A two-dimensional electrophoresis reference map of human ovary

The ovary plays a central role in oogenesis and gonadal hormone secretion. Proteomic analysis is a valuable approach for gaining an increased understanding of the molecular nature of the ovary. In this work, two-dimensional electrophoresis for protein separation followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry and database searches, identified 231 protein spots corresponding to 138 individual proteins that were found in gels representing both the follicular and luteal phases. The data were used to construct a database online (). The identified proteins were functionally classified into seven groups: (1) cell signaling/communication, (2) cell division, (3) gene/protein expression, (4) metabolism, (5) cell structure and motility, (6) cell/organism defense, and (7) unclassified. Among the proteins identified, 47% had not been previously reported in the human ovary. In addition, a number of disease-related proteins were identified in this protein map, including some cancer- and polycystic ovarian syndrome-related proteins. Two proteins with phosphorylation were verified by Western blot analysis. Comparison of protein abundance between follicular and luteal stages produced seven protein spots that had been identified in our database. This study provides a preliminary reference map of normal human ovary that will form a basis for comparative studies on normal and pathological conditions of the human ovary and may serve as a potential tool for clinical diagnosis, therapeutics, and prognosis.Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available in the online version of this article at L.

Sequence Analysis of the Washington/1964 Strain of Human Parainfluenza Virus Type 1 (HPIV1) and Recovery and Characterization of Wild-Type Recombinant HPIV1 Produced by Reverse Genetics

A complete consensus sequence was determined for the genomic RNA of human parainfluenza virus type 1 (HPIV1) strain Washington/20993/1964 (HPIV1 WASH/64), a clinical isolate that previously was shown to be virulent in adults. The sequence exhibited a high degree of relatedness to both Sendai virus, a PIV1 virus recovered from mice, and human PIV3 (HPIV3) with regard to cis-acting regulatory regions and protein-coding sequences. This consensus sequence was used to generate a full-length antigenomic cDNA and to recover a recombinant wild-type HPIV1 (rHPIV1). Interestingly, the rHPIV1 could be rescued from full-length antigenomic rHPIV1 cDNA using HPIV3 support plasmids, HPIV1 support plasmids, or a mixture thereof. The replication of rHPIV1 in vitro and in the respiratory tract of hamsters was similar to that of its biologically derived parent virus. The similar biological properties of rHPIV1 and HPIV1 WASH/64 in vitro and in vivo, together with the previous demonstration of the virulence of this specific isolate in humans, authenticates the rHPIV1 sequence as that of a wild-type virus. This rHPIV1 can now be used to study the biological properties of HPIV1 and as a substrate to introduce attenuating mutations for the generation of live-attenuated HPIV1 vaccine candidates.An erratum to this article can be found at     

Task-dependent mixtures of coordinate systems in visuomotor transformations

In two experiments the involvement of relative and fixed coordinate systems in visuomotor transformations was examined. The experimental task required the successive performance of two movements in each trial, which had to “correspond” to different visual stimuli. One kind of visual display indicated target positions by way of different horizontal positions of a vertical line on a monitor (position mode), while the other indicated movement amplitudes by way of different lengths of a horizontal line (amplitude mode). Formal analysis of variances and covariances of successive individual movements led to the conclusion that in the position mode visuomotor transformations were based on a mixture of relative and fixed coordinate systems, while in the amplitude mode only a relative coordinate system was involved. Thus, visuomotor transformations can be characterized as mixtures of different coordinate systems, and their respective weights in the mixtures are task-dependent.

Representation of heading direction in far and near head space

Manipulation of objects around the head requires an accurate and stable internal representation of their locations in space, also during movements such as that of the eye or head. For far space, the representation of visual stimuli for goal-directed arm movements relies on retinal updating, if eye movements are involved. Recent neurophysiological studies led us to infer that a transformation of visual space from retinocentric to a head-centric representation may be involved for visual objects in close proximity to the head. The first aim of this study was to investigate if there is indeed such a representation for remembered visual targets of goal-directed arm movements. Participants had to point toward an initially foveated central target after an intervening saccade. Participants made errors that reflect a bias in the visuomotor transformation that depends on eye displacement rather than any head-centred variable. The second issue addressed was if pointing toward the centre of a wide-field expanding motion pattern involves a retinal updating mechanism or a transformation to a head-centric map and if that process is distance dependent. The same pattern of pointing errors in relation to gaze displacement was found independent of depth. We conclude that for goal-directed arm movements, representation of the remembered visual targets is updated in a retinal frame, a mechanism that is actively used regardless of target distance, stimulus characteristics or the requirements of the task.

Learning and memory impairment in adult rats due to severe zinc deficiency during lactation

In a series of three experiments, adult rats who suffered severe zinc deficiency and/or undernutrition during lactation were tested in a 17-arm radial maze for working memory, reference memory, forgetting and learning. In Experiment 1, eight out of 17 arms were baited. The zinc deficient (ZD) and undernourished (PF) rats revealed a learning deficit when compared to adequately nourished rats (AL). ZD rats also appeared to display a loss of working memory. No evidence of loss of reference memory was observed among any of the groups. A reverse learning procedure was used in Experiment 2 to test the same rats used in Experiment 1. ZD rats were significantly inferior in performance of the reverse learning task compared to the AL and PF rats. No significant differences in performance were noted between the AL and PF rats. Although all groups displayed forgetfulness from Experiment 1 to Experiment 2, no significant differences in forgetfulness were evidenced among the groups. In Experiment 3, all 17 arms were baited. The ZD rats displayed a significant working memory deficit as compared to the AL and PF rats. No significant differences in working memory between the AL and PF rats occurred. The possibility that the differences in performance were due to differences in food motivation or attention was considered and rejected. It was concluded that ZD rats experienced a severe learning deficit and some working memory deficit while the PF rats experienced a mild learning deficit as compared to the AL rats.
