description: Atheris squamigera (Hallowell, 1854)
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — No available specimen.
DISTRIBUTION. — Werner (1898) recorded four specimens of this species from Togo. Ernst & Rödel (2002) confirmed the presence of this species in Togo on the basis of a specimen deposited in ZMB (ZMB 13777) and collected in “ Togo ” (no specified locality). If it really originates from the country as currently defined, this specimen would represent the westernmost locality of this arboreal viper which is otherwise characteristic of the forests of Central Africa. Additional collection would allow us to confirm the occurrence of this species within the modern borders of Togo.

description: This paper presents low-temperature thermochronological data and K‑Ar fault gouge ages from the Sierra de San Luis in the Eastern Sierras Pampeanas in order to constrain its low-temperature thermal evolution and exhumation history. Thermal modelling based on (U-Th)/He dating of apatite and zircon and apatite fission track dating point to the Middle Permian and the Triassic/Early Jurassic as main cooling/exhumation phases, equivalent to ca. 40-50% of the total exhumation recorded by the applied methods. Cooling rates are generally low to moderate, varying between 2-10 °C/Ma during the Permian and Triassic periods and 0.5-1.5 °C/Ma in post-Triassic times. Slow cooling and, thus, persistent residence of samples in partial retention/partial annealing temperature conditions strongly influenced obtained ages. Thermochronological data indicate no significant exhumation after Cretaceous times, suggesting that sampled rocks were already at or near surface by the Cretaceous or even before. As consequence, Cenozoic cooling rates are low, generally between 0.2-0.5 °C/Ma which is, depending on geothermal gradient used for calculation, equivalent to a total Cenozoic exhumation of 0.6-1.8 km. K-Ar fault gouge data reveal long-term brittle fault activity. Fault gouge ages constrain the end of ductile and onset of brittle deformation in the Sierra de San Luis to the Late Carboniferous/Early Permian. Youngest K-Ar illite ages of 222-172 Ma are interpreted to represent the last illite formation event, although fault activity is recorded up to the Holocene.

description: We discuss the exchange-correlation energy of a multicomponent (multi-valley) two-dimensional electron gas and show that an extension of the recent parametrisation of the exchange-correlation energy by Attacalite et al (Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 256601 (2002)) describes well also the multicomponent system. We suggest a simple mass dependence of the correlation energy and apply it to study the phase diagram of the multicomponent 2D electron (or hole) gas. The results show that even a small mass difference of the components (e.g. heavy and light holes) decreases the concentration of the lighter components already at relatively high densities.

description: Quantum codes typically rely on large numbers of degrees of freedom to achieve low error rates. However each additional degree of freedom introduces a new set of error mechanisms. Hence minimizing the degrees of freedom that a quantum code utilizes is helpful. One quantum error correction solution is to encode quantum information into one or more bosonic modes. We revisit rotation-invariant bosonic codes, which are supported on Fock states that are gapped by an integer $g$ apart, and the gap $g$ imparts number shift resilience to these codes. Intuitively, since phase operators and number shift operators do not commute, one expects a trade-off between resilience to number-shift and rotation errors. Here, we obtain results pertaining to the non-existence of approximate quantum error correcting $g$-gapped single-mode bosonic codes with respect to Gaussian dephasing errors. We show that by using arbitrarily many modes, $g$-gapped multi-mode codes can yield good approximate quantum error correction codes for any finite magnitude of Gaussian dephasing and amplitude damping errors.

The Influence of the Experimental Methodology on the QED Theoretical Uncertainties on the Measurement of the W-Boson Mass at LEP

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Previous studies of the QED systematic uncertainties on the LEP measurement of the W-boson mass have used idealized event selections and fitting procedures. In this paper, the Monte Carlo tandem of KoralW and YFSWW is used to investigate how the full experimental mass extraction procedure affects these estimates. It is found that the kinematic fitting used in the experimental determination of the W-boson mass enhances the sensitivity to QED corrections involving real photon production. It is concluded that the previous estimates of the QED theoretical uncertainty on the LEP2 W-mass measurement may be too small. A simple procedure for approximating the effect of the kinematic fit at the level of the generated four fermions is proposed. This procedure would allow previous theoretical studies to be repeated using a much closer approximation of the real experimental mass extraction method. Finally, the possibility of setting experimental limits on O(alpha) theoretical uncertainties using identified e+e- -> W+W-gamma events is discussed.

description: The production of $W^{\pm}H$, $ZH$, $W^+W^-$, and $W^\pm Z$ pairs probes non-Standard-Model interactions of quarks, gauge bosons, and the Higgs boson. New effects can be parameterized in terms of an effective field theory (EFT) where the Lagrangian is expanded in terms of higher-dimension operators suppressed by increasing powers of a high scale $Λ$. We examine the importance of including next-to-leading-order QCD corrections in global fits to the coefficients of the EFT. The numerical implications on the fits due to different approaches to enforcing the validity of the EFT are quantified. We pay particular attention to the dependence of the fits on the expansion in $1/Λ^2$ since the differences between results calculated at ${\cal {O}}(1/Λ^2)$ and ${\cal{O}}(1/Λ^4)$ may give insight into the possible significance of dimension-8 effects.

Metallic iron for environmental remediation: learning from the Becher process.
Creators: name: Noubactep, C.
Publisher: name: FID GEO
Year: 2009

description: Metallic iron (Fe(0)) is a moderately reducing agent that has been reported to be capable of reducing many environmental contaminants. Reduction by Fe(0) used for environmental remediation is a well-known process to organic chemists, corrosion scientists and hydrometallurgists. However, considering Fe(0) as a reducing agent for contaminants has faced considerable scepticism because of the universal role of oxide layers on Fe(0) in the process of electron transfer at the Fe(0)/oxide/water interface. This communication shows how progress achieved in developing the Becher process in hydrometallurgy could accelerate the comprehension of processes in Fe(0)/H(2)O systems for environmental remediation. The Becher process is an industrial process for the manufacture of synthetic rutile (TiO(2)) by selectively removing metallic iron (Fe(0)) from reduced ilmenite (RI). This process involves an aqueous oxygen leaching step at near neutral pH. Oxygen leaching suffers from serious limitations imposed by limited mass transport rates of dissolved oxygen across the matrix of iron oxides from initial Fe(0) oxidation. In a Fe(0)/H(2)O system pre-formed oxide layers similarly act as physical barrier limiting the transport of dissolved species (including contaminants and O(2)) to the Fe(0)/H(2)O interface. Instead of this universal role of oxide layers on Fe(0), improper conceptual models have been developed to rationalize electron transfer mechanisms at the Fe(0)/oxide/water interface.
Lake Van, Eastern Anatolia, Hydrochemistry and History

Publisher: name: Springer Netherlands
Year: 2008

description: Saline, 450-m-deep Lake Van (Eastern Anatolia, Turkey) is, with 576 km3, the third largest closed lake on Earth and its largest soda lake. In 1989 and 1990, we investigated the hydrochemistry of the lake’s water column and of the tributary rivers. We also cored the Postglacial sediment column at various water depths. The sediment is varved throughout, allowing precise dating back to ca. 15 ka BP. Furthermore, lake terrace sediments provided a 606-year-long floating chronology of the Glacial high-stand of the lake dating to 21 cal. ka BP. The sediments were investigated for their general mineralogical composition, important geochemical parameters, and pore water chemistry as well. These data allow reconstructing the history of the lake level that has seen several regressions and transgressions since the high-stand at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum. Today, the lake is very alkaline, highly supersaturated with Ca-carbonate and has a salt content of about 22 g kg−1. In summer, the warmer epilimnion is diluted with river water and forms a stable surface layer. Depth of winter mixing differs from year to year but during time of investigation the lake was oxygenated down to its bottom. In general, the lake is characterized by an Na–CO3–Cl–(SO4)-chemistry that evolved from the continuous loss of calcium as carbonate and magnesium in the form of Mg-silica-rich mineral phases. The Mg cycle is closely related to that of silica which in turn is governed by the production and dissolution of diatoms as the dominant phytoplankton species in Lake Van. In addition to Ca and Mg, a mass balance approach based on the recent lake chemistry and river influx suggests a fractional loss of potassium, sodium, sulfur, and carbon in comparison to chloride in the compositional history of Lake Van. Within the last 3 ka, minor lake level changes seem to control the frequency of deep water renewal, the depth of stratification, and the redox state of the hypolimnion. Former major regressions are marked by Mg-carbonate occurrences in the otherwise Ca-carbonate dominated sediment record. Pore water data suggest that, subsequent to the major regression culminating at 10.7 ka BP, a brine layer formed in the deep basin that existed for about 7 ka. Final overturn of the lake, triggered by the last major regression starting at about 3.5 ka BP, may partly account for the relative depletion in sulfur and carbon due to rapid loss of accumulated gases. An even stronger desiccation phase is proposed for the time span between about 20 and 15 ka BP following the LGM, during which major salts could have been lost by precipitation of Na-carbonates and Na-sulfates.

Indicator Kriging without Order Relation Violations
Creators: name: Tolosana-Delgado, Raimon
name: Pawlowsky-Glahn, Vera
name: Egozcue, Juan-Jose
Publisher: name: Springer-Verlag
Year: 2008

description: Indicator kriging (IK) is a spatial interpolation technique aimed at estimating the conditional cumulative distribution function (ccdf) of a variable at an unsampled location. Obtained results form a discrete approximation to this ccdf, and its corresponding discrete probability density function (cpdf) should be a vector, where each component gives the probability of an occurrence of a class. Therefore, this vector must have positive components summing up to one, like in a composition in the simplex. This suggests a simplicial approach to IK, based on the algebraic-geometric structure of this sample space: simplicial IK actually works with log-odds. Interpolated log-odds can afterwards be easily re-expressed as the desired cpdf or ccdf. An alternative but equivalent approach may also be based on log-likelihoods. Both versions of the method avoid by construction all conventional IK standard drawbacks: estimates are always within the (0,1) interval and present no order-relation problems (either with kriging or co-kriging). Even the modeling of indicator structural functions is clarified.

description: We present electronic structure calculations for the one-dimensional magnetic chain compounds Ca_3CoRhO_6 and Ca_3FeRhO_6. The calculations are based on density functional theory and the local density approximation. We use the augmented spherical wave (ASW) method. The observed alternation of low- and high-spin states along the Co-Rh and Fe-Rh chains is related to differences in the oxygen coordination of the transition metal sites. Due to strong hybridization the O 2p states are polarized, giving rise to extended localized magnetic moments centered at the high-spin sites. Strong metal-metal overlap along the chains leads to a substantial contribution of the low-spin Rh 4d_{3z^2-r^2} orbitals to the exchange coupling of the extended moments. Interestingly, this mechanism holds for both compounds, even though the coupling is ferromagnetic for the cobalt and antiferromagnetic for the iron compound. However, our results allow to understand the different types of coupling from the filling dependence of the electronic properties.

Characterization of the interaction between E. coli FtsY and the SecYEG complex
Creators: name: Chan, Kenneth Ken-Yin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Translocation of proteins into or across the lipid bilayer is an essential process for all living cells. The Sec translocon, known as Sec61αγβ in eukaryotes and SecYEG in prokaryotes, is composed of three subunits in which the largest one, Sec61α or SecY, constitutes the protein channel or pore in the membrane. For the majority of integral membrane proteins, translocation is performed through the signal recognition particle (SRP) pathway. In this pathway, the SRP recognizes and binds to the leading signal sequence of nascent proteins emerging from translating ribosomal units. Through an interaction with an SRP receptor (SR), located at the membrane, the SRP-ribosome-nascent chain complex is brought to close proximity of the Sec complex. In this thesis, the interaction between the prokaryotic SRP receptor, FtsY, and the SecYEG complex is analyzed. The A domain of FtsY is identified as the SecYEG-FtsY interacting domain by Blue Native PAGE and analytical gel filtration. Using surface plasmon resonance technique, the binding affinity of FtsY to the Sec translocon is measured. Finally, the interaction seems to inhibit the GTPase activity of FtsY.

description: We derive boundary states which describe configurations of multiple parallel branes with arbitrary open string states interactions in bosonic string theory. This is obtained by a careful discussion of the factorization of open/closed string states amplitudes taking care of cycles needed by ensuring vertexes commutativity: in particular the discussion reveals that already at the tree level open string knows of the existence of closed string. We also give a formal expression for computing pure closed string amplitudes using the open string formalism.

We find in general sizable corrections of $\mathcal{O}(p^6)$. We use our results to obtain results on the $1/N_c$ suppressed low energy constants $L_4^r$ and $L_6^r$ as well as on two $\mathcal{O}(p^6)$ low energy constants. We present some numerical results for masses and decay constants as well. We derive a relation for the scalar form factors analogous to Sirlin's relation for vector form factors.

description: There are two canonical approaches to treating the Standard Model as an Effective Field Theory (EFT): Standard Model EFT (SMEFT), expressed in the electroweak symmetric phase utilizing the Higgs doublet, and Higgs EFT (HEFT), expressed in the broken phase utilizing the physical Higgs boson and an independent set of Goldstone bosons. HEFT encompasses SMEFT, so understanding whether SMEFT is sufficient motivates identifying UV theories that require HEFT as their low energy limit. This distinction is complicated by field redefinitions that obscure the naive differences between the two EFTs. By reformulating the question in a geometric language, we derive concrete criteria that can be used to distinguish SMEFT from HEFT independent of the chosen field basis. We highlight two cases where perturbative new physics must be matched onto HEFT: (i) the new particles derive all of their mass from electroweak symmetry breaking, and (ii) there are additional sources of electroweak symmetry breaking. Additionally, HEFT has a broader practical application: it can provide a more convergent parametrization when new physics lies near the weak scale. The ubiquity of models requiring HEFT suggests that SMEFT is not enough.

description: With the spatial resolution of the Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA), dusty galaxies in the distant Universe typically appear as single, compact blobs of dust emission, with a median half-light radius, $\approx$ 1 kpc. Occasionally, strong gravitational lensing by foreground galaxies or galaxy clusters has probed spatial scales 1-2 orders of magnitude smaller, often revealing late-stage mergers, sometimes with tantalising hints of sub-structure. One lensed galaxy in particular, the Cosmic Eyelash at $z=$ 2.3, has been cited extensively as an example of where the interstellar medium exhibits obvious, pronounced clumps, on a spatial scale of $\approx$ 100 pc. Seven orders of magnitude more luminous than giant molecular clouds in the local Universe, these features are presented as circumstantial evidence that the blue clumps observed in many $z\sim$ 2-3 galaxies are important sites of ongoing star formation, with significant masses of gas and stars. Here, we present data from ALMA which reveal that the dust continuum of the Cosmic Eyelash is in fact smooth and can be reproduced using two Sérsic profiles with effective radii, 1.2 and 4.4 kpc, with no evidence of significant star-forming clumps down to a spatial scale of $\approx$ 80 pc and a star-formation rate of $

description: A semiconducting nanowire fully wrapped by a superconducting shell has been proposed as a platform for obtaining Majorana modes at small magnetic fields. In this study, we demonstrate that the appearance of subgap states in such structures is actually governed by the junction region in tunneling spectroscopy measurements, and not the full-shell nanowire itself. Short tunneling regions never show subgap states, whereas longer junctions always do. This can be understood in terms of quantum dots forming in the junction and hosting Andreev levels in the Yu-Shiba-Rusinov regime. The intricate magnetic field dependence of the Andreev levels, through both the Zeeman and Little-Parks effects, may result in robust zero-bias peaks, features that could be easily misinterpreted as originating from Majorana zero modes, but are unrelated to topological superconductivity.

description: We present a new catalog of HII regions based on the integral field spectroscopy (IFS) data of the extended CALIFA and PISCO samples. The selection of HII regions was based on two assumptions: a clumpy structure with high contrast of H$α$ emission and an underlying stellar population comprising young stars. The catalog provides the spectroscopic information of 26,408 individual regions corresponding to 924 galaxies, including the flux intensities and equivalent widths of 51 emission lines covering the wavelength range between 3745-7200A. To our knowledge, this is the largest catalog of spectroscopic properties of HII regions. We explore a new approach to decontaminate the emission lines from diffuse ionized gas contribution. This diffuse gas correction was estimated to correct every emission line within the considered spectral range. With the catalog of HII regions corrected, new demarcation lines are proposed for the classical diagnostic diagrams. Finally, we study the properties of the underlying stellar populations of the HII regions. It was found that there is a direct relationship between the ionization conditions on the nebulae and the properties of stellar populations besides the physicals condition on the ionized regions.

Ultrastructure of the Spermatophore Lateral Ridge in Hermit Crabs (Decapoda, Anomura, Paguroidea)
Creators: name: Tudge, Christopher
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The pedunculate spermatophore is characteristic of the Anomura, and the Paguroidea in particular. It has a sperm-filled ampulla which is composed of two valves joined at a conspicuous lateral ridge. This lateral ridge is a thickening of the spermatophore wall but also a discontinuity between the wall morphology of each valve. Within the hermit crabs (Paguroidea) the spermatophore wall morphology can be divided into three categories: fibrillar, heterogeneously granular and homogeneously granular. The fibrillar form is found in representatives from the families Coenobitidae and Diogenidae, with the exception of those of the genus Clibanarius which have the heterogeneously granular form, while the homogeneously granular form has been recorded from members of the family Paguridae. A single galatheid crab, Allogalathea elegans is shown to have a homogeneously granular spermatophore wall and ridge like this latter group of paguroids. These differences in spermatophore wall and ridge morphology between the various taxa in the Anomura appear to be phylogenetically significant.

description: In the perspective of long term geological storage, high level nuclear wastes will be overpacked in low carbon steel containers. In that context, we have studied the influence of oxygen dissolved in water on iron corrosion. Therefore, leaching experiments were performed in desaerated D$\_2$O and in aerated H$\_2$O and a kinetic study of iron corrosion under proton irradiation was lead in aqueous media with two different dissolved oxygen concentrations. The leaching experiments underline the major role of dissolved oxygen in oxydoreduction reactions which take place as far as iron is in contact with water. But the kinetic study of iron corrosion under irradiation put in evidence the balance between the oxydoreduction reactions and the corrosion rate induced by radicals species generated by water radiolysis. In addition, to check if, in the atomic % concentration range, hydrogen diffuse from the air/Fe interface through the foil an irradiation experiment was performed in argon. It proved that no hydrogen permeation occurs at a concentration level of the atomic percent.

description: Measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation provide a unique opportunity for a direct study of the primordial cosmic plasma at redshift z ~1000. The angular power spectra of temperature and polarisation fluctuations are powerful observational objectives as they encode information on fundamental cosmological parameters and on the physics of the early universe. A large number of increasingly ambitious balloon-borne and ground-based experiments have been carried out following the first detection of CMB anisotropies by COBE-DMR, probing the angular power spectrum up to high multipoles. The recent data from WMAP provide a new major step forward in measurements percision. The ESA mission Planck Surveyor, to be launched in 2007, is the third-generation satellite devoted to CMB imaging. Planck is expected to extract the full cosmological information from temperature anisotropies and to open up new fronteers in the CMB field.

description: Plasma dynamics critically depends on density and temperature, thus well-controlled experimental realizations are essential benchmarks for theoretical models. The formation of an ultracold plasma can be triggered by ionizing a tunable number of atoms in a micrometer-sized volume of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) by a single femtosecond laser pulse. The large density combined with the extremely low temperature of the BEC give rise to an initially strongly coupled plasma in a so far unexplored regime bridging ultracold neutral plasma and ionized nanoclusters. Here, we report on ultrafast cooling of electrons, trapped on orbital trajectories in the long-range Coulomb potential of the dense ionic core, with a cooling rate of 400 K/ps. Furthermore, our experimental setup grants direct access to the electron temperature that relaxes from 5250 K to below 10 K in less than 500 ns.

Quartärforschung im Lonetal

Publisher: name: Geozon Science Media
Year: 1954

description: Das Lonetal zieht in 50 km langem, überwiegend nordostwärtigem Lauf durch die Hochfläche der Ulmer und Heidenheimer Alb zur Brenz. In den letzten Perioden des Pleistozäns war das Lonetal ein wichtiger Sammelort für die damalige Tierwelt, und damit in vielfacher Besiedelung der zahlreichen Höhlen auch für den Menschen. Die seit Jahrzehnten laufenden Untersuchungen des Verfassers beschränken sich absichtlich auf das Lonetal als eine biosoziologisch und kulturmorphologisch zusammengehörige, urgeschichtliche Landschaft. Die Höhlen des Lonetals werden seit 1862 untersucht. Bärenhöhle im Hohlenstein, Bocksteinhöhle, Fohlenhaus, Salzbühl, Kleine Scheuer am Hohlenstein, und die 1931 berühmt gewordene Vogelherdhöhle. Der Autor erforschte 1932—35 am Bockstein verschiedene Höhlen und vor allem die Bocksteinschmiede, 1935—39 den Stadel im Hohlenstein. Seit 1953 setzte er die Grabungen am Bockstein fort. Unter vorläufigem Verzicht auf Fernvergleiche und ausgreifendere Deutungsversuche wird im Nahvergleich möglichst gehäufter Aufschlüsse und ihrer „Schichtaccorde" versucht, eine zunächst örtlich gültige Schichten-, Zeiten» und Kulturenfolge zu ermitteln. Der Vergleich nächstliegender Aufschlüsse läßt auch typo-logische Vergleichshilfen zu, die bei jedem Fernvergleich auszuschließen sind. Auf mögliche Hiatus im Profil ist zu achten. Die Micoquien-Kultur der Bocksteinschmiede gibt das Beispiel einer mittel-paläolithischen „Faustkeil- und Spitzen-Kultur", die als eine der letzten Blüten alt-paläolithischer, jahrhunderttausendealter Werkzeugtraditionen erscheint. Als „leitender Werkzeugtypus" des Bockstein-Micoquiens ist das „Bocksteinmesser" anzusehen, das mit der „leichten Hand" in meist linkshändigem Gebrauch mit auf den Messerrücken aufgelegtem Zeigefinger auf „anatomische" Weise zu führen war. Die Frage der zeitlichen Einordnung des Bockstein-Micoquiens führt zu der Erörterung, wie weit die bisher vorliegenden Profile und ihre noch nicht abgeschlossene, vergleichend petrogra-phische Spezialerforschung es erlauben, den Micoquien-führenden Teil der Schichten als würm- oder als jungriß-zeitlich anzusehen.

description: We present a quantum Boltzmann equation analysis of the spin-Hall effect in a diffusive Rashba two-dimensional electron system. Within the framework of the self-consistent Born approximation, we consider the roles of disorder-induced quasiclassical relaxation, collisional broadening of the quasiparticles, and the intracollisional field effect in regard to spin-Hall dynamics. We present an analytical proof that the spin-Hall current vanishes, independently of the coupling strength, of the quasiparticle broadening, of temperature and of the specific form of the isotropic scattering potential. A sum relation of the collision terms in a helicity basis is also examined.

description: We reconsider the case for the association of Galactic globular clusters (GCs) to the tidal stream of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph), using Gaia DR2 data. We use RR Lyrae to trace the stream in 6D and we select clusters matching the observed stream in position and velocity. In addition to the clusters residing in the main body of the galaxy (M 54, Ter 8, Ter 7, Arp 2) we confirm the membership of Pal 12 and Whiting 1 to the portion of the trailing arm populated by stars lost during recent perigalactic passages. NGC 2419, NGC 5634 and NGC 4147 are very interesting candidates, possibly associated to more ancient wraps of the stream. We note that all these clusters, with the exception of M 54, that lies within the stellar nucleus of the galaxy, are found in the trailing arm of the stream. The selected clusters are fully consistent with the [Fe/H] vs. [Mg/Fe], [Ca/Fe] patterns and the age-metallicity relation displayed by field stars in the main body of Sgr dSph.

In vitro analysis of the biochemical pathways activated by cholesteryl glucoside in a motor neuron hybrid model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonism dementia complex
Creators: name: Ly, Philip Tuan Thanh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Steryl glycosides are a family of compounds commonly found in the environment with unclear biological roles. Cycad seeds, a dietary link to the etiology of the Guamanian amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-Parkinsonism dementia complex (ALS-PDC) have an abundant amount of steryl glycosides. Previously, our laboratory demonstrated that several members of the cycad-derived steryl glycosides have toxic properties. Cholesteryl glucosides (CG), a variant form of the cycad-derived steryl glycosides have been found to induce cell death in primary rat cortical neurons. However, other groups have demonstrated that CG can protect fibroblast cells from heat shock. In the present study, we showed that the motor neuronderived cell line, NSC34 cells, exposed to CG resulted in a concentration- and timedependent reduction in cell viability. However, a brief exposure of CG for one hour to NSC34 cells induced cytoprotection against serum deprivation stress. The Kinetworks™ KPSS-1.3 phosphosite screen was used to examine phosphorylation changes during CG preconditioning and indicated elevated AktSer⁻⁴⁷³ phosphorylation. Suppression of CG- stimulated Akt phosphorylation with pharmacological inhibitors abolished CG preconditioning. Furthermore, the results indicated AktSer⁻⁴⁷³ phosphorylation via a PI3K-dependent and independent way. Erk1, but not Erk2 phosphorylation at its activation site was inhibited with CG treatment. The role of Erk1 inhibition in CG toxicity remains unclear. JNK and p38 MAPK were activation were temporally delayed, but were found to not involved in mediating cell death. A sub-population of NSC34 cells treated with CG for at least 4 days displayed a differentiated phenotype with enlarged soma and extended neurites. Moreover, focal neurite swellings with accumulated cytoskeletal proteins and disease-associated phospho-Tau were observed. CG-treatment did not induce abnormal cytoplasmic accumulation of TDP43, as seen in sporadic ALS and Guamanian ALS and PDC cases. Trypan blue staining indicated that the treated-cells with abnormal morphology were viable. Taken together, these results demonstrated that CG is toxic to NSC34 cells. As a cellular response to stress, these cells upregulated survival signals and/or undergo differentiation to resist CG toxicity. A better understanding of the biochemical pathways triggered by CG in NSC34 cells may provide insights to a common aberrant mechanism underlying the cause of neuronal death in ALS-PDC.
