Project description:BackgroundThe critical role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the global control of gene expression in the heart has recently been postulated; however, the mechanisms of miRNA regulation in cardiac pathology are not clear.ObjectiveTo evaluate the levels of miR-1, miR-208a and miR-29a expressed in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes during anoxia-reoxygenation (AR).MethodsReverse transcription coupled with real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to evaluate the level of mature and immature miRNAs in cardiomyocyte culture during AR.ResultsTHE INITIAL LEVELS OF THE MATURE AND IMMATURE MIRNAS WERE DIFFERENT: mature - miR-1 7.46±4.440, miR-208a 0.02±0.015 and miR-29a 5.60±2.060; immature - miR-1 0.02±0.007, miR-208a 0.05±0.029 and miR-29a 0.01±0.008. The most prominent changes were observed for immature miRNAs during AR, with immature miR-1 and miR-29a expressed at significantly higher levels during remote reoxygenation (AR [0.5 h/24 h]) compared with control, while the level of expressed immature miR-208a was significantly decreased during acute reoxygenation (AR [0.5 h /1 h]) and returned to control levels during remote reoxygenation (AR [0.5h /24 h]). Also, the ratios of mature to immature miRNAs were significantly increased during acute reoxygenation for miR-1 and miR-208a, returning to control levels during remote reoxygenation, while for miR-29a, this ratio had the progressive tendency to decrease under AR.ConclusionThe discordance between the estimated levels of mature and immature miRNA during AR supports the hypothesis that transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms at the miRNA level play a role in the response of cardiomyocytes to AR, and could be a contributing factor in the differential resistance of cardiomyocytes to AR.

Project description:Cells are damaged during hypoxia (blood supply deprivation) and reoxygenation (oxygen return). This damage occurs in conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and organ transplantation, potentially harming the tissue and organs. The role of free radicals in cellular metabolic reprogramming under hypoxia is under debate, but their measurement is challenging due to their short lifespan and limited diffusion range. In this study, we employed a quantum sensing technique to measure the real-time production of free radicals at the subcellular level. We utilize fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) that exhibit changes in their optical properties based on the surrounding magnetic noise. This way, we were able to detect the presence of free radicals. To specifically monitor radical generation near mitochondria, we coated the FNDs with an antibody targeting voltage-dependent anion channel 2 (anti-VDAC2), which is located in the outer membrane of mitochondria. We observed a significant increase in the radical load on the mitochondrial membrane when cells were exposed to hypoxia. Subsequently, during reoxygenation, the levels of radicals gradually decreased back to the normoxia state. Overall, by applying a quantum sensing technique, the connections among hypoxia, free radicals, and the cellular redox status has been revealed.

Project description:Single rat hepatocytes microinjected with the photoprotein aequorin generate oscillations in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) when stimulated with agonists acting through the phosphoinositide signalling pathway. We show here that, in single rat hepatocytes, bovine growth hormone (bGH) is able to induce [Ca2+]i oscillations which display similarities with oscillations induced by phenylephrine. Thus the rate of rise of intracellular Ca2+ in each oscillation closely resembles that induced by Ins(1,4,5)P3-mediated agonists. However, the duration of bGH-induced oscillations increases with agonist concentration, in contrast to phenylephrine-induced oscillations, which undergo an increase in frequency as the agonist concentration is raised, without any increase in the duration of individual oscillations.

Project description:Adenosine has been associated with cellular Ca2+ metabolism in some cell types. Since adenosine is able to contract glomerular mesangial cells in culture, and since Ca2+ is the main messenger mediating contractile responses, we studied the effect of adenosine on 45Ca2+ movements into and out of mesangial cells and on the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). Adenosine at 0.1 mM increased 45Ca2+ uptake (basal, 9993 +/- 216; + adenosine, 14823 +/- 410 d.p.m./mg; P less than 0.01) through verapamil-sensitive Ca2+ channels. These channels seem to be of the A1-adenosine receptor subtype. Adenosine also stimulated 45Ca2+ efflux from 45Ca(2+)-loaded mesangial cells. This effect was accompanied by a net depletion of intracellular 45Ca2+ content under isotopic equilibrium conditions (basal, 24213 +/- 978; + adenosine, 18622 +/- 885 d.p.m./mg; P less than 0.05). The increase in 45Ca2+ efflux was inhibited by a Ca(2+)-free medium or in the presence of 10 microM-verapamil. However, the intracellular Ca(2+)-release blocker TMB-8 (10 microM) only partially inhibited the adenosine-stimulated 45Ca2+ efflux. In addition, adenosine induced an elevation in [Ca2+]i in mesangial cells with an initial transient peak within 15 s (basal, 113 +/- 7; adenosine, 345 +/- 46 nM), and a secondary increase which was slower (3-4 min) and of lower magnitude than the initial peak (250 +/- 21 nM). In summary, adenosine elevates [Ca2+]i and stimulates both Ca2+ uptake from the extracellular pool and Ca2+ efflux from intracellular pools in mesangial cells. The Ca2+ release from internal stores is produced by a combination of a TMB-8-inhibitable and a non-TMB-8-inhibitable mechanism, and seems to be dependent on Ca2+ influx.

Project description:The freshwater fish crucian carp (Carassius carassius) can survive complete oxygen depletion (anoxia) for several months at low temperatures, achieved by a combination of reduced energy demand and increased glycolysis fueled by large hepatic glycogen stores. In crucian carp, the energy-requiring protein synthesis is controlled in a tissue-specific manner when oxygen levels decrease. During anoxia, translational rates are maintained at almost normoxic levels in brain, while heart and liver translation rates are strongly reduced. However, little is known about how the global proteome of these tissues are affected by oxygen variations. By applying mass spectrometry-based proteomics, 3304 proteins in brain, 3004 proteins in heart and 2516 proteins in liver were detected, of which 66 brain proteins, 243 cardiac proteins and 162 hepatic proteins were differentially expressed during the course of anoxia-reoxygenation compared to normoxic control. The brain proteome showed few differences in response to oxygen variations, indicating that anoxic survival is not regulated through protein expression in this tissue. Cardiac and hepatic adaptions to anoxia included enrichment of mitochondrial proteins involved in aerobic respiration and mitochondrial membrane integrity. We show that enzymes in the electron transport system (ETS) are regulated in a tissue-specific manner since no ETS components were regulated in brain, but were downregulated in heart and upregulated in liver during anoxia and reoxygenation. Furthermore, complement system activation was enriched in heart during anoxia. During reoxygenation, proteins involved in the cristae junction organization were regulated in the heart, possibly explaining how reactive oxygen species can be avoided when oxygen returns in this master of anoxic survival.

Project description:Ischaemia excites sensory neurones (generating pain) and promotes calcitonin gene-related peptide release from nerve endings. Acidosis is thought to play a key role in mediating excitation via the activation of proton-sensitive cation channels. In this study, we investigated the effects of acidosis upon Ca2+ signalling in sensory neurones from rat dorsal root ganglia. Both hypercapnic (pHo 6.8) and metabolic-hypercapnic (pHo 6.2) acidosis caused a biphasic increase in cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+] i ). This comprised a brief Ca2+ transient (half-time approximately 30 s) caused by Ca2+ influx followed by a sustained rise in [Ca2+] i due to Ca2+ release from caffeine and cyclopiazonic acid-sensitive internal stores. Acid-evoked Ca2+ influx was unaffected by voltage-gated Ca2+-channel inhibition with nickel and acid sensing ion channel (ASIC) inhibition with amiloride but was blocked by inhibition of transient receptor potential vanilloid receptors (TRPV1) with (E)-3-(4-t-butylphenyl)-N-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4] dioxin-6-yl)acrylamide (AMG 9810; 1 microM) and N-(4-tertiarybutylphenyl)-4-(3-cholorphyridin-2-yl) tetrahydropryazine-1(2H)-carbox-amide (BCTC; 1 microM). Combining acidosis with anoxia and aglycaemia increased the amplitude of both phases of Ca2+ elevation and prolonged the Ca2+ transient. The Ca2+ transient evoked by combined acidosis, aglycaemia and anoxia was also substantially blocked by AMG 9810 and BCTC and, to a lesser extent, by amiloride. In summary, the principle mechanisms mediating increase in [Ca2+] i in response to acidosis are a brief Ca2+ influx through TRPV1 followed by sustained Ca2+ release from internal stores. These effects are potentiated by anoxia and aglycaemia, conditions also prevalent in ischaemia. The effects of anoxia and aglycaemia are suggested to be largely due to the inhibition of Ca2+-clearance mechanisms and possible increase in the role of ASICs.

Project description:Mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel (mitoK(ATP)) is a common end effector of many protective stimuli in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI). However, the specific molecular mechanism underlying its myocardial protective effect is not well elucidated. We characterized an anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R) model using freshly isolated adult rat cardiomyocytes. MitoK(ATP) status was interfered with its specific opener diazoxide (DZ) or blocker 5-hydroxydecanote (5-HD). Digital gene expression (DGE) and bioinformatic analysis were deployed. Three energy metabolism related genes (MT-ND6, Idh2, and Acadl) were upregulated when mitoK(ATP) opened. In addition, as many as 20 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were significantly enriched in five energy homeostasis correlated pathways (PPAR, TCA cycle, fatty acid metabolism, and peroxisome). These findings indicated that mitoK(ATP) opening in MIRI resulted in energy mobilization, which was confirmed by measuring ATP content in cardiomyocytes. These causal outcomes could be a molecular mechanism of myocardial protection of mitoKATP and suggested that the mitoK(ATP) opening plays a physiologic role in triggering cardiomyocytes' energy homeostasis during MIRI. Strategies of modulating energy expenditure during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion may be promising approaches to reduce MIRI.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:The precise mechanisms of the inflammatory responses after cerebral ischemia in vivo are difficult to elucidate because of the complex nature of multiple series of interactions between cells and molecules. This study explored temporal patterns of secretion of 30 cytokines and chemokines from Sprague Dawley rat astrocytes in primary culture in order to elucidate signaling pathways that are triggered by astrocytes during anoxia. METHODS:Primary cultures of rat brain astrocytes were incubated for periods of 2-24 hr in the absence of oxygen (anoxia) or under normal partial pressure of oxygen (controls). Simultaneous detection of 29 cytokines and chemokines in the samples was performed using a rat cytokine array panel, while the temporal pattern of angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) secretion was determined separately using ELISA. Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test was used to compare normoxic and anoxic samples and the Hodge-Lehman estimator with exact 95% confidence intervals was computed to assess the size of differences in cytokine secretion. The obtained data were imported into the Core Analysis tool of Ingenuity Pathways Analysis software in order to relate changes in secretion of cytokines and chemokines from astrocytes during anoxia to potential molecular signal networks. RESULTS:With the exception of Ang-1, concentrations of all cytokines/chemokines in samples collected after anoxia exposure were either the same, or higher, than in control groups. No clear pattern of changes could be established for groups of cytokines with similar effects (i.e., pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokines). The pattern of changes in cytokine secretion during anoxia was associated with the HIF-1?-mediated response, as well as cytokines IL-1? and cathepsin S pathways, which are related to initiation of inflammation and antigen presentation, respectively, and to ciliary neurotrophic factor. CONCLUSIONS:These in vitro findings suggest that astrocytes may play a role in triggering inflammation during anoxia/ischemia of the brain.

Project description:The freshwater fish crucian carp (Carassius carassius) are able to survive chronic anoxia for several months at low temperatures. Consequently, anoxia-related physiological and biochemical adaptations in this species have been studied for more than half a century. Still, despite for the well-known role of protein phosphorylation in regulating cellular processes, no studies have comprehensively characterized the phosphoproteome in crucian carp. In this study, we report the global phosphoproteome in crucian carp brain and liver during anoxia and reoxygenation. By applying a bottom-up proteomic approach on enriched phosphopeptides we found that the brain phosphoproteome show surprisingly few changes during anoxia-reoxygenation exposure with 110 out of 4316 phosphopeptides being differentially regulated. By contrast, in the liver 395 out of 1293 phosphopeptides were regulated. Although most changes occurred in the liver phosphoproteome, we found evidence for metabolic depression and decreased translation in both brain and liver. We also found regulated phosphoproteins involved in apoptotic regulation and reactive oxygen species handling in both tissues. In the brain, some of the most regulated phosphopeptides belonged to proteins involved in central nervous system development and neuronal activity at the synaptic cleft. Regulated phosphoproteins specific for liver tissue were related to glucose metabolism, including glycolytic flux and glycogenolysis, and the ubiquitin-proteasome system.
