Cui LJ, Chen WH, Liu AL, Han X, Jiang SX, Yuan F, Zhong YM, Yang XL, Weng SJ (2020) nGnG amacrine cells and Brn3b-negative M1 ipRGCs are specifically labeled in the ChAT-ChR2-EYFP mouse. Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 61(2):14. doi: 10.1167/iovs.61.2.14 PMID: 32049344

Summary: The authors speculated that type II cells might be ipRGCs. This was later verified by the strong immunostaining of type II cells in response to the melanopsin antibody UF006 (100%, 141 of 141 cells collected from 5 retinas, Figs. 6B1–B3), which probes multiple ipRGC subtypes.

Objective: To learn more about the role of Wnt signaling in vaginal epithelium (VE) homeostasis.

Summary: Data define heterogeneity in VE and identify VE stem cells. It was shown that canonical Wnt/b-catenin signaling is required for the proliferation and differentiation of VE stem cells.

Usage: histology and immunostaining (1:250)

Landrigan J, Dwyer Z, Beauchamp S, Rodriguez R, Fortin T, Hayley S (2020) Quantum dot conjugated saporin activates microglia and induces selective substantia nigra degeneration. NeuroToxicology 76:153-161. doi: 10.1016/j.neuro.2019.11.007 PMID: 31738977

Objective: To assess the impact of Quantum Dots (QDs) alone and QDs conjugated to Saporin, on substantia nigra microglia and dopamine neurons.

Summary: QDs might be a viable route for toxicant delivery and also have an added advantage of being fluorescently visible. Ultimately, we found SNc neurons to be exceptionally vulnerable to QD-saporin and suggest that this could be a novel targeted approach to model Parkinson’s Disease-like inflammatory pathology.

Usage: Biotin-labeled saporin chicken polyclonal was mixed with QDs coated with streptavidin. 2  μl of QDs (1 μM) were mixed with 2  μL of biotinylated saporin (56 μM) and 76  μL of phosphate buffer solution was added.

Objective: To investigate the effect of binge-like methamphetamine (MA) dosing on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and its receptors, trkB and p75NTR.

Summary: The binge-like regimen of MA affects expression of BDNF and its receptors, particularly the trkB receptor, in a time and region dependent manner, and highlights the importance of the frontal cortex and the striatum in the response following MA binge-like dosing.

Objective: To investigate whether there is a molecular mechanism underlying the regulation of LTBP1-TGF-b signaling by the BH4-biosynthesis pathway.

Summary: GTP cyclohydrolase I (GTPCH), 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase (PTPS), and sepiapterin reductase (SR) are sequentially responsible for de novo synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), a known cofactor for nitric oxide synthase (NOS). PTPS metabolic activity is required for colorectal tumor cell growth under hypoxia.

Objective: To determine the effect of chronic pretreatment with apelin, losartan and their combination on ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in the isolated perfused rat heart and on the expression of apelin-13 receptor (APJ) and angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) in the myocardium.

Summary: Chronic pretreatment with apelin along with AT1R antagonist had more protective effects against IR injury.
