Abstract
There are four cysteines (Cys74, Cys104, Cys112 and Cys163) in mature human IL-18 (hIL-18). These cysteines are highly conserved in IL-18s of 11 species cloned so far, suggesting that one or more of the cysteines may be important for hIL-18 function. In this study, each cysteine residue was individually replaced with serine by site-directed mutagenesis. The wild type and mutant IL-18s were expressed in Escherichia coli and renatured by two renaturing methods. The purified wild type and mutant rhIL-18s were assayed for their capacity of inducing IFN-gamma and activating NF-kappaB from ConA-stimulated PBMC. DNA binding activity of NF-kappaB was performed by electrophoretic mobility-shift analysis. Our results showed that the mutant rhIL-18C74S and C163S induced much less amount of IFN-gamma from PBMC and the decrement of NF-kappaB DNA binding activity was also observed from C74S and C163S treated PBMC. These results indicate that functional hIL-18 has an absolute requirement for residues Cys74 and Cys163.

Abstract
We treated in vitro human renal carcinoma cells (cell line 786-0) with the lipid-delivered peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) against Ki-67 gene. Corresponding control groups were treated with the antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) of the same nucleobase sequence, and with mismatched PNAs. In cells treated by anti-Ki-67 PNAs, the Ki-67 expression rate, Ki-67 protein level, cell growth and the DNA synthesis-indicative 3H-thymidine incorporation rate were lower than in the ASO-treated groups, and reduced significantly compared to untreated controls, whereas the rate of apoptosis was markedly increased by PNA treatment. We conclude that anti-Ki-67 PNA has more strong (than ASO) and dose-dependent effects on the proliferation and apoptosis of human renal carcinoma cells. Our results indicate that the strategy of using PNA against the Ki-67 gene might be a promising approach in renal carcinoma therapy.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effect of PSD-95 antisense oligodeoxynucleotides on the phosphorylation of MLK3, JNK3 and interactions of MLK3 and PSD-95 with kainate receptor (GluR6) by immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting. Transient (15 min) brain ischemia was induced by the four-vessel occlusion in Sprague-Dawley rats. The antisense oligodeoxynucleotides of PSD-95 were administrated to the SD rats once per day for 3 days before ischemia. Our data show that the antisense oligodeoxynucleotides could inhibit phosphorylation of MLK3 and JNK3 and decrease the interactions of MLK3 and PSD-95 with GluR6. These results indicate that PSD-95 plays an important role in the formation of the GluR6.PSD-95.MLK3 signaling module and MLK3 and JNK3 activation in postischemic rat hippocampus.

Abstract
To study the structure-function relationships of human IL-18(hIL-18), site-directed mutagenesis was used to generate four hIL-18 cysteine mutants, C74S, C104S, C112S and C163S. The cDNAs of the four cysteine mutants were inserted into prokaryotic expression vector pJW2 and expressed as inclusion bodies in E. coli. The inclusion bodies were washed with 2 mol/L urea, dissolved in 8 mol/L urea, and purified by chromatography on Sephadex G-100 column. The purity of the purified mutants were greater than 90% as judged by SDS-PAGE. The activity of rhIL-18 C74S, C104S, C112S and C163S accounted for 5%, 81%, 58% and 11% of wild type, respectively. These results suggest that Cys74 and Cys163 play important roles in inducing IFN-gamma production in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Abstract
We have identified and characterized N-Bak, a neuron-specific isoform of the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member Bak. N-Bak is generated by neuron-specific splicing of a novel 20-base pair exon, which changes the previously described Bak, containing Bcl-2 homology (BH) domains BH1, BH2, and BH3, into a shorter BH3-only protein. As demonstrated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and RNase protection assay, N-Bak transcripts are expressed only in central and peripheral neurons, but not in other cells, whereas the previously described Bak is expressed ubiquitously, but not in neurons. Neonatal sympathetic neurons microinjected with N-Bak resisted apoptotic death caused by nerve growth factor (NGF) removal, whereas microinjected Bak accelerated NGF deprivation-induced death. Overexpressed Bak killed sympathetic neurons in the presence of NGF, whereas N-Bak did not. N-Bak was, however, still death-promoting when overexpressed in non-neuronal cells. Thus, N-Bak is an anti-apoptotic BH3-only protein, but only in the appropriate cellular environment. This is the first example of a neuron-specific Bcl-2 family member.

Abstract
Past efforts to improve plant tolerance to osmotic stress have had limited success owing to the genetic complexity of stress responses. The first step towards cataloging and categorizing genetically complex abotic stress responses is the rapid discovery of genes by the large-scale partial sequencing of randomly selected cDNA clones or expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Suaeda salsa, which can survive seawater-level salinity, is a favorite halophytic model for salt tolerant research. We constructed a NaCl-treated cDNA library of Suaeda salsa and sequenced 1048 randomly selected clones, out of which 1016 clones produced readable sequences (773 showed homology to previously identified genes, 227 matched unknown protein coding regions, 16 anomalous sequences or sequences of bacterial origin were excluded from further analysis). By sequence analysis we identified 492 unique clones: 315 showed homology to previously identified genes, 177 matched unknown protein coding regions (101 of which have been found before in other organisms and 76 are completely novel). All our EST data are available on the Internet. We believe that our dbEST and the associated DNA materials will be a useful source to scientists engaging in stress-tolerance study.

Abstract
Using the mongolian gerbil model of transient forebrain ischemia by bilateral carotid arteries occlusion, the levels of phosphorylation and the amount of DARPP-32 in striatum were measured by back-phosphorylation and Western-blotting assay in vitro. Transient forebrain ischemia had no effect on the immunoreaction of DARPP-32 in striatum, but the state of phosphorylation of DARPP-32 showed a significant change. The [32P] phosphate incorporation in DARPP-32 decreased after 2, 7 or 10 min of ischemia, but increased after a 5-min ischemia. In contrast, the result of back-phosphorylation in vivo was opposite to that obtained in vitro.

Abstract
AIM To study the effects of dopamine depletion on the phosphorylation level, intracellular distribution, and mRNA expression of DARPP-32 in the ischemic striatum and to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the ischemic injury. METHODS A complex model of SN lesioning with 6-OHDA to deplete dopamine and four vessels occlusion for inducing forebrain ischemia was constructed in rats. DARPP-32 was investigated with autoradiogram, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. RESULTS The [32P]phosphate incorporation of DARPP-32 was reduced in vitro following ischemia. However, the [32P]phosphate incorporation, the numbers of positive neurons, and mRNA expression of DARPP-32 were increased in SN lesioning plus ischemic rats with denervated striatum. CONCLUSION Dopamine depletion reduced the DARPP-32 phosphorylation in vivo following ischemia, and protected DARPP-32 immunoreactivity and mRNA expression level against the reduction induced by ischemia.

Abstract
Neuronal cell death is in many cases regulated by competitive interactions between pro- and antiapoptotic proteins of the Bcl-2 family. In this study we have identified two splice variants of the rat proapoptotic molecule Bad, which differ in their carboxy-terminal regions. Both splice variants of Bad interacted with the antiapoptotic molecule Bcl-w as shown by yeast two-hybrid assay and by co-immunoprecipitation experiments from transfected cells. mRNA expression for the two variants of bad were detected in all neonatal and adult rat tissues tested. Overexpression of either of the two isoforms of Bad in nerve growth factor (NGF)-maintained sympathetic neurons by microinjection induced the cell death of these neurons, which was neutralized by co-expression of Bcl-w. Overexpression of Bcl-w in sympathetic neurons also counteracted death induced by NGF deprivation, which was not reduced by co-expression of either of the two Bad variants. The results suggest that Bcl-w, Bad-alpha, and Bad-beta may participate in the regulation of apoptosis in the sympathetic nervous system.

Abstract
AIM To study the effects of dopamine (DA) and glutamate (Glu) and their receptor agonists/antagonists on Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CCDPK II), cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) activities and the LDH release in rat striatal slices, and to examine the interaction between DA and Glu transmitter systems in striatum. METHODS The activities of CCDPK II, PKA, and the release of LDH were determined with the 32P-incorporation and colorimetry respectively in rat striatal slices. RESULTS (1) Exogenous DA, D1 receptor agonist SKF 38393 and D2 receptor agonist LY 171555 reduced CCDPK II activity in striatal slices; Glu also inhibited CCPPK II activity in a concentration-dependent manner. NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801 could antagonize the inhibitory effect of SKF 38393 and LY 171555 on the CCDPK II activity. D1 and D2 receptor antagonists SCH 23390 and spiperone could also antagonize the decrease of CCDPK II activity induced by Glu; (2) DA and SKF 38393 markedly increased PKA activity in striatal slices, which was reduced by MK-801; (3) DA and Glu increased the release of LDH from the striatal neurons in a concentration-dependent manner. MK-801 antagonized the increase of LDH induced by DA. Spiperone, rather than SCH 23390, could reduce the release of LDH from striatal neuron in the presence of Glu. CONCLUSION The interaction between DA and Glu transmitter systems is found in the regulation of the CCDPK II and PKA activities and cell function in the striatum.

Abstract
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has potentially great clinical importance in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and several other neurodegenerative diseases, however its intracellular signaling mechanisms are poorly understood. Here we show that upon GDNF binding glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked GDNF receptor alpha1 (GFRalpha1) activates cytoplasmic Src family tyrosine kinase(s) in Ret tyrosine kinase-deficient cultured mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons and in two Ret-negative cell lines. GFRalpha1-mediated Src-type kinase activation subsequently triggers phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase, cAMP response element binding protein and phospholipase Cgamma. We therefore conclude that GDNF can activate intracellular signaling pathways Ret-independently via GPI-linked GFRalpha1.

Abstract
AIM To elucidate the protection of l-stepholidine (SPD) on neuronal morphology and function against the striatal ischemic injury in rat. METHODS The forebrain ishemia to Sprague Dawley rats was induced with four-vessel occlusion. Histological examination was performed on the dorsolateral striatum with cresylviolet stain. In striatal slices of rat as an in vitro ischemic model, the activity of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CCDPK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was examined by the method of 32P-incorporation and colorimetry, respectively. RESULTS In the SPD-treated groups, most of the neurons in the striatum kept the normal morphological appearance after 30-min ischemia followed by 6-h or 12-h reperfusion. The number of neurons was much more in SPD groups than that in vehicle group. The sparse and abnormal neurons were observed in the vehicle group. SPD attenuated the ischemic effect on the CCDPK activity in striatal slices. In addition, SPD inhibited the leakage of LDH from neurons induced by ischemia in incubated striatal slices. CONCLUSION SPD protected striatal neurons against ischemic injury and antagonized the inhibitory action on CCDPK activity induced by ischemia. SPD reduced the leakage of LDH from striatal neurons induced by ischemia.

Abstract
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and a related protein, neurturin (NTN), require a GPI-linked coreceptor, either GFR alpha1 or GFR alpha2, for signaling via the transmembrane Ret tyrosine kinase. We show that mice lacking functional GFR alpha2 coreceptor (Gfra2-/-) are viable and fertile but have dry eyes and grow poorly after weaning, presumably due to malnutrition. While the sympathetic innervation appeared normal, the parasympathetic cholinergic innervation was almost absent in the lacrimal and salivary glands and severely reduced in the small bowel. Neurite outgrowth and trophic effects of NTN at low concentrations were lacking in Gfra2-/- trigeminal neurons in vitro, whereas responses to GDNF were similar between the genotypes. Thus, GFR alpha2 is a physiological NTN receptor, essential for the development of specific postganglionic parasympathetic neurons.

Abstract
The effects of glutamate on cultured cortical neurons and the protective effect of ketamine and nifedipine were studied. On day 10 after plating of the cortical cells from 16-18 day-old fetal rats, the cultures were exposed to 50 mumol.L-1 glutamate and low glucose (1 g.L-1) for 10 min-24 h. The results showed that a release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) into the culture supernatant was observed as a function of time. The values of LDH efflux in culture medium was significantly lower than those of controls when the cells were pretreated with ketamine or nifedipine 10 min prior to addition of glutamate. More significant decrease of LDH activity in culture medium was observed when the two drugs were used in combination. These results demonstrate that the dissociated cultured cortical neurons from fetal rat are seriously damaged by glutamate. Such damage could be attenuated by ketamine and nifedipine, suggesting that ketamine and nifedipine may protect neurons from the glutamate toxicity, and the effect of combining ketamine and nifedipine was greater than either ketamine or nifedipine alone.

Abstract
Both age and sex influence vascular contractile functions and play significant roles in cardiovascular regulation. Recent research has focused on the action of sex steroids on blood vessels and characterized both endothelium-dependent as well as-independent effects in agonists-induced contractile response. However, to study the combined influences of age and sex steroids present a complicated situation. In the current investigation, we studied the role of both these physiological factors in an in vitro approach. We found that high concentrations of estrogen (E2, 17 beta-estradiol) significantly inhibited contractile response induced by KCI in endothelium-denuded aorta derived from both young (24 wk) and aged (53 wk) male rats. The contractile responses in aorta from aged rats were significantly less than that from young adults in the absence or presence of E2 indicating that the vascular effect of E2 could be demonstrated in both young and aged male rats. Taken together, our data suggest that E2's action on endothelium-independent, KCI-induced contractile response in vitro could serve as a simple model system to examine the interaction of aging process and gender difference on vascular functions.

Abstract
The effects of Ca2+ and ketamine on Ca2+/CaM PK II activity in rat hippocampal slices under in vitro hypoxic states have been studied and the effect of hypoxia on glutamate accumulation was also investigated. The results were as follows: (1) Ca2+/CaM PK II activity decreased gradually with increasing hypoxic time in culture medium with or without 1.3 Ca2- mmol/L, with the former case being much more pronounced. (2) Extracellular accumulation of GLU increased about two-fold after hypoxia for 30 min in vitro. (3) When slices were incubated for 30 min under conditions in excess of exogenous GLU the enzyme activity markedly decreased, a finding suggesting that the inhibition of enzyme activity induced by hypoxia may result from excitotoxicity. (4) The inhibition of the enzyme activity induced by either hypoxia or excess exogenous glutamate alone could be antagonized markedly by pretreatment with ketamine, suggesting that the hypoxia induced inhibition of the enzyme activity is mediated by NMDA receptor.
