  • Induction of amyloid-β(1-42) in the retina and optic nerve head of chronic ocular hypertensive monkeys. 23170058

    Recent studies have indicated that accumulation of amyloid β(1-42) (Aβ(1-42)), which is associated with the progression of Alzheimer disease, may also be responsible for retinal ganglion cell death in glaucoma. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression and localization of Aβ(1-42) in the retina and the optic nerve head (ONH) of monkeys with experimental glaucoma.Five cynomolgus monkeys with a glaucomatous left eye at 4, 9, 11, 15, and 24 weeks after laser photocoagulation treatment were studied by immunohistochemical methods. Another two cynomolgus monkeys with a glaucomatous left eye at 133 weeks after laser photocoagulation treatment were used to measure Aβ(1-42) concentrations in the retina by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.At 11 to 24 weeks after the laser photocoagulation treatment, Aβ(1-42) was upregulated in the nerve fiber layer (NFL) and the ganglion cell layer (GCL) of the retina and the ONH, but the expression of amyloid precursor protein decreased in the NFL and ONH from levels at 9 weeks. The localizations of Aβ(1-42) were merged in glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive astroglial cells but not phosphorylated neurofilament heavy- or nonphosphorylated neurofilament heavy-positive axons in the retina and the ONH. Likewise, Aβ(1-42) concentrations in the retina of monkeys increased in the chronic stage of glaucoma.These findings indicate that the upregulation of Aβ(1-42) after an intraocular pressure elevation could apply to monkeys since the structure of the ONH is more similar to humans than that of rodents.

  • Identification of novel candidate genes involved in mineralization of dental enamel by genome-wide transcript profiling. 21809343

    The gene repertoire regulating vertebrate biomineralization is poorly understood. Dental enamel, the most highly mineralized tissue in mammals, differs from other calcifying systems in that the formative cells (ameloblasts) lack remodeling activity and largely degrade and resorb the initial extracellular matrix. Enamel mineralization requires that ameloblasts undergo a profound functional switch from matrix-secreting to maturational (calcium transport, protein resorption) roles as mineralization progresses. During the maturation stage, extracellular pH decreases markedly, placing high demands on ameloblasts to regulate acidic environments present around the growing hydroxyapatite crystals. To identify the genetic events driving enamel mineralization, we conducted genome-wide transcript profiling of the developing enamel organ from rat incisors and highlight over 300 genes differentially expressed during maturation. Using multiple bioinformatics analyses, we identified groups of maturation-associated genes whose functions are linked to key mineralization processes including pH regulation, calcium handling, and matrix turnover. Subsequent qPCR and Western blot analyses revealed that a number of solute carrier (SLC) gene family members were up-regulated during maturation, including the novel protein Slc24a4 involved in calcium handling as well as other proteins of similar function (Stim1). By providing the first global overview of the cellular machinery required for enamel maturation, this study provide a strong foundation for improving basic understanding of biomineralization and its practical applications in healthcare.

  • Effects of gastric bypass surgery on insulin resistance and insulin secretion in nondiabetic obese patients. 21494227

    Roux-en-Y-Gastric-Bypass (RYGB) reduces overall and diabetes-specific mortality by 40% and over 90%. This study aims to gain insight into the underlying mechanisms of this effect. We evaluated time-courses of glucose, insulin, C-peptide, and the incretin glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) following an oral glucose load. Insulin-sensitivity was measured by a hyperinsulinemic-isoglycemic-clamp-test; glucose-turnover was determined using D-[6,6-(2)H(2)] glucose. Examinations were performed in six nondiabetic patients with excess weight before (PRE: BMI: 49.3 ± 3.2 kg/m(2)) and 7 months after RYGB (POST: BMI: 36.7 ± 2.9 kg/m(2)), in a lean (CON: BMI: 22.6 ± 0.6 kg/m(2)) and an obese control group (CONob) without history of gastrointestinal surgery (BMI: 34.7 ± 1.2 kg/m(2)). RYGB reduced fasting plasma concentrations of insulin and C-peptide (P < 0.01, respectively) whereas fasting glucose concentrations remained unchanged. After RYGB increase of C-peptide concentration following glucose ingestion was significantly higher compared to all other groups (dynamic-area under the curve (Dyn-AUC): 0-90 min: POST: 984 ± 115 ng·min/ml, PRE: 590 ± 67 ng·min/ml, CONob: 440 ± 44 ng·min/ml, CON: 279 ± 22 ng·min/ml, P < 0.01 respectively). Early postprandial increase of glucose concentration was however not affected. GLP-1 concentrations following glucose ingestion were sixfold higher after RYBG than before (P = 0.01). Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake tended to increase postoperatively (M-value: PRE: 1.8 ± 0.5, POST: 3.0 ± 0.3, not significant (n.s.)). Endogenous glucose production (EGP) was unaffected by RYGB. Hepatic insulin resistance index improved after RYGB and was then comparable to both control groups (PRE: 29.2 ± 4.3, POST: 12.6 ± 1.1, P < 0.01). RYGB results in hyper-secretion of insulin and C-peptide, whereas improvements of insulin resistance are minor and seem to occur rather in the liver and the adipose tissue than in the skeletal muscle.

  • Imatinib mesylate as a cause of acute liver failure. 16493605

    A 46-year-old patient diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia in whom cytogenetic and molecular remission had never been achieved was commenced on Imatinib Mesylate (Gleevec, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp., East Hanover, NJ). After 18 months of treatment, she developed abnormal liver function tests and subsequently acute liver failure, requiring transfer to the regional liver unit. The patient proceeded to liver transplantation but later died. The explanted liver had histological features of severe hepatic necrosis. This is the first case described of fatal hepatic necrosis in a patient who has have been on long-term imatinib therapy. This may have implications for long-term use of the drug and emphasizes the need for regular monitoring of liver function.

  • Attenuation of dopamine transporter activity by alpha-synuclein. 12672538

    Alpha-synuclein accumulates in Lewy bodies in idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Neither the normal function nor contribution of alpha-synuclein to the pathophysiology of neurodegeneration is known. Here we show that a normal function of alpha-synuclein is the negative modulation of human dopamine transporter (hDAT) activity. In cotransfected Ltk(-) cells, alpha-synuclein attenuated the reuptake of dopamine by hDAT, in a manner dependent on expression levels of alpha-synuclein. Alpha-synuclein-mediated inhibition of hDAT activity was independent of expression vectors, cell types and methods of transfection. The alpha-synuclein-mediated decrease in DAT activity occurred through diminished uptake velocity of dopamine, without changes in the affinity of hDAT for dopamine. Co-immunoprecipitation studies confirmed the formation of a stable complex between alpha-synuclein and DAT, through direct protein:protein interactions. Thus, under normal (non-toxic) expression conditions, alpha-synuclein negatively modulates dopamine uptake by DAT.

  • Coordinated repression of cell cycle genes by KDM5A and E2F4 during differentiation. 23093672

    Epigenetic regulation underlies the robust changes in gene expression that occur during development. How precisely epigenetic enzymes contribute to development and differentiation processes is largely unclear. Here we show that one of the enzymes that removes the activating epigenetic mark of trimethylated lysine 4 on histone H3, lysine (K)-specific demethylase 5A (KDM5A), reinforces the effects of the retinoblastoma (RB) family of transcriptional repressors on differentiation. Global location analysis showed that KDM5A cooccupies a substantial portion of target genes with the E2F4 transcription factor. During ES cell differentiation, knockout of KDM5A resulted in derepression of multiple genomic loci that are targets of KDM5A, denoting a direct regulatory function. In terminally differentiated cells, common KDM5A and E2F4 gene targets were bound by the pRB-related protein p130, a DREAM complex component. KDM5A was recruited to the transcription start site regions independently of E2F4; however, it cooperated with E2F4 to promote a state of deepened repression at cell cycle genes during differentiation. These findings reveal a critical role of H3K4 demethylation by KDM5A in the transcriptional silencing of genes that are suppressed by RB family members in differentiated cells.

  • Patches of mutant p53-immunoreactive epidermal cells induced by chronic UVB Irradiation harbor the same p53 mutations as squamous cell carcinomas in the skin of hairless ... 15867351

    Treatment of SKH-1 hairless mice with UVB (30 mJ/cm(2)) twice a week for 20 weeks results in the formation of cellular patches, long before the appearance of tumors, that are visualized in epidermal sheets with an antibody (PAb240) recognizing mutated p53 protein. Direct sequencing analysis of the whole coding region of the p53 gene (exons 2-11) detected one or two mutations in 64.4% of 104 analyzed patches and no mutations in nonstained adjacent normal controls. Homozygous mutation was detected in 22.4% of the mutant patches. Except for two nonsense mutations, all others were missense (exons 4-9) and mostly (95.5%) at the DNA-binding domain. Primer extension analysis of cloned PCR fragments found three of four double-mutated patches harboring different mutations in separate alleles. All mutation hotspots reported earlier in UVB-induced mouse squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) at codons 270 (Arg --> Cys), 149 (Pro --> Ser), 275 (Pro --> Leu and Pro --> Ser), and 176 (His --> Tyr) with a frequency of 32.1%, 7.1%, 14.7%, and 3.2% were detected in epidermal patches at a frequency 47.7%, 9.1%, 4.5%, and 2.3%, respectively. Mutations at codons 210 and 191 found in patches at respective frequencies of 8.0% and 4.5% were not previously detected in UVB-induced mouse SCC. In summary, (a) the p53 mutation profile of UVB-induced skin patches and SCC was very similar suggesting that patches are precursor lesions for SCC, (b) a small number of patches harbored mutations that were not before observed in SCC from UVB-treated mice, and (c) about 36% of the patches did not harbor a p53 mutation.

  • Co-ingestion of a protein hydrolysate with or without additional leucine effectively reduces postprandial blood glucose excursions in Type 2 diabetic men. 16614419

    This study examined postprandial plasma insulin and glucose responses after co-ingestion of an insulinotropic protein (Pro) hydrolysate with and without additional free leucine with a single bolus of carbohydrate (Cho). Male patients with long-standing Type 2 diabetes (n = 10) and healthy controls (n = 10) participated in 3 trials in which plasma glucose, insulin, and amino acid responses were determined after the ingestion of beverages of different composition (Cho: 0.7 g/kg carbohydrate, Cho+Pro: 0.7 g/kg carbohydrate with 0.3 g/kg protein hydrolysate, or Cho+Pro+Leu: 0.7 g/kg carbohydrate, 0.3 g/kg protein hydrolysate and 0.1 g/kg free leucine). Plasma insulin responses [expressed as area under the curve (AUC)] were 141 and 204% greater in patients with Type 2 diabetes and 66 and 221% greater in the controls in the Cho+Pro and Cho+Pro+Leu trials, respectively, compared with those in the Cho trial (P 0.05). The concomitant plasma glucose responses were 15 and 12% lower in the patients with Type 2 diabetes and 92 and 97% lower in the control group in the Cho+Pro and Cho+Pro+Leu trials, respectively, compared with those in the Cho trial (P 0.05). Plasma leucine concentrations correlated with the insulin response in all subjects (r = 0.43, P 0.001). We conclude that co-ingestion of a protein hydrolysate with or without additional free leucine strongly augments the insulin response after ingestion of a single bolus of carbohydrate, thereby significantly reducing postprandial blood glucose excursions in patients with long-standing Type 2 diabetes.

  • P300 plays a role in p16(INK4a) expression and cell cycle arrest. 17906698

    As a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, p16(INK4a) plays a key role in cell cycle progression and cellular differentiation, and its expression is frequently altered in human cancers through epigenetically mediated transcriptional silencing. In this report, we demonstrate that p300 was able to induce cell cycle arrest, and this process was reversed by p16(INK4a) silencing by RNA interference in HeLa cells. We also show that p300 was involved in activation of p16(INK4a) expression in 293T cells. Specifically, p300 cooperated with Sp1 to stimulate both p16(INK4a) promoter activity and mRNA expression. Co-immunoprecipitation and mammalian two-hybrid assays revealed that p300 and Sp1 formed a complex through interaction between the Q domain of p300 and the N-terminal domain of Sp1. The chromatin immunoprecipitation assays verified that p300 was recruited to p16(INK4a) promoter, and the histone acetyltransferase domain of p300 participated in p16(INK4a) activation through inducing hyperacetylation of histone H4 at p16(INK4a) gene. These data suggest that p300 plays a critical role in transcriptional regulation of p16(INK4a) and in cell cycle arrest.

  • Constitutive expression of the brg1 gene requires GC-boxes near to the transcriptional start site. 21149256

    We previously reported that BRG1, an ATPase subunit of SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complexes, is constitutively expressed and that the alternative ATPase subunit (BRM) is inducibly expressed through differentiation in mammalian cells. In the present study, the regulatory elements that confer constitutive expression on brg1 were explored. First, we analysed the promoter proximal region surrounding its transcriptional start site. Using computer-aided analysis, a TATA-less, GC-rich promoter containing four putative binding sites for Sp1/3 was predicted. One of the putative Sp1/3-binding sites (from -21 to -15 bp) overlapped with a putative YY1-binding site. A gel-shift assay showed that YY1 but not Sp1/3 bound to this sequence and that Sp3 but not Sp1 bound to the other three predicted binding sites. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis showed that Sp3 and YY1 bound to the promoter region together with TATA-binding protein in vivo. In vivo and in vitro binding assays showed that Sp3 and YY1 interacted with each other. Together, these results suggest that Sp3 and YY1 recruit general transcription factors and facilitate the assembly of a preinitiation complex.
