I/R was induced by intraluminal middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and reperfusion. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated to the Sham group and I/R group, and the I/R group was further divided into three subgroups: Dex (9 μg.kg-1 Dex), PCr (180 mg.kg-1 PCr) and Dex + PCr (9 μg.kg-1 Dex + 180 mg.kg-1 PCr). All treatments were given intravenously at the onset of reperfusion. After 24 hr of reperfusion, the neurological deficit score (NDS) was determined and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan was performed. Serum concentrations of malonaldehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) were measured and cerebral infarct volume was estimated by triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. Blood brain barrier, neuronal and mitochondrial damage was assessed by optical and electron microscopy. Neuronal injury was further assessed using double cleaved caspase-3 and NeuN immunofluorescent staining. Compared with group I/R, Dex and PCr significantly reduced the neurological deficit score (P < 0.01), infarct volume (P < 0.01), and brain blood barrier, neuronal and mitochondrial damage. The level of oxidative stress (P < 0.001) and neuronal injury (P < 0.001) also decreased and surviving neurons increased (P < 0.001). Compared with Dex or PCr alone, the combination treatment had overall greater effects (P < 0.05). These results indicate that posttreatment with Dex or PCr decreases focal cerebral I/R injury and that these agents in combination have greater protective effects than each alone.","PeriodicalId":6888,"journal":{"name":"Acta Histochemica Et Cytochemica","volume":"54 4","pages":"105-113"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8424249/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9720044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gastric gland mucin-specific O-glycans are unique with an α1,4-linked N-acetylglucosamine (αGlcNAc) residue attached to mucin 6 (MUC6). Although αGlcNAc is expected to be expressed in OPMTs, the relationship between αGlcNAc expression and OPMT progression remains unknown. Here, we analysed 104 areas of benign mucinous tumours (benign), 55 areas of borderline mucinous tumours (borderline), and 18 areas of malignant mucinous tumours (malignant) to investigate the expression patterns of αGlcNAc, mucin 2 (MUC2), mucin 5AC (MUC5AC), and MUC6 during the progression of OPMT from benign to malignant. MUC5AC expression was observed in all areas. The frequencies of MUC6- and αGlcNAc-positive areas were decreased with tumour progression. In particular, the decrease in αGlcNAc-positive areas was remarkable. Furthermore, αGlcNAc expression was lower than MUC6 expression at all grades (benign, p < 0.0001; borderline, p = 0.0014; malignant, p = 0.0039). Conversely, there was no difference in the expression frequency or level of MUC2 among the three grades. These results suggest that decreased expression of αGlcNAc relative to MUC6 occurs early in tumour development and marks the initiation of OPMT progression.","PeriodicalId":6888,"journal":{"name":"Acta Histochemica Et Cytochemica","volume":" ","pages":"115-122"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/4d/9c/21-00032.PMC8424251.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39410616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequently, we immunolocalized FOXI1 in 140 breast carcinomas and evaluated its clinicopathological significance. In the microarray analysis, we newly identified that gene expression of FOXI1 was most pronouncedly linked to metastasis of the breast carcinoma among the FOX members examined. However, clinicopathological significance of FOXI1 has not been examined in the breast carcinoma. FOXI1 immunoreactivity was positive in 44 out of 140 (31%) of breast carcinomas, and it was significantly associated with stage, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis. The FOXI1 status was significantly associated with worse prognosis of the breast cancer patients, and it turned out to be an independent prognostic factor for both distant disease-free survival and breast cancer-specific survival.

Some tumors show aggressive phenotypes including early recurrence, local invasion and distant metastasis, but the underlying mechanism to drive the progression of pituitary tumors has remained to be clarified. Aerobic glycolysis known as the Warburg effect is one of the emerging hallmarks of cancer, which has an impact on the tumor biology partly through epigenetic regulation of the tumor-promoting genes. Here, we demonstrate metabolic reprogramming in pituitary tumors contributes to tumor cell growth with epigenetic changes such as histone acetylation. Notably, a shift in histone acetylation increases the expression of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) oncogene, which drives metabolism-dependent cell proliferation in pituitary tumors. These indicate that epigenetic changes could be the specific biomarker for predicting the behavior of pituitary tumors and exploitable as a novel target for the aggressive types of the pituitary tumors.","PeriodicalId":6888,"journal":{"name":"Acta Histochemica Et Cytochemica","volume":"54 3","pages":"87-96"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/38/f7/ahc-054-87.PMC8275863.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39195137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several puncta were observed outside the neurons of PSP, in contrast with the control cases. Double immunofluorescence histochemistry for FtMt and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), glial fibrillary acidic protein, and Iba1 showed localization of FtMt in dopaminergic neurons, microglia, and astrocytes in PSP. Furthermore, FtMt immunoreactivity was detected in a few TH-negative neurons. In the SNc and VTA, FtMt immunoreactivity colocalized with phosphorylated tau immunoreactivity.

Compared to nucleotides and amino acids, sugars have chemical properties that facilitate to reach an unsurpassed level of oligomer diversity. These glycans are a part of the ubiquitous cellular glycoconjugates. Cyto- and histochemically, the glycans' structural complexity is mapped by glycophenotyping of cells and tissues using receptors ('readers', thus called lectins), hereby revealing its dynamic spatiotemporal regulation: these data support the concept of a sugar code. When proceeding from work with plant (haem)agglutinins as such tools to the discovery of endogenous (tissue) lectins, it became clear that a broad panel of biological meanings can indeed be derived from the sugar-based vocabulary (the natural glycome incl. post-synthetic modifications) by glycan-lectin recognition in situ. As consequence, the immunocyto- and histochemical analysis of lectin expression is building a solid basis for the steps toward tracking down functional correlations, for example in processes leading to cell adhesion, apoptosis, autophagy or growth regulation as well as targeted delivery of glycoproteins. Introduction of labeled tissue lectins to glycan profiling assists this endeavor by detecting counterreceptor(s) in situ. Combining these tools and their applications strategically will help to take the trip toward the following long-range aim: to compile a dictionary for the glycan vocabulary that translates each message (oligosaccharide) into its bioresponse(s), that is to crack the sugar code.","PeriodicalId":6888,"journal":{"name":"Acta Histochemica Et Cytochemica","volume":"54 2","pages":"31-48"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/90/23/ahc-054-31.PMC8116616.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38999690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under 532-nm wavelength excitation, the Raman peak intensity of reduced cytochrome c at 747 cm-1 increased quickly after the coronary ligation, and reached a quasi-steady state within 30 min. Subsequent reperfusion of the heart after a short-term (30-min) ligation that simulates reversible conditions resulted in quick recovery of the peak intensity to the baseline. Further re-ligation resulted in resurgence of the peak intensity to nearly the identical value to the first ischemia value. In contrast, reperfusion after prolonged (120-min) ligation that assumes irreversible states resulted in incomplete recovery of the peak intensity, and re-ligation resulted in inadequate resurgence. Electron microscopic observations confirmed the spectral findings. Together, the Raman spectroscopic measurement for cytochrome c could be applicable to evaluation of viability of the ischemic myocardium without labeling.","PeriodicalId":6888,"journal":{"name":"Acta Histochemica Et Cytochemica","volume":"54 2","pages":"65-72"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/14/f7/ahc-054-65.PMC8116620.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38999692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

HLA class I expression was limited to the lower part of the epithelial thickness (M1 pattern) in more than half of CIN1 cases, and was present throughout the epithelial thickness (M2 pattern) in one fourth of CIN1 and CIN2 cases approximately. Heterogeneous expression (H pattern) was detected in half of CIN2 and CIN3 cases and in the all of squamous cell carcinoma cases. Metachronous examinations revealed that these immunohistochemical patterns altered more frequently than the CIN grade. The rate of change of HLA class I mRNA expression level was higher in cases with a progressed immunohistochemical pattern compared to those with regressed immunohistochemical pattern.
