Vasopressin (VP) and neuropeptide FF (NPFF) systems in the normal and hypertensive human brainstem
Authors: Goncharuk Valeri D. , Buijs Ruud M. , Jhamandas Jack H. , Swaab Dick F. 
Published: September 2010

AbstractVasopressin (VP)‐, neuropeptide FF (NPFF)‐, and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)‐expressing neurons were studied by means of single and double immunocytochemistry in the human brainstem of controls who died suddenly due to trauma and of patients who suffered from essential hypertension and died due to acute myocardial infarction, while in one case there was brain hemorrhage. In the control and hypertensive groups VP fibers and NPFF neurons and fibers were the most abundantly present in the dorsal vagal complex, especially in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus. Numerous VP and NPFF fibers formed synaptic‐like contacts with neuronal profiles in the dorsointermediate, centrointermediate, ventrointermediate, caudointermediate, and caudal parts of the dorsal motor nucleus of vagus as well as adjacent medial and intermediate subnuclei of the solitary nucleus. VP, but not NPFF, positive fibers were found to vastly contact TH‐positive neuronal profiles in A2/C2, A2, and ambiguus nucleus (Amb). The density of VP fibers in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus and Amb did not differ between hypertensive patients and controls, whereas the density of NPFF fibers in hypertensives was 3.19 times lower in the dorsal motor nucleus of vagus and markedly decreased in the Amb. In both groups, VP and NPFF were scarcely present in the pain pathways, suggesting that these peptides are not crucially involved in nociceptive control in human. The reduction of NPFF release within the dorsal motor nucleus and Amb could serve as a possible cause of the impairment of cardiac vagal control in hypertensive patients. J. Comp.

Meis gene expression patterns in the developing chicken inner ear
Authors: Sánchez‐Guardado Luis Óscar , Ferran José Luis , Rodríguez‐Gallardo Lucía , Puelles Luis , Hidalgo‐Sánchez Matías 
Published: September 2010

AbstractWe are interested in stable gene network activities operating sequentially during inner ear specification. The implementation of this patterning process is a key event in the generation of functional subdivisions of the otic vesicle during early embryonic development. The vertebrate inner ear is a complex sensory structure that is a good model system for characterization of developmental mechanisms controlling patterning and specification. Meis genes, belonging to the TALE family, encode homodomain‐containing transcription factors remarkably conserved during evolution, which play a role in normal and neoplastic development. To gain understanding of the possible role of homeobox Meis genes in the developing chick inner ear, we comprehensively analyzed their spatiotemporal expression patterns from early otic specification stages onwards. In the invaginating otic placode, Meis1/2 transcripts were observed in the borders of the otic cup, being absent in the portion of otic epithelium closest to the hindbrain. As development proceeds, Meis1 and Meis2 expressions became restricted to the dorsomedial otic epithelium. Both genes were strongly expressed in the entire presumptive domain of the semicircular canals, and more weakly in all associated cristae. The endolymphatic apparatus was labeled in part by Meis1/2. Meis1 was also expressed in the lateral wall of the growing cochlear duct, while Meis2 expression was detected in a few cells of the developing acoustic‐vestibular ganglion. Our results suggest a possible role of Meis assigning regional identity in the morphogenesis, patterning, and specification of the developing inner ear. J. Comp.

Organization and development of zebra finch HVC and paraHVC based on expression of zRalDH, an enzyme associated with retinoic acid production
Authors: Olson Christopher R. , Rodrigues Paulo Vianney , Jeong Jin Kwon , Prahl Daniel J. , Mello Claudio V. 
Published: September 2010

AbstractThe zRalDH gene encodes an aldehyde dehydrogenase associated with the conversion of retinaldehyde (the main vitamin A metabolite) into retinoic acid and its expression is highly enriched in the song control system of adult zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata). Within song control nucleus HVC, zRalDH is specifically expressed in the neurons that project to area X of the striatum. It is also expressed in paraHVC, commonly considered a medial extension of HVC that is closely associated with auditory areas in the caudomedial telencephalon. Here we used in situ hybridization to generate a detailed analysis of HVC and paraHVC based on expression of zRalDH for adult zebra finches of both sexes and for males during the song‐learning period. We demonstrate that the distribution of zRalDH‐positive cells can be used for accurate assessments of HVC and paraHVC in adult and juvenile males. We describe marked developmental changes in the numbers of zRalDH‐expressing cells in HVC and paraHVC, reaching a peak at day 50 posthatch, an effect potentially due to dynamic changes in the population of X‐projecting cells in HVC. We also show that zRalDH‐expressing cells in adult females, although much less numerous than in males, have a surprisingly broad distribution along the medial‐to‐lateral extent of HVC, but are lacking where paraHVC is found in adult males. Our study thus contributes to our understanding of the nuclear organization of the song system and the dynamics of its developmental changes during the song‐learning period. J. Comp.

Generation of mice with a conditional and reporter allele for Tmem100
Authors: Moon Eun‐Hye , Kim Mi‐Jung , Ko Keum Soun , Kim Yoo Sung , Seo Jiyoung , Oh S. Paul , Lee Young Jae 
Published: September 2010

AbstractActivin receptor‐like kinase 1 (ACVRL1; ALK1) is predominantly expressed in arterial endothelial cells and plays an important role in angiogenesis. ACVRL1 mutations cause hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), a genetic vascular disorder for which the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. We have found that expression of transmembrane protein 100 (Tmem100) is downregulated in the lung of Acvrl1‐deficient mice; however, its function is unknown. To elucidate the role of Tmem100 in vivo, we generated a conditional knockout allele for Tmem100 in which exon3, containing the entire coding sequence, was flanked by loxP sequences. The targeted allele also possessed a lacZ reporter cassette in intron2 for visualization of Tmem100 expression. We found that Tmem100 was predominantly expressed in arterial endothelial cells of developing embryos. The conditional and reporter allele will be a useful resource to investigate the in vivo role of Tmem100, especially in angiogenesis. genesis 48:673–378, 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Analysis of carotenoids and vitamin E in selected oilseeds, press cakes and oils
Authors: Franke Saskia , Fröhlich Kati , Werner Susanne , Böhm Volker , Schöne Friedrich 
Published: September 2010

AbstractCarotenoids and vitamin E in oils from the market – 6 rapeseed and 6 sunflower oils, half of each cold pressed and refined – and in the oils of rape, sunflower, flax and safflower as well as the respective seeds and press cakes from a local oil mill were quantified by HPLC. Furthermore, a photometric determination of carotenoid content was tested and checked against the chromatographic method. In the cold pressed oils minor amounts of xanthophylls (all‐E)‐lutein and (all‐E)‐zeaxanthin were determined. With exception of traces of (all‐E)‐β‐carotene in cold‐pressed rapeseed oil this provitamin A active compound did not occur. Cold pressed rapeseed oils contained 0.5–1.5 mg total carotenoids/100 g which was manifold the content of the further oils. Vitamin E was found in all vegetable oils at plant‐typic tocopherol patterns. The photometric determination of carotenoids resulted in significantly higher concentrations compared to the HPLC. This overestimation bases on the carotenoid pattern which was validated by comparison with known high‐carotenoid materials, i.e. maize flour with an abundant amount of xanthophylls and carrots with an abundant amount of carotenes.
