    Description: Mutations in the cytochrome P450 family 1, subfamily B, polypeptide 1 (CYP1B1) gene are a common cause of human primary congenital glaucoma (PCG). Here we show that Cyp1b1-/- mice have ocular drainage structure abnormalities resembling those reported in human PCG patients. Using Cyp1b1-/- mice, we identified the tyrosinase gene (Tyr) as a modifier of the drainage structure phenotype, with Tyr deficiency increasing the magnitude of dysgenesis. The severe dysgenesis in eyes lacking both CYP1B1 and TYR was alleviated by administration of the tyrosinase product dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-dopa). Tyr also modified the drainage structure dysgenesis in mice with a mutant Foxc1 gene, which is also involved in PCG. These experiments raise the possibility that a tyrosinase/l-dopa pathway modifies human PCG, which could open new therapeutic avenues.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Libby, Richard T -- Smith, Richard S -- Savinova, Olga V -- Zabaleta, Adriana -- Martin, Janice E -- Gonzalez, Frank J -- John, Simon W M -- CA34196/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Mar 7;299(5612):1578-81.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME 04609, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12624268" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Stimulation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) triggers activation of a common MyD88-dependent signaling pathway as well as a MyD88-independent pathway that is unique to TLR3 and TLR4 signaling pathways leading to interferon (IFN)-beta production. Here we disrupted the gene encoding a Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) domain-containing adaptor, TRIF. TRIF-deficient mice were defective in both TLR3- and TLR4-mediated expression of IFN-beta and activation of IRF-3. Furthermore, inflammatory cytokine production in response to the TLR4 ligand, but not to other TLR ligands, was severely impaired in TRIF-deficient macrophages. Mice deficient in both MyD88 and TRIF showed complete loss of nuclear factor kappa B activation in response to TLR4 stimulation. These findings demonstrate that TRIF is essential for TLR3- and TLR4-mediated signaling pathways facilitating mammalian antiviral host defense.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yamamoto, Masahiro -- Sato, Shintaro -- Hemmi, Hiroaki -- Hoshino, Katsuaki -- Kaisho, Tsuneyasu -- Sanjo, Hideki -- Takeuchi, Osamu -- Sugiyama, Masanaka -- Okabe, Masaru -- Takeda, Kiyoshi -- Akira, Shizuo -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Aug 1;301(5633):640-3.

    Description: Local circuits in the spinal cord that generate locomotion are termed central pattern generators (CPGs). These provide coordinated bilateral control over the normal limb alternation that underlies walking. The molecules that organize the mammalian CPG are unknown. Isolated spinal cords from mice lacking either the EphA4 receptor or its ligand ephrinB3 have lost left-right limb alternation and instead exhibit synchrony. We identified EphA4-positive neurons as an excitatory component of the locomotor CPG. Our study shows that dramatic locomotor changes can occur as a consequence of local genetic rewiring and identifies genes required for the development of normal locomotor behavior.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kullander, Klas -- Butt, Simon J B -- Lebret, James M -- Lundfald, Line -- Restrepo, Carlos E -- Rydstrom, Anna -- Klein, Rudiger -- Kiehn, Ole -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Mar 21;299(5614):1889-92.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medical Biochemistry, Gothenburg University, Medicinaregatan 9 A, 405 30 Gothenburg, Sweden. klas.kullander@medkem.gu.se〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12649481" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Abnormally high spiking activity can damage neurons. Signaling systems to protect neurons from the consequences of abnormal discharge activity have been postulated. We generated conditional mutant mice that lack expression of the cannabinoid receptor type 1 in principal forebrain neurons but not in adjacent inhibitory interneurons. In mutant mice,the excitotoxin kainic acid (KA) induced excessive seizures in vivo. The threshold to KA-induced neuronal excitation in vitro was severely reduced in hippocampal pyramidal neurons of mutants. KA administration rapidly raised hippocampal levels of anandamide and induced protective mechanisms in wild-type principal hippocampal neurons. These protective mechanisms could not be triggered in mutant mice. The endogenous cannabinoid system thus provides on-demand protection against acute excitotoxicity in central nervous system neurons.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Marsicano, Giovanni -- Goodenough, Sharon -- Monory, Krisztina -- Hermann, Heike -- Eder, Matthias -- Cannich, Astrid -- Azad, Shahnaz C -- Cascio, Maria Grazia -- Gutierrez, Silvia Ortega -- van der Stelt, Mario -- Lopez-Rodriguez, Maria Luz -- Casanova, Emilio -- Schutz, Gunther -- Zieglgansberger, Walter -- Di Marzo, Vincenzo -- Behl, Christian -- Lutz, Beat -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Oct 3;302(5642):84-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Molecular Genetics of Behaviour, Max-Planck-Institute of Psychiatry, Kraepelinstrabetae 2-10, 80804 Munich, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14526074" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The amygdalohippocampal circuit plays a pivotal role in Pavlovian fear memory. We simultaneously recorded electrical activity in the lateral amygdala (LA) and the CA1 area of the hippocampus in freely behaving fear-conditioned mice. Patterns of activity were related to fear behavior evoked by conditioned and indifferent sensory stimuli and contexts. Rhythmically synchronized activity at theta frequencies increased between the LA and the CA1 after fear conditioning and became significant during confrontation with conditioned fear stimuli and expression of freezing behavior. Synchronization of theta activities in the amygdalohippocampal network represents a neuronal correlate of conditioned fear, apt to improve neuronal communication during memory retrieval.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Seidenbecher, Thomas -- Laxmi, T Rao -- Stork, Oliver -- Pape, Hans-Christian -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Aug 8;301(5634):846-50.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institut fur Physiologie, Otto-von-Guericke-Universitat, Leipziger Strasse 44, Magdeburg D-39120, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12907806" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
