Context: Genetic haploinsufficiency of SYNGAP1/Syngap1 commonly occurs in developmental brain disorders, such as intellectual disability, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and autism spectrum disorder. Thus, studying mouse models of Syngap1 haploinsufficiency may uncover pathologic developmental processes common among distinct brain disorders.', 'A Syngap1 haploinsufficiency model was used to explore the relationship between critical period dendritic spine abnormalities, cortical circuit assembly, and the window for genetic rescue to understand how damaging mutations disrupt key substrates of mouse brain development.', 'Syngap1 mutations broadly disrupted a developmentally sensitive period that corresponded to the period of heightened postnatal cortical synaptogenesis. Pathogenic Syngap1 mutations caused a coordinated acceleration of dendrite elongation and spine morphogenesis and pruning of these structures in neonatal cortical pyramidal neurons. These mutations also prevented a form of developmental structural plasticity associated with experience-dependent reorganization of brain circuits. Consistent with these findings, Syngap1 mutant mice displayed an altered pattern of long-distance synaptic inputs into a cortical area important for cognition. Interestingly, the ability to genetically improve the behavioral endophenotype of Syngap1 mice decreased slowly over postnatal development and mapped onto the developmental period of coordinated dendritic insults.
Answer: Pathogenic Syngap1 mutations have a profound impact on the dynamics and structural integrity of pyramidal cell postsynaptic structures known to guide the de novo wiring of nascent cortical circuits. These findings support the idea that disrupted critical periods of dendritic growth and spine plasticity may be a common pathologic process in developmental brain disorders.

Context: Several lines of evidence suggest that the dietary isoflavone genistein (Gen) has beneficial effects with regard to cardiovascular disease and in particular on aspects related to blood pressure and angiogenesis. The biological action of Gen may be, at least in part, attributed to its ability to affect cell signalling and response. However, so far, most of the molecular mechanisms underlying the activity of Gen in the endothelium are unknown.', 'To examine the transcriptional response to 2.5 microM Gen on primary human endothelial cells (HUVEC), we applied cDNA array technology both under baseline condition and after treatment with the pro-atherogenic stimulus, copper-oxidized LDL. The alteration of the expression patterns of individual transcripts was substantiated using either RT-PCR or Northern blotting. Gen significantly affected the expression of genes encoding for proteins centrally involved in the vascular tone such as endothelin-converting enzyme-1, endothelin-2, estrogen related receptor alpha and atrial natriuretic peptide receptor A precursor. Furthermore, Gen countered the effect of oxLDL on mRNA levels encoding for vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 165, types 1 and 2.
Answer: Our data indicate that physiologically achievable levels of Gen change the expression of mRNA encoding for proteins involved in the control of blood pressure under baseline conditions and reduce the angiogenic response to oxLDL in the endothelium.

Context: To determine the influence of ketamine on endotoxin-induced leukocyte adherence and venular microhemodynamics.', 'Randomized, controlled trial.', 'Experimental laboratory.', 'Thirty male Wistar rats.', 'The rats were pretreated with ketamine (10 mg/kg iv) or 0.9% saline, and both groups were given endotoxin (Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide; 5 mg/kg iv). The control group received two doses of 0.9% saline.', 'The rates of leukocyte adherence and changes in microhemodynamics were monitored in rat mesenteric venules, using in vivo video microscopy. The number of adherent leukocytes was determined on-line in 10-min intervals from 60 mins before until 2 hrs after endotoxin administration. Venular diameters, red blood cell velocity, volumetric blood flow, and the venular wall shear rate were monitored before and at 10, 30, and 60 mins after endotoxin exposure. A 6.3-fold increase in the number of adherent leukocytes was observed 10 mins after administration of endotoxin when compared with control animals (5.87 +/- 0.69 vs. 0.93 +/- 0.21 adherent cells/100 microns; p < .001). This increase remained unchanged for 120 mins. In ketamine-pretreated rats, a 2.6-fold increase in leukocyte adherence occurred during the first 20 mins after endotoxin exposure (2.40 +/- 0.46 vs. 0.93 +/- 0.21 adherent cells/100 microns; p < .01). However, no difference in the number of adherent leukocytes between ketamine-pretreated and control animals was found after this 20-min period. In animals of the control group, no increase in leukocyte adherence occurred during the entire observation time. Diameters of mesenteric venules did not change after endotoxin exposure in any of the groups. Red blood cell velocity and venular blood flow in the endotoxin-treated groups decreased 10 mins after the injection of endotoxin when compared with controls, but these values did not show any difference when they were compared between ketamine and saline-pretreated animals. Similarly, venular wall shear rate in the endotoxin-treated groups decreased 10 and 30 mins after injection of endotoxin. However, no significant difference occurred between ketamine and saline-pretreated animals.
Answer: Pretreatment with ketamine attenuates endotoxin-induced leukocyte adherence by a shear rate-independent mechanism, suggesting reduced expression of adhesion molecules. These results indicate that ketamine exerts an anti-inflammatory effect, which might be beneficial in septic patients.
