Altered Resting-State Functional Connectivity of the Striatum in Parkinson's Disease after Levodopa Administration
2016
PLoS ONE
Despite improvement in motor symptoms, the effect of dopaminergic medications on cognition in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) is less clear. The purpose of this study was to reveal levodopa-induced acute changes in the functional connectivity of the striatum in patients with PD compared with matched untreated patients and healthy volunteers. Methods Twenty-two patients with PD underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging both ON and OFF dopamine-replacement therapy on two consecutive

... ays. Twenty-eight normal aging volunteers also did them without taking in levodopa. Three caudate seeds and two putamen seeds were selected to calculate functional connectivity intensity. Results Motor symptoms measured by UPDRS were significantly worse in PD OFF than PD ON. Decreased functional connectivity in PD OFF compared to controls was detected in the following seed regions: dorsal caudate, ventral putamen and dorsal putamen. Increases in connectivity in PD ON compared to controls were found in the primary and supplementary motor areas and the associative prefrontal and parietal regions, while decreases in anterior cingulate, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and parahippocampal gyrus. For the ventral striatal seeds, decreased connectivity in PD ON compared to PD OFF was found in the ventromedial prefrontal and orbitofrontal regions, dorsolateral prefrontal regions. For the dorsal PLOS ONE | striatal seeds, increased connectivity in PD ON compared to PD OFF was observed in the primary and secondary motor areas. Conclusion Our results suggest that levodopa significantly changes the motor and cognitive networks of the cortico-striatal pathways. This knowledge will lead clinicians to survey a broader range of symptoms in determining optimal therapy. Altered Functional Connectivity of the Striatum in PD PLOS ONE |
Selection and Validation of Reference Genes for Gene Expression Analysis in Vigna angularis Using Quantitative Real-Time RT-PCR
2016
PLoS ONE
Adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) is one of the most important legume crops in Asian countries like China, Japan and Korea due to its nutritious protein and starch contents. In spite of its economic importance, gene expression analysis system for gene function verification of adzuki bean is still absent. Therefore, reference genes for gene expression analysis based on the quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) were screened in current study. A total of nine general housekeeping genes, including ACT,

... box, ZMPP, GAPDH, EF, PP2A, UBC, UBN and PTB were evaluated for their expression stability by qRT-PCR in four adzuki bean cultivars, three different tissues, four abiotic stress and one biotic stress. The best group of candidates as reference genes were as follows: PTB and ACT for different cultivars; EF and UBN for different tissues; ACT and ZMPP for biotic stress and waterlogging stress; Fbox and UBC for salinity-alkalinity stress; Fbox and PTB for drought stress. Our results will provide a more accurate and reliable normalization of qRT-PCR data in adzuki bean.

Osteoprotegerin Disruption Attenuates HySu-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension Through Integrin α v β 3 /FAK/AKT Pathway SuppressionCLINICAL PERSPECTIVE
2017
Circulation: Cardiovascular Genetics
Background-Pulmonary arterial remodeling characterized by increased vascular smooth muscle proliferation is commonly seen in life-threatening disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Clinical studies have suggested a correlation between osteoprotegerin serum levels and PAH severity. Here, we aimed to invhestigate vascular osteoprotegerin expression and its effects on pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo, as well as examine the signal transduction

... ys mediating its activity. Methods and Results-Serum osteoprotegerin levels were significantly elevated in patients with PAH and correlated with disease severity as determined by the World Health Organization (WHO) functional classifications and 6-minute walking distance tests. Similarly, increased osteoprotegerin expression was observed in the pulmonary arteries of hypoxia plus SU5416-and monocrotaline-induced PAH animal models. Moreover, osteoprotegerin disruption attenuated hypoxia plus SU5416-induced PAH progression by reducing pulmonary vascular remodeling, whereas lentiviral osteoprotegerin reconstitution exacerbated PAH by increasing pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation. Furthermore, pathway analysis revealed that osteoprotegerin induced pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation by interacting with integrin α v β 3 to elicit downstream focal adhesion kinase and AKT pathway activation. Conclusions-Osteoprotegerin facilitates PAH pathogenesis by regulating pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation, suggesting that it may be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in this disease. Osteoprotegerin was initially identified as a secreted decoy receptor for receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand to regulate bone metabolism and cell survival, respectively. However, recent clinical and experimental data have also linked osteoprotegerin to a range of cardiovascular disorders, including pulmonary hypertension (PAH). Here, we found that serum osteoprotegerin levels were increased in patients with PAH and correlated with disease severity. Moreover, pulmonary arteries from hypoxia plus SU5416-and monocrotaline-induced PAH animal models also showed elevated osteoprotegerin expression. Notably, OPG −/− mice exhibited decreased pulmonary vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and mitigated the increased right ventricular systolic pressure and ventricular wall thickening observed in wild-type hypoxia plus SU5416-induced PAH controls. Lentiviral osteoprotegerin reconstitution enhanced pulmonary vascular remodeling characterized by pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation, medial wall thickening, and pulmonary artery muscularization. Pathway analysis revealed that these effects resulted from a direct interaction between osteoprotegerin and integrin α v β 3 , which subsequently triggered focal adhesion kinase/AKT pathway activation. Taken together, our data suggest that osteoprotegerin facilitates PAH pathogenesis and thus may be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in this disease.

Vitamin D Inhibits COX-2 Expression and Inflammatory Response by Targeting Thioesterase Superfamily Member 4
2014
Journal of Biological Chemistry
Vitamin D insufficiency has been associated with chronic inflammatory diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Results: Vitamin D inhibits COX-2-mediated inflammatory response by modulating the Akt/NF-B signaling pathway via direct up-regulation of thioesterase superfamily member 4. Conclusion: Vitamin D plays novel roles in anti-inflammation. Significance: Supplemental vitamin D could protect against chronic inflammatory diseases by targeting THEM4/Akt/NF-B signaling.

... uate vitamin D status has been linked to increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Inducible cyclooxygenase (COX) isoform COX-2 has been involved in the pathogenesis of such chronic inflammatory diseases. We found that the active form of vitamin D, 1,25(OH) 2 D produces dose-dependent inhibition of COX-2 expression in murine macrophages under both basal and LPS-stimulated conditions and suppresses proinflammatory mediators induced by LPS. Administration of 1,25(OH) 2 D significantly alleviated local inflammation in a carrageenan-induced paw edema mouse model. Strikingly, the phosphorylation of both Akt and its downstream target IB␣ in macrophages were markedly suppressed by 1,25(OH) 2 D in the presence and absence of LPS stimulation through up-regulation of THEM4 (thioesterase superfamily member 4), an Akt modulator protein. Knockdown of both vitamin D receptor and THEM4 attenuated the inhibitory effect of 1,25(OH) 2 D on COX-2 expression in macrophages. A functional vitamin D-responsive element in the THEM4 promoter was identified by chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assay. Our results indicate that vitamin D restrains macrophage-mediated inflammatory processes by suppressing the Akt/NF-B/COX-2 pathway, suggesting that vitamin D supplementation might be utilized for adjunctive therapy for inflammatory disease. 3 The abbreviations used are: 1,25(OH) 2 D, 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D; VDR, vitamin D receptor; VDRE, vitamin D-responsive element; COX, cyclooxygenase; PG, prostaglandin; THEM4, thioesterase superfamily member 4; NSAID, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug; KD, knockdown; FFA, free fatty acid.
