  • Enhanced Ca2+ Influx in Mechanically Distorted Erythrocytes Measured with 19F Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Enhanced Ca2+ infux in mechanically distorted erythrocytes measured with 19F nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy Philip W. Kuchel1*, Konstantin Romanenko1, Dmitry Shishmarev2, Petrik Galvosas3 & Charles D. Cox4,5 We present the frst direct nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) evidence of enhanced entry of Ca2+ ions into human erythrocytes (red blood cells; RBCs), when these cells are mechanically distorted. For this we loaded the RBCs with the fuorinated Ca2+ chelator, 1,2-bis(2-amino-5-fuorophenoxy)ethane- N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (5FBAPTA), and recorded 19F NMR spectra. The RBCs were suspended in gelatin gel in a special stretching/compression apparatus. The 5FBAPTA was loaded into the cells as the tetraacetoxymethyl ester; and 13C NMR spectroscopy with [1,6-13C]d-glucose as substrate showed active glycolysis albeit at a reduced rate in cell suspensions and gels. The enhancement of Ca2+ infux is concluded to be via the mechanosensitive cation channel Piezo1. The increased rate of infux brought about by the activator of Piezo1, 2-[5-[[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)methyl]thio]-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]- pyrazine (Yoda1) supported this conclusion; while the specifcity of the cation-sensing by 5FBAPTA was confrmed by using the Ca2+ ionophore, A23187.

  • (EGF) in the Regulation of Ion Channels in the Calu-3 Submucosal Cell Line
    The Novel Role of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) in the regulation of ion channels in the Calu-3 submucosal cell line Craig S. Clements BSc MSc A Thesis Presented to Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Norwich Medical School University of East Anglia In Fulfilment of the Requirements of the University of East Anglia for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2012 © This copy of thesis has been supplied on the condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived from it, may be published without the author’s prior written consent. Declaration I hereby declare that the work in this thesis is my own work and effort and that it has not been submitted anywhere for any award. Where other sources of information have been used, they have been acknowledged. Signature: Date: 6th September, 2012 2 Abstract Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a cell membrane bound chloride ion channel regulated by cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation and levels of intracellular ATP. Mutations in this channel, such as the common deletion of phenylalanine at residue 508 (CFTRΔF508), leads to a decrease in chloride transport seen in the disease condition cystic fibrosis (CF). The mutant CFTR is not processed in the normal way and consequently not delivered to the cell membrane. Currently, the effect of growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) on ion transport in the airway has not been previously researched and is consequently unknown. Therefore the aim of this thesis is to determine (i) if EGF has an effect on ion transport in the submucosal cell line Calu-3, (ii) what the mechanisms are behind this, and (iii) if the effect of EGF was due to induction of gelatinase activity or a transactivation process.

Dynamic actin-rich protrusions known as invadopodia facilitate this invasive process. Ion channels have also been linked to a pro-invasive phenotype and may contribute to facilitating invadopodia activity in cancer cells. The aim of our study was to screen ion channel-targeting drugs for their cytotoxic efficacy and potential anti-invadopodia properties in glioblastoma cells. We demonstrated that the targeting of ion channels in glioblastoma cells can lead to a reduction in invadopodia activity and protease secretion.

  • I REGENERATIVE MEDICINE APPROACHES to SPINAL CORD
    REGENERATIVE MEDICINE APPROACHES TO SPINAL CORD INJURY A Dissertation Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Ashley Elizabeth Mohrman March 2017 i ABSTRACT Hundreds of thousands of people suffer from spinal cord injuries in the U.S.A. alone, with very few patients ever experiencing complete recovery. Complexity of the tissue and inflammatory response contribute to this lack of recovery, as the proper function of the central nervous system relies on its highly specific structural and spatial organization. The overall goal of this dissertation project is to study the central nervous system in the healthy and injured state so as to devise appropriate strategies to recover tissue homeostasis, and ultimately function, from an injured state. A specific spinal cord injury model, syringomyelia, was studied; this condition presents as a fluid filled cyst within the spinal cord. Molecular evaluation at three and six weeks post-injury revealed a large inflammatory response including leukocyte invasion, losses in neuronal transmission and signaling, and upregulation in important osmoregulators. These included osmotic stress regulating metabolites betaine and taurine, as well as the betaine/GABA transporter (BGT-1), potassium chloride transporter (KCC4), and water transporter aquaporin 1 (AQP1). To study cellular behavior in native tissue, adult neural stem cells from the subventricular niche were differentiated in vitro. These cells were tested under various culture conditions for cell phenotype preferences. A mostly pure (>80%) population of neural stem cells could be specified using soft, hydrogel substrates with a laminin coating and interferon-γ supplementation.

  • Human Neuronal Changes in Brain Edema and Increased Intracranial
    Faragó et al. Acta Neuropathologica Communications (2016) 4:78 DOI 10.1186/s40478-016-0356-x RESEARCH Open Access Human neuronal changes in brain edema and increased intracranial pressure Nóra Faragó1,2,3, Ágnes Katalin Kocsis1, Csilla Braskó1, Sándor Lovas1, Márton Rózsa1, Judith Baka1, Balázs Kovács1, Katalin Mikite1, Viktor Szemenyei1, Gábor Molnár1, Attila Ozsvár1, Gáspár Oláh1, Ildikó Piszár1, Ágnes Zvara2, Attila Patócs4, Pál Barzó5, László G. Puskás2,3 and Gábor Tamás1* Abstract Functional and molecular changes associated with pathophysiological conditions are relatively easily detected based on tissue samples collected from patients. Population specific cellular responses to disease might remain undiscovered in samples taken from organs formed by a multitude of cell types. This is particularly apparent in the human cerebral cortex composed of a yet undefined number of neuron types with a potentially different involvement in disease processes. We combined cellular electrophysiology, anatomy and single cell digital PCR in human neurons identified in situ for the first time to assess mRNA expression and corresponding functional changes in response to edema and increased intracranial pressure. In single pyramidal cells, mRNA copy numbers of AQP1, AQP3, HMOX1, KCNN4, SCN3B and SOD2 increased, while CACNA1B, CRH decreased in edema. In addition, single pyramidal cells increased the copy number of AQP1, HTR5A and KCNS1 mRNAs in response to increased intracranial pressure. In contrast to pyramidal cells, AQP1, HMOX1and KCNN4 remained unchanged in single cell digital PCR performed on fast spiking cells in edema. Corroborating single cell digital PCR results, pharmacological and immunohistochemical results also suggested the presence of KCNN4 encoding the α-subunit of KCa3.1 channels in edema on pyramidal cells, but not on interneurons.

  • In Vitro Generation of Functional Murine Heart Organoids Via FGF4
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-18031-5 OPEN In vitro generation of functional murine heart organoids via FGF4 and extracellular matrix ✉ Jiyoung Lee 1 , Akito Sutani1,2, Rin Kaneko1, Jun Takeuchi3, Tetsuo Sasano4, Takashi Kohda1,5, Kensuke Ihara3, ✉ Kentaro Takahashi3, Masahiro Yamazoe3, Tomohiro Morio2, Tetsushi Furukawa3 & Fumitoshi Ishino 1 Our understanding of the spatiotemporal regulation of cardiogenesis is hindered by the difficulties in modeling this complex organ currently by in vitro models. Here we develop a 1234567890():,; method to generate heart organoids from mouse embryonic stem cell-derived embryoid bodies. Consecutive morphological changes proceed in a self-organizing manner in the presence of the laminin-entactin (LN/ET) complex and fibroblast growth factor 4 (FGF4), and the resulting in vitro heart organoid possesses atrium- and ventricle-like parts containing cardiac muscle, conducting tissues, smooth muscle and endothelial cells that exhibited myocardial contraction and action potentials. The heart organoids exhibit ultrastructural, histochemical and gene expression characteristics of considerable similarity to those of developmental hearts in vivo. Our results demonstrate that this method not only provides a biomimetic model of the developing heart-like structure with simplified differentiation pro- tocol, but also represents a promising research tool with a broad range of applications, including drug testing. 1 Department of Epigenetics, Medical Research Institute, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU), Tokyo 113-8510, Japan. 2 Department of Pediatrics and Developmental Biology, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU), Tokyo 113-8510, Japan. 3 Department of Bio-Informational Pharmacology, Medical Research Institute, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU), Tokyo 113-8510, Japan.

  • Subcellular Localization of K+ Channels in Mammalian Brain Neurons: Remarkable Precision in the Midst of Extraordinary Complexity
    Neuron Review Subcellular Localization of K+ Channels in Mammalian Brain Neurons: Remarkable Precision in the Midst of Extraordinary Complexity James S. Trimmer1,2,* 1Department of Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior 2Department of Physiology and Membrane Biology University of California, Davis, Davis, CA 95616, USA *Correspondence: [email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2014.12.042 Potassium channels (KChs) are the most diverse ion channels, in part due to extensive combinatorial assem- bly of a large number of principal and auxiliary subunits into an assortment of KCh complexes. Their structural and functional diversity allows KChs to play diverse roles in neuronal function. Localization of KChs within specialized neuronal compartments defines their physiological role and also fundamentally impacts their activity, due to localized exposure to diverse cellular determinants of channel function. Recent studies in mammalian brain reveal an exquisite refinement of KCh subcellular localization. This includes axonal KChs at the initial segment, and near/within nodes of Ranvier and presynaptic terminals, dendritic KChs found at sites reflecting specific synaptic input, and KChs defining novel neuronal compartments. Painting the remarkable diversity of KChs onto the complex architecture of mammalian neurons creates an elegant pic- ture of electrical signal processing underlying the sophisticated function of individual neuronal compart- ments, and ultimately neurotransmission and behavior. Introduction genes are expressed in distinct cellular expression patterns Mammalian brain neurons are distinguished from other cells by throughout the brain, such that particular neurons express spe- extreme molecular and structural complexity that is intimately cific combinations of KCh a and auxiliary subunits. However, the linked to the array of intra- and intercellular signaling events proteomic complexity of KChs is much greater, as KChs exist as that underlie brain function.

Early diagnosis of multiple myeloma is difficult as it has no symptoms until it reaches an advanced stage. Therefore, key genes involved in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma might be significant markers for early diagnosis and treatment of the disease. We analyzed the differentially expressed genes in patients with multiple myeloma using sequencing microarrays from the GEO da- tabase. Combined with GO and KEGG analysis, we identified ITGA8 as a key target in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma, and further verified the differential expression of ITGA8 in myeloma cell lines by rtPCR experiments. Our study contributes to a better understanding of the development of multiple myeloma and advances the application of bioinformatics in clinical diagnosis.
