Serine racemase and D-serine have long been believed to occur predominantly in astrocytes, according to immunohistochemical studies. Recent studies have demonstrated, however, that both the mRNA and protein levels of serine racemase are considerably higher in neurons than in astrocytes in primary cultures of the rat brain and that the mRNA level of serine racemase predominates in neurons of the adult rat brain. Here we report the application of in situ hybridization based on tyramide signal amplification for the detection of serine racemase mRNA in sections of the adult rat retina and optic nerve head. The localization of serine racemase mRNA could be demonstrated in ganglion cells, amacrine cells, bipolar cells, horizontal cells, and Müller cells of the retina as well as in the astrocytes of the optic nerve head and the lamina cribrosa. This is the first study to demonstrate the exact localization of serine racemase mRNA at the cellular or tissue level in the retina and the optic nerve head. These results suggest that both the neuron- and glia-derived D-serine could modulate neurotransmission via the glycine site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in the retina.","PeriodicalId":8307,"journal":{"name":"Archives of histology and cytology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1679/AOHC.71.123","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67484258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To pursue this issue, we examined tooth development in Runx2 transgenic mice under the control of Col1a1 promoter (Tg(Col1a1-Runx2) mice). Endogenous Runx2 protein was detected in the nuclei of preodontoblasts, immature odontoblasts, mesenchymal cells in the dental sac, and osteoblasts, while transgene expression was detected in odontoblasts and osteoblasts. Odontoblasts in Tg(Col1a1-Runx2) mice lost their columnar shape and dentin was deposited around the odontoblasts, which were cuboid or flat in shape. The dentin in Tg(Col1a1-Runx2) mice was thin and possessed lacunae that contained odontoblasts and bone canaliculi-like structures, while predentin and dentinal tubules were absent. We examined the expression of dentin matrix protein genes, Col1a1 and dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP), by in situ hybridization, and dentin matrix proteins, osteocalcin, osteopontin, and dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) as well as an intermediate filament, nestin, by immunohistochemistry to characterize odontoblasts in Tg(Col1a1-Runx2) mice. Results showed Col1a1 expression was down-regulated, DSPP expression was lost, and nestin expression was severely decreased in the odontoblasts of Tg(Col1a1-Runx2) mice. Further, the expressions of osteocalcin, osteopontin, and DMP1 were up-regulated in odontoblasts, although the up-regulation of osteocalcin expression was transient. These findings indicate that Runx2 inhibits the terminal differentiation of odontoblasts, and that Runx2 induces transdifferentiation of odontoblasts into osteoblasts forming a bone structure. Thus, Runx2 expression has to be down-regulated during odontoblast differentiation to acquire full odontoblast differentiation for dentinogenesis.","PeriodicalId":8307,"journal":{"name":"Archives of histology and cytology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1679/AOHC.71.131","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67484317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the vascular endothelium was reliably stained with an anti-PECAM-1 antibody, and relationships between the capillarity and muscle fiber parameters were analyzed. For assessment of the capillarity, we used the capillary length-to-fiber ratio, due to the presence of transversely running vessels. In young and adult rats, the capillary length-to-fiber ratio was proportional to both the muscle fiber cross sectional area and muscle fiber radius. However, when these data were analyzed together with data from neonatal and very young rats, the capillary length-to-fiber ratio correlated more closely with the muscle fiber radius than the muscle fiber cross sectional area in the tibialis anterior muscle. The capillary number-to-fiber ratio demonstrated results very similar to the capillary length-to-fiber ratio. During muscle atrophy after denervation, the number of capillaries was decreased in a non-apoptotic manner as revealed by electron microscopy, maintaining the close relationship between the parameters described above. In conclusion, capillarity was closely correlated with the muscle fiber radius (which represents the perimeter) during growth and atrophy.

It is therefore important to investigate the mechanism of basement membrane degradation by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Previously, cancer cells were long considered to be the major source of MMPs; however, current evidence indicates that most MMPs in cancer tissue are produced by stromal rather than cancer cells. A glycoprotein highly expressed on the cancer-cell membrane, EMMPRIN (extra-cellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer), exhibits the potential role of the MMP inductor in stromal cells. Depending on the cell type, EMMPRIN can stimulate the production of MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-3. We here report that soluble full-length EMMPRIN is liberated from HEp-2 human laryngeal epidermoid carcinoma cells, probably via microvesicle shedding. Soluble EMMPRIN stimulates human fibroblasts to produce MMP-2, after which the augmented migration of HEp-2 cells occurs, as observed in an invasion chamber assay with separately cultured fibroblasts. An anti-EMMPRIN function-blocking antibody reduced MMP-2 activity in the conditioned medium and inhibited the migration of HEp-2; obviously, EMMPRIN activity contributes to cancer-cell migration.
