    Non-infectious pulmonary complications including idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS) and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), which are clinical and diagnostic manifestations of lung chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), cause significant mortality after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Increasing evidence suggests that alloantigen reactions in lung tissue play a central role in the pathogenesis of IPS and BOS; however, the mechanism is not fully understood. Several clinical and experimental studies have reported that intra-bone marrow (IBM)-SCT provides high rates of engraftment and is associated with a low incidence of acute GVHD. In the present study, allogeneic SCT was conducted in mouse models of IPS and BOS, to compare intravenous (IV)-SCT with IBM-SCT. Allogeneic IBM-SCT improved the clinical and pathological outcomes of pulmonary complications compared to those of IV-SCT. The mechanisms underlying the reductions in pulmonary complications in IBM-SCT mice were explored. The infiltrating lung cells were mainly CD11b+ myeloid and CD3+ T cells, in the same proportions as in transplanted donor cells. In an in vivo bioluminescence imaging, a higher proportion of injected donor cells was detected in the lung during the early phase (1 h after IV-SCT) than after IBM-SCT (16.7 ± 1.1 vs. 3.1 ± 0.7 × 105 photons/s/animal, IV-SCT vs. IBM-SCT, P = 1.90 × 10-10). In the late phase (5 days) after SCT, there were also significantly more donor cells in the lung after IV-SCT than after IBM-SCT or allogeneic-SCT (508.5 ± 66.1 vs. 160.1 ± 61.9 × 106 photons/s/animal, IV-SCT vs. IBM-SCT, P = 0.001), suggesting that the allogeneic reaction induces sustained donor cell infiltration in the lung during the late phase. These results demonstrated that IBM-SCT is capable of reducing injected donor cells in the lung; IBM-SCT decreases donor cell infiltration. IBM-SCT therefore represents a promising transplantation strategy for reducing pulmonary complications, by suppressing the first step in the pathophysiology of chronic GVHD.

    Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is known to cause zoonotic infections from pigs, wild boars and deer. Domestic pigs have been used as an experimental animal model in medical research and training; however, the risks of HEV infection from pigs during animal experiments are largely unknown. Here, we retrospectively investigated the seroprevalence and detection rates of viral RNA in 73 domestic pigs (average 34.5 kg) introduced into an animal experimental facility in a medical school during 2012-2016. We detected anti-HEV immunoglobulin G antibodies in 24 of 73 plasma samples (32.9%), though none of the samples were positive for viral RNA. Plasma samples of 18 pigs were sequentially monitored and were classified into four patterns: sustained positive (5 pigs), sustained negative (5 pigs), conversion to positive (6 pigs) and conversion to negative (2 pigs). HEV genomes were detected in 2 of 4 liver samples from pigs that were transported from the same farm during 2016-2017. Two viral sequences of the overlapping open reading frame (ORF) 2/3 region (97 bp) were identical and phylogenetically fell into genotype 3. A 459-bp length of the ORF2 region of an amplified fragment from a pig transported in 2017 was clustered with the wbJYG1 isolate (subgenotype 3b) with 91.5% (420/459 bp) nucleotide identity. Based on our results, we suggest that domestic pigs introduced into animal facilities carry a potential risk of HEV infection to researchers, trainees and facility staff. Continuous surveillance and precautions are important to prevent HEV infection in animal facilities.

    BACKGROUND: Hip endoprosthesis is one option for the treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures and avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Few reports are available describing acetabular cartilage metabolism after endoprosthesis surgery of the hip. The purpose of this study was to compare the biological effects on cartilage between cobalt-chrome (Co-Cr) and alumina ceramic heads wherein the cartilage articulates directly. METHODS: We used the acetabular cartilage from six hips of three immature crossbred pigs to examine the effects on cytokines, the amount of hyaluronic acid (HA), and cartilage mRNA expression of ceramic head and Co-Cr head endoprosthesis. Mechanical loading of materials of Co-Cr and ceramic heads was performed on the acetabular cartilage in culture media as an organ culture model. Thereafter, protein levels of cytokines (MMP-1, 3, TNF-alpha (α), Interleukin (IL)-1 alpha (α), and IL-1 beta (β)) and the amount of HA were measured from the culture media. Cartilage RNA extraction was performed, and quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction was performed with primer sets for type I, II, and III collagens; aggrecan; MMP-1, 3, 13; TNF-α; and IL-1 α, IL-1 β. RESULTS: Protein level of IL-1 β and amount of HA in the Co-Cr group were significantly higher than those of the Ceramic group. Type II collagen mRNA expression in the Ceramic group was significantly higher than in the Co-Cr group. IL-1 β mRNA expression was significantly higher in the Co-Cr group than in the Ceramic group. CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed that ceramic bipolar produces smaller adverse effects on cartilage cells compared to Co-Cr bipolar. These results could have significant implications for implant usage not only in hip joints, but also in other joints, including the shoulder, talus and radial head.

    Spina bifida aperta (SBA) is an open neural tube defect that occurs during the embryonic period. We created SBA chicks by incising the roof plate of the neural tube in the embryo. The area of the dorsal funiculus was smaller in the SBA chicks than in the normal controls. Additionally, the SBA group had fewer nerve fibres in the dorsal funiculus than the normal controls. The pathway of the ascending sensory nerves was revealed by tracing the degenerated nerve fibres using osmification. We cut the sciatic nerve (L5) of the control and SBA chicks at the central end of the dorsal root ganglion 1 day after hatching and fixed the tissue 3 days later. Degenerated sensory nerve fibres were observed in the ipsilateral dorsal funiculus in the control chicks. In contrast, degenerated sensory nerve fibres were observed in the ipsilateral and contralateral dorsal, ventral and lateral funiculi of the spinal cord in the SBA chicks. Consequently, fewer sensory nerve fibres ascended to the thoracic dorsal funiculus in the SBA chicks than in the normal controls. This is the first report of abnormal changes in the ascending sensory nerve fibres in SBA.

    The breast cancer susceptibility protein BRCA2 is essential for recombinational DNA repair. BRCA2 specifically binds to RAD51 via eight BRC repeat motifs and delivers RAD51 to double-stranded DNA breaks. In this study, a mammalian two-hybrid assay and competitive ELISA showed that the interaction between BRC repeat 4 (BRC4) and RAD51 was strengthened by the substitution of a single BRC4 amino acid from valine to isoleucine (V1532I). However, the cancer-associated V1532F mutant exhibited very weak interaction with RAD51. This study used a comparative analysis of BRC4 between animal species to identify V1532 as an important residue that interacts with RAD51.

    Spina bifida aperta (SBA) is a congenital malformation of the spinal cord with complications such as spinal ataxia and bowel and bladder dysfunction. We have developed a chick model with surgery-induced SBA that shows spinal ataxia after hatching. In the present study, motor neurons in the early stages in chicks with and without SBA were observed by immunohistochemical staining with a monoclonal antibody against Islet-1, a motor neuron marker. Delay in migration and maturation of motor neurons was observed in SBA. Although the final numbers of Islet-1-positive neurons in these two groups were not different, a defect in the production and elimination of excess motor neurons in the early developmental stages in the SBA group may be involved in the pathological mechanism of the motor complications of this disease.

    Pulmonary surfactant has been used as a carrier to deliver a therapeutic virus to dysfunctional lung cells that reside within an intricate lung structure. To investigate whether pulmonary surfactant enhances the efficacy of intratracheal instillation of a therapeutic virus to target KRAS mutation-bearing lung cancer in vivo, we developed a recombinant adenovirus that induces cell death only in lung cancer cells and injected the adenovirus into a mouse model of KRAS mutation-positive lung cancer intratracheally with and without surfactant. A therapeutic adenovirus that induces cell death only in lung cancer cells was constructed by combining a cancer-specific human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) promoter fused to CCAATIenhancerbinding protein alpha (CEBPa) with a modified lung-specific Clara cell-specific 10-κDa protein (CClO) promoter fused to cytotoxic adenovirus type 5 early region 1A (E1A). CEBPa is induced only in cancer cells and activates the CC10 promoter, which in turn induces cytotoxic E1A, and causes cell death only in lung cancer cells in vitro. This adenovirus was intratracheally administered to the model mice (CCSP-rtTA/Tet-op-K-Ras4bG12D bitransgenic mice) in the presence and absence of pulmonary surfactant. Intratracheally administered therapeutic adenovirus with pulmonary surfactant spread to airways, as well as to the alveolar region of the lung, and caused a reduction of lung tumors developed. The therapeutic adenovirus without pulmonary surfactant spread only to airways and was tenfold less effective in tumor reduction. Here, we demonstrate that pulmonary surfactant is an efficient tool to intratracheally deliver a therapeutic virus to treat KRAS mutation-positive lung cancer in vivo.

    Prosaposin acts as a neurotrophic factor, in addition to its role as the precursor protein for saposins A, B, C, and D, which are activators for specific sphingolipid hydrolases in lysosomes. In rats, the prosaposin gene generates two alternative splicing forms of mRNA: Pro+9 containing a 9-base insertion and Pro+0 without. The expression of these mRNAs changes after brain injury. We examinedthe expression patterns of the alternative splicing forms of prosaposin mRNA in the rat facial nerve nucleus for 52 days following facial nerve transection. Pro+0 mRNA increased within 3 days of transection, peaked after 5-10 days, and remained significantly elevated for 21 days. In contrast, the expression of Pro+9 mRNA was constant throughout the regenerative period. Prosaposin mRNA expression increased not only in facial motoneurons, but also in microglia during facial nerve regeneration. Our findings indicate that the saposin B domain of prosaposin, which is thedomain affected by alternative splicing, plays an important role in both neurons andmicroglia during neuroregeneration.

    Here we present the first evidence that muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) antigen can cause myasthenia in animals. MuSK is expressed at the postsynaptic membranes of neuromuscular junctions (NMJ) and forms complexes with acetylcholine receptors (AChR) and rapsyn. MuSK is activated by agrin, which is released from motoneurons, and induces AChR clustering and subsequent formation of NMJ in embryos. Notably, autoantibodies against MuSK were found in a proportion of patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (MG) but without the characteristic AChR autoantibodies. However, MuSK autoantibodies had no known pathogenic potential, and animals immunized with purified MuSK proteins did not develop MG in former studies. In contrast, we have now injected rabbits with MuSK ectodomain protein in vivo and evoked a MG-like muscle weakness with a reduction of AChR clustering at the NMJ. Our results showed that MuSK is required for maintenance of synapses and that interference with that function by MuSK antibodies causes myasthenic weakness. In vitro, AChR clustering in myotubes is induced by agrin and agrin-independent inducers, which do not activate MuSK. Neither the receptor nor the activation mechanisms of AChR clustering induced by agrin-independent inducers has been identified with certainty, but MuSK autoantibodies in myasthenic animals inhibited both agrin and agrin-independent AChR clustering. MuSK plays multiple roles in pre-patterning of the postsynaptic membrane before innervation and formation of NMJ in embryos. Some of these mechanisms may also participate in the maintenance of mature NMJ. This model system would provide new knowledge about the molecular pathogenesis of MG and MuSK functions in mature NMJ.

    Muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) is critical for the synaptic clustering of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) and plays multiple roles in the organization and maintenance of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). MuSK is activated by agrin, which is released from motoneurons, and induces AChR clustering at the postsynaptic membrane. Although autoantibodies against the ectodomain of MuSK have been found in a proportion of patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (MG), it is unclear whether MuSK autoantibodies are the causative agent of generalized MG. In the present study, rabbits immunized with MuSK ectodomain protein manifested MG-like muscle weakness with a reduction of AChR clustering at the NMJs. The autoantibodies activated MuSK and blocked AChR clustering induced by agrin or by mediators that do not activate MuSK. Thus MuSK autoantibodies rigorously inhibit AChR clustering mediated by multiple pathways, an outcome that broadens our general comprehension of the pathogenesis of MG.

    We created chicks with spina bifida aperta (SBA) by incising the roof plate of the neural tube of embryos at Hamburger and Hamilton stage 18 or 19. Incision over the length of three somites caused spina bifida occulta (SBO)-like malformation in 47% of the hatchlings. Incision over the length of five and seven somites caused SBA-like malformation in 100% of the hatchlings. The SBO chicks exhibited no symptoms, whereas the SBA chicks exhibited paralysis of a leg muscle and imbalance between an agonist and an antagonist leg muscles. Lesions in these SBA chicks were located in the spinal segments that give rise to motor neurons that innervated the dysfunctional muscles. Histological analysis revealed that there were fewer small spinal neurons (interneurons) at the site of the lesion in SBA chicks than in the normal chicks and that there was no such difference in the number of the large spinal neurons (motor neurons). Leg dysfunctions in this model of SBA may be attributable to the smaller number of interneurons in the spinal segments that contain motor neurons that innervate the dysfunctional muscle. This model may facilitate studies of the pathological mechanisms that lead to leg dysfunctions in SBA chicks. © 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    Haptoglobin (Hp), a hemoglobin-binding protein, is known as an acute phase protein and increases during the acute phase of inflammation in most mammals. We reported previously in brown bears that the mean Hp concentrations were higher in blood samples obtained in winter than those in spring. To examine a possible relation of the seasonal variations of Hp to hibernation, in the present study, we measured the plasma concentrations of Hp as well as some other acute phase proteins (alpha(2)-macroglobulin, alpha(1)-antitrypsin, C-reactive protein) in 6 European brown bears (Ursus arctos), from which blood samples were obtained at 5-6 different months of year including February, the time of hibernation. The Hp concentrations showed clear seasonal variations, being highest in February. The alpha(2)-macroglobulin concentrations also showed a similar but much smaller rise in February, but those of alpha(1)-antitrypsin and C-reactive protein did not show any seasonal variations. Our results suggest that the seasonal variation of plasma Hp concentration in brown bears is associated with a hibernation-specific mechanism more than that of acute phase response.

    Cajal's initial glomeruli (IG) and Dogiel's pericellular nests (PCNs) were first described from methylene blue preparations of healthy animal tissues around the beginning of the last century. Since that time, although many reports have been published concerning these structures, few have focused on their development and phylogeny in healthy animals. The aim of this study was to examine the phylogenetic development of the sensory neurons in Cajal's IG (also called axonal glomeruli) and Dogiel's PCNs in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) of the healthy adult frog, chick, rat, and rabbit. The three-dimensional architecture of the neurons was observed in ganglia by scanning electron microscopy after removal of the connective tissue. The neurons in the DRG of fish are known to be bipolar, but DRG neurons in the species examined here were found to be pseudounipolar, with single stem processes. The proportion of neurons having IG or PCNs increased with increasing phylogenetic complexity in the species examined here. Cajal's initial glomeruli, the convolution of the stem process near the parent cell body: In frogs, the ganglia were small and the neuronal stem processes were very short and straight. In chicks, the stem processes were longer; sometimes very long, tortuous processes were observed. However, no neurons with typical IG were observed in either species. Typical IG were observed in rats and rabbits; their occurrence was much more frequent in rabbits. Pseudounipolarization, i.e., the transition from bipolar to pseudounipolar neurons, is thought to save space, limit the length of neuronal processes, and reduce conduction time. However, an explanation of the evolutionary advantage of the IG, which is formed by the excessive prolongation of the stem process, remains elusive. The cytological and electrophysiological importance of IG has been discussed. Dogiel's pericellular nests (PCNs), which resemble balls of yarn made of thin unmyelinated nerve fibers around DRG neurons, have been observed in the DRG of rats and rabbits, but not in frogs or chicks. This interesting structure shows not only ontogenetic development in healthy animals but also phylogenetic development among species. The nerve fibers in the PCNs were less than 1.2 mu m in diameter and had some varicosities. An immunohistochemical study using anti-tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) antibody revealed that some PCNs contain TH-positive nerve fibers and varicosities. Such TH-positive PCNs disappear after sympathectomy. These results suggest that the PCNs are made up of autonomic nerve fibers.

    Several reports have been published on blood leptin concentrations in feral animals, including members of the Carnivora, using a commercially available multi-species radioimmunoassay (RIA) kit with anti-human leptin antibody. However, we observed weak immunoreactivity between recombinant canine leptin and anti-human leptin antibody, suggesting a limitation in the applicability of the RIA kit for leptin assays in Carnivora species. We tested the applicability of RIA and sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with anti-canine leptin antibody to assay blood leptin in the dog (Canis familiaris) and the raccoon (Procyon lotor). When RIA was used for recombinant canine leptin and dog sera, values were much lower than those determined by ELISA at higher concentrations (> 10 ng/ml), while rather higher at lower concentrations (< 2ng/ml). A similar discrepancy between the two methods was found for serum leptin concentrations in raccoons. Clear seasonal variations were observed by ELISA, but not by RIA, with high values in autumn (3.46 +/- 0.45ng/ml) and low values in spring and summer (0.71 +/- 0.07ng/ml). Serum leptin concentrations in raccoons correlated positively with their body weight (r = 0.753) and body mass index (r = 0.755), corroborating our previous findings of a strong positive correlation between serum leptin concentrations and body fat content in dogs. Thus, the canine leptin ELISA is useful for assays of dog and raccoon leptin, and blood leptin is a good marker of nutritional condition in the species of Carnivora assayed in this study.

    Prosaposin is the precursor of saposins A, B, C and D, which are activators of sphingolipid hydrolases. In addition, unprocessed prosaposin functions as a neurotrophic factor in the central and peripheral nervous systems by acting to prevent neuronal apoptosis, to elongate neurites and to facilitate myelination. In this study, the expression pattern of prosaposin in the facial nerve nucleus after facial nerve transection was examined by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. Prosaposin immunoreactivity in the neurons on the operated side facial nerve nucleus showed a biphasic pattern: it was significantly increased on day 3 after transection, decreased dramatically on day 7, started to increase gradually on day 14 and reached another peak on day 21 after transection. Significant increases in the levels of prosaposin mRNA were identified in the neurons on the operated side, suggesting that prosaposin was synthesized vigorously by the neurons themselves in the case of facial nerve transection. The diverse changes in prosaposin immunoreactivity during the process of facial nerve regeneration may reflect the diverse neurotrophic activities of prosaposin in facial motoneurons. © 2005 Elsevier Ireland Ltd and the Japan Neuroscience Society.

    In the developing central nervous system, apoptosis plays an important role in the normal organization of the neuronal circuit. The timing of neurogenesis, proliferation, and migration of the neurons in the developing olfactory bulb (OB) is well studied; however, the involvement of apoptosis in this process is not fully understood. In this study, we examined the changes in the distribution and the number of apoptotic cells in the rat OB during embryonic and postnatal periods, by using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-digoxigenin nick end-labeling (TUNEL) staining. Although the number of TUNEL-positive cells was relatively small during the embryonic period, it gradually increased after birth, and peaked on postnatal day 20 with statistical significance, especially in the granule cell layer of the main OB. This transient increase of TUNEL-positive cells on postnatal day 20 may be involved in a critical event during maturation of the OB. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd and the Japan Neuroscience Society.

    Background. Proliferation and apoptosis of liver cancer cells are closely related phenomena. We investigated the correlation between overexpression of Bcl-xL, an anti-apoptosis-related protein of the Bcl-2 family, and the clinical course of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
    Methods. Specimens from 7 HCC patients were used for Western blotting and immunoelectron microscopy tests. Samples from 33 HCC patients who had undergone hepatectomies were used for immunohistochemical staining. The degrees of expression of Bcl-xL and Ki-67, as an index of HCC mitosis severity, were each classified into 2 groups.
    Results. With the use of Western blot analysis, enhanced immunoreactivity of Bcl-xL was found in cancerous specimens. Bcl-xL overexpression was found in cancer specimens in 21 of 33 patients (63.6%). The overall survival (P = .019) and disease-free survival (P = .030) rates of the group overexpressing Bcl-xL were definitely poorer. The Ki-67 higher labeling index LI > 10) group had a poorer survival rate (P = .016). There were significant correlations between Bcl-xL and overall survival and disease-free survival. Multivariate analyses revealed that. Bcl-xL, tumor size, histologic portal invasion, and histologic metastatic foci were independent prognostic factors for overall survival and disease-free survival.
    Conclusions. These results showed Bcl-xL in HCC specimens, suggesting that Bcl-xL was a significant Prognostic factor for disease progression in human HCC.

    Background: Podocytes, renal glomerular visceral epithelial cells, have two kinds of processes, namely major processes containing microtubules (MTs) and foot processes with actin filaments (AFs). The present study investigated how MTs are organized by the Rho-ROCK signal transduction pathway during process formation of podocytes. Method: After induction of differentiation, podocytes of the conditionally immortalized mouse cell line were treated with Y-27632, a specific inhibitor of ROCK, and exoenzyme C3, an inhibitor of RhoA, as well as with forskolin whose effects include inhibition of RhoA, in order to inhibit the Rho-ROCK pathway. Results: Inhibition of ROCK significantly enhanced the formation of thick processes containing MT bundles. Y27632 promoted process formation even in the presence of latrunculin A which disrupts AFs, strongly suggesting that ROCK directly regulates MT assembly. Treatment with Y-27632 increased MT stability, and stabilized MTs preferentially localized in podocyte processes. Moreover, when treated with a combination of Y-27632 and forskolin, and with Y-27632 and C3 as well, podocytes developed not only MT-based thick processes but also AF-based thin projections. Conclusions: These data indicate a contribution of ROCK in MT organization to promote podocyte process formation, although it was originally thought to regulate AF assembly. AF-based thin projections seem to be induced mainly by inhibition of RhoA and ROCK. The present study reveals a significant role of the Rho-ROCK signal pathway in the reorganization of both MTs and AFs during process formation of podocytes. Copyright (C) 2004 S. Karger AG, Basel.

    Expression patterns of glycoconjugates were examined by lectin histochemistry in the nasal cavity of the Japanese red-bellied newt, Cynops pyrrhogaster. Its nasal cavity consisted of two components, a flattened chamber, which was the main nasal chamber (MNC), and a lateral diverticulum called the lateral nasal sinus (LNS), which communicated medially with the MNC. The MNC was lined with the olfactory epithelium (OE), while the diverticulum constituting the LNS was lined with the vomeronasal epithelium (VNE). Nasal glands were observed beneath the OE but not beneath the VNE. In addition, a secretory epithelium was revealed on the dorsal boundary between the MNC and the LNS, which we refer to as the boundary secretory epithelium (BSE) in this study. The BSE seemed to play an important role in the construction of the mucous composition of the VNE. Among 21 lectins used in this study, DBA, SBA and Jacalin showed different staining patterns between the OE and the VNE. DBA staining showed remarkable differences between the OE and the VNE; there was intense staining, in the free border and the supporting cells of the VNE, whereas there was no staining or weak staining in the cells of the OE. SBA and Jacalin showed different stainings in the receptor neurons for the OE and the VNE. Furthermore, UEA-I and Con A showed different stainings for the nasal glands. UEA-I showed intense staining in the BSE and in the nasal glands located in the ventral wall of the MNC (VNG), whereas Con A showed intense staining in the BSE and in the nasal glands located in the dorsal and medial wall of the MNC (DMNG). The DMNG were observed to send their excretory ducts into the OE, whereas no excretory ducts were observed from the VNG to the OE or the VNE. These results suggested that the secretion by the supporting cells as well as the BSE and the DMNG establishes that there are heterogeneous mucous environments in the OE and the VNE, although both epithelia are situated in the same nasal cavity.

    In 1995, we developed an animal model of transient homolateral facial nerve paralysis by inoculating Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) into the auricle of mice. This study examined the mechanism of facial nerve paralysis in this model histopathologically. Using the immunofluorescence technique with anti-HSV-1 antibody, the time course of viral spread and the site of viral replication were investigated over the entire course of the facial nerve. Furthermore, viral replication and nerve degeneration at the site of viral replication were observed by electron microscopy. On the 7th day after inoculation, facial paralysis was observed in more than 60% of mice. Immunofluorescence study revealed HSV-1 in the geniculate ganglion, the descending root, and the facial nucleus at this stage. On the 9th day, the descending root in the sections stained with osmium. looked pale, because prominent demyelination had occurred in this region; electron micrographs showed many degenerated oligodendrocytes and large naked axons. In contrast, the facial nucleus neurons showed no remarkable degeneration, despite HSV-1 particles in their cytoplasm. From these findings, we concluded that facial nerve paralysis in this model is caused mainly by facial nerve demyelination in the descending root. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).

    It is known that proliferation and apoptosis are closely related phenomena in liver cancer cells. In this study, using surgical specimens from 42 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we investigated the expression and localization of Bcl-xL, an antiapoptosis-related protein of the Bcl-2 family. Using Western blotting, Bcl-xL expression was detected in both cancerous and non-cancerous specimens from all of the HCC patients, and elevated Bcl-xL levels were found in cancerous specimens from two thirds of the patients. In normal human liver specimens, Bcl-xL was found mainly in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes, although it was also found in the cytoplasm of bile duct cells in Glisson's capsule by immunohistochemical staining. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of Bcl-xL overexpression and localization in HCC specimens. Bcl-xL was found not only in the cytoplasm of HCC cells, but also in the nuclei of some HCC cells, suggesting that Bcl-xL is involved in the progression of HCC cells in vivo.

    This study presents the first direct evidence for herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection in the neurons of the vestibular ganglion. Although many investigators have reported electron microscopic evidence of HSV-1 infection in sensory ganglia, HSV-1 infection in the vestibular ganglion has not been described. Vestibular ganglion neurons have a unique structure, with a loose myelin sheath instead of the satellite cell sheath that is seen in other ganglia. This loose myelin is slightly different from compact myelin which is known as too tight for HSV-1 to penetrate. The role of loose myelin in terms of HSV-1 infection is completely unknown. Therefore, in an attempt to evaluate the role of loose myelin in HSV-1 infection, we looked for HSV-1 particles, or any effects mediated by HSV-1, in the vestibular ganglion as compared with the geniculate ganglion. At the light microscopic level, some neurons with vacuolar changes were observed, mainly in the distal portion of the vestibular ganglion where the communicating branch from the geniculate ganglion enters. At the electron microscopic level, vacuoles, dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi vesicles occupied by virus were observed in both ganglia neurons. In contrast, viral infections in Schwann and satellite cells were observed only in the geniculate ganglion, but not in the vestibular ganglion. These results suggest that loose myelin is an important barrier to HSV-1 infection, and it must play an important role in the prevention of viral spread from infected neurons to other cells.

    Morphogenetic effects of various extracellular matrix proteins on the renal podocyte were investigated using the conditionally immortalized podocyte cell line. Podocytes were plated on glass coverslips and coated with the following matrix proteins: laminin-10/11, laminin-1, fibronectin, collagen type IV, collagen type L Three hours after plating, podocytes on laminins developed prominent processes, while those on other matrix proteins started to elongate processes after two days. Vinculin-immunolabeling showed that podocytes plated on laminins possessed thin rod-shaped focal contacts, whereas those on fibronectin showed large dot-shaped focal contacts. Inhibition of serine/threonine protein kinases induced podocyte process formation in an extracellular matrix-independent manner. The present study reveals the significance of laminin on podocyte morphogenesis in vitro, and shows that different extracellular matrix proteins trigger different intracellular signals governing podocyte morphogenesis. Taken together with our previous studies, podocyte process formation is thought to be regulated by protein Ser/Thr phosphorylation.

    Microtubular cytoskeletons play a crucial role in the morphogenesis of process-bearing cells, such as the neuron and the renal glomerular podocyte. Microtubules are bundled and stabilized by various microtubule-associated proteins, providing a mechanical basis to maintain the deviated morphology of cell processes. To support the process morphology, microtubules are also associated with other cytoskeletal elements such as actin and intermediate filaments. The microtubular polarity is uniformly plus-end-distal in neuronal axons, whereas in dendrites as well as in podocytes, the polarity is revealed to be non-uniform (i.e., both plus-end-distal and minus-end-distal microtubules are present in cell processes). Recently, this non-uniformity is reported to be established by a microtubule-dependent motor protein. Motor proteins are capable to drive the intracellular transport of cytoskeletal elements in addition to that of membrane vesicles. It is still an open question whether cytoskeletal elements are transported along cell processes as subunits or as polymers.

    Sensory ganglion neurons in higher vertebrates are unique in that they are pseudounipolar with a single stem process that divides at some distance from the cell body into central and peripheral processes. In the early stages of development, these neurons are bipolar but later they became pseudounipolar. This developmental process of sensory ganglion neurons with satellite cells was examined by scanning electron microscopy following removal of connective tissue. This pseudo-unipolarization began earlier but proceeded at a slower rate in chick than in rat embryos. This difference may due to the difference found in the extent and intimacy of satellite cell investments in these two animals, which was due to the fact that sensory neurons undergo pseudo-unipolarization only in the presence of satellite cells in vitro. The neuronal perikaryal projections were observed by scanning electron microscopy after removal of connective tissue and satellite cells. Morphometric analysis revealed that perikaryal projections were more numerous on the surface of mature pseudounipolar neurons than on the surface of premature bipolar neurons, and that the number of projections increased as the neuronal cell bodies grew larger. This may support the hypothesis that perikaryal projections are structural devices for increasing the neuron-satellite interface and for improving the efficiency of metabolic exchange between these two cell types. These results suggest that satellite cells play an important role in neuronal maturation.

    Haptoglobin (Hp), a hemoglobin-binding protein, is known as an acute phase protein increasing in blood during inflammation in most mammals. On the basis of our previous studies on purification and characterization of bear Hp (Comp. Biochem. Physiol. 110B, 785-789, 1995), in this study, we developed an immunoassay method to measure serum Hp level in bear, and measured the concentration of Hp in blood samples collected from 84 reared and 25 wild brown bears in Hokkaido, Japan. The mean serum Hp concentration was 0.94 +/- 0.25 mg/ml in wild bears, which is nearly equal to those reported in other species. In reared bears, the Hp concentration was apparently higher (3.82 +/- 0.29 mg/ml), although total protein and albumin concentrations were nearly equal in the two groups. A significant seasonal variation of serum Hp, low in spring and high in autumn and winter, was found in reared bears. Possible factors participating in the seasonal variation were discussed with special references to hibernation.

    Haptoglobin (Hp), a hemoglobin-binding protein in plasma, consists of alpha and beta subunits and has a tetra-chain arrangement (beta-alpha-alpha-beta) connected by disulfide bridges in most mammals so far examined. Dog Hp has been reported to be unique compared with other Hps in respect that (1) the two alpha beta units are joined by a non-covalent interaction rather than a disulfide bridge and (2) the alpha chain has an oligosaccharide-binding sequence (Asn-X-Ser/Thr) and is glycosylated. To determine whether the unique structures of dog Hp are common in the Carnivora, we purified Hps from sera of bear and cat, and analyzed their subunit structure and partial amino acid sequences. The analyses by gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, under both reducing and non-reducing conditions, revealed that bear and cat Hps have similar subunit arrangements to dog Hp, suggesting the absence of a disulfide bridge between two alpha chains. This was confirmed by amino acid sequence analysis of the alpha chains: that is, Cys15 participating in the inter-alpha chain disulfide bridge was replaced by Val in bear or Leu in cat and dog. Thus, the unique subunit arrangement of Hp reported in dog may be common in the Carnivora. In contrast to dog Hp, however, alpha chains of bear and cat Hps were found not to have the typical oligosaccharide binding sequence on their alpha chains and were not glycosylated.

  • Isolation and Primary Culture of Bovine Hepatocytes: Albumin Synthesis and Adrenergic Activation of Glycogenosis

    We describe a technique for isolation and primary culture of bovine hepatocytes, and their metabolic characterization. Hepatocytes were isolated from the caudate lobe of bovine liver by perfusion with 0.25 mM ethyleneglycol tetraacetic acid and 0.05% collagenase. The viability and yield of the cells were 70-92% and 0.1-3.6 x 107 cells/g liver, respectively. When the isolated hepatocytes were cultured in Williams medium E, they began to spread in 3 hr and formed monolayers in 24 hr. These monolayers were retained for at least 6 days. To monitor the metabolic activities specific to liver, synthesis and secretion of albumin were measured by labeling with [35S]-methionine and immunoprecipitation. This activity was low in isolated hepatocytes, but increased after culturing 1-3 days, and decreased again after 6 days. Glycogenolytic activity was also assessed by measuring glucose release to the medium by stimulation with epinephrine. The glycogenolytic response to epinephrine was also enhanced by culturing the hepatocytes 1-3 days, but was decreased after 6 days. Since the isolated bovine hepatocytes retained the liver-specific activities of albumin synthesis and glycogenolysis for several days in culture, these cells are useful for cellular and molecular studies on the functions of bovine liver. © 1994, JAPANESE SOCIETY OF VETERINARY SCIENCE.

    椎弓の欠損を主徴とする非致死性脊髄奇形である二分脊椎症は,椎弓の欠損状態や奇形箇所の脊髄の状態から病形が区分される。本奇形は、椎弓欠損のみに奇形が限局しする潜在性型と椎弓欠損に髄膜あるいは脊髄と髄膜の両方が巻き込まれる嚢胞性型とに区分される。一般に潜在性型は無症状であるが,嚢抱性型は種々の程度の神経障害を示す。これまでの二分脊椎症に関連する研究では,この神経障害の病態は臨床知見に基づいたものがほとんどであり,実験に基づく知見は臨床知見に比べてはるかに少ない。特に、幼若年時に臨床症状を示さず、年齢進行に伴って神経症状を呈する場合がある潜在性型二分脊椎症においては、神経症状の発現に至る病態については不明な点が未だ多く残されている。
    我々はこれまでに二分脊椎症で見られる神経障害の病態を詳細に解析することを目的として,ヒト二分脊椎症患者に似た後肢運動障害を示す二分脊椎モデル動物を開発し,奇形領域の神経細胞の発生異常や神経伝導路形成異常が二分脊椎症で併発することが多い歩行障害を誘発する可能性を示してきた。すなわち、本モデルは、人為的に二分脊椎を引き起こすことから本奇形の病態解析に有用なモデル動物の可能性を示した。
    既報では二分脊椎症モデル動物が示す二分脊椎症の病型は、嚢胞型ではあるが最も重症例である脊椎裂に類似したものであり、ヒトにおいて最も発症例が多い病型を示さないという。一方、これまでに我々は、提示したモデルにおいて脊椎裂ではない嚢胞型や潜在型の病型を示すことを示し、モデル動物として高いポテンシャルを有することを確認した。令和3年度には、潜在型の二分脊椎を発生させるような処置を行い、初期胚を用いた解析を行ったが、嚢胞型のような発生遅延現象が認められなかった。

    This research using the animal model with spina bifida, which is one of the congenital malformation of a partial spinal cord, was operated to investigate the pathophysiology of the leg dysfunction in this model, using clues to understanding the nature of the neuronal development in the normal and/or abnormal the spinal cord region. On the other hand, in comparing the pathological condition of the spina bifida model animal, which is the final objective of this study, with the pathological condition of human spina bifida, the model used from the beginning caused inconvenience. Therefore, we decided to improve the method of creating the spina bifida model in this study. As a result, it has become possible to create a model that exhibits symptoms that are more similar to those of human spina bifida. It was suggested that the addition of this model to the experimental subjects may lead to more socially meaningful results.

    Pulmonary surfactant has been used as a carrier to deliver a therapeutic virus to dysfunctional lung cells that reside within an intricate lung structure. To investigate whether pulmonary surfactant enhances the efficacy of intratracheal instillation of a therapeutic virus to target advanced non small cell lung cancer in vivo, we developed a recombinant adenovirus that induces cell death only in lung cancer cells and injected the adenovirus into an advanced lung cancer model mouse intratracheally with or without surfactant. A therapeutic adenovirus that induces cell death only in lung cancer cells was constructed by combining a lung cancer specific promoter fused to cytotoxic E1A. This adenovirus was intratracheally injected into the KRAS or KRASlung cancer model mice (CCSP-rtTA/Tet-op・K-Ras4bG12D bitransgenic mice or CCSP-rtTA/Tet-op・K-Ras4bG12D・p53- tripletransgenic mice) in the presence/absence of pulmonary surfactant. Intratracheally-injected therapeutic adenovirus with pulmonary surfactant spread to airways as well as to the alveolar region of the lung and caused reduction of lung tumors developed in the lung cancer model mice. The therapeutic adenovirus without pulmonary surfactant spread only to airways and had ten times less effectiveness in tumor reduction. Here, we demonstrate that pulmonary surfactant is an efficient tool to intratracheally deliver a therapeutic virus to treat advanced lung cancer in vivo.

    Muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) is critical for the synaptic clustering of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChR) and plays multiple roles in the organization and maintenance of neuromuscular junctions (NMJ). MuSK is activated by agrin, which is released from motoneurons, and induces AChR clustering at the postsynaptic membrane. Although autoantibodies against the ectodomain of MuSK have been found in a proportion of patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (MG), it is unclear whether MuSK autoantibodies are the causative agent of generalized MG. In the present study, rabbits immunized with MuSK ectodomain protein manifested MG-like muscle weakness with a reduction of AChR clustering at the NMJ. The autoantibodies activated MuSK and blocked AChR clustering induced by agrin or by mediators that do not activate MuSK. Thus, MuSK autoantibodies rigorously inhibit AChR clustering mediated by multiple pathways, an outcome that broadens our general comprehension of the pathogenesis of MG.

    我々はこれまでに二分脊椎症で見られる神経障害の病態を詳細に解析することを目的として、ヒト二分脊椎症患者に似た後肢運動障害を示す二分脊椎モデル動物を開発した。平成17年度では、平成16年度の研究において見いだされた神経細胞の発生障害についてより詳細な知見を得るための実験を行った。すなわち、運動神経細胞のサブクラスマーカーとして知られている数種類の転写調節因子に対するモノクローナル抗体を用いて、本モデルの脊髄奇形領域における運動神経細胞サブクラスを染め分け、これらの数の変化及び脊髄内での神経細胞の分布変化を追跡した。
    本年度に得た結果では、本モデルにおいて、奇形例の運動神経細胞の発生は約1〜2日程度の遅延がみられるが、最終的には正常発生例とほぼ同数の運動神経細胞が発生することが明らかとなった。しかし、神経細胞の脊髄内の空間分布には奇形例と二分脊椎例で違いが見られた。さらに、内転筋にWGA-HRPを注入し、脊髄内のHRP陽性細胞数をカウントしたところ、この陽性細胞の随節毎の分布にも奇形例と二分脊椎例で違いが見られた。これらの結果から発生途上の神経管が羊水環境に暴露されることによって、脊髄神経細胞の空間的な分布に異常をし、その結果として本モデルにおいて歩行障害を引き起こしていることが予測される。

    [Introduction]
    Recently, bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells and ES cells have been paid attention on as a source of vascular endothelial cells for regenerative therapy. However, the use of these cells has been pointed out to have immunological and ethical problems. In this study we examined whether connective tissue-resident fibroblasts are able to transdifferentiate into endothelial cells of blood vessels.
    [Materials and Methods]
    We carried out two experiments. In one experiment, a small piece of tissue graft was excised from corneal stroma of Tg mice of which endothelial cells of blood vessels expressed a lacZ gene, and was transplanted together with sarcoma cells into a cornea pocket of WT mice. In another experiment, corneal stroma cells (fibroblasts) from Tg mice were cultured, expanded and transfused into tail veins of WT mice whose cornea was engrafted with sarcoma beforehand to induce angiogenesis. After new blood vessels grew into the cornea, the cornea was processed for X-Gal staining. Here we used corneal stroma as a material, because a cornea contains no blood vessels and a corneal stroma consists of only stroma cells, fiblobrasts as cell components.
    [Result]
    In both experiments, a few lacZ positive cells were found in the endothelium of the newly formed blood vessel in the cornea.
    [Discussion]
    This result suggests that connective tissue-resident fibroblasts are a hopeful source of endothelial cells for regenerative therapy, gene therapy of blood vessel or for seeding on and lining the inner surface of vascular prosthetic grafts.

    We created chicks with spina bifida aperta (SBA) by incising the roof plate of the neural tube of embryos at Hamburger and Hamilton stage 18 or 19. Incision over the length of five and seven somites caused SBA-like malformation in 100% of the hatchlings. The SBO chicks exhibited no symptoms, whereas the SBA chicks exhibited paralysis of a leg muscle and imbalance between an agonist and an antagonist leg muscles. Lesions in these SBA chicks were located in the spinal segments that give rise to motor neurons that innervated the dysfunctional muscles. Histological analysis revealed that there were fewer small spinal interneurons at the site of the lesion in SBA chicks than in the normal chicks and that there was no such difference in the number of the large spinal motor neurons. Leg dysfunctions in this model of SBA may be attributable to the smaller number of interneurons in the spinal segments that contain motor neurons that innervate the dysfunctional muscle. This model may facilitate studies of the pathological mechanisms that lead to leg dysfunctions in SBA chicks. We examined the SBA neural tube in by immuno- histochemical staining with the monoclonal antibody against Islet-1. The number and distribution of the Islet-1 positive motoneurons were determined at the position equivalent in the Lumbar 3rd vertebra and compared between SBA groups and control groups. On E4 and E4.5, the motoneuron number in the SBA group was less than that in the control group. On E6, the difference in the numbers of Islet-1 positive neuron between SBA group and control group was not significant. Moreover, the distribution of the Islet-1 positive cells in SBA group was different from that of control group on E6. These results suggest that the development of motoneuron is delayed in the chick embryos with SBA.

    椎弓及び棘突起の先天性欠損症である二分脊椎症は、これらの欠損に脊髄や硬膜の奇形を伴わない潜在性型と欠損が伴う嚢胞性型に大別される。日本における二分脊椎症の発生頻度は5000出産に対して2〜3例であるといわれており、おおよそ潜在性型:嚢胞性型=3:7である。一般に潜在性型は無症状であるが、嚢抱性型は種々の程度の神経症状を示すことが知られている。これらの神経症状の発症原因は明らかになっていないが、二分脊椎患者では神経症状と脊髄組織の欠損程度及び位置との相関が見られることから、二分脊椎症に併発する神経症状の原因は胎生期における神経の損傷であると考えられている。
    我々はこれまでに二分脊椎症で見られる神経損傷の病態を詳細に解析するためにヒト二分脊椎症患者に似た後肢の運動障害や骨変形を示す二分脊椎ヒヨコを開発した。平成15年度では、このモデルにおける脊髄奇形領域における脊髄神経、特に運動神経に変化について焦点を合わせ、コリン作動性神経細胞のマーカーであるアセチルコリントランスフエラーゼの特異抗体を用い、二分脊椎ヒヨコの奇形脊髄の免疫染色を行った。すなわち、二分脊椎例及び正常発生例、それぞれ5例の第3腰髄の15μm厚の連続切片を作製し、各個体につき3切片毎(30μm毎)・25切片上の抗体陽性細胞数を数え、二分脊椎例では872.5±48.2個、正常発生例では752.0±37.0個であった。この結果から二分脊椎ヒヨコの奇形脊髄領域には正常発生例とほぼ同数の機能的な運動神経細胞が存在していることを示唆され、本モデルで見られる後肢の運動機能障害が運動神経細胞の機能異常によるものでなく、脊髄介在神経細胞などの運動神経の上位にある機能調整系の機能不全によって引き起こされたものであると結論した。
