  • Differential Gene Expression in Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells, Oligodendrocytes and Type II Astrocytes

China 4Department of Laboratory Medicine, Bengbu Medical College, Bengbu, P.R. China Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) are bipotential progenitor cells that can differentiate into myelin-forming oligodendrocytes or functionally undetermined type II astrocytes. Transplantation of OPCs is an attractive therapy for demyelinating diseases. However, due to their bipotential differentiation potential, the majority of OPCs differentiate into astrocytes at transplanted sites. It is therefore important to understand the molecular mechanisms that regulate the transition from OPCs to oligodendrocytes or astrocytes. In this study, we isolated OPCs from the spinal cords of rat embryos (16 days old) and induced them to differentiate into oligodendrocytes or type II astrocytes in the absence or presence of 10% fetal bovine serum, respectively. RNAs were extracted from each cell population and hybridized to GeneChip with 28,700 rat genes. Using the criterion of fold change > 4 in the expression level, we identified 83 genes that were up-regulated and 89 genes that were down-regulated in oligodendrocytes, and 92 genes that were up-regulated and 86 that were down-regulated in type II astrocytes compared with OPCs.

BREDT2 Biomembrane Research Laboratory, Department of Clinical Microbiology, The Hebrew University- Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem, Israel,' and Institute for General Hygiene and Bacteriology, Center for Hygiene, Albert-Ludwigs- Universitat, D- 7800 Freiburg, West Germany Received for publication 7 February 1978 Pathogenic mycoplasmas adhere to and colonize the epithelial lining of the respiratory and genital tracts ofinfected animals. An experimental system suitable for the quantitative study of mycoplasma adherence has been developed by us. The system consists of human erythrocytes (RBC) and the avian pathogen Mycoplasma gallisepticum, in which membrane lipids were labeled. The amount of mycoplasma cells attached to the RBC, which was determined according to radioactivity measurements, decreased on increasing the pH or ionic strength of the attachment mixture. Attachment followed first-order kinetics and depended on temperature. The mycoplasma cell population remaining in the supernatant fluid after exposure to RBC showed a much poorer ability to attach to RBC during a second attachment test, indicating an unequal distribution of binding sites among cells within a given population. The gradual removal of sialic acid residues from the RBC by neuraminidase was accompanied by a decrease in mycoplasma attachment. Isolated glycophorin, the RBC membrane glycoprotein carrying almost all the sialic acid moieties ofthe RBC, inhibited M. gallisepticum attachment, whereas asialoglycophorin and sialic acid itself were very poor inhibitors of attachment.

  • Prospects for Using Expression Patterns of Paramyxovirus Receptors As Biomarkers for Oncolytic Virotherapy
    cancers Review Prospects for Using Expression Patterns of Paramyxovirus Receptors as Biomarkers for Oncolytic Virotherapy Olga V. Matveeva 1,* and Svetlana A. Shabalina 2,* 1 Sendai Viralytics LLC, 23 Nylander Way, Acton, MA 01720, USA 2 National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20894, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] (O.V.M.); [email protected] (S.A.S.) Received: 27 October 2020; Accepted: 1 December 2020; Published: 5 December 2020 Simple Summary: Some non-pathogenic viruses that do not cause serious illness in humans can efficiently target and kill cancer cells and may be considered candidates for cancer treatment with virotherapy. However, many cancer cells are protected from viruses. An important goal of personalized cancer treatment is to identify viruses that can kill a certain type of cancer cells. To this end, researchers investigate expression patterns of cell entry receptors, which viruses use to bind to and enter host cells. We summarized and analyzed the receptor expression patterns of two paramyxoviruses: The non-pathogenic measles and the Sendai viruses. The receptors for these viruses are different and can be proteins or lipids with attached carbohydrates. This review discusses the prospects for using these paramyxovirus receptors as biomarkers for successful personalized virotherapy for certain types of cancer. Abstract: The effectiveness of oncolytic virotherapy in cancer treatment depends on several factors, including successful virus delivery to the tumor, ability of the virus to enter the target malignant cell, virus replication, and the release of progeny virions from infected cells. The multi-stage process is influenced by the efficiency with which the virus enters host cells via specific receptors.

Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has emerged as one of the most lethal cancers worldwide because of its high refractoriness and multi-drug resistance to existing chemotherapies, which leads to poor patient survival. Novel pharmacological strategies to tackle HCC are based on oral multi-kinase Citation: Devan, A.R.; Kumar, A.R.; inhibitors like sorafenib; however, the clinical use of the drug is restricted due to the limited survival Nair, B.; Anto, N.P.; Muraleedharan, rate and significant side effects, suggesting the existence of a primary or/and acquired drug-resistance A.; Mathew, B.; Kim, H.; Nath, L.R.

  • Decrease of Sialic Acid Residues As an Eat-Me Signal on the Surface of Apoptotic Lymphocytes

Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd doi:10.1242/jcs.066696 Summary The silent clearance of apoptotic cells is essential for cellular homeostasis in multicellular organisms, and several mediators of apoptotic cell recognition have been identified. However, the distinct mechanisms involved are not fully deciphered yet. We analyzed alterations of the glycocalyx on the surfaces of apoptotic cells and its impact for engulfment. After apoptosis induction of lymphocytes, a decrease of 2,6-terminal sialic acids and sialic acids in 2,3-linkage with galactose was observed. Similar changes were to be found on the surface of apoptotic membrane blebs released during early stages of apoptosis, whereas later released blebs showed no impaired, but rather an increased, exposure of sialic acids. We detected an exposure of fucose residues on the surface of apoptotic-cell-derived membrane blebs. Cleavage by neuraminidase of sialic acids, as well as lectin binding to sialic acids on the surfaces, enhanced the engulfment of apoptotic cells and blebs.
