Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is the most widely used BFR in the world to improve the fire safety of laminates in electrical and electronic equipment. Aroclor 1254, one of the PCBs, is widely distributed in the environment due to its extensive use in industrial applications around the world. Both groups of substances are potent toxicants. There is also increasing evidence that they have neurotoxic effects. In this study we tested the pro-inflammatory effects of Aroclor 1254 and TBBPA based on markers of microglial reactivity and levels of pro-inflammatory factors in the brain of immature rats. Aroclor 1254 or TBBPA were administered to the rats by oral gavage for two weeks at a dose of 10 mg/kg b.w. Both light and electron microscopy studies revealed features indicative of microglia activation in brains of exposed rats. Morphological changes were associated with overexpression of pro-inflammatory enzymes such as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Analysis of cytokine/chemokine array revealed significant secretion of inflammatory mediators following exposure to both TBBPA and Aroclor 1254, which was stronger in the cerebellum than in the forebrain of exposed immature rats. The results indicate a pro-inflammatory profile of microglia activation as one of the neurotoxic mechanisms of both examined toxicants.","PeriodicalId":12370,"journal":{"name":"Folia neuropathologica","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140564772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, the clinical application of hiPSCs has been limited due to safety issues. The present study aims to standardize the safety procedure of the derivation of GMP-compliant induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from human fibroblasts. The hiPSC lines were generated using the nonintegrative Sendai virus method to incorporate Yamanaka reprogramming factors (OCT3/4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC) into cells. A constant temperature was maintained during the cell culture, including all stages of the culture after transduction with Sendai virus. Pluripotency was proved in six independently generated hiPSC lines from adult female (47 years old) and male (57 years old) donors’ derived fibroblasts via alkaline phosphatase live (ALP) staining, qPCR, and immunocytochemistry. The hiPSC lines showed a gradual decrease in the presence of the virus with each subsequent passage, and this reduction was specific to the hiPSC line. The frequency and probability of chromosomal aberrations in hiPSCs were dependent on both the iPSC clone identity and sex of the donor. In summary, the generation of hiPSC for clinical applications requires safety standards application (biosafety protocol, quality control of hiPSC lines, viral and genetic integrity screening) from the first stages of the clonal selection of hiPSC from the same donor.","PeriodicalId":12370,"journal":{"name":"Folia neuropathologica","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140564913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Histopathological diagnosis was obtained either by biopsy or surgical resection. Gliomas were classified to the group of no-choline elevation when the ratio of choline measured within the tumour (Cho<sub>lesion</sub>) to choline from NABT (Cho<sub>ref</sub>) were equal to or lower than 1. Significant differences were observed between ratios of Cho<sub>lesion</sub>/Cr<sub>lesion</sub> calculated for no-choline elevation and glial tumour groups as well as in the NAA<sub>lesion</sub>/Cr<sub>lesion</sub> ratio between the no-choline elevation group and glial tumour group.

A 3.5-year-old girl was affected by this disease. Due to diagnostic difficulties, the spectrum of clinical, enzymatic, and genetic tests was extended to include analysis of the ultrastructure of cells from a rectal biopsy. The aim of our research was to search for pathognomonic features of CLN2 and to analyse the mitochondrial damage accompanying the disease. In the examined cells of the rectal mucosa, as expected, filamentous deposits of the curvilinear profile (CVP) type were found, which dominated quantitatively. Mixed deposits of the CVP/fingerprint profile (FPP) type were observed less frequently in the examined cells. A form of inclusions of unknown origin, not described so far in CLN2 disease, were wads of osmophilic material (WOMs). They occurred alone or co-formed mixed deposits. In addition, atypically damaged mitochondria were observed in muscularis mucosae. Their deformed cristae had contact with inclusions that looked like CVPs. Considering the confirmed role of the c subunit of the mitochondrial ATP synthase in the formation of filamentous lipopigment deposits in the group of NCLs, we suggest the possible significance of other mitochondrial proteins, such as mitochondrial contact site and cristae organizing system (MICOS), in the formation of these deposits.

Since genome-wide association studies showed that the majority of AD-related genetic risk factors (AD-GRF) are connected to the immune system, our aim was to identify AD-GRF affected in the hippocampus by LPS-induced systemic inflammatory response (SIR).

In our study, we used a mouse model of LPS-induced SIR and mouse microglial BV2 cells. JQ1 was used as an inhibitor of BET proteins. The level of mRNA was analysed using microarrays and qPCR. Our data demonstrated that among the established AD-GRF, only the expression of Cd33 was significantly upregulated in the hippocampus during SIR.

Moreover, JQ1 reduced Cd33 expression in BV2 microglial cells stimulated with blood serum from LPS-treated mice.
