Abstract

The abundance of literature related to the widespread COVID-19 pandemic is beyond manual inspection of a single expert. Development of systems, capable of automatically processing tens of thousands of scientific publications with the aim to enrich existing empirical evidence with literature-based associations is challenging and relevant. We propose a system for contextualization of empirical expression data by approximating relations between entities, for which representations were learned from one of the largest COVID-19-related literature corpora. In order to exploit a larger scientific context by transfer learning, we propose a novel embedding generation technique that leverages SciBERT language model pretrained on a large multi-domain corpus of scientific publications and fine-tuned for domain adaptation on the CORD-19 dataset. The conducted manual evaluation by the medical expert and the quantitative evaluation based on therapy targets identified in the related work suggest that the proposed method can be successfully employed for COVID-19 therapy target discovery and that it outperforms the baseline FastText method by a large margin., Comment: Accepted to the 23rd International Conference on Discovery Science (DS 2020)

Abstract

Current research has shown that several imidazolium and chlorinated bispyridinium oximes are cytotoxic and activate different mechanisms or types of cell death. To investigate this further, we analysed interactions between these oximes and acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) and how they affect several signalling pathways to find a relation between the observed toxicities and their effects on these specific targets. Chlorinated bispyridinium oximes caused time-dependent cytotoxicity by inhibiting the phosphorylation of STAT3 and AMPK without decreasing ATP and activated ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK signal cascades. Imidazolium oximes induced a time-independent and significant decrease in ATP and inhibition of the ERK1/2 signalling pathway along with phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, AMPK, and ACC. These pathways are usually triggered by a change in cellular energy status or by external signals, which suggests that oximes interact with some membrane receptors. Interestingly, in silico analysis also indicated that the highest probability of interaction for all of our oximes is with the family of G-coupled membrane receptors (GPCR). Furthermore, our experimental results showed that the tested oximes acted as acetylcholine antagonists for membrane AChRs. Even though oxime interactions with membrane receptors need further research and clarification, our findings suggest that these oximes make promising candidates for the development of specific therapies not only in the field of cholinesterase research but in other fields too, such as anticancer therapy via altering the Ca2+ flux involved in cancer progression.

Abstract

Background and Objectives: Most patients who are successfully resuscitated from cardiac arrest remain comatose, and only half regain consciousness 72 h after the arrest. Neuroprognostication methods can be complex and even inconclusive. As mitochondrial components have been identified as markers of post-cardiac-arrest injury and associated with survival, we aimed to investigate cytochrome c and mtDNA in comatose patients after cardiac arrest to compare neurological outcomes and to evaluate the markers' neuroprognostic value. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study included 86 comatose post-cardiac-arrest patients and 10 healthy controls. Cytochrome c and mtDNA were determined at admission. Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) was measured after 72 h. Additional neuroprognostication methods were performed when patients remained unconscious. Cerebral performance category (CPC) was determined. Results: Cytochrome c was elevated in patients compared to healthy controls (2.029 [0.85–4.97] ng/mL vs. 0 [0.0–0.16], p < 0.001) but not mtDNA (95,228 [52,566–194,060] vs. 41,466 [28,199–104,708] copies/μL, p = 0.074). Compared to patients with CPC 1–2, patients with CPC 3–5 had higher cytochrome c (1.735 [0.717–3.40] vs. 4.109 [1.149–8.457] ng/mL, p = 0.011), with no differences in mtDNA (87,855 [47,598–172,464] vs. 126,452 [69,447–260,334] copies/μL, p = 0.208). Patients with CPC 1–2 and CPC 3–5 differed in all neuroprognostication methods. In patients with good vs. poor neurological outcome, ROC AUC was 0.664 (p = 0.011) for cytochrome c, 0.582 (p = 0.208) for mtDNA, and 0.860 (p < 0.001) for NSE. The correlation between NSE and cytochrome c was moderate, with a coefficient of 0.576 (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Cytochrome c was higher in comatose patients after cardiac arrest compared to healthy controls and higher in post-cardiac-arrest patients with poor neurological outcomes. Although cytochrome c correlated with NSE, its neuroprognostic value was poor. We found no differences in mtDNA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Lysophospholipase PNPLA7 is a member of the PNPLA (patatin-like phospholipase domain containing proteins) family of nine enzymes sharing a patatin-like catalytic domain. It has been shown that PNPLA7 is highly expressed in the insulin targeted tissues where it can be associated with endoplasmic reticulum and lipid droplets, however, its physiological and molecular roles are not described well. Crystal structure of PNPLA7 is not known, but according to the sequence analysis and homology modelling, it consists of a transmembrane segment near the N-terminal end, three cyclic nucleotide binding sites, and patatin domain where the active site with catalytic dyad Ser-Asp is located. As the first aim of this study, we investigated the physiological role of this enzyme in the cultured human skeletal muscle cells. Our study confirms that human skeletal muscle cells express PNPLA7 mRNA and protein and that it is regulated by metabolic signals, implicating a role for PNPLA7 in skeletal muscle energy metabolism. Gene silencing of PNPLA7 in myoblasts reduced the phosphorylation of S6RP and p70, activators of protein translation, as well as the abundance of α1-subunit of Na+, K+- ATPase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase, indirectly suggesting that PNPLA7 is functionally important for these cells. As for the second objective of this study, we have tried to express a truncated PNPLA7 enzyme using Escherichia coli as a host. Our results showed that the majority of this enzyme remains in the membrane fractions hence, we are currently working on the optimization of the expression and purification conditions, in order to get the PNPLA7 for possible kinetic characterization.

Kako bismo to detaljnije istražili, analizirali smo aktivaciju nekoliko signalnih putova, kao i interakcije acetilkolinskih receptora (AChR) s navedenim oksimima te procijenili može li se opaženi toksični učinak objasniti njihovim utjecajem na ove specifične mete. Rezultati su pokazali da su klorirani bispiridinijevi oksimi prouzročili vremenski-ovisnu citotoksičnost, bez smanjenja razine ATP-a uz aktivaciju ERK1/2 i p38 MAPK-vezanih signalnih kaskada i inhibiciju fosforilacije STAT3 i AMPK proteina. Imidazolijevi oksimi djelovali su vremenski neovisno, uz značajno smanjenje razine ATP-a i inhibiciju ERK1/2 signalnog puta te fosforilaciju p38 MAPK, AMPK i ACC proteina. Navedeni signalni putovi obično se aktiviraju ili promjenom unutarnjega staničnog statusa, osobito energetskoga, ili vanjskim signalima, što upućuje na moguće interakcije oksima s nekim membranskim receptorima. Zanimljivo, in silico analizom procijenjeno je da je najvjerojatnija interakcija testiranih oksima s porodicom G-protein-spregnutih membranskih receptora (GPCR). K tomu, eksperimentalno je potvrđeno da testirani oksimi djeluju kao mogući antagonisti acetilkolina za vezanje na membranske AChR, potvrđujući tako i računalnu in silico procjenu. Iako interakcije ispitanih oksima s membranskim receptorima treba dodatno potvrditi, takve bi ih interakcije učinile kandidatima za razvoj specifičnih terapija u drugim područjima istraživanja, osim u istraživanjima povezanima s kolinesterazama, npr. kao moguće protutumorske lijekove, putem utjecaja na fluks iona Ca2+ uključenoga u progresiju tumora.

Abstract

As the knowledge base and importance of mitochondrial physiology to human health expands, the necessity for harmonizing the terminology concerning mitochondrial respiratory states and rates has become increasingly apparent. The chemiosmotic theory establishes the mechanism of energy transformation and coupling in oxidative phosphorylation. The unifying concept of the protonmotive force provides the framework for developing a consistent theoretical foundation of mitochondrial physiology and bioenergetics. We follow guidelines of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) on terminology in physical chemistry, extended by considerations of open systems and thermodynamics of irreversible processes. The concept-driven constructive terminology incorporates the meaning of each quantity and aligns concepts and symbols with the nomenclature of classical bioenergetics. We endeavour to provide a balanced view of mitochondrial respiratory control and a critical discussion on reporting data of mitochondrial respiration in terms of metabolic flows and fluxes. Uniform standards for evaluation of respiratory states and rates will ultimately contribute to reproducibility between laboratories and thus support the development of databases of mitochondrial respiratory function in species, tissues, and cells. Clarity of concept and consistency of nomenclature facilitate effective transdisciplinary communication, education, and ultimately further discovery.

The objective of our study was to investigate neuropathy target esteraserelated enzyme (NRE; PNPLA7) expression and its functional characteristics in human muscle cells as a model organism for insulintargeted tissues. More specifically, our previous preliminary studies confirmed the presence of this unexplored enzyme in both myoblasts and myotubes and indicated a role for NRE in the energy metabolism. The human NRE enzyme is predicted to be around 146 kDa. Though the crystal structure of NRE has not yet been defined, gene sequence analysis and homology modelling predict the presence of Nterminal singlepass transmembrane domain, three cyclic nucleotide binding sites, possible glycosylation sites and Cterminal patatinlike catalytic domain. Furthermore, analysis also predicts the existence of several isomers some of which do not have a catalytic domain or in other words, possibly lack esterase/lipase functions. Sequence alignment reveals that NRE is conserved through rat, mice and human species. High NTE homology with more investigated enzyme NTE or PNPLA6 suggests that NRE might also be a target of organophosphorus compounds (OP) which implies NRE involvement in OP caused pathological conditions including poorly defined intermediatemyopathy syndrome. Therefore, by following changes in NRE mRNA, the protein and activity level in cells exposed to different stimuli mimicking real life conditions, we tried to define NRE’s physiological role and its potential to be used as a new therapeutic target in OP poisoning or in wider research. The enzyme was cloned, expressed and studied as the esterase in kinetic experiments in vitro following interactions with potential substrate and inhibitor. In this way, we also evaluated its enzymatic properties. Since little is known about this enzyme's physiological role and biological relevance, any findings would most certainly contribute to the understanding of the importance of NRE, which still calls for a detailed clarification.

Abstract

Small transmembrane proteins such as FXYDs, which interact with Na+,K+‐ATPase, and the micropeptides that interact with sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+‐ATPase play fundamental roles in regulation of ion transport in vertebrates.Uncertain evolutionary origins and phylogenetic relationships among these regulators of ion transport have led to inconsistencies in their classification across vertebrate species, thus hampering comparative studies of their functions.We discovered the first FXYD homologue in sea lamprey, a basal jawless vertebrate, which suggests small transmembrane regulators of ion transport emerged early in the vertebrate lineage.We also identified 13 gene subfamilies of FXYDs and propose a revised, phylogeny‐based FXYD classification that is consistent across vertebrate species.These findings provide an improved framework for investigating physiological and pathophysiological functions of small transmembrane regulators of ion transport.

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the in vivoeffect of a single intra-articular injection of local anesthetic (LA) lidocaine on the viability of articular cartilage in the intact or osteoarthritic (OA) human knees, and to measure the synovial postinjection concentration of lidocaine in the kneeDesign This study includes 3 interconnected experiments: (A) Synovial LA concentration measurement after a 2% lidocaine injection before knee arthroscopy in 10 patients by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). (B) Human osteochondral explants (N= 27) from intact knees procured at autopsies were incubated for different time intervals (30 minutes, 2 hours, 24 hours) with 2% lidocaine, 0.04% lidocaine (measured), or culture medium (control), and later evaluated for cell viability by LIVE/DEAD staining. (C) Ten out of 19 matched patients scheduled for knee replacement received a single intra-articular injection of 2% lidocaine approximately 30 minutes prior to the procedure; 9 patients served as control. Osteochondral samples with OA changes were harvested during surgery and analyzed for chondrocyte viability by LIVE/DEAD staining.Results (A) The synovial LA concentration was significantly lower than the primary concentration injected: average 0.23 mg/mL (0.02%), highest measured 0.37 mg/mL (0.04%). (B) In vitroexposure to a reduced LA concentration had no significant influence on chondrocyte viability in intact cartilage explants (24-hour averages: control, 93%; 0.04% lidocaine, 92%; 2% lidocaine, 79%). (C) Viability of chondrocytes in OA knees was similar between 2% lidocaine injection (85%) and control (80%).Conclusions A single intra-articular knee injection of 2% lidocaine did not influence the chondrocyte viability neither in healthy nor in OA cartilage. A fast postinjection reduction of synovial LA concentration (more than 40 times) is the most likely protective mechanism.

Abstract

Denervation reduces the abundance of Na+,K+-ATPase (NKA) in skeletal muscle, while reinnervation increases it. Primary human skeletal muscle cells, the most widely used model to study human skeletal muscle in vitro, are usually cultured as myoblasts or myotubes without neurons and typically do not contract spontaneously, which might affect their ability to express and regulate NKA. We determined how differentiation, de novo innervation, and electrical pulse stimulation affect expression of NKA (α and β) subunits and NKA regulators FXYD1 (phospholemman) and FXYD5 (dysadherin). Differentiation of myoblasts into myotubes under low serum conditions increased expression of myogenic markers CD56 (NCAM1), desmin, myosin heavy chains, dihydropyridine receptor subunit α1S, and SERCA2 as well as NKAα2 and FXYD1, while it decreased expression of FXYD5 mRNA. Myotubes, which were innervated de novo by motor neurons in co-culture with the embryonic rat spinal cord explants, started to contract spontaneously within 7–10 days. A short-term co-culture (10–11 days) promoted mRNA expression of myokines, such as IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, and IL-15, but did not affect mRNA expression of NKA, FXYDs, or myokines, such as musclin, cathepsin B, meteorin-like protein, or SPARC. A long-term co-culture (21 days) increased the protein abundance of NKAα1, NKAα2, FXYD1, and phospho-FXYD1Ser68 without attendant changes in mRNA levels. Suppression of neuromuscular transmission with α-bungarotoxin or tubocurarine for 24 h did not alter NKA or FXYD mRNA expression. Electrical pulse stimulation (48 h) of non-innervated myotubes promoted mRNA expression of NKAβ2, NKAβ3, FXYD1, and FXYD5. In conclusion, low serum concentration promotes NKAα2 and FXYD1 expression, while de novo innervation is not essential for upregulation of NKAα2 and FXYD1 mRNA in cultured myotubes. Finally, although innervation and EPS both stimulate contractions of myotubes, they exert distinct effects on the expression of NKA and FXYDs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

43. Patofiziologija skeletne mišice pri cerebralni paralizi: Pathophysiology of skeletal muscle in cerebral palsy

Abstract

Cerebral palsy is a clinical syndrome characterized primarily, but not exclusively, by movement and posture disorders, which arise due to injury to the developing brain. This injury directly and indirectly leads to contractures, which limit range of joint motion. Contractures develop due to functional and structural alterations affecting the stretch reflex and skeletal muscle. In the early stages of spastic cerebral palsy joint motion is limited mainly due to increased muscle tone, which is caused by overactivity of the stretch reflex. Later on, structural alterations in skeletal muscle lead to fixed contractures, which are characterized by shorter muscle fibers and hypertrophy of the extracellular matrix. Mechanisms by which injury to the developing brain leads to structural alterations in skeletal muscle are obscure. Interestingly, recent findings suggest that the number of muscle satellite cells is reduced in cerebral palsy, which may directly contribute to development of contractures. This mechanism, if confirmed, might lead to novel therapeutic approaches for contractures in cerebral palsy.

So far, superparamagnetic iron oxide NPs (SPIONs) are the only clinically approved type of metal oxide NPs, but cobalt ferrite NPs have properties suitable for biomedical applications as well. In this study, we analyzed the cellular responses to magnetic cobalt ferrite NPs coated with polyacrylic acid (PAA) in three cell types: Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO), mouse melanoma (B16) cell line, and primary human myoblasts (MYO). We compared the internalization pathway, intracellular trafficking, and intracellular fate of our NPs using fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as well as quantified NP uptake and analyzed uptake dynamics. We determined cell viability after 24 or 96 hours’ exposure to increasing concentrations of NPs, and quantified the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon 24 and 48 hours’ exposure. Our NPs have been shown to readily enter and accumulate in cells in high quantities using the same two endocytic pathways; mostly by macropinocytosis and partially by clathrin-mediated endocytosis. The cell types differed in their uptake rate, the dynamics of intracellular trafficking, and the uptake capacity, as well as in their response to higher concentrations of internalized NPs. The observed differences in cell responses stress the importance of evaluation of NP–cell interactions on several different

Abstract

Neurotrophins are a subgroup of growth factors acting within the nervous system. They are small proteins forming a family of several members. Among these, NT-3 is the most abundantly distributed within the developing and mature nervous system. NT-3 significantly contributes to the formation and maintenance of the nervous system and may be involved in various neurological diseases. In the future, it may also become a therapeutic agent for their treatment, therefore the mechanisms of its action are intensely investigated. The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of NT-3 on the ability of motor neurons to form functional neuromuscular junctions. An in vitro experimental model in which neurons extenaing from rat spinal cord explants form functional neuromuscular junctions onto human myotubes has been employed for this purpose. The effects of NT-3 were quantitatively determined by 1) counting neuronal outgrowths from the spinal cord explants 2) determining the percentage of contraction-positive explants 3) counting the number of contracting units per explant and 4) counting the number of nicotinic receptorclusters at neuromuscular junctions using rhodamine-labelled a-bungarotoxin. The statistical significance of differences between the treated and control groups of explants was tested using the independent samples Student t-test. NT-3 added to the culture medium at the concentration of 10 ng/ml, which proved the most efficient in our concentration testing, increased all the parameters of functional innervation. A higher capacity of the neurons to form functional neuromuscular junctions in NT-3-containing cocultures was thus demonstrated. Nevrotrofini, med katere sodi tudi nevrotrofin 3 (NT-3), so beljakovine iz skupine rastnih dejavnikov z učinki na živčevjc. Od vseh nevrotrofinov je NT-3najbolj razširjen v razvijajočem se in zrelem živčnem sistemu in ima pomembno vlogo pri razvoju in ohranjanju strukture in delovanja živčevja, pomemben pa bi lahko bil tudi pri nekaterih nevroloških boleznih in v prihodnosri morda tudi pri njihovem zdravljenju. Namen naše naloge je bil preučiti vpliv NT3 na zmožnost motonevronov, da tvorijo delujoče živčno-mišične stike. Pri tem smo se odločili uporabiti poskusni model, v katerem nevroni izraščajo iz eksplantov podganje embrionalne hrbtenjače in tvorijo delujoče živčno-mišične stike na mišičnih cevčicah človeške mišice. Tamodel omogoča opazovanje nastajanja živčno-mišičnega stika na vseh pomembnihstopnjah tega procesa in kvantitativno ocenjevanje uspešnosti funkcionalnega oživčenja. Na tak način učinki NT3 še niso bili kvantitativno ocenjeni. Vpliv NT-3 na funkcionalno oživčenje smo ocenjevali tako, da smo: 1.šteli živčne izrastke na robu eksplanta, 2. določali delež kontrakcijsko pozitivnih eksplamov, 3. šteli kontrahirajoče enote v polju oživčenja posameznega eksplanta in 4. šteli skupke acetilholinskih receptorjev v živčno-mišičnem stiku s pomočjo barvanja z a-bungarotoksinom, konjugiranim z rodaminom. Pod vplivom NT3, dodanega v koncentraciji 10 ng/ml, M se je v poizkusih testiranja različnih koncentracij izkazala kot najbolj učinkovim, sose povečali vsi merjeni parametri funkcionalnega oživčenja. S tem smo potrdili hipotezo, da NT-3 izboljša zmožnosti motonevronov za ustvarjanje delujočih živčno-mišičnih stikov.
