    Rapid regulation of depression-related behaviours by control of midbrain dopamine neurons (2012)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-12-14
    Description: Ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine neurons in the brain's reward circuit have a crucial role in mediating stress responses, including determining susceptibility versus resilience to social-stress-induced behavioural abnormalities. VTA dopamine neurons show two in vivo patterns of firing: low frequency tonic firing and high frequency phasic firing. Phasic firing of the neurons, which is well known to encode reward signals, is upregulated by repeated social-defeat stress, a highly validated mouse model of depression. Surprisingly, this pathophysiological effect is seen in susceptible mice only, with no apparent change in firing rate in resilient individuals. However, direct evidence--in real time--linking dopamine neuron phasic firing in promoting the susceptible (depression-like) phenotype is lacking. Here we took advantage of the temporal precision and cell-type and projection-pathway specificity of optogenetics to show that enhanced phasic firing of these neurons mediates susceptibility to social-defeat stress in freely behaving mice. We show that optogenetic induction of phasic, but not tonic, firing in VTA dopamine neurons of mice undergoing a subthreshold social-defeat paradigm rapidly induced a susceptible phenotype as measured by social avoidance and decreased sucrose preference. Optogenetic phasic stimulation of these neurons also quickly induced a susceptible phenotype in previously resilient mice that had been subjected to repeated social-defeat stress. Furthermore, we show differences in projection-pathway specificity in promoting stress susceptibility: phasic activation of VTA neurons projecting to the nucleus accumbens (NAc), but not to the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), induced susceptibility to social-defeat stress. Conversely, optogenetic inhibition of the VTA-NAc projection induced resilience, whereas inhibition of the VTA-mPFC projection promoted susceptibility. Overall, these studies reveal novel firing-pattern- and neural-circuit-specific mechanisms of depression.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3554860/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3554860/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chaudhury, Dipesh -- Walsh, Jessica J -- Friedman, Allyson K -- Juarez, Barbara -- Ku, Stacy M -- Koo, Ja Wook -- Ferguson, Deveroux -- Tsai, Hsing-Chen -- Pomeranz, Lisa -- Christoffel, Daniel J -- Nectow, Alexander R -- Ekstrand, Mats -- Domingos, Ana -- Mazei-Robison, Michelle S -- Mouzon, Ezekiell -- Lobo, Mary Kay -- Neve, Rachael L -- Friedman, Jeffrey M -- Russo, Scott J -- Deisseroth, Karl -- Nestler, Eric J -- Han, Ming-Hu -- F31 MH095425/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- F32 MH096464/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- K99 MH094405/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH092306/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R25 GM064118/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- T32 MH020016/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- T32 MH087004/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- T32 MH096678/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 Jan 24;493(7433):532-6. doi: 10.1038/nature11713.

    Tetanus toxoid and CCL3 improve dendritic cell vaccines in mice and glioblastoma patients (2015)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-03-13
    Description: After stimulation, dendritic cells (DCs) mature and migrate to draining lymph nodes to induce immune responses. As such, autologous DCs generated ex vivo have been pulsed with tumour antigens and injected back into patients as immunotherapy. While DC vaccines have shown limited promise in the treatment of patients with advanced cancers including glioblastoma, the factors dictating DC vaccine efficacy remain poorly understood. Here we show that pre-conditioning the vaccine site with a potent recall antigen such as tetanus/diphtheria (Td) toxoid can significantly improve the lymph node homing and efficacy of tumour-antigen-specific DCs. To assess the effect of vaccine site pre-conditioning in humans, we randomized patients with glioblastoma to pre-conditioning with either mature DCs or Td unilaterally before bilateral vaccination with DCs pulsed with Cytomegalovirus phosphoprotein 65 (pp65) RNA. We and other laboratories have shown that pp65 is expressed in more than 90% of glioblastoma specimens but not in surrounding normal brain, providing an unparalleled opportunity to subvert this viral protein as a tumour-specific target. Patients given Td had enhanced DC migration bilaterally and significantly improved survival. In mice, Td pre-conditioning also enhanced bilateral DC migration and suppressed tumour growth in a manner dependent on the chemokine CCL3. Our clinical studies and corroborating investigations in mice suggest that pre-conditioning with a potent recall antigen may represent a viable strategy to improve anti-tumour immunotherapy.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4510871/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4510871/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mitchell, Duane A -- Batich, Kristen A -- Gunn, Michael D -- Huang, Min-Nung -- Sanchez-Perez, Luis -- Nair, Smita K -- Congdon, Kendra L -- Reap, Elizabeth A -- Archer, Gary E -- Desjardins, Annick -- Friedman, Allan H -- Friedman, Henry S -- Herndon, James E 2nd -- Coan, April -- McLendon, Roger E -- Reardon, David A -- Vredenburgh, James J -- Bigner, Darell D -- Sampson, John H -- 1UL2 RR024128-01/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA154291/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01-CA154291-01A1/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P50 CA108786/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P50 NS020023/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P50-CA108786/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P50-NS20023/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA134844/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA177476/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS067037/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01-CA134844/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01-CA177476-01/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01-NS067037/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- T32 AI052077/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM007171/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2015 Mar 19;519(7543):366-9. doi: 10.1038/nature14320.

    Optical imaging of a tactile illusion in area 3b of the primary somatosensory cortex (2003)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2003-09-23
    Description: In the tactile funneling illusion, the simultaneous presentation of brief stimuli at multiple points on the skin produces a single focal sensation at the center of the stimulus pattern even when no physical stimulus occurs at that site. Consistent with the funneling percept, we show with optical imaging in area 3b of the primary somatosensory cortex (SI) that simultaneous stimulation of two fingertips produces a single focal cortical activation between the single fingertip activation regions. Thus, in contrast to traditional views of the body map, topographic representation in the SI reflects the perceived rather than the physical location of peripheral stimulation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, Li M -- Friedman, Robert M -- Roe, Anna W -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Oct 31;302(5646):881-5.

    Learning-induced LTP in neocortex (2000)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2000-10-20
    Description: The hypothesis that learning occurs through long-term potentiation (LTP)- and long-term depression (LTD)-like mechanisms is widely held but unproven. This hypothesis makes three assumptions: Synapses are modifiable, they modify with learning, and they strengthen through an LTP-like mechanism. We previously established the ability for synaptic modification and a synaptic strengthening with motor skill learning in horizontal connections of the rat motor cortex (MI). Here we investigated whether learning strengthened these connections through LTP. We demonstrated that synapses in the trained MI were near the ceiling of their modification range, compared with the untrained MI, but the range of synaptic modification was not affected by learning. In the trained MI, LTP was markedly reduced and LTD was enhanced. These results are consistent with the use of LTP to strengthen synapses during learning.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rioult-Pedotti, M S -- Friedman, D -- Donoghue, J P -- NS27164/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Oct 20;290(5491):533-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neuroscience, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, USA. mengia_rioult@brown.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11039938" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Endothelial apoptosis as the primary lesion initiating intestinal radiation damage in mice (2001)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2001-07-14
    Description: Gastrointestinal (GI) tract damage by chemotherapy or radiation limits their efficacy in cancer treatment. Radiation has been postulated to target epithelial stem cells within the crypts of Lieberkuhn to initiate the lethal GI syndrome. Here, we show in mouse models that microvascular endothelial apoptosis is the primary lesion leading to stem cell dysfunction. Radiation-induced crypt damage, organ failure, and death from the GI syndrome were prevented when endothelial apoptosis was inhibited pharmacologically by intravenous basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) or genetically by deletion of the acid sphingomyelinase gene. Endothelial, but not crypt, cells express FGF receptor transcripts, suggesting that the endothelial lesion occurs before crypt stem cell damage in the evolution of the GI syndrome. This study provides a basis for new approaches to prevent radiation damage to the bowel.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Paris, F -- Fuks, Z -- Kang, A -- Capodieci, P -- Juan, G -- Ehleiter, D -- Haimovitz-Friedman, A -- Cordon-Cardo, C -- Kolesnick, R -- CA52462/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA85704/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Jul 13;293(5528):293-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Signal Transduction and, Department of Radiation Oncology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, 1275 York Avenue, New York, NY 10021, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11452123" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Virus-assisted mapping of neural inputs to a feeding center in the hypothalamus (2001)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2001-04-03
    Description: We report the development of a pseudorabies virus that can be used for retrograde tracing from selected neurons. This virus encodes a green fluorescent protein marker and replicates only in neurons that express the Cre recombinase and in neurons in synaptic contact with the originally infected cells. The virus was injected into the arcuate nucleus of mice that express Cre only in those neurons that express neuropeptide Y or the leptin receptor. Sectioning of the brains revealed that these neurons receive inputs from neurons in other regions of the hypothalamus, as well as the amygdala, cortex, and other brain regions. These data suggest that higher cortical centers modulate leptin signaling in the hypothalamus. This method of neural tracing may prove useful in studies of other complex neural circuits.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉DeFalco, J -- Tomishima, M -- Liu, H -- Zhao, C -- Cai, X -- Marth, J D -- Enquist, L -- Friedman, J M -- DK48247/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01133506/PHS HHS/ -- R01DK41096/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Mar 30;291(5513):2608-13.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, The Rockefeller University, New York, NY 10021, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11283374" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Alternative splicing and neuritic mRNA translocation under long-term neuronal hypersensitivity (2002)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2002-01-19
    Description: To explore neuronal mechanisms underlying long-term consequences of stress, we studied stress-induced changes in the neuritic translocation of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) splice variants. Under normal conditions, we found the synaptic AChE-S mRNA and protein in neurites. Corticosterone, anticholinesterases, and forced swim, each facilitated a rapid (minutes), yet long-lasting (weeks), shift from AChE-S to the normally rare AChE-R mRNA, promoted AChE-R mRNA translocation into neurites, and induced enzyme secretion. Weeks after stress, electrophysiological measurements in hippocampus slices displayed apparently normal evoked synaptic responses but extreme hypersensitivity to both anticholinesterases and atropine. Our findings suggest that neuronal hypersensitivity under stress involves neuritic replacement of AChE-S with AChE-R.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Meshorer, Eran -- Erb, Christina -- Gazit, Roi -- Pavlovsky, Lev -- Kaufer, Daniela -- Friedman, Alon -- Glick, David -- Ben-Arie, Nissim -- Soreq, Hermona -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Jan 18;295(5554):508-12.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biological Chemistry, The Institute of Life Sciences and The Eric Roland Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel 91904.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11799248" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Details
    Publication Date: 1998-02-21
    Description: There are several forms of hereditary human hair loss, known collectively as alopecias, the molecular bases of which are entirely unknown. A kindred with a rare, recessively inherited type of alopecia universalis was used to search for a locus by homozygosity mapping, and linkage was established in a 6-centimorgan interval on chromosome 8p12 (the logarithm of the odds favoring linkage score was 6.19). The human homolog of a murine gene, hairless, was localized in this interval by radiation hybrid mapping, and a missense mutation was found in affected individuals. Human hairless encodes a putative single zinc finger transcription factor protein with restricted expression in the brain and skin.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ahmad, W -- Faiyaz ul Haque, M -- Brancolini, V -- Tsou, H C -- ul Haque, S -- Lam, H -- Aita, V M -- Owen, J -- deBlaquiere, M -- Frank, J -- Cserhalmi-Friedman, P B -- Leask, A -- McGrath, J A -- Peacocke, M -- Ahmad, M -- Ott, J -- Christiano, A M -- HG-00008/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- P30AR44535/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1998 Jan 30;279(5351):720-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Dermatology, Columbia University, 630 West 168 Street, VC-15-526, New York, NY 10032, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9445480" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    KLF6, a candidate tumor suppressor gene mutated in prostate cancer (2001)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2001-12-26
    Description: Kruppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) is a zinc finger transcription factor of unknown function. Here, we show that the KLF6 gene is mutated in a subset of human prostate cancer. Loss-of-heterozygosity analysis revealed that one KLF6 allele is deleted in 77% (17 of 22) of primary prostate tumors. Sequence analysis of the retained KLF6 allele revealed mutations in 71% of these tumors. Functional studies confirm that whereas wild-type KLF6 up-regulates p21 (WAF1/CIP1) in a p53-independent manner and significantly reduces cell proliferation, tumor-derived KLF6 mutants do not. Our data suggest that KLF6 is a tumor suppressor gene involved in human prostate cancer.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Narla, G -- Heath, K E -- Reeves, H L -- Li, D -- Giono, L E -- Kimmelman, A C -- Glucksman, M J -- Narla, J -- Eng, F J -- Chan, A M -- Ferrari, A C -- Martignetti, J A -- Friedman, S L -- 5 P30 HD28822/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- CA78207/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA79918/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- DK37340/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Dec 21;294(5551):2563-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Liver Diseases, Department of Medicine, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, 1425 Madison Avenue, Room 1170F, Box 1123, New York, NY, 10029, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11752579" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
