In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

Question: Context: Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and N-cadherin interact to transduce intracellular signals. However, the specific molecular mechanisms of this interaction are unclear. This study attempted to detect changes in GDNF-induced β-catenin phosphorylation and nuclear translocation in C6 glioma cells.', 'C6 glioma cells were treated with GDNF (70 ng/mL) and membrane and cytoplasmic proteins were extracted. A N-cadherin antibody was used for co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP). Western blot analysis using the co-IP protein was completed using antibodies for β-catenin, Src and β-actin. Immunocytochemistry was conducted with the same antibodies. To determine if Src induced phosphorylation of β-catenin Tyr-654, Western blot analysis was also performed on nuclear proteins from C6 cells treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor PP2 using then p- β-catenin antibody.', 'After induced by GDNF, C6 cell membrane β-catenin was phosphorylated at Tyr-654 and subsequently separated from the N-cadherin/β-catenin complex. Further study confirmed that the induction by GDNF significantly increased cytoplasmic and nuclear expression of phospho-β-catenin (Tyr-654) in C6 glioma cells. There was also an increase in the binding of non-receptor protein kinase Src with N-cadherin on the inner cell membrane surface. Src induced phosphorylation of β-catenin Tyr-654 induced by GDNF decreased significantly.\Question: Does glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor promote β-catenin phosphorylation and nuclear translocation in glioma cells?

Answer: The results of our study demonstrate that GDNF increases the intracellular phosphorylation level of β-catenin through N-cadherin/Src signaling, which subsequently stimulates the nuclear translocation of β-catenin. This study provides a theoretical basis for us to reveal the role of biological mechanisms on glioma cell by GDNF.


Question: Context: Myocardial infarction (MI) induces neural remodelling of the left stellate ganglion (LSG), which may contribute to ischaemia-induced arrhythmias. The neural chemorepellent Semaphorin 3a (Sema3a) has been identified as a negative regulator of sympathetic innervation in the LSG and heart. We previously reported that overexpression of Sema3a in the border zone could reduce the arrhythmogenic effects of cardiac sympathetic hyperinnervation post-MI. This study investigated whether Sema3a overexpression within the LSG confers an antiarrhythmic effect after MI through decreasing extra- and intra-cardiac neural remodelling.', 'Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to MI, and randomly allocated to intra-LSG microinjection of either phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), adenovirus encoding green fluorescent protein (AdGFP), or adenovirus encoding Sema3a (AdSema3a). Sham-operated rats served as controls. Two weeks after infarction, MI-induced nerve sprouting and sympathetic hyperinnervation in the LSG and myocardium were significantly attenuated by intra-LSG injection with AdSema3a, as assessed by immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis of growth-associated protein 43 and tyrosine hydroxylase. This was also confirmed by sympathetic nerve function changes assessed by cardiac norepinephrine content. Additionally, intra-LSG injection with AdSema3a alleviated MI-induced accumulation of dephosphorylated connexin 43 in the infarct border zone. Furthermore, Sema3a overexpression in the LSG reduced the incidence of inducible ventricular tachyarrhythmia by programmed electrical stimulation post-MI, and arrhythmia scores were significantly lower in the AdSema3a group than in the PBS and AdGFP groups.\Question: Does semaphorin 3a transfection into the left stellate ganglion reduce susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias after myocardial infarction in rats?

Answer: Semaphorin 3a overexpression in the LSG ameliorates the inducibility of ventricular arrhythmias after MI, mainly through attenuation of neural remodelling within the cardiac-neuraxis.


Question: Context: Patients with alcoholic liver disease (ALD) display inflammation of the subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) which correlates with liver lesions. We examined macrophage markers and polarization in the SAT of alcoholic patients and adipokine expression according to liver inflammation; we studied the consequences of alcohol withdrawal.', 'Forty-seven patients with ALD were prospectively included. SAT and blood samples were collected at inclusion and after 1\xa0week of alcohol withdrawal. Pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines, inflammasome components and products, adipokine expression levels, macrophage markers and polarization in liver and SAT samples were assessed by RT-PCR arrays.', 'mRNA expression level of chemokines (IL8, semaphorin 7A) correlated with hepatic steatosis in both liver and SAT. Liver expression of inflammasome components (IL1β, IL18, caspase-1) and SAT IL6 and CCL2 correlated with liver damage. In patients with mild ALD, 1\xa0week of alcohol withdrawal was sufficient to decrease expression level of total macrophage markers in the adipose tissue, to orient adipose tissue macrophages (ATM) towards an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype and to decrease the mRNA expression of cytokines/chemokines (IL18, CCL2, osteopontin, semaphorin 7A). In patients with severe ALD, 1\xa0week of abstinence was also associated with an increase in CCL18 expression.\Question: Does alcohol withdrawal alleviate adipose tissue inflammation in patients with alcoholic liver disease?

Answer:
In alcoholic patients, upregulation of chemotactic factors in the liver and SAT is an early event that begins as early as the steatosis stage. The inflammasome pathway is upregulated in the liver of patients with ALD. One week of alcohol withdrawal alleviates macrophage infiltration in SAT and orients ATM towards a M2 anti-inflammatory phenotype; this implicates alcohol in adipose tissue inflammation (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00388323).
