KIM, ANNA STIEBER, and STRATIS AVRAMEAS From the Division of Neuropathology, Department of Pathology, University of PennsylvaniaSchool of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19174, and the Laboratory of Immunocytochemistry,Pasteur Institute, Paris, France ABSTRACT Conjugates of ricin agglutinin and phytohemagglutinin with horseradish peroxi- dase (HRP) were used for a cytochemical study of internalization of their plasma membrane "receptors" in cultured isolated mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons. Labeling of cells with lectin-HRP was done at 4~ and internalization was performed at 37~ in a culture medium free of lectin-HRP. 15-30 rain after incubation at 37~ lectin-HRP-receptor complexes were seen in vesicles or tubules located near the plasma membrane. After 1-3 h at 37~ lectin-HRP- receptor complexes accumulated in vesicles and tubules corresponding to acid phosphatase-rich vesicles and tubules (GERL) at the trans aspect of the Golgi apparatus. A few coated vesicles and probably some dense bodies contained HRP after 3-6 h of incubation at 37~ Soluble HRP was not endocytosed under the conditions of this experiment or when it was present in the incubation medium at 37~ Internalization of lectin-HRP-receptor conjugates was decreased or in- hibited by mitochondrial respiration inhibitors but not by cytochalasin B or colchicine. These studies indicate that lectin-labeled plasma membrane moieties of neurons are endocytosed primarily in elements of GERL. Considerable information concerning the mobility tors" for ricin (Ric) and phytohemagglutinin and distribution of plasma membrane proteins has (PHA) labeled with horseradish peroxidase been gained with the use of various ligands.

In particular, cardiac fibrosis is considered as a major factor causing myocardial infarction and heart failure. In particular, oxidative stress is a major cause of heart fibrosis. In order to control such oxidative stress, the importance of nuclear factor erythropoietin 2 related factor 2 (NRF2) has recently been highlighted. In this review, we will discuss the activation of NRF2 by docosahexanoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and the specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) derived from polyunsaturated lipids, including DHA and EPA. Additionally, we will discuss their effects on cardiac fibrosis via NRF2 activation. Keywords: cardiac fibrosis; NRF2; lipoxins; resolvins; maresins; neuroprotectins 1. Introduction Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide [1]. Cardiac fibrosis is a major factor leading to the progression of myocardial infarction and heart failure [2]. Cardiac fibrosis is characterized by the net accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins in the cardiac stroma and ultimately impairs cardiac function [3]. Therefore, interest in substances with cardioprotective activity continues.

One example is the Wnt signalling pathway that seems to depend on endocytosis of the ligand-receptor complex for initiation of Wnt signal transduction. To date, the roles of diferent endocytic pathways in Wnt signalling, molecular players and the kinetics of the process remain unclear. Here, we monitored endocytosis in Wnt3a and Wnt5a-mediated signalling with membrane capacitance recordings of HEK293 cells. Our measurements revealed a swift and substantial increase in the number of endocytic vesicles. Extracellular Wnt ligands specifcally triggered endocytotic activity, which started immediately upon ligand binding and ceased within a period of ten minutes. By using specifc inhibitors, we were able to separate Wnt-induced endocytosis into two independent pathways. We demonstrate that canonical Wnt3a is taken up mainly by clathrin-independent endocytosis whereas noncanonical Wnt5a is exclusively regulated via clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Our fndings show that membrane capacitance recordings allow the resolution of complex cellular processes in plasma membrane signalling pathways in great detail. Wnt signalling is a highly-conserved signalling pathway with important functions in development, tissue-homeostasis, stem cell biology and many diseases, including cancer. Afer three decades of dedicated research we have come to understand many of the fundamental components of Wnt signalling pathways.

    EFFECT OF PHAGOCYTOSIS ON MEMBRANE TRANSPORT OF NONELECTROLYTES* BY MIN-FU TSAN, M.D., AND RICHARD D. BERLIN, M.D.:~ (From the Department of Physiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115) (Received for publication 3 June 1971) Phagocytosis and carrier-mediated membrane transport are two distinct membrane functions by which substances are translocated across the plasma membrane. Yet, little is known about the distribution of these functions over the cell surface. During phagocytosis, a part of the plasma membrane is internalized (1, 2). This internalized membrane may include transport sites (carriers). On the other hand, transport sites may be distributed in such a way that different parts of the plasma membrane are involved in transport and phagocytosis. In this study, the activities of specific transport systems were determined before and after large portions of the surface membrane had been interiorized by phagocytosis of inert particles. Five separate transport systems characterized in this laboratory, whose activity can be measured with great sensitivity, have been examined: adenosine 1 and two adenine (3) transport systems in rabbit po]ymorphonuclear leukocytes; adenosine 2 and lysine (4) transport systems in alveolar macrophages. The results show that the rates of transport were un- affected in all systems, even after an estimated 35-50% of the membrane had been internalized. It was also shown that the constancy of transport did not depend on the introduction into the surface of new transport sites during phago- cytosis. The results indicate that the membrane is mosaic in character with geographically separate transport and phagocytic sites. Materials and Methods Animals.--New Zealand white rabbits of either sex, weighing between 2 and 4 kg each, were used.
