Epitopes of human brain acetylcholinesterase

The main purpose of the present work was to identify B-cell epitopes on human brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by the synthetic peptide approach. Five hundred and seventy-four decapeptides comprising amino acids No. n to n+9 (where n denotes the residue number of the 583 amino acids in the primary structure of human brain AChE and is an integer in the range 1-574) were synthesized, using the multipin combinatorial chemical synthesis technique, and biotinylated. Epitopes of human brain AChE were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and compared with the predicted epitopes of human AChE by 'Goldkey' software. Among 574 synthetic decapeptides, 47 decapeptides at 11 antigenic regions showed immunoreactivity with mouse anti-human brain AChE polyclonal antibodies. The minimum sequence of epitope was defined at every antigenic region explored. The locations and sequences of the former ten continuous epitopes at the 11 antigenic regions of the human brain AChE had been identified as follows: TPVLVWIY (112-119), RTVLVSMNY (143-151), LLDQRLALQW (173-182), RRATQLAH (246-253), VFRFSFVPV (294 approximately 302), KDEGSYFLVY (332-341), RVYA (424-427), LMRY (476-479), KAPQWPPY (496-503), GLRAQACAFW (523-532). The rate of hits of the predicted epitopes from the software came out at 33%. In our work, the epitopes of human AChE have been mapped by purified polyclonal antibody at eleven distinct sites in the primary structure.     

CoQ10 fails to protect brain against focal and global ischemia in rats

OBJECTIVE: Release of oxygen free radicals occurs following cerebral ischemia. Studies show that oxygen free radicals mediate ischemic brain injury. CoQ10 is a potent free radical scavenger and may offset brain injury associated with reperfusion. We tested exogeneous CoQ10 as a neuroprotectant in rats following both global and focal ischemic insults. METHODS: Rats were subjected to either 4-vessel occlusion ischemia (4-VO, 10 min occlusion, 7-day survival) or middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO, 120 min-occlusion, 22.5 h survival). Regional cerebral blood flows (rCBF) and physiological variables such as blood pressure, pO2, pCO2, plasma glucose and hematocrit were monitored and measured in focal ischemia. The animals were randomized to receive treatments of either phosphate buffered saline (PBS) vehicle or CoQ10 following global or focal ischemia. Injection times were at the end of ischemia and 3 h later for both models of ischemia. Histological outcomes are expressed as a percentage of hippocampal CA(1) cell injury in global ischemia or percentage of cortical infarct over that of non-ischemic hemisphere in focal ischemia. RESULTS: In global ischemia, animals treated with PBS vehicle and CoQ10 had 86+/-5% (n=8) and 83+/-10% (n=8), respectively, of hippocampal CA(1) cell injury (P>0.05). The percentage of infarct volumes in animals following focal ischemia were 23+/-9% (control, n=10) and 25+/-9% (CoQ10, n=10). There were no temperature or physiological differences between the two treatment groups. CONCLUSION: Acute treatment with CoQ10 via intraperitoneal injection does not prevent neuronal injuries following global and focal ischemia.     

The influence of human intervertebral disc tissue on the metabolism of osteoblast-like cells

Extensive studies have been performed to evaluate different factors that may affect on spinal interbody fusion, but the role of intervertebral disc tissue in the fusion process remains unclear. To study the influence of intervertebral disc tissue on osteoblast metabolism, we harvested disc tissue from patients who had undergone spinal surgery. The nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus were separately co-cultured with osteoblast-like cells SaOS-2 by means of culture inserts or organ culture. We assayed alkaline phosphoatase activity, 3H-thymidine incorporation into the DNA, and production of collagen type I, IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-alpha. Exposure of the nucleus pulposus (NP) to osteoblast-like cells revealed stimulation of alkaline phosphatase production, 3H-thymidine incorporation and collagen type I production. Exposure of the annulus fibrosus (AF) stimulated 3H-thymidine incorporation and collagen type I production, but did not affect ALP activity. IL-6 was detected after application of NP and AF. Interleukin IL-10, IL-1beta and TNF-alpha were all below detection levels after application of disc tissue. Our findings show that frozen disc tissue stimulates the metabolism of osteoblast-like cells in vitro.
