Intraperitoneal injection of saline modulates hippocampal brain receptor complex levels but does not impair performance in the Morris Water Maze

The involvement of the hippocampus in pain has been demonstrated but key players, i.e. the major brain receptors have not been shown to be modulated by pain. It was therefore the aim of the study to show the concerted action and pattern of brain receptor complex levels in a non-invasive model of moderate pain. C57BL/6J mice were divided into four groups of 14 animals each: trained injected, trained non-injected, yoked injected and yoked non-injected. Animals were tested in the open field and the elevated plus maze for behavioural evaluation and cognitive functions were tested using the Morris Water Maze. Hippocampi were taken 6 h following sacrification. Membrane proteins were prepared by ultracentrifugation and run on blue native gels to keep the native state, blotted to membranes and western blotting was carried out using the primary antibodies against serotonin receptor 5HT1A, muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M1 (mAChR-M1), nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha7 (nAChR-alpha7), glutamate (AMPA) receptor (GluR1) and neurokinin receptor 1 (NK-1). There was no difference between performance in behaviour or in the MWM between groups. Brain receptor level changes involved all receptors given above. Pain affected mAChR-M1, GluR1 and NK-1 complex levels when yoked-injected were compared with yoked non-injected animals. Memory mechanisms affected mAChR-M1 complex levels when trained non-injected animals were compared with yoked non-injected controls. Taken together, the neurochemical basis for testing receptor agonists/antagonists on the role of pain and the hippocampus was generated that may be useful for interpretations of the role of this complex area in moderate pain.

Immunoglobulins inside Schistosoma japonicum eggs from the livers of mice

Using fluorescent antibody techniques, immunoglobulins (Ig's), mainly IgG class, were detected inside Schistosoma japonicum eggs lodged in mouse liver. Ig's were observed as a focal pattern between the miracidium and the eggshell during early infection (5-7 wk), particularly in lightly infected mice (20 cercariae). With advancement of time of infection (8-18 wk), a diffuse pattern of staining over the miracidial body developed and became predominant. The diffuse pattern of staining could be observed in the eggs taken from heavily infected mice (50 cercariae), during early stage. Eggs showing the focal pattern in a restricted area appeared to be morphologically intact, whereas eggs showing the diffuse pattern exhibited some types of eggshell destruction. We conclude that the focal pattern reflects disintegration of eggs in the initial stage and the diffuse pattern in the advanced stage. This spatial relationship between Ig's and eggs is discussed in relation to destruction of eggs.     

Somatic histone H1 microinjected into fertilized mouse eggs is transported into the pronuclei but does not disrupt subsequent preimplantation development

We injected somatic subtypes of histone H1 into newly fertilized mouse eggs, which do not naturally contain this chromosomal protein, and examined the fate of the injected protein and its effect on preimplantation development of recipient eggs. Rhodamine-labelled H1 injected into the cytoplasm of 53 eggs was transported into the pronuclei in 51 cases, and this nuclear accumulation could be detected within 15 min of injection. Unlabelled histone H1, which was detected using immunofluorescence, was also transported following microinjection to the pronuclei, where it colocalized with the chromatin and remained associated with the nuclei following cleavage to the two-cell stage. Nuclear accumulation of injected H1 was inhibited when injected eggs were incubated in the presence of drugs that prevent mitochondrial electron transport or glycolysis, which indicates that nuclear transport occurs through an energy-dependent process, as previously observed in tissue culture cells. To determine whether the presence of somatic H1 in early embryonic nuclei would influence subsequent development, fertilized eggs were injected with an approximately physiological quantity (1–5 pg) of somatic H1 or, as controls, with another small basic protein, cytochrome c. Fifty-three eggs were injected with cytochrome c, of which 51 divided to the two-cell stage, and 32 (60%) reached the blastocyst stage, after 5 days in culture. One hundred and eleven eggs were injected with somatic H1, of which 95 divided to the two-cell stage, and 53 (48%) reached the blastocyst stage, after 5 days in culture. The two groups did not differ statistically (X², P > 0.1) with respect to the fraction of injected embryos that developed to the blastocyst stage. These results show that, although mouse embryos lack the somatic subtypes of histone H1 until the four-cell stage of development, they are able to progress through preimplantation development when these subtypes are present beginning at the one-cell stage. This may imply that the distinctive chromatin composition that characterizes early embryos of a variety of species is not essential for early development in mammals. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
