggesting that each neuron cycles through periods of ‘rest’ during migration. Here, we investigated the role of the resting neurons in chain migration using post‐natal mouse brain, and found that they undergo a dynamic morphological change, in which a deep indentation forms in the cell body. Inhibition of Rac1 activity resulted in less indentation of the new neurons in vivo. Live cell imaging using a Förster resonance energy transfer biosensor revealed that Rac1 was activated at the sites of contact between actively migrating and resting new neurons. On the cell surface of resting neurons, Rac1 activation coincided with the formation of the indentation. Furthermore, Rac1 knockdown prevented the indentation from forming and impaired migration along the resting neurons. These results suggest that Rac1 regulates a morphological change in the resting neurons, which allows them to serve as a migratory scaffold, and thereby non‐cell‐autonomously promotes chain migration.
