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":null,"pages":null},"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}

However, undetermined is whether it is applicable to evaluation of myocardial viability in ischemic hearts. To address this issue, we investigated sequential changes in Raman spectra of the subepicardial myocardium in the Langendorff-perfused rat heart before and during ligation of the left coronary artery and its subsequent release and re-ligation. 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":null,"pages":null},"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}

The present study aimed to demonstrate the correlation between the immunohistochemical expression pattern of HLA class I and the CIN grade through repeated examinations during the clinical course. Expression patterns of HLA class I, p16INK4a, and PD-L1 were immunohistochemically examined using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) sections of biopsy or conization samples that were obtained from 20 patients diagnosed with CIN. The mRNA expression levels of HLA class I were analyzed by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction using FFPE sections of 14 patients, who were examined metachronously during the follow-up period. 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. In conclusion, the immunohistochemical pattern of HLA class I expression is associated with the CIN grade, and it is alterable during the clinical course, especially in CIN2.","PeriodicalId":6888,"journal":{"name":"Acta Histochemica Et Cytochemica","volume":null,"pages":null},"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/55/40/ahc-054-57.PMC8116618.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38999691","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}

Neural projections of the Vmes to the periodontium were confirmed by injecting Fluoro-Gold (FG) retrogradely into the extraction sockets, and for the anterograde labeling adeno-associated virus encoding green fluorescent protein (AAV-GFP) was applied. For immunohistochemistry, Piezo2, ATF3, Caspase 3, ChAT and TDP-43 antibodies were used. At 1 month after tooth extraction, the number of Piezo2-immunoreactive (IR) Vmes neurons were decreased significantly. ATF3-IR neurons were detected on day 5 after tooth extraction. Dead cleaved caspase-3-IR neurons were found among Vmes neurons on days 7 and 12. In the Vmo, neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions (NCIs) formation type of TDP-43 increased at 1 and 2 months after extraction. These indicate the existence of neural projections from the Vmes to the periodontium in mice and that tooth loss induces the death of Vmes neurons followed by TDP-43 pathology in the Vmo. Therefore, tooth loss induces Vmes neuronal cell death, causing Vmo neurodegeneration and presumably affecting masticatory function.","PeriodicalId":6888,"journal":{"name":"Acta Histochemica Et Cytochemica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/2e/0e/ahc-054-11.PMC7947638.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25488573","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}

The ciliary zonules are composed of oxytalan fibers, which are synthesized by human nonpigmented ciliary epithelial cells (HNPCEC). The ciliary zonules are exposed to ultraviolet (UV), especially UV-A and UV-B, throughout life. We previously demonstrated that UV-B, but not UV-A, degrades fibrillin-1- and fibrillin-2-positive oxytalan fibers. However, the mechanism by which UV-B degrades oxytalan fibers remains unknown. In this study, we investigate the involvement of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) in the UV-B-induced degradation of fibrillin-1- and fibrillin-2-positive oxytalan fibers in cultured HNPCECs. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed that UV-B irradiation at levels of 100 and 150 mJ/cm2 significantly increased the level of active MMP-2. Notably, MMP-2 inhibitors completely suppressed the degradation of fibrillin-1- and fibrillin-2-positive oxytalan fibers. In addition, we show that UV-B activates MMP-2 via stress-responsive kinase p38. Taken together, the results suggest that UV-B activates a production of active type of MMP-2 via the p38 pathway, and subsequently, an active-type MMP-2 degrades the fibrillin-1- and fibrillin-2-positive oxytalan fibers in cultured HNPCECs.","PeriodicalId":6888,"journal":{"name":"Acta Histochemica Et Cytochemica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/3d/68/ahc-054-1.PMC7947639.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25488572","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}

Two independent observers evaluated the immunohistochemical staining intensity of Hofbauer cells in placenta samples stained for cytoplasmic antigens by ImageJ, QuPath and light microscopy. Thus, the precise manual determination of ROIs, i.e. Hofbauer cells, was necessary. We detected low inter-observer variability in staining intensity. Almost perfect agreement between observers was reached for ImageJ and QuPath whilst substantial agreement was reached for light microscopy evaluation. As for the comparison of ImageJ, QuPath and light microscopy, the agreement of all three methods (identical immunohistochemical intensity) was achieved for 38.1% samples. The almost perfect agreement of staining intensities was reached between ImageJ and QuPath, and moderate agreement for comparison of the light microscopy to both software.
