1 Evidence for Gliadin Antibodies As Causative Agents in Schizophrenia
1 Evidence for gliadin antibodies as causative agents in schizophrenia. C.J.Carter PolygenicPathways, 20 Upper Maze Hill, Saint-Leonard’s on Sea, East Sussex, TN37 0LG [email protected] Tel: 0044 (0)1424 422201 I have no fax Abstract Antibodies to gliadin, a component of gluten, have frequently been reported in schizophrenia patients, and in some cases remission has been noted following the instigation of a gluten free diet. Gliadin is a highly immunogenic protein, and B cell epitopes along its entire immunogenic length are homologous to the products of numerous proteins relevant to schizophrenia (p = 0.012 to 3e-25). These include members of the DISC1 interactome, of glutamate, dopamine and neuregulin signalling networks, and of pathways involved in plasticity, dendritic growth or myelination. Antibodies to gliadin are likely to cross react with these key proteins, as has already been observed with synapsin 1 and calreticulin. Gliadin may thus be a causative agent in schizophrenia, under certain genetic and immunological conditions, producing its effects via antibody mediated knockdown of multiple proteins relevant to the disease process. Because of such homology, an autoimmune response may be sustained by the human antigens that resemble gliadin itself, a scenario supported by many reports of immune activation both in the brain and in lymphocytes in schizophrenia. Gluten free diets and removal of such antibodies may be of therapeutic benefit in certain cases of schizophrenia. 2 Introduction A number of studies from China, Norway, and the USA have reported the presence of gliadin antibodies in schizophrenia 1-5. Gliadin is a component of gluten, intolerance to which is implicated in coeliac disease 6. -
Epha4/Tie2 Crosstalk Regulates Leptomeningeal Collateral Remodeling Following Ischemic Stroke
EphA4/Tie2 crosstalk regulates leptomeningeal collateral remodeling following ischemic stroke Benjamin Okyere, … , John B. Matson, Michelle H. Theus J Clin Invest. 2019. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI131493. Research In-Press Preview Neuroscience Vascular biology Leptomeningeal anastomoses or pial collateral vessels play a critical role in cerebral blood flow (CBF) restoration following ischemic stroke. The magnitude of this adaptive response is postulated to be controlled by the endothelium, although the underlying molecular mechanisms remain under investigation. Here we demonstrated that endothelial genetic deletion, using EphA4f/f/Tie2-Cre and EphA4f/f/VeCahderin-CreERT2 mice and vessel painting strategies, implicated EphA4 receptor tyrosine kinase as a major suppressor of pial collateral remodeling, CBF and functional recovery following permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion. Pial collateral remodeling is limited by the cross talk between EphA4-Tie2 signaling in vascular endothelial cells, which is mediated through p-Akt regulation. Furthermore, peptide inhibition of EphA4 resulted in acceleration of the pial arteriogenic response. Our findings demonstrate EphA4 is a negative regulator of Tie2 receptor signaling which limits pial collateral arteriogenesis following cerebrovascular occlusion. Therapeutic targeting of EphA4 and/or Tie2 represents an attractive new strategy for improving collateral function, neural tissue health and functional recovery following ischemic stroke.

The carbonic anhydrase from a family of enzymes that catalyze the rapid interconversion of carbon dioxide and water to bicarbonate and protons, a reversible reaction that occurs relatively slowly in the absence of catalyst. The active 1 Recombinant human Carbonic Anhydrase XIII protein Catalog Number: ATGP3059 site of most carbonic anhydrases contains a zinc ion; they are claasified as metalloenzymes. There are at least five distinct CA families (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon). These families have no significant amino acid sequence similarity and in most cases are thought to be an example of convergent evolution. The alpha-CAs are found in humans. -

ALCAM Regulates Mediolateral Retinotopic Mapping in the Superior Colliculus

Maness1 1Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599, and 2Department of Biology, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 52242 ALCAM [activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (BEN/SC-1/DM-GRASP)] is a transmembrane recognition molecule of the Ig superfamily (IgSF) containing five Ig domains (two V-type, three C2-type). Although broadly expressed in the nervous and immune systems, few of its developmental functions have been elucidated. Because ALCAM has been suggested to interact with the IgSF adhesion molecule L1, a determi- nant of retinocollicular mapping, we hypothesized that ALCAM might direct topographic targeting to the superior colliculus (SC) by serving as a substrate within the SC for L1 on incoming retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons. ALCAM was expressed in the SC during RGC axon targeting and on RGC axons as they formed the optic nerve; however, it was downregulated distally on RGC axons as they entered the SC. Axon tracing with DiI revealedpronouncedmistargetingofRGCaxonsfromthetemporalretinahalfofALCAMnullmicetoabnormallylateralsitesinthecontralateral SC, in which these axons formed multiple ectopic termination zones.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated. -

Diabetes results from pancreatic inability to secrete the insulin needed to overcome this resistance.
