Unimolecular Reactions of Peroxy Radicals in Atmospheric Chemistry and Combustion
Authors: Glowacki David R. , Pilling Michael J. 
Published: September 2010

AbstractPeroxy radicals can undergo isomerisation and dissociation reactions in competition with reactions with NO and with other peroxy radicals. Such a competition is central to the recently proposed mechanism for OH regeneration in the atmospheric oxidation of isoprene. The occurrence of peroxy radical isomerisation reactions in both combustion and atmospheric chemistry is discussed, and exemplified by reference to the peroxy radicals formed from the C2H5, CH3CO, HOC2H2 and HOC6H6 radicals. The discussion is based on the use of electronic structure and master equation calculations to interpret experimental results.
Conformational Properties of Arenicins: From the Bulk to the Air–Water Interface
Authors: Travkova Oksana G. , Andrä Jörg , Möhwald Helmuth , Brezesinski Gerald 
Published: September 2010

AbstractThe structures of two antimicrobial peptides (arenicin Ar‐1 and its linear derivative C/S‐Ar‐1) are studied in different solutions and at the air–water interface using spectroscopic methods such as circular dichroism (CD) and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) as well as grazing incidence X‐ray diffraction (GIXD) and specular X‐ray reflectivity (XR). Both peptides exhibit similar structures in solution. In the buffer used for most of the experiments the main secondary structure elements are 22 % β‐turn, 38 % β‐sheet and 38 % random coil. The amphiphilic peptides are surface‐active and form a Gibbs monolayer at the air–buffer interface. The surface activity is drastically increased by increasing the ionic strength of the subphase. The β‐sheet layer is quite stable and can be compressed to higher surface pressures. This adsorption layer is very crystalline. Bragg peaks corresponding to an interstrand distance of 4.78 Å and to an end‐to‐end distance have been observed. This end‐to‐end distance can be connected with the observed differences in the layer thickness leading to the assumption that the peptides form a hairpin which is bended depending on the interactions with the counterions.
Loss of procollagen IIA from the anterior mesendoderm disrupts the development of mouse embryonic forebrain
Authors: Leung Alan W.L. , Wong Sandra Y.Y. , Chan Danny , Tam Patrick P.L. , Cheah Kathryn S.E. 
Published: September 2010

AbstractMorphogenesis of the mammalian forebrain is influenced by the patterning activity of signals emanating from the anterior mesendoderm. In this study, we show that procollagen IIA (IIA), an isoform of the cartilage extracellular matrix protein encoded by an alternatively spliced transcript of Col2a1, is expressed in the prechordal plate and the anterior definitive endoderm. In the absence of IIA activity, the null mutants displayed a partially penetrant phenotype of loss of head tissues, holoprosencephaly, and loss of mid‐facial structures, which is associated with reduced sonic hedgehog (Shh) expression in the prechordal mesoderm. Genetic interaction studies reveal that IIA function in forebrain and face development does not involve bone morphogenetic protein receptor 1A (BMPR1A)‐ or NODAL‐mediated signaling activity.

Changes in histone acetylation and methylation that are important for persistent but not transient expression of CCR4 in human CD4+ T cells
Authors: Singh Satya P. , de Camargo Maristela M. , Zhang Hongwei H. , Foley John F. , Hedrick Michael N. , Farber Joshua M. 
Published: September 2010

AbstractAlthough regulation of CXCR3 and CCR4 is related to Th1 and Th2 differentiation, respectively, many CXCR3+ and CCR4+ cells do not express IFN‐γ and/or IL‐4, suggesting that the chemokine receptor genes might be inducible by mechanisms that are lineage‐independent. We investigated the regulation of CXCR3 versus IFNG, and CCR4 versus IL4 in human CD4+ T cells by analyzing modifications of histone H3. In naïve cord‐blood cells, under nonpolarizing conditions not inducing IL4, CCR4 was induced to high levels without many of the activation‐associated changes in promoter histone H3 found for both IL4 and CCR4 in Th2 cells. Importantly, CCR4 expression was stable in Th2 cells, but fell in nonpolarized cells after the cells were rested; this decline could be reversed by increasing histone acetylation using sodium butyrate. Patterns of histone H3 modifications in CXCR3+CCR4− and CXCR3−CCR4+ CD4+ T‐cell subsets from adult blood matched those in cells cultured under polarizing conditions in vitro. Our data show that high‐level lineage‐independent induction of CCR4 can occur following T‐cell activation without accessibility‐associated changes in histone H3, but that without such changes expression is transient rather than persistent.
Sequential Electrochemical Polymerization of Aniline and Their Derivatives Showing Electrochemical Activity at Neutral pH
Authors: Yánez‐Heras Jorge , Planes Gabriel A. , Williams Federico , Barbero César A. , Battaglini Fernando 
Published: September 2010

AbstractSequential electropolymerization of aniline followed by an aniline derivative bearing an ion moiety is presented. The studied derivatives contain sulfonic, carboxylate or amino groups. Its electrochemical behavior at acid and neutral pH is studied by cyclic voltammetry combined with quartz crystal microbalance or probe beam deflection in order to assess the mass transfer process involved in these new modified electrodes. All of them show a stable and quasi‐reversible electrochemical behavior at neutral pH that can be attributed to a self‐doping process. These new modified electrodes can be further modified due to the presence of functional groups.
Cyclic Voltammetry of Retinol in Surfactant Media and Its Application for the Analysis of Real Samples
Authors: Ziyatdinova Guzel , Giniyatova Endzhe , Budnikov Herman 
Published: September 2010

AbstractRetinol is irreversibly oxidized at 790 mV in water 0.1 M LiClO4 that corresponds to formation of retinal. Effect of surfactant on voltammetric characteristics of retinol oxidation has been evaluated. The calibration graph was linear in the range 29.4–980 µM of retinol with detection limit of 15 µM in presence of 1.1×10−4 M of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Application of surfactant media leads to decrease of detection limit, enlargement of analytical range for retinol determination and permits analyze retinol in water media. Simple, express and reliable voltammetric approach for determination of retinol in real samples using surfactant media have been developed.
Second‐harmonic generation voltage imaging at subcellular resolution in rat hippocampal slices
Authors: Rama Sylvain , Vetrivel L. , Semyanov Alexey 
Published: September 2010

AbstractAction potential (AP) is a major signaling mechanism in the neuronal networks. Dendritic AP propagation is important for information processing within the individual neurons. Due to limitations of electrode‐based techniques most research on subcellular AP propagation has been restricted to soma and proximal parts of the primary dendrites. Development of voltage‐sensitive dyes (VSD) has opened up a possibility to measure voltage changes in the oblique dendrites and the spines. Membrane‐bound organic VSD can be used both for fluorescent imaging and imaging of second‐harmonic generation (SHG). Both phenomena are voltage dependent and can be used for measuring membrane potential changes. However, changes in SHG are linear to the change in the local membrane potential and its slope is constant across different compartments of cells. Although SHG demonstrates reasonable change with membrane voltage (over 10% per 100 mV), the signal‐to‐noise (S/N) ratio is currently lower in SHG measurement than in fluorescent methods.

Perlecan/Hspg2 deficiency alters the pericellular space of the lacunocanalicular system surrounding osteocytic processes in cortical bone

Published: September 2010

Abstract
Osteocytes project long, slender processes throughout the mineralized matrix of bone, where they connect and communicate with effector cells. The interconnected cellular projections form the functional lacunocanalicular system, allowing fluid to pass for cell-to-cell communication and nutrient and waste exchange. Prevention of mineralization in the pericellular space of the lacunocanalicular pericellular space is crucial for uninhibited interstitial fluid movement. Factors contributing to the ability of the pericellular space of the lacunocanalicular system to remain open and unmineralized are unclear. Immunofluorescence and immunogold localization by transmission electron microscopy demonstrated perlecan/Hspg2 signal localized to the osteocyte lacunocanalicular system of cortical bone, and this proteoglycan was found in the pericellular space of the lacunocanalicular system. In this study we examined osteocyte lacunocanalicular morphology in mice deficient in the large heparan sulfate proteoglycan perlecan/Hspg2 in this tissue. Ultrastructural measurements with electron microscopy of perlecan/Hspg2-deficient mice demonstrated diminished osteocyte canalicular pericellular area, resulting from a reduction in the total canalicular area. Additionally, perlecan/Hspg2-deficient mice showed decreased canalicular density and a reduced number of transverse tethering elements per canaliculus. These data indicated that perlecan/Hspg2 contributed to the integrity of the osteocyte lacunocanalicular system by maintaining the size of the pericellular space, an essential task to promote uninhibited interstitial fluid movement in this mechanosensitive environment. This work thus identified a new barrier function for perlecan/Hspg2 in murine cortical bone. © 2011 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.
Calpain-6, a target molecule of glucocorticoids, regulates osteoclastic bone resorption via cytoskeletal organization and microtubule acetylation
Authors: Hong Jung Min , Teitelbaum Steven L , Kim Tae-Ho , Ross F Patrick , Kim Shin-Yoon , Kim Hyun-Ju 
Published: September 2010

Abstract
Glucocorticoids (GCs) inhibit the resorptive capacity of the osteoclast by disrupting its cytoskeleton. We find that calpain-6 (Capn6), a unique, nonproteolytic member of its family, is suppressed 12-fold by dexamethasone (DEX) in the bone-degrading cell. While Capn6 abundance parallels commitment of naive bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) to the osteoclast phenotype, its excess or deletion does not affect the cell's differentiation. On the other hand, Capn6 localizes to the sealing zone, and its overexpression promotes osteoclast spreading and large actin ring formation, eventuating in stimulated bone degradation. Conversely, Capn6 knockdown impairs cytoskeletal organization and the cell's resorptive capacity. Capn6 complexes with tubulin, and its absence inhibits microtubule acetylation and stability in the osteoclast. Knockdown of Capn6 also reduces β3-integrin subunit protein, another essential regulator of osteoclast cytoskeletal function. Reflecting Capn6 as a target molecule of GCs, microtubule stability and acetylation, as well as the expression of β3-integrin protein, are similarly suppressed in DEX-treated osteoclasts. Moreover, overexpression of Capn6 rescues GC-mediated disruption of osteoclast cytoskeleton. Thus Capn6 promotes cytoskeletal organization and microtubule stability in osteoclasts, and its inhibition may mediate the resorption-arresting properties of GCs. © 2011 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.
Biogas potential and microbial population distributions in flushed dairy manure and implications on anaerobic digestion technology
Authors: Frear Craig , Wang Zhi‐Wu , Li Chenlin , Chen Shulin 
Published: September 2010

AbstractBACKGROUND: There remain technological deficiencies in the economical anaerobic digestion of the entire flow of flushed dairy manure on farms within cold climates. In order to develop an anaerobic digester tailored for this purpose, this study investigated the distributions of biomass and biogas generated in three particle‐size‐characterized zones of flushed dairy manure.RESULTS: Results demonstrate that comparable biogas generations are equally distributed between the solids and liquid phases of flushed dairy manure, implying that at least 50% of methane generation might be lost when utilizing existing processes that only selectively handle the liquid or solids phases. Microscopic and kinetic studies show that the majority of microorganisms in the manure are attached to the surface of undigested dairy manure fibrous solids. In particular, greater than 70% of acetate‐utilizing methanogens were found closely associated with the indigestible solids. This high microbial affinity to the dairy manure solids phase can be traced back to the selection pressure driven bacterial immobilization mechanism in cattle rumen.CONCLUSION: This study shows that dairy manure fibrous solids have the potential to act as effective natural biomass carriers for high rate and simultaneous methanation of both solids and liquid phases of flushed dairy manure in one digester.

Modeling anhydrobiosis: activation of the mitogen‐activated protein kinase ERK by dehydration in both human cells and nematodes
Authors: Huang Zebo , Banton Matthew C. , Tunnacliffe Alan 
Published: September 2010

AbstractAnhydrobiosis (“life without water”) is the state of suspended animation that certain organisms, including some nematodes, tardigrades, and bdelloid rotifers, enter during desiccation. Extreme water loss imposes considerable stress on biomolecules, cells, and tissues, and must require specific sensing and response mechanisms for survival. However, these mechanisms are poorly understood, in part owing to the lack of amenable model systems. We have, therefore, begun to develop mammalian cell lines as tools for investigating the eukaryotic response to desiccation, and have an additional long‐term goal of generating a desiccation‐tolerant mammalian cell. Here, we investigate the role of the mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in controlling gene expression in response to evaporative water loss. We report that the ERK MAPK pathway inhibitor U0126 can almost completely block induction of desiccation early response genes in a human cell line, suggesting a role for the ERK signal transduction pathway in the stress response. Accordingly, ERK is activated by phosphorylation during desiccation of human cells. Importantly, nematodes also activate ERK on drying, showing that the mammalian cell model behaves similarly to invertebrates experiencing similar stress conditions. We further reveal that, in response to desiccation, human cells can rapidly initiate complex stress signaling networks involving all three MAPK pathways, with transient activation of ERK and sustained activation of JNK and p38. These results are consistent with a role for MAPK pathways in anhydrobiotic adaptation and suggest that non‐anhydrobiotes are able to sense and, at least to some extent, respond appropriately to evaporative water loss.

Abstract
A series of novel 1‐[(1R)‐1‐(6‐fluoro‐1,3‐benzothiazol‐2‐yl)ethyl]‐3‐substituted phenyl ureas were synthesized by the condensation of (1R)‐1‐(6‐fluoro‐1,3‐benzothiazol‐2‐yl)ethanamine with substituted phenyl isocyanates under mild conditions. Their structures were confirmed 1H, 13C, and 19F NMR spectra, and elemental analyses. The optical activities were confirmed by optical rotation measurements. The inhibition activity of 1‐[(1R)‐1‐(6‐fluoro‐1,3‐benzothiazol‐2‐yl)ethyl]‐3‐substituted phenyl ureas to acetylcholinesterase (ACHE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE) was also tested. Preliminary bioassay indicated that the target ureas displayed excellent acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase inhibition activity. J. Heterocyclic Chem., 2011.
