ABSTRACT: Evidence concerning ion-channel abnormalities in the pathophysiology of common psychiatric disorders is still limited. Given the significance of ion channels in neuronal activity, neurotransmission and neuronal plasticity we hypothesized that the expression patterns of genes encoding different ion channels may be altered in schizophrenia, bipolar and unipolar disorders. Frozen samples of striatum including the nucleus accumbens (Str-NAc) and the lateral cerebellar hemisphere of 60 brains from depressed (MDD), bipolar (BD), schizophrenic and normal subjects, obtained from the Stanley Foundation Brain Collection, were assayed. mRNA of 72 different ion-channel subunits were determined by qRT-PCR and alteration in four genes were verified by immunoblotting. In the Str-NAc the prominent change was observed in the MDD group, in which there was a significant up-regulation in genes encoding voltage-gated potassium-channel subunits. However, in the lateral cerebellar hemisphere (cerebellum), the main change was observed in schizophrenia specimens, as multiple genes encoding various ion-channel subunits were significantly down-regulated. The impaired expression of genes encoding ion channels demonstrates a disease-related neuroanatomical pattern. The alterations observed in Str-NAc of MDD may imply electrical hypo-activity of this region that could be of relevance to MDD symptoms and treatment. The robust unidirectional alteration of both excitatory and inhibitory ion channels in the cerebellum may suggests cerebellar general hypo-transcriptional activity in schizophrenia.

ABSTRACT: We previously demonstrated the gene expression of two growth hormone (GH) receptor (GHR) isoforms in prostate cancer (PCa) patient tissues and human PCa cell lines. In that initial study, we characterized LNCaP cell GH binding characteristics to GHR and its activation of relevant signal transduction pathways. We now show that GH binding to GHR and GHR mRNA expression in the cell lines studied are hormonally regulated. In the androgen-dependent LNCaP cells, the potent, specific and stable androgen analogue, mibolerone, caused a time- and biphasic dose-dependent, stimulation of (125)I-hGH specific binding to cells cultured in serum-free medium (SFM); however, when LNCaP cells were grown in chemically defined Gc full medium, long-term mibolerone-induced inhibition was observed. This effect of Gc on the androgen response was mimicked by the triiodothyronine (T(3)) contained in GC. In contrast, oestradiol (E(2)), cortisol, and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and -II all caused stimulation of GH binding. Furthermore, we also observed homologous and heterologous, isoform- and cell-type-specific regulation of GHR mRNA expression in all three cell lines. In LNCaP cells, GH caused stimulation of both GHR mRNA and of its exon 9-truncated isoform, GHR(tr); however, mibolerone, E(2) and T(3) all stimulated GHR(tr) mRNA more potently than they did GHR. In androgen-independent PC3 cells, GH stimulated GHR(tr) expression, but almost not GHR, while in contrast, in androgen-independent DU145 cells, GH caused a clear reduction in GHR and less so in GHR(tr). The differential regulation of GHR isoform gene expression in human PCa cell lines and of GHR functional capacity (GH binding), by hormones and growth factors relevant to disease progression, suggests that GHR may prove to be an additional therapeutic target to slow down/prevent progression of human prostate cancer.

ABSTRACT: Several independent lines of evidence suggest mitochondrial dysfunction in schizophrenia in brain and periphery, including mitochondrial hypoplasia, dysfunction of the oxidative phosphorylation system, and altered mitochondrial-related gene expression. In an attempt to decipher whether mitochondrial complex I abnormality in schizophrenia is a core pathophysiological process or is attributable to medication, we studied two animal models of schizophrenia related to the neurodevelopmental hypothesis of this disorder. Protein levels of complex I subunits, 24, 51, and 75 kDa, were assessed in neonatal ventral hippocampal lesion rat model and in rats exposed to hypoxia at a neonatal age. In the prefrontal cortex, a major anatomical substrate of schizophrenia, neonatal ventral hippocampal lesion induced a significant prepubertal increase and postpubertal decrease in all three subunits of complex I as compared to sham-treated rats, while no change was observed in the cingulate cortex. Neonatal exposure to hypoxia did not affect protein levels of any of the three subunits in the prefrontal cortex. An age-dependent increase in the expression of complex I subunits was observed, which was distorted in the prefrontal cortex by the neonatal ventral hippocampal lesion. Complex I alterations in schizophrenia-related neurodevelopmental rat models appear to be brain region and animal model dependent. The results of this study support previous findings suggesting abnormal complex I expression as a pathological characteristic of schizophrenia rather than an effect of medication.

ABSTRACT: Macrophage foam cells are characterized by increased oxidative stress. Macrophage urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) was shown to contribute to atherosclerosis progression. We hypothesized that uPA atherogenicity is related to its ability to increase macrophage oxidative stress. Increased macrophage oxidative stress in turn was shown to enhance PON2 expression. In the present study we investigated the effect of uPA on macrophage PON2 expression in relation to cellular oxidative stress.
uPA increased PON2 expression in THP-1 macrophages in a dose-dependent manner. This effect required uPA/uPAR interaction and was abolished by cell treatment with antioxidants. uPA increased macrophage oxidative stress, measured by increased lipid peroxides, reactive oxygen species formation, superoxide anion release, and cell-mediated LDL oxidation. These effects were related to uPA-mediated activation of NADPH oxidase, and could not be reproduced in mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPM) harvested from p47(phox)-/- mice, suggesting a causal relationship between NADPH oxidase activation and the effects of uPA on macrophage oxidative stress and PON2 expression. Finally, MPM from PON2(-/-) mice were more susceptible to uPA-induced cellular oxidative stress than wild-type MPM, suggesting that PON2 protects against uPA-stimulated macrophage oxidative stress.
Upregulation of macrophage PON2 may provide a compensatory protective mechanism against uPA-stimulation of macrophage oxidative stress during atherogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial dysfunction was reported in schizophrenia, bipolar disorderand major depression. The present study investigated whether mitochondrial complex I abnormalities show disease-specific characteristics.
mRNA and protein levels of complex I subunits NDUFV1, NDUFV2 and NADUFS1, were assessed in striatal and lateral cerebellar hemisphere postmortem specimens and analyzed together with our previous data from prefrontal and parieto-occipital cortices specimens of patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression and healthy subjects. A disease-specific anatomical pattern in complex I subunits alterations was found. Schizophrenia-specific reductions were observed in the prefrontal cortex and in the striatum. The depressed group showed consistent reductions in all three subunits in the cerebellum. The bipolar group, however, showed increased expression in the parieto-occipital cortex, similar to those observed in schizophrenia, and reductions in the cerebellum, yet less consistent than the depressed group.
These results suggest that the neuroanatomical pattern of complex I pathology parallels the diversity and similarities in clinical symptoms of these mental disorders.

ABSTRACT: Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) is expressed in human atherosclerotic lesions, predominantly in macrophages, and contributes to atherosclerosis progression. Since atherogenesis is characterized by the formation of cholesterol-loaded macrophage foam cells, we questioned whether uPA atherogenicity may involve macrophage cholesterol accumulation, and by what mechanisms. uPA increased cellular cholesterol content by 44% (mainly unesterified cholesterol) in THP-1 macrophages, and this effect was inhibited by statins. This effect was associated with 172% elevated cholesterol biosynthesis, which required the binding of uPA to its receptor. An upregulation of HMGCoA reductase (HMGCR) expression (protein and mRNA) was noted. Since HMGCR expression is controlled by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs), we next analyzed this issue. Indeed, treatment of macrophages with uPA increased SREBP-1 processing, and mature SEREBP-1 content (by 5.7-fold) in the nucleus. These latter effects were mediated by uPA-induced activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK). Finally, uPA was found to activate MAP-kinase through PI3 kinase (PI3K), as PI3K inhibition abrogated both uPA-induced ERK phosphorylation and cholesterol biosynthesis. In conclusion, uPA-induced macrophage cholesterol accumulation is a novel pathway by which uPA may contribute to accelerated atherosclerosis development. These findings provide new insight into the atherogenicity of uPA and may suggest new novel therapeutic means.

ABSTRACT: Recent evidence suggests that bombesin (BBS) is involved in modulation of growth and differentiation of normal small intestine. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of BBS on enterocyte turnover after massive small bowel resection in a rat. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three experimental groups: Sham rats underwent bowel transection and re-anastomosis, short bowel syndrome (SBS) rats underwent a 75% small bowel resection, and SBS-BBS rats underwent bowel resection and were treated with BBS given subcutaneously at a dose of 20 mug/kg, once daily, from postoperative day 3 through 14. Parameters of intestinal adaptation (bowel and mucosal weights, mucosal DNA and protein, villus height and crypt depth), enterocyte proliferation and enterocyte apoptosis were determined in jejunum and ileum on day 15 following operation. RT-PCR technique was used to determine Bax and Bcl-2 gene expression in ileal mucosa. Statistical analysis was performed using the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA test, with P less than 0.05 considered statistically significant. Treatment with BBS resulted in a significant increase in ileal bowel and mucosal weight, ileal mucosal DNA and protein, jejunal and ileal villus height, jejunal crypt depth, and jejunal and ileal proliferation index compared to SBS-animals. SBS rats showed a significant increase in Bax and Bcl-2 expression in ileum that was accompanied by a significant increase in cell apoptosis compared to sham animals. SBS-BBS rats demonstrated a significant decrease in Bax and Bcl-2 expression in ileum and a decrease in apoptotic index compared to SBS-animals. In conclusion, in a rat model of SBS, BBS enhances enterocyte turnover and stimulates structural intestinal adaptation. Decreased Bax expression may be responsible for the inhibitory effect of BBS on enterocyte apoptosis.

ABSTRACT: The prevailing hypothesis regards schizophrenia as a polygenic disease, in which multiple genes combine with each other and with environmental stimuli to produce the variance of its clinical symptoms. We investigated whether the ubiquitous transcription factor Sp1 is abnormally expressed in schizophrenia, and consequently can affect the expression of genes implicated in this disorder.
mRNA of Sp1 and of mitochondrial complex I subunits (NDUFV1, NDUFV2) was analyzed in three postmortem brain regions obtained from the Stanley Foundation Brain Collection, and in lymphocytes of schizophrenic patients and controls. Sp1 role in the transcription of these genes was studied as well. Sp1 was abnormally expressed in schizophrenia in both brain and periphery. Its mRNA alteration pattern paralleled that of NDUFV1 and NDUFV2, decreasing in the prefrontal cortex and the striatum, while increasing in the parieto-occipital cortex and in lymphocytes of schizophrenic patients as compared with controls. Moreover, a high and significant correlation between these genes existed in normal subjects, but was distorted in patients. Sp1 role in the regulation of complex I subunits, was demonstrated by the ability of the Sp1/DNA binding inhibitor, mithramycin, to inhibit the transcription of NDUFV1 and NDUFV2, in neuroblastoma cells. In addition, Sp1 activated NDUFV2 promoter by binding to its three GC-boxes. Both activation and binding were inhibited by mithramycin.
These findings suggest that abnormality in Sp1, which can be the main activator/repressor or act in combination with additional transcription factors and is subjected to environmental stimuli, can contribute to the polygenic and clinically heterogeneous nature of schizophrenia.

ABSTRACT: The present study analyzed serum paraoxonase 1 (PON1) distribution among HDL and lipoprotein-deficient serum (LPDS) in atherosclerotic patients, and compared PON1 biological functions in these fractions. Serum HDL and LPDS fractions were isolated from control healthy subjects, diabetic and hypercholesterolemic patients. PON1 activities and protein in HDL/LPDS, as well as its ability to protect against lipid peroxidation and to stimulate HDL/LPDS-mediated macrophage cholesterol efflux were measured. In LPDS from controls, PON1 protein and a significant paraoxonase activity were found, whereas arylesterase and lactonase activities were substantially reduced compared to HDL, by 78% and 88%, respectively. In diabetic patients, PON1 protein and paraoxonase activity in HDL were significantly decreased by 2.8- and 1.7-fold, respectively, compared with controls' HDL. In parallel, in these patient's LPDS, PON1 protein and paraoxonase activity were markedly increased by 3.7- and 1.7-fold, respectively, compared with controls' LPDS. PON1 in HDL (but not PON1 in LPDS) significantly decreased AAPH-induced lipid peroxides formation by 33%, and increased macrophage cholesterol efflux by 31%. We conclude that PON1 is less antiatherogenic when present in LPDS than in HDL. The abnormal serum PON1 distribution in diabetic patients, could be responsible for the accelerated atherosclerosis development in these patients.

ABSTRACT: Aldosterone plays an important role in the pathophysiology of congestive heart failure (CHF), and spironolactone improves cardiovascular function and survival rates in patients with CHF. We hypothesized that the mineralocorticoid receptor blockade (MRB) exerted its beneficial effects by reducing oxidative stress and changing the balance between the counter-acting enzymes angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and ACE2. Monocyte-derived macrophages were obtained from 10 patients with CHF before and after 1 month of treatment with spironolactone (25 mg/d). Spironolactone therapy significantly (P<0.005) reduced oxidative stress, as expressed by reduced lipid peroxide content, superoxide ion release, and low-density lipoprotein oxidation by 28%, 53%, and 70%, respectively. Although spironolactone significantly (P<0.01) reduced macrophage ACE activity by 47% and mRNA expression by 53%, ACE2 activity and mRNA expression increased by 300% and 654%, respectively. In mice treated for 2 weeks with eplerenone (200 mg.kg(-1).d(-1)), cardiac ACE2 activity significantly (P<0.05) increased by 2-fold and was paralleled by increased ACE2 activity in macrophages. The mechanism of aldosterone antagonist action was studied in mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPMs) in vitro. Although ACE activity and mRNA were significantly increased by 250 nmol/L aldosterone, ACE2 was significantly reduced. Cotreatment with eplerenone (2 micromol/L) attenuated these effects. In MPM obtained from p47 knockout mice, where NADPH oxidase is inactive, as well as in control MPMs treated with NADPH oxidase inhibitor, aldosterone did not increase ACE or decrease ACE2. MRB reduced oxidative stress, decreased ACE activity, and increased ACE2 activity, suggesting a protective role for MRB by possibly increasing generation of angiotensin (1-7) and decreasing formation of angiotensin II. These effects are mediated, at least in part, by NADPH oxidase.

ABSTRACT: The paraoxonase (PON) family contains three genes (PON1/2/3) that are believed to be involved in the protection against oxidative stress. PON1 and PON3 are circulating in serum attached to high-density lipoprotein fraction (HDL), whereas PON2 is ubiquitously expressed. The intestine is the second major organ that synthesizes lipoproteins; therefore, we examined PON mRNA expression and protein levels in gastrointestinal biopsies from humans, from C57BL6 mice, and from Caco-2 cells, a colon carcinoma-derived cell line that exhibits properties of intestinal epithelium at differentiation. PON 1/2/3 mRNA and proteins were present in human biopsies with variable expression among different gastrointestinal segments. Only PON2 and PON3 were present in mice. All PON mRNA, proteins, and enzymatic activities were present in Caco-2 cells. Oxidation of CaCo-2 cells with ferrum ascorbate had no significant effect on PON mRNA expression, but it increased paraoxonase and lactonase activity, whereas statinase activity was decreased. We showed polarized secretion of PON1 (basolateral) and PON2 (apical) into Caco-2 culture medium, raising the possibility that intestine is capable of producing and releasing PON1 and PON3 to the circulation, whereas PON2 is released at the brush-border membrane to intestinal lumen where it may perform another yet unclear function.

ABSTRACT: Current research in depression aims to delineate genes involved in neuronal plasticity that are altered in the disease or its treatment. We have shown antidepressant induced increases in three interrelated genes, cell adhesion molecule L1 (CAM-L1), laminin, and cAMP response element binding protein (CREB), and a reciprocal decrease in these genes consequent to stress. Presently we hypothesized that CAM-L1, CREB, and laminin may be altered in post mortem brains of depressed subjects.
Studies were performed in the prefrontal and in the ventral parieto-occipital cortices, of 59 brains from depressed, bipolar, and schizophrenic subjects, and normal controls, obtained from the Stanley Foundation Brain Collection. mRNA and protein levels were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis, respectively.
Levels of CAM-L1 and of phosphorylated CREB (pCREB) were increased in the prefrontal cortex of the depressed group, while CAM-L1, laminin and pCREB were decreased in the parieto-occipital cortex. Depressed subjects receiving antidepressants differed from subjects not receiving antidepressants in the expression of CAM-L1 and laminin in the parieto-occipital cortex, and in the expression of pCREB in the prefrontal cortex.
The present findings of specific alterations in depression and antidepressant treatment particularly in CAM-L1 suggest that this gene may play an important role in the pathophysiology and treatment of depression.

ABSTRACT: The goal of this study was to determine the role of Fas-mediated apoptosis in human epidermal aging. Epidermal Fas expression and apoptosis are increased in aged human skin. Aging changes of human epidermis, including decreased epidermal thickness and proliferation, are reversed following grafting of human skin to SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency) mice. Skin from aged participants (n = 14; mean 70.7 years), and young participants (n = 14; mean 23.4 years) was grafted to beige SCID mice, and epidermal thickness, proliferation (Ki-67 expression), apoptosis (TUNEL [Tdt-mediated dUTP nick end labeling] reaction below granular layer), and expression of Fas and FasL were determined by histology and immunochemical staining. Aged skin was associated with thinning of the epidermis, decreased epidermal proliferation, a significant increase in apoptosis below the granular layer, and epidermal Fas expression. Engraftment significantly reversed these aging changes, including apoptosis, and Fas expression. Correlation of reversal of aging changes, with decreased epidermal Fas expression and apoptosis, supports a role for Fas-mediated apoptosis in aging of human epidermis.

ABSTRACT: Several independent lines of evidence indicate mitochondrial dysfunction in schizophrenia in the brain and periphery, including mitochondrial hypoplasia, dysfunction of the oxidative phosphorylation system, and altered mitochondrial-related gene expression.
In this study, three subunits of mitochondrial complex I were analyzed at the level of mRNA and protein in postmortem brain specimens from the prefrontal and the ventral parietooccipital cortex of patients with schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar disorder, and normal control subjects.
Both mRNA and protein levels of the 24-kDa and 51-kDa subunits of complex I were significantly decreased in the prefrontal cortex, but increased in the ventral parietooccipital cortices of schizophrenia patients compared with normal control subjects. In the latter region, protein levels of both subunits were increased in bipolar patients as well, being in line with the significant overlap in clinical symptoms between schizophrenia and bipolar patients. No change was observed in the 75-kDa subunit expression in the prefrontal cortex.
The schizophrenia-specific reduction in complex I subunits in the prefrontal cortex is consistent with one of schizophrenia's most prominent deficits, namely, hypofrontality, thus further supporting the hypothesis of mitochondrial dysfunction in this disorder. The abnormal, bidirectional expression of complex I in various brain regions, rather than in a circumscribed area, supports the idea of impaired cerebral circuitry in schizophrenia.

ABSTRACT: Various hormones and growth factors have been implicated in progression of prostate cancer, but their role and the underlying molecular mechanism(s) involved remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the role of human growth hormone (GH) and its receptor (GHR) in human prostate cancer. We first demonstrated mRNA expression of GHR and of its exon 9-truncated isoform (GHR(tr)) in benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate adenocarcinoma patient tissues, as well as in LNCaP, PC3 and DU145 human prostate cancer cell lines. GHR mRNA levels were 80% higher and GHR(tr) only 25% higher, in the carcinoma tissues than in BPH. Both isoforms were also expressed in LNCaP and PC3 cell lines and somewhat less so in DU145 cells. The LNCaP cell GHR protein was further characterized, on the basis of its M(r) of 120kDa, its binding to two different GHR monoclonal antibodies, its high affinity and purely somatogenic binding to (125)I-hGH and its ability to secrete GH binding protein, all characteristic of a functional GHR. Furthermore, GH induced rapid, time- and dose-dependent signaling events in LNCaP cells, including phosphorylation of JAK2 tyrosine kinase, of GHR itself and of STAT5A (JAK2-STAT5A pathway), of p42/p44 MAPK and of Akt/PKB. No effect of GH (72h) could be shown on basal or androgen-induced LNCaP cell proliferation nor on PSA secretion. Interestingly, however, GH caused a rapid (2-12h) though transient striking increase in immunoreactive androgen receptor (AR) levels (< or =5-fold), followed by a slower (24-48h) reduction (< or = 80%), with only modest parallel changes in serine-phosphorylated AR. In conclusion, the GH-induced activation of signaling pathways, its effects on AR protein in LNCaP cells and the isoform-specific regulation of GHR in prostate cancer patient tissues, suggest that GH, most likely in concert with other hormones and growth factors, may play an important role in progression of human prostate cancer.

ABSTRACT: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which is produced by strong non-static magnetic fields, is a non-invasive means to stimulate the cerebral cortex. Studies from recent years show that TMS affects mood in healthy subjects and improves depressive symptoms in patients with major depression. However, the relationship between the clinical efficacy of TMS and stimulation parameters is still obscure. In the present study we have investigated the effects of different stimulation frequencies and number of treatments on catecholamine turnover in SH-SY5Y cell cultures. A single session of magnetic stimulation (1.7 T) caused a significant decrease in intracellular dopamine and L-DOPA and in noradrenaline (NE) release at a rate of 3 Hz for 10 s but increased NE release at a rate of 9 Hz. These alterations were associated with a reduction (47.8%) or an increase (48%) in tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity after 3 and 9 Hz magnetic stimulation, respectively. The latter may be related to the known sensitivity of TH to neuronal firing rates and NE concentrations. Higher stimulation frequencies (15, 20, 45 Hz) had no effect on catecholamine metabolism. Unlike 3 Hz acute treatment, chronic treatment (3 Hz, 11 sessions, for 4 d) had no effect on monoamines and TH activity was increased by 54.5% with no change in its protein level. The results of the present study demonstrate that in tissue culture system frequency and treatment duration of the magnetic stimulation are important factors in affecting catecholamine turnover. Considering the major role of catecholamine in the pathophysiology of depression, these findings may be of relevance to the application of rTMS in humans with major depression.
