We report the results of an experiment in which electrophysiological activity was recorded from the human cerebellum and cerebrum in a sample of 14 healthy subjects before, during and after a classical eye blink conditioning procedure with an auditory tone as conditional stimulus and a maxillary nerve unconditional stimulus. The primary aim was to show changes in the cerebellum and cerebrum correlated with behavioral ocular responses. Electrodes recorded EMG and EOG at peri-ocular sites, EEG from over the frontal eye-fields and the electrocerebellogram (ECeG) from over the posterior fossa...

Marine teleosts ingest large amounts of seawater containing various ions, including 0.4 mM boric acid, which can accumulate at toxic levels in the body. However, the molecular mechanisms by which marine teleosts absorb and excrete boric acid are not well understood. Aquaporins (Aqps) are homologous to the nodulin-like intrinsic protein (NIP) family of plant boric acid channels. To investigate the potential roles of Aqps on boric acid transport across the plasma membrane in marine teleosts, we analyzed the function of Aqps of Japanese pufferfish (Takifugu rubripes) expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes...

Peripheral artery diseases (PAD) increases muscle afferent nerve-activated reflex sympathetic nervous and blood pressure responses during exercise (termed as exercise pressor reflex). However, the precise signaling pathways leading to the exaggerated autonomic responses in PAD are undetermined. Considering that limb ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is a feature of PAD, we determined the characteristics of acid-sensing ion channel (ASIC) currents in muscle dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons under the conditions of hindlimb I/R and ischemia of PAD...

In animal models, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EV) have been found to have beneficial effects in cardiovascular disease, but only when administered via intramyocardial injection. The biodistribution of either intravenous or intramyocardial injection of MSC-EV in the presence of myocardial injury is uncharacterized at this time. We hypothesized that intramyocardial injection will ensure delivery of MSC-EV to the ischemic myocardium, while intravenous injection will not...

Activation of thermogenic adipose tissue depots has been linked to improved metabolism and weight loss. To study the molecular regulation of adipocyte thermogenesis, we performed RNA-Seq on brown adipose tissue (BAT), gonadal white adipose tissue (gWAT), and inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) from mice treated with β3-adrenoreceptor agonist CL316,243 (CL). Our analysis revealed diverse transcriptional profile and identified pathways in response to CL treatment. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in iWATCL were associated with the upregulation of pathways involved in cellular immune responses and with the upregulation of the browning program...

Loss of the mediator Of cell motility 1 (Memo1) in mice caused kidney disease and a bone disease with diminished osteoblast and osteoclast biomarkers in serum, resembling alterations occurring in adynamic bone disease in humans with chronic kidney disease or in Klotho-deficient mice. Here, we investigated whether Memo1 expression in osteoblasts is required for normal bone structure and FGF23 expression. We deleted Memo1 in the osteoblast-osteocyte lineage in Memo fl/fl mice using a Cre under Col1a1 promotor to obtain osteoblast-specific knockout (obKO) mice...

The tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) mechanism modulates renal hemodynamics and glomerular filtration rate in individual nephrons. Our study aimed to evaluate the TGF-induced vascular responses by inhibiting Na-K-2Cl co-transporters and sodium-glucose co-transporters in rats. We assessed cortical hemodynamics with high-resolution laser speckle contrast imaging, which enabled the evaluation of blood flow in individual microvessels and analysis of their dynamical patterns in the time-frequency domain. We demonstrated that a systemic administration of furosemide abolishes TGF-mediated hemodynamic responses...

The pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis involves complex interplay between cell types and signaling pathways. Recurrent alveolar epithelial injury can occur during pulmonary inflammation, causing dysregulation of epithelial repair. Dysregulated repair interacts with mesenchymal, inflammatory, and endothelial cells to trigger fibroblast-to-myofibroblast activation. CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) is a type II membrane protein mediating pleiotropic effect. However, the mechanistic role of CD26/DPP4 in pulmonary fibrosis remains unclear...

Physical performance decrements observed during multi-stressor military operations may be attributed, in part, to cellular membrane dysfunction, which is quantifiable using phase angle (PhA) derived from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Positive relationships between PhA and performance have been previously reported in cross-sectional studies and following longitudinal exercise training programs, but whether changes in PhA are indicative of acute decrements in performance during military operations is unknown...

The inotropic effects of glucagon have been recognized for many years, but it has remained unclear whether glucagon signaling is beneficial to cardiac function. We evaluated the effects of glucagon alone and in combination with the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist exenatide in the isolated perfused rat heart. The isolated perfused rat heart was used to investigate the initial inotropic and chronotropic effects of glucagon and exenatide during aerobic perfusion, and recovery of contractile function following ischaemia/reperfusion...

Endothelial cell-selective adhesion molecule (ESAM) regulates inflammatory cell adhesion and transmigration and promotes angiogenesis. Here, we examined the role of ESAM in cardiac vascularization, inflammatory cell infiltration, and left ventricle (LV) diastolic function under basal and hemodynamic stress conditions. We employed mice with homozygous genetic deletion of ESAM (ESAM-/- ) and also performed uninephrectomy and aldosterone infusion (UNX-Aldo) to induce volume and pressure overload. Using echocardiography, we found that ESAM-/- mice display no change in systolic function...

The present study was to examine sex and strain differences in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal blood flow (RBF) in C57BL6, 129/Sv, and C57BLKS/J mice, three commonly used mouse strains in renal research. GFR was measured by transdermal measurement of FITC-sinitrin clearance in conscious mice. RBF was measured by a flow probe placed in the renal artery under an anesthetic state. In C57BL6 mice, there were no sex differences in both GFR and RBF. In 129/Sv mice, females had significantly greater GFR than males at age of 24 weeks, but not at 8 weeks...

Mechanosensitive TRPV4 channel plays a dominant role in maintaining [Ca2+ ]i homeostasis and flow-sensitive [Ca2+ ]i signaling in the renal tubule. Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) manifests as progressive cyst growth due to cAMP-dependent fluid secretion along with deficient mechanosensitivity and impaired TRPV4 activity. Here, we tested how regulation of renal TRPV4 function by dietary K+ intake modulates the rate of cystogenesis and mechanosensitive [Ca2+ ]i signaling in cystic cells of PCK453 rats, a homologous model of human autosomal recessive PKD (ARPKD)...

Regular, moderate exercise modifies the gut microbiome and contributes to human metabolic and immune health. The microbiome may exert influence on host physiology through the microbial production and modification of metabolites (xenometabolites); however, this has not been extensively explored. We hypothesized that 6 weeks of supervised, aerobic exercise 3×/week (60%-75% heart rate reserve [HRR], 30-60 min) in previously sedentary, lean (n = 14) and obese (n = 10) adults would modify both the fecal and serum xenometabolome...

This case study reports the effects of six sessions of repeated sprint training in hypoxia (RSH) over 3 weeks on explosive power production capacity and repeated sprint ability (RSA) in two Japanese international-level foil fencers. The six RSH sessions (60-s sprints in total per session: consisting of two sets of five 6-s sprints with 30-s passive recovery, at simulated altitude of 3000 m) caused improvements of peak power output (PPO; Athlete A: 5.1%; Athlete B: 3.2%) and mean power output (MPO; Athlete A: 4...

Acoustic myography (AMG) noninvasively probes muscle activity. We explored whether AMG captures abnormal motor activity in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and how this activity is modulated by antiparkinsonian medication. Twenty patients with PD underwent AMG of the biceps, triceps, extensor carpi radialis longus, and adductor policis muscles of the more affected arm during active and passive movements, using a mobile AMG device (CURO, Denmark). AMG and assessment of motor symptoms were performed in a pragmatic off-medication state, as well as one and 3 h after oral intake of 200 mg levodopa...

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) including ponatinib are commonly used to treat cancer patients. Unfortunately, TKIs induce cardiac as well as skeletal muscle dysfunction as a side effect. Therefore, detailed mechanistic studies are required to understand its pathogenesis and to develop a therapeutic treatment. The current study was undertaken to examine whether ponatinib induces apoptosis and apoptotic mechanisms both in vitro and in vivo models and furthermore to test the potential of bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7) as a possible treatment option for its attenuation...

Sites and mechanisms regulating the supply of homocysteine (Hcy) to the circulation are unexplored in humans. We studied the exchange of Hcy across the forearm in CKD patients (n = 17, eGFR 20 ± 2 ml/min), in hemodialysis (HD)-treated patients (n = 14) and controls (n = 9). Arterial Hcy was ~ 2.5 folds increased in CKD and HD patients (p < 0.05-0.03 vs. controls). Both in controls and in patients Hcy levels in the deep forearm vein were consistently greater (+~7%, p < 0...

Low-grade inflammation is central to coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) and is reduced by exercise training. The objective of this study was to compare the anti-inflammatory potential of moderate-to-vigorous intensity continuous training (MICT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in patients with CAD with or without T2D. The design and setting of this study is based on a secondary analysis of registered randomized clinical trial NCT02765568. Male patients with CAD were randomly assigned to either MICT or HIIT, with subgroups divided according to T2D status (non-T2D-HIIT n = 14 and non-T2D-MICT n = 13; T2D-HIIT n = 6 and T2D-MICT n = 5)...
