Post-translational modifications (PTMs) increase Aβ aggregation and cytotoxicity, and the content of specific Aβ proteoforms is elevated in senile plaques of AD patients. The pathophysiological mechanisms of aggregate formation and the role of Aβ proteoforms need thorough study both to understand the role played by specific processes in the initiation of neuronal degradation and to find effective preventive means of therapeutic action. The present work investigates the dynamics of accumulation of phosphorylated serine-8 proteoform Aβ (pSer8-Aβ) using the 5xFAD mouse amyloid model. Aβ samples from human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain were also investigated. Western blot studies using 1E4E11 and 4G8 antibodies showed that accumulation of pSer8-Aβ in mouse brain starts as early as at the age of 3 months and reaches a maximum by the age of 14-17 months, which is generally similar to the dynamics of accumulation of the total pool of Aβ peptides. The pSer8-Aβ level in human CSF in AD patients can reach ~ 1-10% of the total amount of Aβ. Mass spectrometric analysis showed that Aβ phosphorylation by the Ser8, Tyr10, and Ser26 residues in brain tissues, as well as phosphorylation of the APP by Thr719 residue, is possible.

The lack of effective therapy indicates that the mechanisms of sAD development remain poorly understood. To investigate this pathology in animals, intracerebroventricular injection of β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) using a Hamilton syringe, either during stereotactic surgery or through a pre-implanted cannula, is used. In this study, we analyzed the effect of chronic cannula implantation on the severity of Aβ effects at the behavioral, histological, and biochemical levels. The results showed that the local damage to neural tissue caused by cannulation has no bearing on the effect of Aβ on animal behavior and the microglial parameters of the unilateral hippocampus two weeks after the Aβ administration. However, cannula implantation fundamentally modifies some biochemical markers of the oxidative stress that occurs in the brain tissue in response to Aβ administration. Thus, the presence of a cannula reduces the severity of the Aβ impact on the levels of peroxidized lipids and glutathione two- and 10-fold, respectively. It is important to note that the detected changes are chronic and systemic. This is known because the homogenate of the entire contralateral (in relation to the cannula implantation site) hemisphere was analyzed, and the analysis was performed two weeks after implantation. At the same time, cannulation does not affect the rate of reactive oxygen species production. The obtained data indicate that chronic implantation of a cannula into the brain of experimental animals fundamentally distorts some parameters of oxidative stress in the neural tissue, which are widely used to assess the severity of experimental Alzheimer's-type diseases.</p>","PeriodicalId":6989,"journal":{"name":"Acta Naturae","volume":"16 3","pages":"51-59"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11569840/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142646749","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}

We modified the Expi293F cell line, a HEK293 cell line variant widely used in the production of recombinant proteins. Gene expression of the selected growth factors in these cells was activated using CRISPR/Cas9 technology with the synergistic activation mediators CRISPR/Cas9-SAM, which increased the expression of the selected genes at both mRNA and protein levels. Upon culturing under standard conditions, the modified lines exhibited increased proliferation. A synergistic effect was observed in co-culture of the three modified lines. In our opinion, these results indicate that this approach is promising for efficient modification of cell lines used in biotechnology.</p>","PeriodicalId":6989,"journal":{"name":"Acta Naturae","volume":"16 3","pages":"25-37"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11557215/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142611867","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}
