Invasion of tissue culture cells by diarrhoeagenic strains of Escherichia coli which lack the enteroinvasive inv gene

Abstract Invasive Escherichia coli strains of certain serotypes invade by the same mechanism as the Shigella sp. It has been proposed that invasion of epithelial cells by EPEC strains may also occur; this is a previously overlooked property. In the present study E. coli strains isolated from patients with diarrhoea or ulcerative colitis, lacking the inv plasmid mediating classical invasion, but hybridizing with probes for different adhesins, were analyzed for their ability to invade HeLa and Caco-2 cells. The majority of strains invaded Caco-2 cells to a higher extent than HeLa cells. Adhesion to Caco-2 cells was a prerequisite for subsequent invasion of the cells but EAF, eae , EAgg and other known virulence factors were not sufficient to mediate invasion. In 8/9 E. coli strains invasion was enhanced after growth under iron restriction. Growth during anaerobic conditions did not influence subsequent invasion by E. coli strains whereas 6/9 strains had their invasive ability significantly decreased after growth in the presence of 1% glucose. The invasive process was inhibited by mannose but not by lactose, fucose or galactose. Our data indicate that strains of E. coli may invade Caco-2 cells by novel mechanisms which require adhesion to the cells but which differ from those of Salmonella sp., Yersinia sp., Shigella sp. and classical enteroinvasive E. coli .     

Sodium channels in cultured neuroblastoma cells grown in high glucose or l-Fucose

Patch clamp techniques were used to record whole cell and single channel Na⁺ currents from NB41A3 neuroblastoma cells grown in culture. Cells were grown for two weeks in control medium or medium supplemented with 30 mm d-glucose of 30 mm l-fucose.Cells exposed to glucose or l-fucose had smaller whole cell Na⁺ currents than cells grown in unsupplemented medium, consistent with earlier studies (Yorek, Stefani & Wachtel, 1994). Whole cell macroscopic currents showed no change in activation or inactivation kinetics. Single channel current properties and opening probability were also unchanged.The number of [³H]saxitoxin binding sites, and therefore the total number of Na⁺ channels, was not reduced in cells grown in glucose or l-fucose (Yorek et al., 1994). Therefore, we conclude that some of the channels must have been rendered nonfunctional by the conditioning media. The finding that single channel properties are not altered suggests that channels become nonfunctional in an all-or-none manner.This work was supported by Merit Review Awards to M.A. Yorek and R.E.

Identification and characterization of regulatory elements in the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase gene PCK1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase is a key enzyme in gluconeogenesis. The expression of the PCK1 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is strictly regulated and dependent on the carbon source provided. Two upstream activation sites (UAS1_PCK1 and UAS2_PCK1) and one upstream repression site (URS_PCK1) were localized by detailed deletion analysis. The efficacy of these three promoter elements when separated from each other was confirmed by investigations using heterologous promoter test plasmids. Activation mediated by UAS1_PCK1 or UAS2_PCK1 did not occur in the presence of glucose, indicating that these elements are essential for glucose derepression. The repressing effect caused by URS_PCK1 was much stronger in glucose-grown cells than in ethanol-grown cells.

In Vitro Induction of Apoptosis or Differentiation by Dopamine in an Immortalized Olfactory Neuronal Cell Line

Abstract: Amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) is deposited as insoluble fibrils in the brain parenchyma and cerebral blood vessels in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In addition to neuronal degeneration, cerebral vascular alterations indicative of damage to vascular endothelial cells and disruption of the blood-brain barrier occur in AD. Here we report that Aβ25-35 can impair regulatory functions of endothelial cells (ECs) from porcine pulmonary artery and induce their death. Subtoxic exposures to Aβ25-35 induced albumin transfer across EC monolayers and impaired glucose transport into ECs. Cell death induced by Aβ25-35 was of an apoptotic form, characterized by DNA condensation and fragmentation, and prevented by inhibitors of macromolecular synthesis and endonucleases. The effects of Aβ25-35 were specific because Aβ1-40 also induced apoptosis in ECs with the apoptotic cells localized to the microenvironment of Aβ1-40 aggregates and because astrocytes did not undergo similar changes after exposure to Aβ25-35. Damage and death of ECs induced by Aβ25-35 were attenuated by antioxidants, a calcium channel blocker, and a chelator of intracellular calcium, indicating the involvement of free radicals and dysregulation of calcium homeostasis. The data show that Aβ induces increased permeability of EC monolayers to macromolecules, impairs glucose transport, and induces apoptosis. If similar mechanisms are operative in vivo, then Aβ and other amyloidogenic peptides may be directly involved in vascular EC damage documented in AD and other disorders that involve vascular amyloid accumulation.     

Oleic Acid Inhibits Gap Junction Permeability and Increases Glucose Uptake in Cultured Rat Astrocytes

Abstract: The role of oleic acid in the modulation of gap junction permeability was studied in cultured rat astrocytes by the scrape-loading/Lucifer yellow transfer technique. Incubation with oleic acid caused a dose-dependent inhibition of gap junction permeability by 79.5% at 50 µ M , and no further inhibition was observed by increasing the oleic acid concentration to 100 µ M . The oleic acid-mediated inhibition of gap junction permeability was reversible and was prevented by bovine serum albumin. The potency of oleic acid-related compounds in inhibiting gap junction permeability was arachidonic acid > oleic acid > oleyl alcohol > palmitoleic acid > stearic acid > octanol > caprylic acid > palmitic acid > methyloleyl ester. Oleic acid and arachidonic acid, but not methyloleyl ester, increased glucose uptake by astrocytes. Neither oleic acid nor arachidonic acid increased glucose uptake in the poorly coupled glioma C6 cells. These results support that the inhibition of gap junction permeability is associated with the increase in glucose uptake. We suggest that oleic acid may be a physiological mediator of the transduction pathway leading to the inhibition of intercellular communication.

Relationship of alpha MSH-specific neurons to the arcuate opiocortin neuronal system as determined by dual antigen immunocytochemical procedures

The cross-immunoreactivity, topography, and fiber projections of the alpha MSH-immunoreactive specific neurons in the forebrain of the rat appear to be distinctly different from that of the neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate opiocortin system. The cell bodies, immunoreactive only to -MSH, have a specific pattern of distribution in the dorsal and lateral hypothalamic regions from the level of the retrochiasmatic region to the premammillary area of the posterior hypothalamus. Immunoreactive fibers of these cells appear to extend into regions of the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. An antomical relationship between the immunostained fibers and/or terminals of the arcuate opiocortin pool of neurons and the -MSH-immunoreactive perikarya is described utilizing the ABC (Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex) and ABC-GO (Glucose Oxidase) or glucose oxidase-antiglucose oxidase complex methods of immunocytochemistry in which two tissue antigens with contrasting colors are demonstrated in the same tissue section.
