Abstract
We studied the influence of DMSO administered ad libitum with drinking water in concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, and 1% for 4 and 6 weeks on pain sensitivity, motor coordination, and myelin content in the corpus callosum of C57BL/6 mice. After 6-week administration, DMSO in all studied concentrations decreased myelin content in the corpus callosum. Moreover, 4-week administration of 0.1% DMSO and 6-week administration of 1% DMSO increased the latency to fall in the rotarod test by 3.1 (p<0.05) and 5.1 (p<0.001) times, respectively. After 4-week administration of DMSO in concentrations of 0.01 and 0.1%, the latency of the tail flick response increased by 2.1 (p<0.05) and 1.8 times (p<0.001), respectively. Administration of DMSO in concentrations of 0.01 and 1% for 6 weeks led to a decrease of this parameter by 2.7 (p<0.05) and 3.8 times (p<0.01), respectively. Thus, DMSO in all studied concentrations decreased myelin content in the corpus callosum of C57BL/6 mice and modified motor coordination and pain sensitivity of animals.

Abstract
In recent years, cells provided by cell banks and medical facilities have been used for cell therapy, regenerative therapy, and fundamental research. Cryopreservation is an effective means of maintaining stable cell quality over a long period of time. The slow freezing method is most suitable for processing many human cells isolated simultaneously from organs and tissues, but it is necessary to develop a freezing solution for this method. In this study, we report the successful development of a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-free freezing medium for differentiated neuronal cells. Neuronal differentiation results in the differentiation of undifferentiated SK-N-SH cells into neuronal cells. A basic freezing medium (BFM) was prepared using Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium, 1 M maltose, and 1% sericin as the essential ingredients, supplemented with 5%-40% propylene glycol (PG). Each BFM supplemented with 5%-40% PG was evaluated in undifferentiated cells. After thawing, BFM supplemented with 10% and 20% PG were 83% and 88% viable, respectively. There was no significant difference between the 10% and 20% PG groups. However, a significant difference was observed when the concentration of PG in the BFM decreased by 5% (5% PG vs. 10% PG; p = 0.0026). Each DMSO-free BFM was evaluated using differentiated neuronal cells. There was no significant difference between the 10% PG BFM and stem-CB-free groups. Viability was significantly different in the 10% glycerol BFM (4.8%) and 10% PG BFM (45%) (p = 0.028). The differentiated cells with 10% PG BFM showed higher adherence to culture dishes than those with 10% glycerol BFM. These results show that BFM containing PG was effective in differentiating neuronal cells. DMSO affects the central nervous system at low concentrations. This report indicates that DMSO is unsuitable for neuronal cells with multipotent differentiation potential. Therefore, it is essential for cell banking and transplantation medicine services to select appropriate cell freezing media.

Effect of Escitalopram on the Number of DCX-Positive Cells and NMUR2 Receptor Expression in the Rat Hippocampus under the Condition of NPSR Receptor Blockade. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:631. [PMID: 35631458 PMCID: PMC9143903 DOI: 10.3390/ph15050631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuropeptide S (NPS) is a multifunctional regulatory factor that exhibits a potent anxiolytic activity in animal models. However, there are no reports dealing with the potential molecular interactions between the activity of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and NPS signaling, especially in the context of adult neurogenesis and the expression of noncanonical stress-related neuropeptides such as neuromedin U (NMU). The present work therefore focused on immunoexpression of neuromedin U receptor 2 (NMUR2) and doublecortin (DCX) in the rat hippocampus after acute treatment with escitalopram and in combination with selective neuropeptide S receptor (NPSR) blockade. METHODS Studies were carried out on adult, male Sprague-Dawley rats that were divided into five groups: animals injected with saline (control) and experimental individuals treated with escitalopram (at single dose 10 mg/kg daily), escitalopram + SHA-68, a selective NPSR antagonist (at single dose 40 mg/kg), SHA-68 alone, and corresponding vehicle control. All animals were sacrificed under halothane anaesthesia. The whole hippocampi were quickly excised, fixed, and finally sliced for general qualitative immunohistochemical assessment of the NPSR and NMUR2 expression. The number of immature neurons was enumerated using immunofluorescent detection of doublecortin (DCX) expression within the subgranular zone (SGZ). RESULTS Acute escitalopram administration affects the number of DCX and NMUR2-expressing cells in the adult rat hippocampus. A decreased number of DCX-expressing neuroblasts after treatment with escitalopram was augmented by SHA-68 coadministration. CONCLUSIONS Early pharmacological effects of escitalopram may be at least partly connected with local NPSR-related alterations of neuroblast maturation in the rat hippocampus. Escitalopram may affect neuropeptide and DCX-expression starting even from the first dose. Adult neurogenesis may be regulated via paracrine neuropeptide S and NMU-related signaling.

Abstract
Domestic pigs have become increasingly popular as a model for human diseases such as neurological diseases. Drug discovery platforms have increasingly been used to identify novel compounds that combat neurodegeneration. Currently, bioactive molecules such as melatonin have been demonstrated to offer a neuroprotective effect in several studies. However, a neurodegenerative platform to study novel compounds in a porcine model has not been fully established. In this study, characterized porcine induced neural stem cells (iNSCs) were used for evaluation of the protective effect of melatonin against chemical and pathogenic stimulation. First, the effects of different concentrations of melatonin on the proliferation of porcine iNSCs were studied. Second, porcine iNSCs were treated with the appropriate concentration of melatonin prior to induced degeneration with dimethyl sulfoxide or Zika virus (ZIKV). The results demonstrated that the percentages of Ki67 expression in porcine iNSCs cultured in 0.1, 1, and 10 nM melatonin were not significantly different from that in the control groups. Melatonin at 1 nM protected porcine iNSCs from DMSO-induced degeneration, as confirmed by a dead cell exclusion assay and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) analysis. In addition, pretreatment with melatonin reduced the percentage of dead porcine iNSCs after ZIKV infection. Melatonin increased the ΔΨm, resulting in a decrease in cell degeneration. However, pretreatment with melatonin was unable to suppress ZIKV replication in porcine iNSCs. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated the anti-degenerative effect of melatonin against DMSO- and ZIKV-induced degeneration in porcine iNSCs.

Abstract
Notch-Delta signaling regulates many developmental processes, including tissue homeostasis and maintenance of stem cells. Upon interaction of juxtaposed cells via Notch and Delta proteins, intracellular domains of both transmembrane proteins are cleaved and translocate to the nucleus. Notch intracellular domain activates target gene expression; however, the role of the Delta intracellular domain remains elusive. Here, we show the biological function of Delta like 1 intracellular domain (D1ICD) by modulating its production. We find that the sustained production of D1ICD abrogates cell proliferation but enhances neurogenesis in the developing dorsal root ganglia (DRG), whereas inhibition of D1ICD production promotes cell proliferation and gliogenesis. D1ICD acts as an integral component of lateral inhibition mechanism by inhibiting Notch activity. In addition, D1ICD promotes neurogenesis in a Notch signaling-independent manner. We show that D1ICD binds to Erk1/2 in neural crest stem cells and inhibits the phosphorylation of Erk1/2. In summary, our results indicate that D1ICD regulates DRG development by modulating not only Notch signaling but also the MAP kinase pathway.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve injury is a common consequence of trauma with low regenerative potential. Electroconductive scaffolds can provide appropriate cell growth microenvironments and synergistic cell guidance cues for nerve tissue engineering. In the present study, electrically conductive scaffolds were prepared by conjugating poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT-PSS) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-treated PEDOT-PSS on electrospun silk scaffolds. Conductance could be tuned by the coating concentration and was further boosted by DMSO treatment. Analogue NG108-15 neuronal cells were cultured on the scaffolds to evaluate neuronal cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. Cellular viability was maintained on all scaffold groups while showing comparatively better metabolic activity and proliferation than neat silk. DMSO-treated PEDOT-PSS functionalized scaffolds partially outperformed their PEDOT-PSS counterparts. Differentiation assessments suggested that these PEDOT-PSS assembled silk scaffolds could support neurite sprouting, indicating that they show promise to be used as a future platform to restore electrochemical coupling at the site of injury and preserve normal nerve function.

Abstract
Mechanical strength of polymeric scaffolds deteriorates quickly in the physiological mileu. This can be minimized by reinforcing the polymeric matrix with graphene, a planar two-dimensional material with unique physicochemical and biological properties. Association between the sheet and polymer chains offers a range of porosity commensurate with tissue requirements. Besides, studies suggest that corrugated structure of graphene offers desirable bio-mechanical cues for tissue regeneration. This review covers three important aspects of graphene-polymer composites, (a) the opportunity on reinforcing the polymer matrix with graphene, (b) challenges associated with limited aqueous processability of graphene, and (c) physiological signaling in the presence of graphene. Among numerous graphene materials, our discussion is limited to graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets. Challenges associated with limited dispersity of hydrophobic sheets within the polymeric matrix have been discussed at molecular level.
