Effect of the control proliferation of astrocyte on the formation of glial scars by antisenseGFAP retrovirus

Astrocytes play an important role in the formation of glial scars. In order to investigate the effect of inhibitingGFAP gene expression on normal, reactive astrocytes and on glial scar formation, the efficiency of the recombinant antisenseGFAP retrovirus (PLBskG) on the growth, cell cycle, morphology andGFAP gene expression of astrocytesin vitro and on the formation of glial scarsin vivo has been studied by cell growth curves, flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry,in situ hybridization, RT-PCR and Southern blot. The results confirm the recombinant retrovirus (PLBskG) produced growth suppression and G1 arrest of the normal and injured astrocytes. The infected cells become round or ellipoid. The cell processes become fine or retracted. The intensity of staining ofGFAP is reduced. Expression ofGFAP mRNA is down regulated. However, in the control experiment, no obvious effects on the morphology or synthesis ofGFAP on cultured normal and scratched astrocytes infected by primary retrovirus vector (PLXSN) have been observed. The supernatant of PLBskG has been injected into an injured site by microinjectionin vivo. The number and process lengths of GFAP positive cells are obviously reduced around the injured site. The formation of the glial scar is inhibited, showing that the recombinant antisenseGFAP retrovirus can effectively inhibit the growth andGFAP expression of normal and injured astrocytesin vitro and the formation of glial scarin vivo. It is suggested thatGFAP plays an important role in glial scar formation.

Molecular cloning, expression and regional distribution of rat ciliary neurotrophic factor

Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) was originally characterized as a survival factor for chick ciliary neurons in vitro. More recently, it was shown to promote the survival of a variety of other neuronal cell types and to affect the differentiation of E7 chick sympathetic neurons by inhibiting their proliferation and by inducing the expression of vasoactive intestinal peptide immunoreactivity (VIP-IR). In cultures of dissociated sympathetic neurons from newborn rats, CNTF induces cholinergic differentiation as shown by increased levels of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT). This increase is paralleled by a reduction of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity. Moreover, CNTF promotes the differentiation of bipotential 02A progenitor cells to type-2-astrocytes in vitro. To help establish which, if any, of these functions CNTF exerts in vivo, it is necessary to determine its primary structure, cellular expression, developmental regulation and localization. The complementary DNA-deduced amino-acid sequence and subsequent expression of cDNA clones covering the entire coding region in HeLa-cells indicate that CNTF is a cytosolic protein. This, together with its regional distribution and its developmental expression, show that CNTF is not a target-derived neurotrophic factor. CNTF thus seems to exhibit neurotrophic and differentiation properties only after becoming available either by cellular lesion or by an unknown release mechanism.     

Ciliary neurotrophic factor prevents the degeneration of motor neurons after axotomy

The period of natural cell death in the development of rodent motor neurons is followed by a period of sensitivity to axonal injury. In the rat this early postnatal period of vulnerability coincides with that of very low ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) levels in the sciatic nerve before CNTF increases to the high, adult levels. The developmental time course of CNTF expression, its regional tissue distribution and its cytosolic localization (as suggested by its primary structure) favour a role for CNTF as a lesion factor rather than a target-derived neurotrophic molecule like nerve growth factor. Nevertheless CNTF exhibits neurotrophic activity in vitro on different populations of embryonic neurons. To determine whether the vulnerability of motor neurons to axotomy in the early postnatal phase is due to insufficient availability of CNTF, we transected the axons of newborn rat motor neurons and demonstrated that local application of CNTF prevents the degeneration of the corresponding cell bodies.     

Influence of PrP 106―126 on expression of laminin and fibronectin in astrocyte

Astrogliosis is a hallmark of prion disease, but the metabolic alterations of astrocytes remain poorly documented. A synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid 106-126 of the human prion protein （PrP） has been shown to be toxic to neurons. In this study, the effects of PrP 106-126 on astrocytes were investigated in vitro. The proliferation of astrocytes was significantly （P 〈 0.05） increased when grown in media conditioned with PrP 106-126 （80 μmol/L） from microglia. The expression of laminin （LN） and fibronectin （FN） was examined at both mRNA and protein levels. The results showed that exposure of astrocytes to PrP 106-126 enhanced the expression of LN and FN. The increase of FN in astrocyte cultures required cytokines previously released by activated microglia. This study reveals the expression of LN and FN affected by PrP106-126.

基于超级电容器的TiN@CNTF电极制备及性能研究

超级电容器因其独特的性能在便携式、可穿戴电子器件领域有着很大的应用潜力。目前对超级电容器的研究主要集中在对超级电容器电极材料的研究上。碳纳米管纤维具有电导率高、力学性能好、柔韧性高等优点,是超级电容器的理想电极材料。但是,碳纳米管纤维电容量的提升被其较小的比表面积所限制。通过在碳纳米管纤维表面生长三维阵列能够有效提高碳管纤维的比表面积,从而增大电容量。因此,采用水热法,在碳纳米管纤维表面成功生长TiO2纳米阵列,并通过氨气氮化获得了TiN@CNTF电极材料。采用三电极测试TiN@CNTF电极在Na2SO4溶液中的比电容达到215.5mF/cm2,有望作为一种柔性超级电容器的负极材料得到应用。

Expression of a fusion protein of human ciliary neurotrophic factor and soluble CNTF-receptor and identification of its activity

Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) has pleiotropic actions on many neuronal populations as well as on glia. Signal transduction by CNTF requires that it bind first to CNTF-R, permitting the recruitment of gpl30 and LIF-R, forming a tripartite receptor complex. Ceils that only express gpl30 and LIF-R, but not CNTF-R are refractory to stimulation by CNTF. On many target ceils CNTF only acts in the presence of its specific agonistic soluble receptors. We engineered a soluble fusion protein by linking the COOH-terminus of sCNTF-R to the NH2-terminus of CNTF. Recombinant CNTF/sCNTF-R fusion protein (Hyper-CNTF) was sac-cessfully expressed in COS-7 cells. The apparent molecular mass of the Hyper-CNTF protein was estimated from western blots to be 75 kDa. Proliferation assays of tmnsfected BAF/3 cells in response to CNTF and Hy-per-CNTF were used to verify the activity of the cytokines. The proliferative results confirmed that CNTF required homodimerization of the gpl30, CNTF-R and LIF-R receptor subunlt whereas Hyper-CNTF required heterodimerization of the gpl30 and LIF-R receptor subunit. We concluded that the fusion protein Hyper-CNTF had superagonistic activity on target cells expressing gpl30 and LIF-R, but lacking membrane-beund CNTF-R.

Effect of Jiaji electroacupuncture in transected rat spinal cord

We evaluated the effect of Jiaji electroacupuncture on cell proliferation and the expression of markers of endogenous neural stem cell activation after complete spinal cord transection. Female Wistar rats were assigned to 4 groups (n = 24 each): a sham-operated group, a control group, a Jiaji electroacupuncture group, and a Jiaji electroacupuncture preconditioning group. Motor function was significantly improved in the acupuncture groups compared to the control group at 7 and 14 d. Numbers of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-, nestin-, and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive cells were significantly greater in the acupuncture groups than in the controls at each time point. Expression of nestin and GFAP mRNA was significantly higher in the acupuncture groups than in the controls at each time point. Thus, Jiaji electroacupuncture and preconditioning may promote the proliferation of endogenous neural stem cells after spinal cord transection.

Ciliary neurotrophic factor prevents degeneration of motor neurons in mouse mutant progressive motor neuronopathy.

Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) supports the survival of embryonic motor neurons in vitro and in vivo, and prevents lesion-mediated degeneration of rat motor neurons during early post-natal stages. Here we report that CNTF greatly reduces all the functional and morphological changes in pmn/pmn mice, an autosomal recessive mutant leading to progressive caudo-cranial motor neuron degeneration. The first manifestations of progressive motor neuronopathy in homozygous pmn/pmn mice become apparent in the hind limbs at the end of the third post-natal week, and all the mice die up to 6 or 7 weeks after birth from respiratory paralysis. Treatment with CNTF prolongs survival and greatly improves motor function of these mice. Moreover, morphological manifestations, such as loss of motor axons in the phrenic nerve and degeneration of facial motor neurons, were greatly reduced by CNTF, although the treatment did not start until the first symptoms of the disease had already become apparent and substantial degenerative changes were already present. The protective and restorative effects of CNTF in this mouse mutant give new perspectives for the treatment of human degenerative motor neuron diseases with CNTF.
