Muscarinic receptor-mediated activation of p70 S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) in 1321N1 astrocytoma cells: permissive role of phosphoinositide 3-kinase
No full textIn 1321N1 astrocytoma cells, carbachol stimulation of M3 muscarinic cholinergic receptors, coupled to phospholipase C, evoked a persistent 10–20-fold activation of p70 S6 kinase (S6K1). This response was abolished by chelation of cytosolic Ca2+ and reproduced by the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin, but was not prevented by down-regulation or inhibition of protein kinase C. Carbachol-stimulated activation and phosphorylation of S6K1 at Thr389 were prevented by rapamycin, an inhibitor of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), or by wortmannin, a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor. Carbachol also stimulated the phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein-1 (4E-BP1), a second mTOR-dependent event, with similar potency to its effect on S6K1. This response was blocked by rapamycin, but was not markedly affected by 100 nM wortmannin, implying separate roles for mTOR and PI3K in S6K1 activation. Wortmannin abolished the carbachol-stimulated rise in PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and greatly reduced unstimulated levels of this lipid. By contrast, an inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor kinase, AG1478, which prevents carbachol-stimulated ErbB3 transactivation, PI3K recruitment and protein kinase B activation in 1321N1 cells, reduced activation of S6K1 by no more than 30%. This effect was overcome by 10 nM insulin, which on its own did not stimulate S6K1, but increased cellular PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 concentrations comparably with carbachol alone. These observations distinguish obligatory roles for mTOR and PI3K in regulating S6K1, but imply that minimal PI3K activity is sufficient to permit stimulation of S6K1 by other activating factors such as increased cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations, which are essential to the muscarinic receptor-mediated response. Moreover, 4E-BP1 and hence, presumably, mTOR can be regulated independently of PI3K activation through these mechanisms

Genome-Wide Analysis of Methylome in the Mouse Brain using Long-Read Sequencing Technology
No full textDNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that transfers a methyl group onto the C-5 position of the cytosine to form 5-methylcytosine. DNA methylation regulates gene expression by recruiting proteins involved in gene repression or by inhibiting the binding of transcription factor(s) to DNA, especially in regulation of Allele Specific Expression (ASE). In this study, we used Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing technology to profile methylome in the two inbred mouse strains, C57BL/6J (B6) and DBA/2J (D2). Compared with bisulfite conversion followed by Illumina Sequencing, long-read sequencing technology allows us to achieve much longer read length of 4,653.675 base pairs on average while maintaining an average percent identity of 90.775%. We detected millions of methylation events and 1,465 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between B6 and D2. Understanding more about how DNA methylation patterns of these mice affect neurological phenotype will further research into drug development for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD).

(矩ff皿蛛) urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: D18563D3-C3D0-4876-B500-6D351950CB49 Figs 1–3 Differential diagnosis The male of this new species can be distinguished from all other congeners by the prolateral margin of anterior part of terminal apophysis flap-like with several teeth (Fig. 1A, D), seems like an aperture in ventral view (Fig. 1D). Female epigyne resembles that of Agyneta mollis (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1871) in having the similar proximal part of scape and the small stretcher (Fig. 2; Dupérré 2013: figs 155–157), but can be distinguished from the latter species by the spermathecae spermathecae present anteriorly in anterior view in new species (Fig. 2B, E), whereas present antero-laterally in the latter species in new species (Fig. 2B, E), (Dupérré 2013: figs 156–157). Etymology The epithet is derived from the Latin adjective ‘ orthogonius ’ meaning ‘rectangular’ and referring to the proximal cymbial apophysis somewhat rectangular in prolateral view (Fig. 1A).
