Vesicle transport and photoreceptor death: fishing for molecular links.

2013

Intracellular vesicle transport defects can induce retinal degeneration and photoreceptor cell death, but the molecular connections between these processes remains poorly understood. Reporting in Developmental Cell, Nishiwaki et al. (2013) suggest that a vesicle fusion cis-SNARE complex component translates vesicular transport defects into photoreceptor cell apoptosis.

Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive-factor attachment protein and N-ethylmaleimide-insensitive factors are required for Ca2+-stimulated exocytosis of …

1996

Ca2+ stimulates exocytosis in permeabilized insulin-secreting cells. To investigate the putative cytosolic components involved in the Ca2+ response, HIT-T15 cells (a pancreatic B-cell line) were permeabilized with streptolysin-O, a procedure that allows rapid exchange of soluble components including macromolecules. We found that in this cell preparation the secretory response to Ca2+ but not to guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate was lost as a function of time and could be restored by rat brain cytosol in a concentration-dependent manner. Reconstitutive activity of rat brain cytosol was found in a high-molecular-mass heat-labile partially N-ethylmaleimide(NEM)-sensitive fraction. The NEM-…

Prolonging in utero-like oxygenation after birth diminishes oxidative stress in the lung and brain of mice pups☆

2013

Background Fetal-to-neonatal transition is associated with oxidative stress. In preterm infants, immaturity of the antioxidant system favours supplemental oxygen-derived morbidity and mortality. Objectives To assess if prolonging in utero-like oxygenation during the fetal-to-neonatal transition limits oxidative stress in the lung and brain, improving postnatal adaptation of mice pups. Material and methods Inspiratory oxygen fraction (FiO2) in pregnant mice was reduced from 21% (room air) to 14% (hypoxia) 8–12 h prior to delivery and reset to 21% 6–8 h after birth. The control group was kept at 21% during the procedure. Reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione and its precursors [γ-glut…
