  • Distribution of short neuropeptide F and its receptor in neuronal circuits related to feeding in larval Drosophila
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Cell and Tissue Research. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0302-766X .- 1432-0878. ; 353:3, s. 511-523

    • Four forms of short neuropeptide F (sNPF1-4), derived from the gene snpf, have been identified in Drosophila and are known to act on a single G-protein-coupled receptor (sNPFR). Several functions have been suggested for sNPFs in Drosophila, including the regulation of feeding and growth in larvae, the control of insulin signalling and the modulation of neuronal circuits in adult flies. Furthermore, sNPF has been shown to act as a nutritional state-dependent neuromodulator in the olfactory system. The role of sNPF in the larval nervous system is less well known. To analyse sites of action of sNPF in the larva, we mapped the distribution of sNPF- and sNPFR-expressing neurons. In particular, we studied circuits associated with chemosensory inputs and systems involved in the regulation of feeding, including neurosecretory cell systems and the hypocerebral ganglion. We employed a combination of immunocytochemistry and enhancer trap and promoter Gal4 lines to drive green fluorescent protein. We found a good match between the distribution of the receptor and its ligand. However, several differences between the larval and adult systems were observed. Thus, neither sNPF nor its receptor was found in the olfactory (or other sensory) systems in the larva and cells producing insulin-like peptides did not co-express sNPFR, as opposed to results from adults. Moreover, sNPF was expressed in a subpopulation of Hugin cells (second-order gustatory neurons) only in adult flies. We propose that the differences in sNPF signalling between the developmental stages is explained by differences in their feeding behaviour.

  • Glial cells revealed by GFAP immunoreactivity in fish gut.
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Cell and tissue research. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1432-0878 .- 0302-766X. ; 341:1, s. 73-81

    • Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a commonly used marker to identify enteric glia in the mammalian gut. Little is however known about enteric glia in other vertebrates. The aim of the present study was to examine the distribution of GFAP immunoreactivity in adult and developing fish. In adult shorthorn sculpin (Myoxocephalus scorpius) and zebrafish (Danio rerio), GFAP immunoreactivity was seen in the myenteric plexus in all regions of the gut. Co-staining for the neuronal markers Hu C/D and acetylated tubulin showed that GFAP immunoreactivity was not associated with nerves. GFAP immunoreactivity was predominantly seen in processes with few glial cell bodies being demonstrated in adult fish. GFAP immunoreactivity was also found in the gut in larval zebrafish from 3 days post-fertilisation, i.e. at approximately the same time that differentiated enteric nerve cells first occur. Immunoreactivity was most prominent in areas with no or a low density of Hu-immunoreactive nerve cell bodies, indicating that the developing glia follows a different pattern from that of enteric neurons. The results suggest that GFAP can be used as a marker for enteric glia in fish, as in birds and mammals. The distribution of GFAP immunoreactivity implies that enteric glia are widespread in the fish gastrointestinal tract. Glia and neurons diverge early during development of the gastrointestinal tract.

  • Mitochondrial lipids in neurodegeneration
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Cell and Tissue Research. - : Springer. - 0302-766X .- 1432-0878. ; 367:1, s. 125-140

    • Mitochondrial dysfunction is a common feature of many neurodegenerative diseases, including proteinopathies such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease, which are characterized by the deposition of aggregated proteins in the form of insoluble fibrils or plaques. The distinct molecular processes that eventually result in mitochondrial dysfunction during neurodegeneration are well studied but still not fully understood. However, defects in mitochondrial fission and fusion, mitophagy, oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial bioenergetics have been linked to cellular demise. These processes are influenced by the lipid environment within mitochondrial membranes as, besides membrane structure and curvature, recruitment and activity of different proteins also largely depend on the respective lipid composition. Hence, the interaction of neurotoxic proteins with certain lipids and the modification of lipid composition in different cell compartments, in particular mitochondria, decisively impact cell death associated with neurodegeneration. Here, we discuss the relevance of mitochondrial lipids in the pathological alterations that result in neuronal demise, focussing on proteinopathies.

  • Distribution of neuropeptides in the antennal lobes of male Spodoptera littoralis
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Cell and Tissue Research. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0302-766X .- 1432-0878. ; 354, s. 431-440
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Olfaction is an important sensory modality that regulates a plethora of behavioural expressions in insects. Processing of olfactory information takes place in the primary olfactory centres of the brain, namely the antennal lobes (ALs). Neuropeptides have been shown to be present in the olfactory system of various insect species. In the present study, we analyse the distribution of tachykinin, FMRFamide-related peptides, allatotropin, allatostatin, myoinhibitory peptides and SIFamide in the AL of the male Egyptian cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis. Immunocytochemical analyses revealed that most neuropeptides were expressed in different subpopulations of AL neurons. Their arborisation patterns within the AL suggest a significant role of neuropeptide signalling in the modulation of AL processing. In addition to local interneurons, our analysis also revealed a diversity of extrinsic peptidergic neurons that connected the antennal lobe with other brain centres. Their distributions suggest that extrinsic neurons perform various types of context-related modulation.

  • Tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity is common in the enteric nervous system in teleosts
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Cell and Tissue Research. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0302-766X .- 1432-0878. ; 364:2, s. 231-243

    • Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of catecholamines and TH immunoreactivity is indicative of cells synthesising either adrenaline/noradrenaline or dopamine. In this study, the distribution of TH immunoreactivity was examined in two distantly related teleost species, zebrafish (Danio rerio) and shorthorn sculpin (Myoxocephalus scorpius). In both species, TH-immunoreactive nerve cell bodies and varicose nerve fibres were common in the myenteric plexus of the intestine. However, no TH-immunoreactive nerve cell bodies were seen in the sculpin stomach. The TH-immunoreactive nerve cell bodies seemed to constitute a larger proportion of the total enteric population in shorthorn sculpin (50±5 %, n=3067 cells) compared with zebrafish (14±2 %, n=10,163 cells). In contrast, in sculpin, the TH-immunoreactive cells were smaller than the average enteric nerve cell bodies, whereas in zebrafish, the relationship was the opposite. In developing zebrafish larvae, TH-immunoreactive nerve cell bodies were common (approx. 75 % of the total population) at 3 days post-fertilization (dpf), but decreased in numbers between 3 and 7 dpf. In conclusion, in contrast to previous studies, TH-immunoreactive intrinsic neurons are common in the fish gut. Their role and function need to be further characterized in order to understand the potential importance of this enteric subpopulation in controlling various gut functions.

  • Effect of centrifugal force on the development of articular neocartilage with bovine primary chondrocytes
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: Cell and Tissue Research. - New York : Springer. - 0302-766X .- 1432-0878. ; 375:3, s. 629-639

    • A lot has been invested into understanding how to assemble cartilage tissue in vitro and various designs have been developed to manufacture cartilage tissue with native-like biological properties. So far, no satisfactory design has been presented. Bovine primary chondrocytes are used to self-assemble scaffold-free constructs to investigate whether mechanical loading by centrifugal force would be useful in manufacturing cartilage tissue in vitro. Six million chondrocytes were laid on top of defatted bone disks placed inside an agarose well in 50-ml culture tubes. The constructs were centrifuged once or three times per day for 15 min at a centrifugal force of 771×g for up to 4 weeks. Control samples were cultured under the same conditions without exposure to centrifugation. The samples were analysed by (immuno)histochemistry, Fourier transform infrared imaging, micro-computed tomography, biochemical and gene expression analyses. Biomechanical testing was also performed. The centrifuged tissues had a more even surface covering a larger area of the bone disk. Fourier transform infrared imaging analysis indicated a higher concentration of collagen in the top and bottom edges in some of the centrifuged samples. Glycosaminoglycan contents increased along the culture, while collagen content remained at a rather constant level. Aggrecan and procollagen α1(II) gene expression levels had no significant differences, while procollagen α2(I) levels were increased significantly. Biomechanical analyses did not reveal remarkable changes. The centrifugation regimes lead to more uniform tissue constructs, whereas improved biological properties of the native tissue could not be obtained by centrifugation.

  • Common general morphological pattern of peptidergic neurons in the arachnid brain : crustacean cardioactive peptide-immunoreactive neurons in the protocerebrum of seven arachnid species.
  • 1995
  • Ingår i: Cell and Tissue Research. - 0302-766X .- 1432-0878. ; 279:1, s. 183-197
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A polyclonal antiserum raised against crustacean cardioactive peptide labels 14 clusters of immunoreactive neurons in the protocerebrum of the spiders Tegenaria atrica and Nephila clavipes, and the harvestman (opilionid) Rilaena triangularis. In all species, these clusters possess the same number of neurons, and share similar structural and topological characteristics. Two sets of bilateral symmetrical neurons associated with the optic lobes and the arachnid "central body" were analysed in detail, comparing the harvestman R. triangularis and the spiders Brachypelma albopilosa (Theraphosidae), Cupiennius salei (Lycosidae), Tegenaria atrica (Agelenidae), Meta segmentata (Metidae) and Nephila clavipes (Araneidae). Sixteen neurons have been identified that display markedly similar axonal pathways and arborization patterns in all species. These neurons are considered homologues in the opilionid and the araneid brains. We presume that these putative phylogenetically persisting neurons represent part of the general morphological pattern of the arachnid brain.

  • Fine structure of the neurohemal sinus gland of the shore crab, Carcinus maenas, and immuno-electron-microscopic identification of neurosecretory endings according to their neuropeptide contents
  • 1992
  • Ingår i: Cell and Tissue Research. - 0302-766X .- 1432-0878. ; 269:2, s. 249-266
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The sinus gland of the shore crab, Carcinus maenas, is a compact assembly of interdigitating neurosecretory axon endings abutting upon the thin basal lamina of a central hemolymph lacuna. Four types of axon endings are distinguishable by the size distribution, shape, electron density and core structure of their neurosecretory granules. One additional type of axon ending is characterized by electron-lucent vacuoles and vesicles. The axon profiles are surrounded by astrocyte-like glial cells. Various fixations followed by epoxy- or Lowicryl-embedding were compared in order to optimize the preservation of the fine structure of the granule types and the antigenicity of their peptide hormone contents. By use of specific rabbit antisera, the crustacean hyperglycemic, molt-inhibiting, pigment-dispersing, and red-pigment-concentrating hormones were assigned to the four distinct granule types which showed no overlap of immunostaining. Epi-polarization microscopy and ultrathin section analysis of immunogold-stained Lowicryl-embedded specimens revealed that immunoreactivity to Leu-enkephalin and proctolin is co-localized with molt-inhibiting hormone immunoreactivity in the same type of granule. The size and core structure of the immunocytochemically identified granule types vary little with the different pretreatments but, in some cases, to a statistically significant extent. The present results are compared with those from earlier studies of sinus glands in different crustaceans. The methods of granule identification used in this study supplement the classical approach in granule typing; they are easier to perform and more reliable for the analysis of release phenomena in identified secretory neurons supplying the neurohemal sinus gland.

  • Immunocytochemical localization of CCAP, a novel crustacean cardioactive peptide, in the nervous system of the shore crab, Carcinus maenas L.
  • 1988
  • Ingår i: Cell and Tissue Research. - 0302-766X .- 1432-0878. ; 254:2, s. 347-360

    • Polyclonal antibodies were raised in rabbits against synthetic crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) conjugated to bovine thyroglobulin, and were used to map CCAP-immunoreactive structures in the central nervous system of Carcinus maenas. As expected, the neurohemal pericardial organs (PO) displayed abundant immunoreactivity in nerve fibers and terminals. In addition, immunoreactive neurons were demonstrated in other parts of the nervous system. At least some of them do not appear to terminate in neurohemal structures and may have a non-endocrine, as yet unknown function. Immunoreactive perikarya with a diameter of 25–30 m occur in the brain. They project into the optic and antennary neuropil, and into the eyestalk. One cell was found in the medulla terminalis of the eyestalk and in the connective ganglion, respectively. From the latter, axonal branches could be traced into the brain and the thoracic ganglia (TG). In the TG, small-diameter perikarya give rise to extensive networks of varicose fibers. Some of the perikarya occur in a characteristic paired arrangement with larger CCAP-immunoreactive somata (diameter 40–50 m). These pairs of one small and one large cell occur in all mouthpart and leg segments of the TG, except the abdominal ganglia (AG), where only large cells were found. The main projections of the large neurons comprise one or more fibers in each of the seven segmental nerves (SN), leading to neurosecretory terminals in the PO. The fibers in the SN are joined by branches of an ascending axonal tract from the large perikarya in the AG. The large-type perikarya are considered to be the principal source of CCAP in the PO. The optic ganglia in the eyestalk, except the medulla terminalis, the neurohemal sinus gland and the stomatogastric nervous system are devoid of CCAP-immunoreactivity.In axon terminals of the PO, CCAP is not colocalized with other PO-neuropeptides, i.e. proctolin-, FMRFamide-like, and Leu-enkephalin-like immunoreactive materials. Electron-microscopic immunocytochemistry revealed a distinct CCAP-containing granule type in specific axon profiles and terminals in the PO.The architecture of CCAP-immunoreactive neurons is discussed with respect to previous morphological studies on the origin and pathways of fibers terminating in the PO.

  • The ultrastructure of nerve endings containing pigment-dispersing hormone (PDH) in crustacean sinus glands: Identification by an antiserum against a synthetic PDH
  • 1987
  • Ingår i: Cell and Tissue Research. - : Springer. - 0302-766X .- 1432-0878. ; 250:2, s. 377-387
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A high-liter antiserum has been obtained from two rabbits immunized with a glutaraldehyde conjugate of synthetic pigment-dispersing hormone (PDH) from Uca pugilator and bovine thyroglobulin. The antiserum blocked melanophore-dispersing activity of the peptide in vivo. In sinus glands (SG) of Carcinus maenas, Cancer pagurus, Uca pugilator and Orconectes limosus, electron-microscopic immunocytochemistry revealed sparsely distributed axon endings containing a distinct PDH-immunoreactive type of neurosecretory granules (diameter 90–130 nm). Exocytotic figures indicating release of the content of these granules into hemolymph lacunae were occasionally observed. Preservation of fine structure and antigenicity of the PDH granules were markedly dependent on the fixation procedure used. A preliminary experiment with C. maenas showed that preterminal axon dilatations near the basal lamina seemed to accumulate PDH-granules when animals were kept in complete darkness for three days. Immunodot blotting of fractions after high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) of extracts from SGs of C. maenas and O. limosus revealed a strongly immunoreactive substance at a retention time very similar to those of synthetic PDHs of Uca pugilator and Pandalus borealis. It is also coincident with a zone of biological activity. Thus, the antigen demonstrated by immunocytochemistry is identical or very similar to one of the known PDHs.
