Background
The ability to measure the concentrations of small damaging and signalling molecules such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vivo is essential to understanding their biological roles. While a range of methods can be applied to in vitro systems, measuring the levels and relative changes in reactive species in vivo is challenging.Scope of review
One approach towards achieving this goal is the use of exomarkers. In this, exogenous probe compounds are administered to the intact organism and are then transformed by the reactive molecules in vivo to produce a diagnostic exomarker. The exomarker and the precursor probe can be analysed ex vivo to infer the identity and amounts of the reactive species present in vivo. This is akin to the measurement of biomarkers produced by the interaction of reactive species with endogenous biomolecules.Major conclusions and general significance
Our laboratories have developed mitochondria-targeted probes that generate exomarkers that can be analysed ex vivo by mass spectrometry to assess levels of reactive species within mitochondria in vivo. We have used one of these compounds, MitoB, to infer the levels of mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide within flies and mice. Here we describe the development of MitoB and expand on this example to discuss how better probes and exomarkers can be developed. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Current methods to study reactive oxygen species - pros and cons and biophysics of membrane proteins. Guest Editor: Christine Winterbourn. 相似文献12.

Presenilins regulate calcium homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum, and dysregulation of intracellular calcium has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease. Elevated presenilin-1 (PS1) holoprotein levels have been detected in postmortem brains of patients carrying familial Alzheimer disease (FAD) PS1 mutations. This study examines the effect of the FAD presenilin mutant that lacks the ninth exon (PS1 ?E9) and does not undergo endoproteolysis on store-operated calcium (SOC) entry. Significant enhancement of SOC channel activation was detected by electrophysiological measurements in hippocampal neurons with PS1 ?E9 mutant expression. Here, we show that (i) the hyperactivation of SOC channels is mediated by the STIM1 sensor and can be attenuated by STIM1 knockdown or 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate application, (ii) the STIM2 is not involved in pathological changes of SOC entry, (iii) the pathological SOC entry demonstrates properties of both TRPC and Orai subunit composition, and (iiii) transgenic Drosophila flies with PS1 ?E9 expression in the cholinergic neuron system show short-term memory loss, which can be abolished by 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate feeding. 相似文献

Salmonella (S.) enterica subspecies enterica serovar Choleraesuis, the swine-adapted serovar is found rarely in Western European countries including Germany. However,
the regional laboratory of the federal state Thuringia in Germany examined diseased wild boars routinely also for the occurrence
of Salmonella organisms. Between 2006 and 2008, only the serovar S. Choleraesuis was islolated from 24 animals, three strains isolated from domestic pigs were included. In order to detect a
possible epidemiological context, the strains of S. Choleraesuis were characterised by macrorestriction and plasmid analysis, repetitive sequence PCR, antimicrobial testing
and determining the biochemical profile. A combination of all methods enabled the identification of five epidemiological groups.
Two groups were detected in the same territory but three other discriminative groups were predominant in different regions.
S. Choleraesuis strains of the different epidemiological groups circulate in wild boar populations in the corresponding regions.
However, it could be concluded that both natural barriers like mountains and artificial barriers like arterial roads may cause
the separation of wild boar populations and as a result also the respective S. Choleraesuis organisms. The occurrence of the identical epidemiological groups in wild boars and domestic pigs indicates
the possible mutual exposure of the pathogen. To avoid risks for human and domestic pig health regular inspection of meat
from wildlife by official veterinarians and advice of hunters and persons who prepare and consume wild boar meat should be
enhanced. 相似文献

An expression sequence tag identified in a screen for genes upregulated by retinoic acid induced neuronal differentiation of the human teratocarcinoma cell line Ntera2/D1 was found in close genomic proximity to a region of high sequence homology to the septin subfamily of GTPase genes. We could show that the tag corresponds to the 3' untranslated region of this novel gene named septin 3 and cloned three isoforms A (2191 bp), B (4378 bp), and C (1896 bp) from human Ntera2/D1 cDNA. We present the genomic localization and organization on chromosome 22q13.2, a chromosomal hot spot for translocations implicated in leukemia. Interestingly, MSF the closest paralog of septin 3 is a fusion partner in a therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia. Quantitative PCR confirmed the upregulation of the putative septin by neuronal differentiation and northern blotting showed only one band corresponding to sep3B with a neurospecific expression pattern in adult human tissues. 相似文献

Apoptosis and autophagy are fundamental homeostatic processes in eukaryotic organisms fulfilling essential roles in development and adaptation. Recently, the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2 has been reported to also inhibit autophagy, thus establishing a potential link between these pathways, but the mechanistic details are only beginning to emerge. Here we show that Bcl-2 directly binds to the phagophore-associated protein GABARAP. NMR experiments revealed that the interaction critically depends on a three-residue segment (EWD) of Bcl-2 adjacent to the BH4 region, which is anchored to one of the two hydrophobic pockets on the GABARAP molecule. This is at variance with the majority of GABARAP interaction partners identified previously, which occupy both hydrophobic pockets simultaneously. Bcl-2 affinity could also be detected for GEC1, but not for other mammalian Atg8 homologs. Finally, we provide evidence that overexpression of Bcl-2 inhibits lipidation of GABARAP, a key step in autophagosome formation, possibly via competition with the lipid conjugation machinery. These results support the regulatory role of Bcl-2 in autophagy and define GABARAP as a novel interaction partner involved in this intricate connection. 相似文献

The mouse hippocampal cell line HT22 is an excellent model for studying the consequences of endogenous oxidative stress. Addition of extracellular glutamate depletes the cells of glutathione (GSH) by blocking the glutamate−cystine antiporter system xc−. GSH is the main antioxidant in neurons and its depletion induces a well-defined program of cell death called oxytosis, which is probably synonymous with the iron-dependent form of non-apoptotic cell death termed ferroptosis. Oxytosis is characterized by an increase of reactive oxygen species and a strong calcium influx preceding cell death. We found a significant reduction in store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) in glutamate-resistant HT22 cells caused by downregulation of the Ca2+ channel ORAI1, but not the Ca2+ sensors STIM1 or STIM2. Pharmacological inhibition of SOCE mimicked this protection similarly to knockdown of ORAI1 by small interfering RNAs. Long-term calcium live-cell imaging after induction of the cell death program showed a specific reduction in Ca2+-positive cells by ORAI1 knockdown. These results suggest that dysregulated Ca2+ entry through ORAI1 mediates the detrimental Ca2+ entry in programmed cell death induced by GSH depletion. As this detrimental Ca2+ influx occurs late in the course of the cell death program, it might be amenable to therapeutic intervention in diseases caused by oxidative stress. 相似文献

Myocardial infarction is one of the leading causes of death in the Western world. The similarity of the mouse heart to the human heart has made it an ideal model for testing novel therapeutic strategies.In vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) gives excellent views of the heart noninvasively with clear anatomical detail, which can be used for accurate functional assessment. Contrast agents can provide basic measures of tissue viability but these are nonspecific. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a complementary technique that is highly specific for molecular imaging, but lacks the anatomical detail of MRI. Used together, these techniques offer a sensitive, specific and quantitative tool for the assessment of the heart in disease and recovery following treatment.In this paper we explain how these methods are carried out in mouse models of acute myocardial infarction. The procedures described here were designed for the assessment of putative protective drug treatments. We used MRI to measure systolic function and infarct size with late gadolinium enhancement, and PET with fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) to assess metabolic function in the infarcted region. The paper focuses on practical aspects such as slice planning, accurate gating, drug delivery, segmentation of images, and multimodal coregistration. The methods presented here achieve good repeatability and accuracy maintaining a high throughput. 相似文献
