Neurons are highly differentiated cells with extended projections, and therefore, their functioning largely depends on the mechanisms of autophagy. For the first time in an animal model using immunohistochemistry, dot analysis, and qRT-PCR, the autophagy (macroautophagy) activity in neurons of two brain regions (hippocampus and neocortex) under normoxia and after exposure to hypoxia was studied. It was found that under normoxia, the autophagic activity was higher in the hippocampal neurons than in the neocortex of rats. In the hippocampus, the exposure of rats to hypoxia resulted in a decrease in the content of autophagy markers LC3 and p62, which was followed by activation of the autophagy-related gene expression. In the neocortex, no changes in these marker proteins were observed after the exposure to hypoxia. These data indicate that the neurons in the hippocampus and neocortex dif...

Therefore, it is relevant to investigate the influence of technogenic and natural electromagnetic fields using model biological objects, including a honeybee, which is particularly sensitive to electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Current EMR protection systems that change the characteristics of electromagnetic radiation can also cause specific magneto-biological reactions in living systems. In this study we used the honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) to assess the effect of devices on the innate and cognitive components of the honeybee behavior. The devices included EMR resonators working in isolation and together with a WiFi router. We also changed (weakened/enhanced) the magnetic field relative to the Earth’s magnetic field at the experiment location. The experiments found that all the factors under study, e...

Research paper thumbnail of Mutations in structural genes of tryptophan metabolic enzymes of the kynurenine pathway modulate some units of the L-glutamate receptor-actin cytoskeleton signaling cascade

The obtained data are evidence for modulatory effects of genes controlling the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism on the major components of the signal cascade: the initial link (NMDA receptor, postsynaptic density protein-95, a structural protein involved in receptor localization and internalization), the intermediate link (limkinase-1, the key neuronal enzyme in actin remodeling) and the final link (f-actin, the critical factor in the morphogenesis of synaptic structures and, hence, in the processes of synaptic plasticity, learning and memory). It is suggested that kynurenine acid (an endogenous nonspecific antagonist of L-glutamate receptor) and 3-hydroxykynurenine capable of inducing a nonspecific stimulating effect are biochemical intermediates of the effects of these genes.

The Western-blotting and NR1 subunit antisense-knockdown confirmed specificity of antibodies to NR1 and NR2 subunits. The data obtained demonstrated similar distribution of NR1 and NR2 subunits of NMDA-receptor in the insect brain (cranial ganglion). The brain regions with the highest expression NR1 and NR2 were different in the honeybee and Drosophila. This can be associated with behavioral repertoire peculiarities in these insects.

The specificities of the antibodies to the NR1 and NR2 subunits were confirmed by the antisense knockdown method for the NR1 subunit and western blotting. The data obtained here lead to the conclusion that the distributions of the NR1 and NR2 subunits of the NMDA receptor complex in the cerebral ganglia of the honeybee and fruit fly are similar; areas with the highest concentrations of NR1 and NR2 subunits were identified, and these were found to be different in the different insects. This is associated with the behavioral characteristics of these two insect species.

We studied the mutations vermilion ( v ), which inactivates tryptophan dioxygenase (the absence of all kynurenines); cinnabar ( cn ), which inactivates kynurenine-3-hydroxylase (accumulation of kynurenine and kynurenic acid); and cardinal ( cd ), which inactivates phenoxazinone synthase (accumulation of 3-hydroxykynurenine). The data obtained are shown in the figure. It can be seen that LIMK-1 was found throughout the brain of wild-type Drosophila and achieved the highest concentration in the central complex (the ellipsoid and flabellar bodies, nodules), the higher center of locomotion which is also involved in learning [14, 15]. In contrast, the v mutant displayed uniform staining of all structures of the cerebral ganglion, which suggests that the enzyme activity decreased under the conditions of kynurenine deficit. The changes in the enzyme expression are associated with kynurenines, because the staining of the cerebral ganglion was normal in cd mutants and was more intense in cn mutants. The experiments were performed on five-day-old flies of both sexes (no sexrelated differences were found). To prepare brain slices (7 μ m), we took 20‐30 flies of each strain.

Research paper thumbnail of P.1.a.016 Emotionally painful stress causes changes in L1 insertion pattern in the hippocampus in rats with different nervous system excitability

European Neuropsychopharmacology, 2014

ABSTRACT Stress can induce structural changes in the brain and contribute to a variety of chronic... more ABSTRACT Stress can induce structural changes in the brain and contribute to a variety of chronic diseases from post-traumatic stress disorder to depression. The hippocampus is a highly plastic brain region particularly susceptible to the effects of environmental stress. A genomic stress response partly consists in changes in insertion activity of transposable elements. Retrotransposons account for ~45% of the mammalian genome. Mechanisms of action of stress and the formation of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in hu-man are associated with retrotransposons (LINE1, L1) activity in various tissues. Endogenous retrotransposition of L1 elements has been proposed as one potential mechanism generating neuronal genome diversity. They are capable of inserting into new genomic locations, which can result in deleterious outcomes. The greatest interest is the study of these processes in the brain due to indi-vidual variability of neural processes to effective pharmacotherapy path finding. The purpose of this work was to investigate the effect of stress on the LINE1 insertion pattern in the hippocampus. We used the model of emotional stress for the PTSD-like state formation in two lines of rats with genetically determined differ-ences in the level of excitability of the nervous system (low and high) to study of emotionally painful stress (3 types: short-term, long-term and massive stress) effect on LINE1 retrotransposon insertion polymorphism in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. L1 insertions in the promoter of gene GRIN1 [glutamate receptor ionotropic N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype, subunit 1] examined by two-step PCR (general and directed). Glutamate NMDA receptors play a key role in synaptic plasticity, synap-togenesis, excitotoxicity, memory acquisition and learning. These receptors mediate neuronal functions in glutamate neurotransmis-sion. NMDAR-mediated neurotransmission in the hippocampus is implicated in cognitive and emotional disturbances during stress-related disorders. NMDA receptor subunit 1 is a core molecule in the NMDA receptor complex. GRIN1 expression is associated with neurotransmission efficiency and state of the nervous system. We suppose that L1 retrotransposon insertions to promoter of GRIN1 gene will alter GRIN1 expression. It was shown that L1 insertion pattern depends on the level of excitability of the nervous system, intensity and duration of stress exposure. The most variable spectrum of L1 transposable elements activity (L1 insertion pattern) is detected under the influence of massive stress in the rats with low excitability of the nervous system. We assume that L1 retrotransposon insertions take part in the regulation of expression of candidate genes associated with the stress response and the formation of psychopathology.

With aid of pharmacological method (injections of antisense oligonucleotide and of selective receptor agonist and antagonist) and of behavioral criterion (formation and testing of preservation in memory of conditioned alimentary reflex for olfactory stimulus), there is first shown participation of the studied receptor in formation of the honeybee long-term memory. By using the immunohistochemical method, there is first revealed the predominant expression of the ImGluR5 receptor in the mushroom body Canyon cells responsible for the insect integrative activity.

The effects of systemic injections of non-NMDA receptor agonists (AMPA, kainic, quisqualic, and domoic acids), AMPA receptor antagonist (NS257-HCl), and AMPA receptor modulator (cyclothiaside) on retention of conditioned reflexes in short-term memory (1 min after the end of learning) were studied. The pharmacological characteristics of non-NMDA receptors were changed in snow laranja mutants with kynurenine deficiency.

By the method of conditioned reflexes, effects of systemic injections of mGluR agonists and antagonists were studied on retention of elaborated conditioned reflexes in short-term and long-term memory. Injection of aminocyclopentandicarbonic acid (ACPD), ibotenate, and phosphoserine stimulated the memory in 3 h after the single learning procedure. The long- term memory was inhibited by mGluR antagonists — methylcarboxyphenylglycine and amino- phosphonopropionate as well as by non-competitive antagonists of mGluR1(CPCCOEt) and of mGluR5 (SIB 1757). Electrophysiological experiments demonstrated changes of characteristics of the action potential recorded from mushroom bodxies in response to stimulation of antennal lobes and during injections of mGluR III phosphoserine and the mGluR1 antagonist CPCCOEt. The obtained data allow suggesting participation of different groups of metabotropic glutamate receptors in the process of the honeybee associative learning.

With aid of pharmacological method (injections of antisense oligonucleotide and of selective receptor agonist and antagonist) and of behavioral criterion (formation and testing of preservation in memory of conditioned alimentary reflex for olfactory stimulus), there is first shown participation of the studied receptor in formation of the honeybee long-term memory. By using the immunohistochemical method, there is first revealed the predominant expression of the ImGluR5 receptor in the mushroom body Canyon cells responsible for the insect integrative activity. The present study, together with the previous ones, allows concluding about the presence in the honeybee head ganglion of the group I of metabotropic glutamate receptors with two subtypes 1 and 5 (ImGluR1,5) that have similar with mammalian pharmacological properties favoring pr...

The effects of systemic injections of non-NMDA receptor agonists (AMPA, kainic, quisqualic, and domoic acids), AMPA receptor antagonist (NS257-HCl), and AMPA receptor modulator (cyclothiaside) on retention of conditioned reflexes in short-term memory (1 min after the end of learning) were studied. The pharmacological characteristics of non-NMDA receptors were changed in snow laranja mutants with kynurenine deficiency.

By the method of conditioned reflexes, effects of systemic injections of mGluR agonists and antagonists were studied on retention of elaborated conditioned reflexes in short-term and long-term memory. Injection of aminocyclopentandicarbonic acid (ACPD), ibotenate, and phosphoserine stimulated the memory in 3 h after the single learning procedure. The long- term memory was inhibited by mGluR antagonists — methylcarboxyphenylglycine and amino- phosphonopropionate as well as by non-competitive antagonists of mGluR1(CPCCOEt) and of mGluR5 (SIB 1757). Electrophysiological experiments demonstrated changes of characteristics of the action potential recorded from mushroom bodxies in response to stimulation of antennal lobes and during injections of mGluR III phosphoserine and the mGluR1 antagonist CPCCOEt. The obtained data allow suggesting participation of different groups of metabotropic glutamate receptors in the process of the honeybee associative learning.
