Project description:Acute exposure to acrylamide (ACR), a type-2 alkene, may lead to a ataxia, skeletal muscles weakness and numbness of the extremities in exposed human and laboratory animals. Recently, a zebrafish model for ACR neurotoxicity mimicking most of the pathophysiological processes described in mammalian models, was generated in 8 days post-fertilization larvae. In order to better understand the predictive value of the zebrafish larvae model of acute ACR neurotoxicity, in the present manuscript the ACR acute neurotoxicity has been characterized in the brain of adult zebrafish, and the results compared with those obtained with the whole-larvae. Although qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data shows important differences in the ACR effects between the adult brain and the whole-larvae, the overall effects of ACR in adult zebrafish, including a significant decrease in locomotor activity, altered expression of transcriptional markers of proteins involved in synaptic vesicle cycle, presence of ACR-adducts on cysteine residues of some synaptic proteins, and changes in the profile of some neurotransmitter systems, are similar to those described in the larvae. Thus, these results support the suitability of the zebrafish ACR acute neurotoxicity recently developed in larvae for screening of molecules with therapeutic value to treat this toxic neuropathy.

Project description:A large number of clinical trials have shown that acupuncture is effective in improving leukopenia after chemotherapy. Our study has shown that electroacupuncture can effectively improve the hematopoietic function of bone marrow in chemotherapy-induced leukopenia mice. Therefore, we want to further observe the key signal pathway of bone marrow of electroacupuncture to improve leukopenia after chemotherapy. We used microarray to detail the expression of hematopoiesis related genes in bone marrow.

Project description:Postoperative ileus (POI) often occurs and prolongs hospital stay, which costs expensive. Electroacupuncture (EA), as an appropriate non-pharmacotherapy supported by emerging clinical trials, the mechanism needs to be clarified. In this study, the intestinal manipulation (IM) method was used to establish the POI model, and EA was used to treat it. Sham surgery (SS), simple electrical stimulation (ES), and sham electroacupuncture (SEA) were introduced as control. Gastrointestinal transit and colonic transport were employed to evaluate interventions’ effects. RNA sequencing was then carried out using the intestine tissue of mice.

Project description:Background: Acrylamide (ACR) is a broadly spread neurotoxic chemical of public health concern, as occupational or environmental exposure of humans to ACR may lead to a synaptopathy characterized by ataxia, skeletal muscles weakness and numbness of the extremities. Currently, only the mildly affected patients undergo complete recovery, and identification of new molecules with therapeutic bioactivity against ACR acute neurotoxicity is urgently needed. Objectives: We aimed to develop a zebrafish model for human ACR neurotoxicity. Methods: Adverse effects have been assessed at different levels, including analysis of the motor function (basal locomotor activity, visual motor response, kinematic of the touch-evoked escape response), histopathological evaluation (toluidine blue and whole-mount immunofluorescence), analysis of neural transcriptional markers (qPCR), proteomic analysis (μLC-MS-MS) and neurotransmitters profile (LC-MS/MS). Results: Our results show that zebrafish mimics most of the pathophysiological processes described in humans and mammalian models. Motor function was altered, including the response to sudden changes in light intensity. Specific effects were found on the presynaptic nerve terminals at the neuromuscular junction level, but not on the axonal tracts or myelin sheath integrity. Transcriptional markers of proteins involved in synaptic vesicle cycle were selectively altered, and the proteomic analysis showed that ACR-adducts were formed on cysteine residues of some synaptic proteins. Finally, analysis of neurotransmitters profile showed a significant effect found on cholinergic and dopaminergic systems. Conclusions: Thus, the zebrafish model for ACR acute neurotoxicity is suitable to be used larvae for in vivo high-throughput screening of small molecule libraries for identifying new drugs against this synaptopathy.

Project description:Exosomes from the brains of rhesus macaques were isolated and characterized, both with and without simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) induced central nervous system (CNS) disease. Small RNA sequencing revealed that exosomes from the brains of animals with CNS disease contained significantly increased miR-21, a microRNA we have previously shown to be significantly increased in both SIV and HIV induced CNS disease. In addition to neurons in the brain, macrophage/microglial cells/nodules also express miR-21 during SIV induced CNS disease. In vitro culture of macrophages revealed that miR-21 is released into exosomes, and exosomes from macrophage cultures produced from WT, but not miR-21-/- KO, animals are neurotoxic. We find this neurotoxicity is dependent upon exosome carriage of miR-21, and mutation of the sequence within miR-21 predicted to bind TLR7 eliminates this neurotoxicity. Indeed exosomal miR-21 activates TLR7 in a reporter cell line, and the neurotoxicity of exosomal miR-21 is dependent upon TLR7, as neurons isolated from TLR7-/- KO mice are protected from neurotoxicity. Finally, we show that exosomes isolated from the brains of monkeys with SIV induced CNS disease both activate TLR7 and are neurotoxic when compared to exosomes from control animals.

Project description:The morbidity of colorectal cancer(CRC) is 10%～15% in China.mFolfox6 has become one of the standard regimes for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Neutropenia and oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity are the most common adverse effects which even result in discontinue of chemotherapy, especially for patients suffered from heavily acute neurotoxicity. Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside is a component of membrane of nerve cells. Previous phase II clinical trial showed, it can reduce oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity(OIN). But it did not certificated by phase III trial. Investigators designed the phase III trial to investigate the effect and safety of monosialotetrahexosylganglioside Sodium Injection for prevention OIN at colorectal cancer.

Project description:In this study, we used the adult zebrafish model of ACR acute neurotoxicity for determining the suitability of NAC to protect the brain against ACR toxicity. First, the potential protective effects of NAC on the ACR neurotoxicity were evaluated at the behavioral and molecular (transcriptome and proteome) levels. Then, in order to understand the mild to negligible protective effect of NAC, the ability of this drug to cross BBB by passive diffusion was evaluated by different approaches. Whereas the BBB parallel artificial membrane permeability assay (BBB-PAMPA) was used to determine the ability of NAC to cross BBB-like phospholipid membranes by passive diffusion, the determination of the NAC content in the brain provides direct evidences of the BBB permeability in vivo. Finally, we evaluated the ability of drug to recover the depleted GSx stores and to scavenge ACR in the brain of ACR-exposed fish.

Project description:The aim of this study is to understand the mechanisms of TDP-43 neurotoxicity. Here, we perform a RNA-Seq analysis in TDP-43 gain-of-fucntion (GOF) , TDP-43 loss-of-function and wild-type late pupae heads (73-90 hours APF) and perform TDP-43 GOF vs wild type and TDP-43 LOF vs wild-type differential expression analysis to show that both mechanisms presents defects in ecdysone receptor (ECR)-dependeint transcriptional program switching, and strongly deregulate expression from the neuronal microtubule associated protien Map205. RNA-seq was performed in two wild-type D.melanogaster biological replicates (Canton S, w1118 ), four biological replicates for TDP-43 (LOF) with two distinct genotypes (dTDP-43Δ142/Df(2R)106,dTDP-43Δ23/Δ142 ) and two TDP-43 GOF biological replicates (act5c>dTDP-43 ).
