Cerebellar Purkinje cells (PC) physiologically reveal an age-dependent expression of progesterone with high endogenous concentrations during the neonatal period. Even if progesterone has been previously shown to induce spinogenesis, dendritogenesis and synaptogenesis in immature PC, data about the effects of progesterone on mature PC are missing, even though they could be of significant therapeutic interest. The current study demonstrates for the first time a progesterone effect, depending on the developmental age of PC. Comparable with the physiological course of the progesterone concentration, experimental treatment with progesterone for 24 h achieves the highest effects on the dendritic tree during the early neonate, inducing an highly significant increase in dendritic length, spine number and spine area, while spine density in mature PC could not be further stimulated by progesterone incubation. Observed progesterone effects are certainly mediated by classical progesterone receptors, as spine area and number were comparable to controls when progesterone incubation was combined with mifepristone (incubation for 24 h), an antagonist of progesterone receptors A and B (PR-A/PR-B). In contrast, an increase in the spine number and area of both immature and mature PC was detected when slice cultures were incubated with mifepristone for more than 72 h (mifepristone long-time incubation, MLTI). By including time-lapse microscopy, electron microscopic techniques, PCR, western blot, and MALDI IMS receptor analysis, as well as specific antagonists like trilostane and AG 205, we were able to detect the underlying mechanism of this diverging mifepristone effect. Thus, our results provide new insights into the function and signaling mechanisms of the recently described progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) in PC. It is highly suitable that progesterone does not just induce effects by the well-known genomic mechanisms of the classical progesterone receptors but also acts through PGRMC1 mediated non-genomic mechanisms. Thus, our results provide first proofs for a previously discussed progesterone-dependent induction of neurosteroidogenesis in PC by interaction with PGRMC1. But while genomic progesterone effects mediated through classical PR-A and PR-B seem to be restricted to the neonatal period of PC, PGRMC1 also transmits signals by non-genomic mechanisms like regulation of the neurosteroidogenesis in mature PC. Thus, PGRMC1 might be an interesting target for future clinical studies and therapeutic interventions. 相似文献

The activated B-cell-like (ABC) subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains the least curable form of this malignancy despite recent advances in therapy. Constitutive nuclear factor (NF)-κB and JAK kinase signalling promotes malignant cell survival in these lymphomas, but the genetic basis for this signalling is incompletely understood. Here we describe the dependence of ABC DLBCLs on MYD88, an adaptor protein that mediates toll and interleukin (IL)-1 receptor signalling, and the discovery of highly recurrent oncogenic mutations affecting MYD88 in ABC DLBCL tumours. RNA interference screening revealed that MYD88 and the associated kinases IRAK1 and IRAK4 are essential for ABC DLBCL survival. High-throughput RNA resequencing uncovered MYD88 mutations in ABC DLBCL lines. Notably, 29% of ABC DLBCL tumours harboured the same amino acid substitution, L265P, in the MYD88 Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) domain at an evolutionarily invariant residue in its hydrophobic core. This mutation was rare or absent in other DLBCL subtypes and Burkitt's lymphoma, but was observed in 9% of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas. At a lower frequency, additional mutations were observed in the MYD88 TIR domain, occurring in both the ABC and germinal centre B-cell-like (GCB) DLBCL subtypes. Survival of ABC DLBCL cells bearing the L265P mutation was sustained by the mutant but not the wild-type MYD88 isoform, demonstrating that L265P is a gain-of-function driver mutation. The L265P mutant promoted cell survival by spontaneously assembling a protein complex containing IRAK1 and IRAK4, leading to IRAK4 kinase activity, IRAK1 phosphorylation, NF-κB signalling, JAK kinase activation of STAT3, and secretion of IL-6, IL-10 and interferon-β. Hence, the MYD88 signalling pathway is integral to the pathogenesis of ABC DLBCL, supporting the development of inhibitors of IRAK4 kinase and other components of this pathway for the treatment of tumours bearing oncogenic MYD88 mutations. 相似文献

Although governments espouse development in students of comprehensive science literacy, excessive teaching of achievements of science tends to compromise students' development of realistic conceptions about science and expertise for doing science. For most students, school science is like being chained inside Plato's cave, only able to experience and interpret the world of science from flickering, shadowy images. This can be particularly problematic for students in elementary schools, who may not be developmentally ready for abstract topics inherent to nature of science discussions and whose teachers tend to have low science self-efficacy beliefs. In the mainly qualitative ethnographic study of a 3-year, large-scale collaborative action research project reported here, a significant additional factor limiting students' access to more contemporary views about and realistic experiences with science, however, was government curriculum policy—which promotes highly idealized portrayals of and regulated experiences with science. Data and arguments for these claims are provided. 相似文献

In this paper, I investigate an important aspect of Kant’s theory of pure sensible intuition. I argue that, according to Kant, a pure concept of space warrants and constrains intuitions of finite regions of space. That is, an a priori conceptual representation of space provides a governing principle for all spatial construction, which is necessary for mathematical demonstration as Kant understood it. 相似文献

Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia (SIOD, MIM 242900) is an autosomal-recessive pleiotropic disorder with the diagnostic features of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, renal dysfunction and T-cell immunodeficiency. Using genome-wide linkage mapping and a positional candidate approach, we determined that mutations in SMARCAL1 (SWI/SNF2-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a-like 1), are responsible for SIOD. Through analysis of data from persons with SIOD in 26 unrelated families, we observed that affected individuals from 13 of 23 families with severe disease had two alleles with nonsense, frameshift or splicing mutations, whereas affected individuals from 3 of 3 families with milder disease had a missense mutation on each allele. These observations indicate that some missense mutations allow retention of partial SMARCAL1 function and thus cause milder disease. 相似文献
