Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish rabbit eyeball rupture model by air gun in order to observe and analyze the early injury condition and reasons of retinal cell after eyeball rupture. METHODS Forty eight healthy rabbits were randomly divided into control group and 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h after injury groups. After anesthesia, the rabbit eyeball rupture model was established by air gun. Then the early pathological changes of rabbit retina were observed, and apoptotic index (AI), oncosis index (OI), the relationship between the expression amounts of apoptosis-related genes and AI were analyzed. RESULTS Obvious pathological lesion appeared in retina 6 h after injury. Irreversible damage occurred 12-24 h after injury. The results of AI and OI indicated that the OI peak appeared 6 h after injury and then gradually declined, while the AI increased with the prolongation of time, and the AI was higher than OI in 12 h after injury. Immunohistochemical results indicated that there was no obvious bcl-2 protein expression change. Compared with the control group and the 3, 6, 12 and 24 h after the injury groups, the expressions of p53 and Caspase-3 were significantly improved and peaked at 12 h (P<0.01). Positive correlation existed among p53, Caspase-3 expression amount and cell apoptosis amount. CONCLUSIONS Apoptosis and oncosis of visual cells are the main reasons of retinal cell injury. p53 and Caspase-3 are the important factors in promoting the retinal cell apoptosis after eyeball rupture.

Abstract
The formation of the neuromuscular junction is characterized by the progressive accumulation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) in the postsynaptic membrane facing the nerve terminal, induced predominantly through the agrin/muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) signaling cascade. However, the cellular mechanisms linking MuSK activation to AChR clustering are still poorly understood. Here, we investigate whether lipid rafts are involved in agrin-elicited AChR clustering in a mouse C2C12 cell line. We observed that in C2C12 myotubes, both AChR clustering and cluster stability were dependent on cholesterol, because depletion by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin inhibited cluster formation or dispersed established clusters. Importantly, AChR clusters resided in ordered membrane domains, a biophysical property of rafts, as probed by Laurdan two-photon fluorescence microscopy. We isolated detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) by three different biochemical procedures, all of which generate membranes with similar cholesterol/GM1 ganglioside contents, and these were enriched in several postsynaptic components, notably AChR, syntrophin, and raft markers flotillin-2 and caveolin-3. Agrin did not recruit AChRs into DRMs, suggesting that they are present in rafts independently of agrin activation. Consequently, in C2C12 myotubes, agrin likely triggers AChR clustering or maintains clusters through the coalescence of lipid rafts. These data led us to propose a model in which lipid rafts play a pivotal role in the assembly of the postsynaptic membrane at the neuromuscular junction upon agrin signaling.

Abstract
One important element that defines cell shape is the membrane skeleton. This filamentous network is closely apposed to the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane where it gives mechanical support to the membrane, provides specific attachment sites for cytoskeletal components and helps to organize some integral membrane proteins into domains. The membrane skeleton of erythrocytes has been studied extensively by biochemical and ultrastructural methods, but similar structures in other cell types are just beginning to be defined. In this review, David Pumplin and Robert Bloch draw attention to these nonerythroid skeletons and compare and contrast them with the erythrocyte model.

Abstract
Acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) are present at the top of the postsynaptic membrane of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) at very high density, possibly anchored to cytoskeletal elements. The present study investigated whether AChR degradation is affected in animals lacking dystrophin, a protein that is an integral part of the cytoskeletal complex and is missing in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The animal model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the mutant mdx mouse, was used to determine whether disruption of the cytoskeleton, caused by the absence of dystrophin, affects AChR degradation. Of the two populations of junctional AChRs, Rs (expressed in innervated adult muscles) and Rr (expressed in embryonic or denervated muscles), only Rs are affected in mdx animals. In innervated mdx soleus, diaphragm, and sternomastoid muscles, the AChRs have an accelerated degradation rate (t1/2 of approximately 3-5 d), similar to that acquired by Rs in control muscles after denervation. The Rs in mdx NMJs do not accelerate further when the muscles are denervated. The absence of dystrophin does not affect the degradation rate of the Rr AChRs (t1/2 of 1 d), which are expressed after denervation in mdx as in control muscles. These results suggest that dystrophin or an intact cytoskeletal complex may be required for neuronal stabilization of Rs receptors at the adult neuromuscular junctions.

Abstract
Reciprocal signals between the motor axon and myofiber induce structural and functional differentiation in the developing neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Elevation of presynaptic acetylcholine (ACh) release on nerve-muscle contact and the correlated increase in axonal-free calcium are triggered by unidentified membrane molecules. Restriction of axon growth to the developing NMJ and formation of active zones for ACh release in the presynaptic terminal may be induced by molecules in the synaptic basal lamina, such as S-laminin, heparin binding growth factors, and agrin. Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) synthesis by muscle cells may be increased by calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), ascorbic acid, and AChR-inducing activity (ARIA)/heregulin, which is the best-established regulator. Heparin binding growth factors, proteases, adhesion molecules, and agrin all may be involved in the induction of AChR redistribution to form postsynaptic-like aggregates. However, the strongest case has been made for agrin's involvement. "Knockout" experiments have implicated agrin as a primary anterograde signal for postsynaptic differentiation and muscle-specific kinase (MuSK), as a putative agrin receptor. It is likely that both presynaptic and postsynaptic differentiation are induced by multiple molecular signals. Future research should reveal the physiological roles of different molecules, their interactions, and the identity of other molecular participants.

Abstract
I used immunogold labeling and quick-freeze, deep-etch, rotary replication to characterize the membrane skeleton at regions with high concentrations of acetylcholine receptor domains in receptor clusters of cultured rat muscle cells. This membrane skeleton consists of a network of filaments closely applied to the cytoplasmic membrane surface. The filaments are specifically decorated by immunogold labeling with a monoclonal antibody, VIIF7, that recognizes an isoform of beta-spectrin colocalizing with acetylcholine receptors. The filaments are 32 +/- 11 nm in length and three to four filaments (average 3.1-3.3) join at each intersection to form the network. These parameters are nearly identical to those reported previously for the membrane skeleton of erythrocytes. Depending on the amount of platinum coating, filament diameters range from 9 to 11 nm in diameter, and are 1.4 nm larger on average than spectrin filaments of erythrocytes replicated at the same time. Filaments are decorated with gold particles close to one end, consistent with the location of the epitope recognized by the monoclonal antibody. Computer modeling shows that all filament intersections in the membrane skeletal network are equally capable of being labeled by the monoclonal antibody. This pattern of labeling is consistent with a network containing antiparallel homodimers of beta-spectrin.

Abstract
The 43 kDa AChR-associated protein rapsyn is required for the clustering of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) at the developing neuromuscular junction, but the functions of other postsynaptic proteins colocalized with the AChR are less clear. Here we use a fibroblast expression system to investigate the role of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) in AChR clustering. The agrin-binding component of the DGC, dystroglycan, is found evenly distributed across the cell surface when expressed in fibroblasts. However, dystroglycan colocalizes with AChR-rapsyn clusters when these proteins are coexpressed. Furthermore, dystroglycan colocalizes with rapsyn clusters even in the absence of AChR, indicating that rapsyn can cluster dystroglycan and AChR independently. Immunofluorescence staining using a polyclonal antibody to utrophin reveals a lack of staining of clusters, suggesting that the immunoreactive species, like the AChR, does not mediate the observed rapsyndystroglycan interaction. Rapsyn may therefore be a molecular link connecting the AChR to the DGC. At the neuromuscular synapse, rapsyn-mediated linkage of the AChR to the cytoskeleton-anchored DGC may underlie AChR cluster stabilization.

Abstract
Acetylcholine receptors (AChR) are associated with several peripheral membrane proteins that are concentrated on the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane at the neuromuscular junction, and at aggregates of AChR that form in vitro. We tested the linkage among these proteins by inducing microaggregation of AChR, then determining if a given peripheral membrane protein accumulated with the receptors in microaggregates. In most experiments, we used isolated membrane fragments that are rich in AChR and accessible to antibodies against intracellular antigens. We showed that the 43 kD receptor-associated protein always aggregated with AChR, whether microaggregation was driven by antibodies to the 43 kD protein, or to the receptor itself. Antibodies to the 58 kD receptor-associated protein also always aggregated the 58 kD protein with the receptor. Our results are consistent with a model for AChR-rich membrane in which the 43 kD and 58 kD proteins are both closely associated with the AChR. When we induced microaggregation in intact muscle cells with anti-AChR antibodies, our results were less definitive. The 43 kD receptor-associated protein microaggregated with AChR, but the 58 kD protein was not especially enriched at AChR microaggregates. We discuss the advantages of using isolated AChR-rich membrane fragments to study the association of AChR with peripheral membrane proteins.

Abstract
We studied the organization of acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clusters by shearing cultured Xenopus muscle cells with a stream of buffer, and preparing rotary replicas of the exposed cytoplasmic surface of the sarcolemma. AChR clusters contained numerous particles that protruded from the sarcolemma and formed an irregular array composed of discrete aggregates. AChR were located within these particle aggregates, as shown by comparison of the replicas to labeling by fluorescent alpha-bungarotoxin, and by immunogold cytochemistry with antibodies specific for the receptor. The aggregates were cross-linked by a dense network of 7 nm filaments that replicated with the banded pattern characteristic of actin microfilaments. The organization of receptors into the small aggregates was independent of the organization of these aggregates into clusters, as alkaline extraction removed the microfilament network and disrupted the irregular array of particle aggregates, but did not disperse individual receptors from the aggregates. We conclude that two levels of interactions organize AChR clusters in Xenopus muscle cells: short-range interactions that assemble individual AChR into small aggregates, and long-range interactions, perhaps mediated by actin microfilaments, that anchor the aggregates into larger clusters.

Abstract
Syntrophin, a 58 kd extrinsic membrane protein, is concentrated at postsynaptic sites at the neuromuscular junction and may be involved in clustering acetylcholine receptors. In muscle and nonmuscle tissues, syntrophin is associated with dystrophin, utrophin, and two homologs of the dystrophin carboxy-terminal region. We have isolated three cDNAs encoding Torpedo and mouse syntrophins. The Torpedo cDNA encodes a full-length protein, and on Northern blots recognizes a 3.5 kb mRNA. The two mouse syntrophin cDNAs are products of separate genes but encode proteins that share 50% identity. Syntrophin-1 mRNA (2.2 kb) is expressed at highest levels in skeletal muscle. Syntrophin-2 mRNAs (2.2, 5.0, and 10 kb) are expressed in all mouse tissues examined. These patterns of expression suggest that syntrophin-1 and syntrophin-2 may associate with different members of the dystrophin family.

Abstract
The physiological importance of protein kinase C during oligodendrocyte progenitor maturation was investigated by analyzing the effects of the protein kinase C activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA) on the morphology, proliferation, and differentiation of oligodendrocytes at sequential stages of development. Monoclonal antibodies A2B5 and O4 were used to identify the A2B5+O4- and the A2B5+O4+ galactocerebroside- progenitor stages. Anti-galactocerebroside and anti-myelin basic protein were used to identify mature, post-mitotic oligodendrocytes. Proliferation was measured by bromodeoxyuridine incorporation. Within 24 hr after addition, TPA induced a down-regulation of the O4 antigen in OL progenitors, and an increase of expression of the intermediate filament protein vimentin, leading to a phenotypic reversion from the vimentin-A2B5+O4+ phenotype to the less mature vimentin+A2B5+O4- stage. Concomitantly, TPA induced an increase in the number of bromodeoxyuridine-labeled oligodendrocyte progenitors and extensive process elongation. The response of O4+ progenitors was transient. Even with continued exposure to TPA, by 4 days after TPA addition the reverted cells ceased proliferation, reacquired O4 immunoreactivity, became vimentin-negative, and began to express galactocerebroside and myelin basic protein, and to display the complex, highly branched morphology characteristic of terminally differentiated oligodendrocytes. These results indicate that modulation of protein kinase C activity by TPA induces a transient reversion of O4+ progenitors to less mature O4- cells, causing a transient inhibition of terminal differentiation. The relationship of these data to similar responses of the OL lineage to specific growth factors and implications for remyelination after pathologic injury are discussed.

Abstract
The developing neuromuscular junction has provided an important paradigm for studying synapse formation. An outstanding feature of neuromuscular differentiation is the aggregation of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) at high density in the postsynaptic membrane. While AChR aggregation is generally believed to be induced by the nerve, the mechanisms underlying aggregation remain to be clarified. A 43-kD protein (43k) normally associated with the cytoplasmic aspect of AChR clusters has long been suspected of immobilizing AChRs by linking them to the cytoskeleton. In recent studies, the AChR clustering activity of 43k has, at last, been demonstrated by expressing recombinant AChR and 43k in non-muscle cells. Mutagenesis of 43k has revealed distinct domains within the primary structure which may be responsible for plasma membrane targeting and AChR binding. Other lines of study have provided clues as to how nerve-derived (extracellular) AChR-cluster inducing factors such as agrin might activate 43k-driven postsynaptic membrane specialization.
