Project description:Infertility observed in adult Sertoli cell (SC)-specific Connexin 43 Knockout-mice rather seems to be an effect of the disturbed SC-Germ cell (GC) crosstalk than a direct consequence of the loss of Cx43 protein in SC with important GC specific genes being mostly affected by this deletion.

Project description:Objective: We previously reported that white matter connexin43 (Cx43) may related to the severity of the multiple sclerosis (MS), whereas the role of gray matter Cx43 in demyelinating disease is unknown. It was considered MS lesions were only exist in white matter, but recent studies revealed that demyelinating lesions are also exist in the cerebral cortex. This fact suggest the possibility that gray matter is somewhat related to the pathophysiology of MS. In this study, we aimed to clarify the role of gray matter Cx43 in a mouse model of MS (experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis [EAE]). Methods: We developed Cx43F/F;Glutamate aspartate transporter (GLAST)-CreER(T2)KI/+ mice as gray matter specific Cx43 conditional knock-out (Cx43cKO) mice. We induced MOG-EAE 10 days after tamoxifen injection, and analyze its clinical course and pathology. We used Cx43F/F mice as controls. Results: EAE was significantly milder in gray matter astrocyte-specific Cx43cKO mice from acute phase to chronic phase, as compared with control mice. Pathology demonstrated less demyelinating lesions and infiltrating cells. Infiltrating immune cells did not express Cx43 in the active demyelinating lesions of the lumbar cord in both groups. The expression level of Cx43 was similar between these two groups in the spleen and the inguinal lymph nodes. Interpretation: Acute KO of gray matter specific Cx43 before induction of EAE reduce its aggressiveness. This finding may suggest the possibility that gray matter Cx43 modify the MS pathophysiology.

Project description:Oocyte quality is a well- established determinant of embryonic fate. However, the molecular participants and biological markers that affect and predict adequate embryonic development are largely elusive. We have previously reported that oocyte- directed Connexin 43 (Cx43) depletion leads to embryo implantation defects, although both the morphology of the oocyte and processes presiding embryo implantation appear to undergo normally. In the context of previous data determining Cx43 indispensability to oocyte and embryonic development, we show here that the timing of Cx43 depletion from the oocyte and the ovarian follicle is crucial in determining the severity of subsequent embryonic defects. Specifically, we show that the implantation defects of blastocysts resulting from oocyte- directed Cx43- depleted follicles (depletion occurs at day 3 postnatal), is not due to maternal luteal insufficiency but rather depends solely on the defective blastocysts. Gene expression microarray analysis revealed global defects in the expression of ribosomal proteins, translation initiation factors and other genes associated with cellular biosynthetic and metabolic processes in these defective oocytes and specifically blastocysts. We therefore propose that timely expression of Cx43 in the oocyte and ovarian follicles is a major determinant of oocyte developmental competence, by determining the ability of the resulting blastocyst to facilitate biomass expansion and undergo adequate embryo implantation To study the effect of CX43 on the transcriptom of the pre implantation stages, we compared CX43 KO oocytes to the WT oocytes in three different stages of the very early development. First comparison MII oocytes, second comparison blastocysts, third comparison implantation site.

Project description:Objectives: We studied the signal transduction of atrial structural remodelling that contributes to the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Backround: Fibrosis is a hallmark of arrhythmogenic structural remodelling but the underlying molecular mechanisms are incompletely understood. Methods: We performed transcriptional profiling of left atrial myocardium (LA) from patients with AF and sinus rhythm (SR) and applied cultured primary cardiac cells and transgenic mice with overexpression of constitutively active V12Rac1 (RacET) who develop AF at old age to characterize mediators of the signal transduction of atrial remodeling. Results: LA from patients with AF showed a marked upregulation of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression compared SR patients. This was associated with increased fibrosis, NADPH-oxidase-, Rac1- and RhoA activity, upregulation of N-cadherin and connexin 43 (Cx43) expression and increased angiotensin II tissue concentration. In neonatal rat cardiac myocytes and -fibroblasts, a specific small molecule inhibitor of Rac1 or simvastatin completely prevented the angiotensin II induced upregulation of CTGF, Cx43 and N-cadherin expression. Transfection with small-inhibiting CTGF RNA blocked Cx43 and N-cadherin expression. RacET mice showed upregulation of CTGF, Cx43 and N-cadherin protein expression. Inhibition of Rac1 by oral statin treatment prevented these effects, identifying Rac1 as a key regulator of CTGF in vivo. Conclusion: The data identify CTGF as an important mediator of atrial structural remodelling during AF. Angiotensin II activates CTGF via activation of Rac1 and NADPH oxidase, leading to upregulation of Cx43, N-cadherin and interstitial fibrosis and therefore contributing to the signal transduction of atrial structural remodelling. Array design study consists of 5 Atrial Fibrillation patients and matched 5 samples of patients in sinus rhythm (controls).
