▼ Extracellular nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (NTPDases) are enzymes that reduce the extracellular nucleotide signal and inactivate the purinogenic signalling pathway. These enzymes, in the presence of a divalent cation sequentially hydrolyses the γ- and β- phosphoanhydride bond from a range of nucleotide di- or triphosphates to the corresponding nucleotide monophosphate.
There is evidence that purinogenic signalling is present in higher plants and it is becoming clear that NTPDases play a role in the early stages of rhizobium infection during nodulation in legumes. To further our understanding of NTPDases, this study investigated the biochemical and structural characteristics of two legume NTPDases believed to be involved in nodulation. The first, 7WC, was isolated from the roots of white clover and the second, DbLnP, from the roots of Dolichos biflorus. DbLnP has been characterised as a carbohydrate binding NTPDase that is directly associated with the perception of rhizobia. Using X-ray crystallography a number of crystal structures of 7WC and DbLnP were determined at resolutions between 1.9 Å and 2.9 Å. For 7WC, structures were determined for an apo- form, an AMP-bound and also bound with the nonhydrolysable
ATP analogue AMPPNP. For DbLnP structures were solved with phosphate and Mn2+ bound and another with AMPPNP and Mn2+ bound. Kinetic analysis of a range of substrates together with the analysis of the binding modes of 7WC and DbLnP explained substrate preference for each of the NTPDases.
These analyses showed that NTPDases can adopt two conformations depending on substrate and co-factor binding. The central hinge region creates a ‘butterfly’ motion of the domains that reduces the width of the active site cleft. This phenomenon has been previously hypothesised but has not been observed for NTPDases.
A model of catalysis is proposed whereby the ‘open’ form first binds substrate in an inactive orientation. Binding of the metal ion induces a conformational change that brings the domains together and allows movement of the phosphate tail deeper into the active site cleft – a reorganisation that is required for catalysis. Hydrolysis occurs via nucleophilic attack on the terminal phosphate. Finally, release of the metal ion allows the ‘open’ conformation to be restored for subsequent catalysis to occur.

▼ The ImmuKnow® uses complete fresh blood to measure the intracellular
ATP production. The technique cannot be doing in samples older than 30 hours after the extraction, as manufacturer instructions indicate. Complete blood samples are too labile. The techniques doing in complete blood samples must be processed quickly before they decay. This sometimes complicates the laboratory work when the number of samples to analyse is high. This work is based in the research of kinds of storage that permit analyse the samples at any time without lose its predictive capacity.

▼ Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the universal chemical
energy currency in most living cells, used to power many cellular
reactions and generated by an enzyme supercomplex known as the ATP
synthase, consisting of a hydrophilic F1 subcomplex and a
membrane-bound FO subcomplex. Driven by the electrochemical
gradient generated by the respiratory or photosynthetic electron
transport chain, the rotation of the FO domain drives movements of
the central stalk in response to conformational changes in the F1
domain, in which the physical energy is converted into chemical
energy through the condensation of ADP and Pi to ATP. The exact
mechanism how ATP synthesis is coupled to proton translocation is
not known as no structure of the intact ATP-synthase nor the intact
FO subcomplex has been determined to date. Structural information
may shed light on these mechanisms and aid in understanding how
structural changed relate to its coupling to ATP synthesis. The
work in this thesis has successful established a defined
large-scale CF1FO isolation procedure resulting in high purity and
high yield of this complex from spinach thylakoid membranes by
incorporating a unique combination of biochemical methods will form
the basis for the subsequent structural determination of this
complex. Isolation began from the isolation of intact chloroplasts
and the separation of intact thylakoid membranes. Both native and
denaturing electrophoresis analyses clearly demonstrated that the
purified CF1FO retains its quaternary structure consisting of the
CF1 and CFO subcomplexes and nine subunits (five F1 subunits: α, β,
γ, δ and ε, and four FO subunits: a, b, b' and c). Moreover, both
ATP synthesis and hydrolysis activities were successfully detected
using protein reconstitution in combination with acid-base
incubation and in-gel ATPase assays, respectively. Furthermore, the
ATP-synthase of H. modesticaldum, an anaerobic photosynthetic
bacterium, was also isolated and characterized at the biochemical
level. These biochemical characterizations directly influenced
recent studies on the high-resolution structure determination of
intact CF1FO using electron crystallography on two-dimensional
crystals. The availability of the functionally intact CF1FO
purified at a large scale will lead to studies that investigate the
possible crystallization conditions to ultimately determine its
three-dimensional structure at atomic resolution.

▼ Microglia, the resident immune cells of the central
nervous system (CNS), become activated in response to danger
signals given out by other cells when homeostasis has been
disturbed. Microglial activation is a multifaceted phenomenon that
includes numerous distinct phenotypes. The type of activation often
influences the survival of surrounding CNS tissue, and thus gaining
a better understanding of how microglial activation is regulated
has important therapeutic implications. Currently, it is known that
the phenotype of activated microglia depends on both the type of
CNS insult and the specific activating agent. The aim of this
thesis was to investigate the potential involvement of other
determining factors. Extrinsic regulators of microglial activation,
including the severity of CNS insult and the stimulation strength
of activating agents, were examined. Intrinsic differences among
different microglial populations, namely differences in region of
origin and age of origin, were also investigated. To study
microglial behavior without interference from other cells, rat
primary cultures were used as the system of study. With regard to
extrinsic factors, it was found that different severities of
hypoxic neuronal injury induced distinct microglial phenotypes.
Among the activating agents released by injured neurons, adenosine
5’-triphosphate (ATP) was studied in isolation and was found to
induce trophic and toxic effectors in microglia depending on the
strength of ATP stimulation. In regards to intrinsic factors, it
was found that microglia derived from different regions of the
brain had distinct responses to activators, with cortical and
hippocampal microglia generating more toxic responses than
brainstem, striatal, and thalamic microglia. Microglia derived from
various ages of origin also responded differentially to activators,
with neonatal and aged microglia being more reactive than microglia
derived from other age groups. Together, the results here present
several novel concepts, that the phenotype of activated microglia
are dependent not only on the type of activating stimulus, but the
strength of that stimulus, and that in addition to stimuli from
other cells, the regional and age differences among microglia
themselves are also crucial in determining their activation
phenotype.

ATP and central respiratory control: a three-part signaling

(more)
▼ ATP actions on central inspiratory networks are
determined by a three-part signaling system comprising: i)
excitatory actions of ATP at P2 receptors (Rs) ii)
ectonucleotidases that degrade ATP into adenosine (ADO), and iii)
inhibitory actions of ADO at P1Rs. During hypoxia, an initial
increase in ventilation is followed by a secondary depression that
is life threatening in premature infants. The release of ATP in
respiratory networks, including the preBötzinger Complex (preBötC,
inspiratory rhythm generation site) attenuates this secondary
ventilatory depression. However, subsequent degradation of ATP to
ADO may exacerbate the depression. The objective of my thesis
research is to explore the significance of this three-part
signaling system for preBötC networks in rodents using rhythmically
active medullary slices from rats and mice, primary cultures of
preBötC glia, and anesthetized adult rats. In neonatal rats in
vitro, injection of ATP into the preBötC evokes an increase in
inspiratory breathing frequency via a P2Y1R mechanism that involves
both neurons and glia. Analysis of cultured preBötC glia suggests
that P2Y1R stimulation evokes an increase in Ca2+ and release of
glutamate, which excites inspiratory neurons. In contrast,
injection of ATP into the preBötC of rhythmic slices from neonatal
mice evokes a P2Y1R-mediated frequency increase if A1 ADORs are
blocked. In contrast to rats, neonatal mice are sensitive to ADO
inhibition of preBötC frequency and have higher expression of the
ectonucleotidase TNAP (an enzyme that degrades ATP to ADO). A
delicate balance between P2R actions and P1R actions modulates the
preBötC network of neonatal rodents. Purinergic signaling also
influences the activity of mature preBötC networks in adult rats.
Injection of a P2Y1R agonist into the preBötC evoked a 40% increase
in respiratory frequency while ADO injection had no effect. As
predicted based on the proposed role of ATP in attenuating the
secondary hypoxic ventilatory depression, the increase of
endogenous ectonucleotidase activity in the preBötC (via injection
of a lentivirus controlling expression of the enzyme TMPAP)
produced a greater secondary hypoxic ventilatory depression
compared to control. This work lays the foundation for future
research examining the importance of glia and purinergic modulation
within the rhythmogenic inspiratory network.

▼ Women have been a part of aviation since its inception, yet they have been traditionally underrepresented in the ranks of commercial pilots. This study explored what role mentoring played in the lives and careers of female Airline Transport Pilots (
ATP). Participants completed a modified version of the Mentor Role Instrument (MRI) developed by Ragins and McFarlin.
It was determined that there was no statistically significant difference between female
ATP who had been mentored and those who had not. Of the female
ATP who had been mentored, those who reported an informal mentoring relationship rated their relationship higher than those who reported a formal mentoring relationship when it came to career oriented assistance and advice. The results for mentoring factors related to psychosocial needs and activities are less certain, but the preponderance of evidence supports the assertion that those female
ATP who reported an informal mentoring relationship were more satisfied in these areas than their formal mentor counterparts.

▼ textabstractAdenosine, a strong coronary vasodilator, is a breakdown
product of the myocardial high-energy phosphate ATP. ATP serves as
the direct energy source for contraction of the heart. Chapter 1 of
this thesis gives a general introduction on contractility dependent
ATP-breakdown, the ATP-generating metabolism of the heart and the
mechanism which leads to adenosine formation. The applications of
purine biochemistry to cardiovascular research are summarized. The in vitro characteristics of other enzymes of purine
metabolism (AMP-deaminase and S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase) are
reported. Additional perfusion studies with specific inhibitors
suggest a significant contribution by these enzymes to myocardial
purine formation during normoxia (Appendix Papers II and IV) .
Several lines of evidence suggest that the purines released from
isolated rat hearts are in part degradation products of IMP or GMP
instead of AMP. This appears to be especially so during normoxia.
If hypoxanthine or inosine are added to the myocardial
perfusate, they are slowly incorporated into the ATP-pool of the
heart. The incorporation rate is increased after a previous
ischemic period and can be further stimulated by simultaneous
infusion of ribose.
Evidence is presented that increased adenosine formation is
directly related to increased formation of AMP (e.g., from ATP).
The old hypothesis that adenosine is constantly produced at a high
rate and nearly simultaneously reincorporated into AMP appears to
be unrealistic. The results suggest an even tighter coupling of
adenosine and purine release to the myocardial energy state than
had already been assumed. A minor disbalance between ATP-breakdown
and ATP-production will lead to increased adenosine and purine
release and will eventually lead to significant loss of ATP and
myocardial function. Some of the experiments point to ways of
breaking through this vicious circle by defining conditions for
enhanced myocardial ATP-repletion and possible restoration of
function during reperfusion

ATP DNS modellnek is tekinthető, így fiziológiás pH-n az esetlegesen kialakuló komplexek nagy stabilitásából arra következtethetünk, hogy a rákos sejtek DNS-ében is kialakulnak a komplexek, így megakadályozva a sejtek szaporodását, növekedését esetlegesen a sejtek pusztulásához is vezethetnek.
A ruténium, mint platinafém tulajdonságaiban hasonló a platinához, így a tudósok úgy vélik, hogy ruténium tartalmú készítmények vizsgálata érdekes új eredményeket hozhat a rák kezelésével kapcsolatos ismeretek bővítésében. Ennek okán vizsgáltam a [(η6-p-cym)Ru(H2O)3]2+-ion (továbbiakban Ru(II)ion) komplexképzését

▼ Active glia-neuron interactions are crucial for the proper development and function of the nervous system. Bidirectional communication between neurons and glial cells has been shown to have modulatory effects on neuronal signaling. The exact mechanisms which glial cells employ to influence the behavior of neurons have not been fully understood. In the vertebrate retina, extracellular pH can act as a modulator of neuronal signaling by altering the activity of calcium channels, particularly on photoreceptor terminals. Experiments have demonstrated that when the pH of the extracellular medium is lowered to more acidic values, the calcium flux into photoreceptors is lessened. The exact cell type, which mediates these changes in extracellular pH, is still debatable with mounting evidence pointing to the role of horizontal cells in this process. This work presents evidence that retina Müller glial cells of tiger salamander are capable of mediating changes in extracellular proton concentration. Müller glia respond to extracellular
ATP with a robust extracellular acidification measured with ion-selective microelectrodes. The mechanism through which these cells change the extracellular acidity involves the activation of membrane
ATP receptors and the mobilization of intracellular signaling molecules with resulting intracellular calcium increases. The
ATP-induced sustained acidifications are observed from isolated Müller glia as well as in retinal slices. Interestingly, Müller cells of the retinae of many other vertebrates tested, including Macaques and human, also respond to extracellular
ATP through acidifications of the extracellular space, suggesting that this is a conserved and potentially physiologically important response. Müller cells respond to extracellular glutamate as well, but the changes in extracellular acidity are opposite of these evoked by
ATP: glutamate induces Müller cell-mediated extracellular transient alkalinization, which seems to be due to the activity of membrane glutamate transporters. In slices, the initial transient alkalinization induced by glutamate is followed by a pronounced, sustained acidification, whose mechanism is independent of the glutamate transporters’ activity. This data suggest Müller glia could potentially play a role in extracellular proton modulation of neuronal activity in the vertebrate retina

▼ Guanylyl cyclase (GC)-A and GC-B are homologous enzymes that catalyze the formation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate and pyrophosphate from GTP. GC-A is activated by atrial natriuretic peptide and B-type natriuretic peptide and regulates the cardiovascular system. GC-B is activated by C-type natriuretic peptide and regulates the skeletal and female reproductive systems. Activation of GC-A and GC-B was hypothesized to occur through two steps, binding of natriuretic peptide and subsequent binding of ATP to the kinase homology domain. However, our group reported that ATP binding does not increase maximal velocity but reduces the Michaelis constant. My work revealed an allosteric ATP binding site in the catalytic domain. Mutation and structure/function studies indicated that the allosteric and catalytic sites are different and that GC-A and GC-B are asymmetric homodimers, not symmetric homodimers as had been previously suggested. Interestingly, a constitutively active mutant of GC-B mimicked an ATP bound state. ATP inhibits soluble guanylyl cyclases (sGC), and I demonstrated that physiological concentrations of ATP inhibit GC-A and GC-B. I went on to determine that the mechanism of inhibition was through binding the pyrophosphate-product site. Together, these data revealed how low and high concentrations of ATP activate and inhibit GC-A and GC-B, respectively.

▼ Opinnäytetyön tavoitteena oli tehdä yksityiskohtainen käyttöohje uuden rasvatehtaan voilinjan CIP- pesuprosessista ja sen toiminnasta sekä ohjauksesta. Käyttöohje tehtiin Valio Oy:n Seinäjoen rasvatehtaalle.
Käyttöohjeen tarkoitus on antaa selkeät toimintaohjeet turvalliseen pesutoimintoon sekä parhaan pesutuloksen saavuttamiseen. Käyttöohje opastaa rutiininomaisesti valvomon työntekijöitä ja yhtenäistää heidän toimintatapojaan. Käyttöohje antaa myös tukea itsenäiseen työskentelyyn valvomossa.
Ennen uuden tehtaan valmistumista pesuprosessin toiminnasta ja ohjauksesta vastasivat kokeneet valvomotyöntekijät. Uuden organisaatiomuutoksen myötä myös voinvalmistajat työskentelevät ajoittain valvomossa, joten käyttöohjeita eri toiminnoista pyydettiin tukemaan heidän valvomotyöskentelyään.
Käyttöohjeen lisäksi työssä perehdyttiin perusteellisemmin elintarvikkeita koskeviin hygieniavaatimuksiin sekä elintarviketeollisuuden kaupalliseen, moraaliseen ja lainmukaiseen velvoitteeseen. Työssä käsiteltiin myös käsitteet: steriili, bakteriologinen sekä kemiallinen puhtaus. Työssä käytiin läpi myös ATP- menetelmällä otettuja puhdistustuloksia voilinjalta, jonka pesuun käyttöohje on tehty.
The object for the thesis was to create a detailed operation manual for operators on CIP washing process in the new butter plant. The manual includes all functions and controls to operate CIP washing process that is used to clean manufacturing lines in the butter plant. The manual was made to Valio PLC, Seinäjoki.
The purpose of the manual is to provide clear instructions for a safe washing process and the best possible washing result. The manual is created to advise operators in the control room and to standardise their way of working. The manual is also made to provide support to operators in the control room.
Before the new plant was built, experienced control room operators were responsible for the control of the CIP washing process. Due to changes in the new organization, now butter makers are responsible for CIP washing process and a well detailed operation manual is needed.
In addition to the operation manual, the thesis studies also food hygiene and commercial, moral and legal obligation of food industry. Also the concepts sterile, bacteriological and chemical cleanliness are handled. The cleanliness tests from butter manufacturing lines taken with ATP- method are part of the thesis as well.

▼ Photocaged adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is one of the earliest examples of exerting spatial-temporal control over the activity of a substrate. The activity of ATP is blocked until near-ultraviolet light exposure photocleaves the cage moiety. Caged ATP has been used for a myriad of applications including kinetic studies of ATP-dependent enzymes. Traditional caging of ATP occurs at the gamma-phosphate, which has been found to competitively inhibit several enzymatic systems. It was hypothesized that blocking access to the adenosine N6 position via cage molecule would prevent the initial enzyme-substrate binding event from occurring prior to photolysis, effectively minimizing competitive inhibition. Utilizing a convertible nucleoside analog of ATP, this work synthesized, purified, and characterized a form of caged ATP which, by attaching the cage molecule to the nucleobase, did not inhibit the enzymatic activity of luciferase in vitro. Characterization was accomplished via UV/Vis spectroscopy, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and mass spectrometry (MS). Base-caged ATP was evaluated in a firefly luciferase enzymatic assay to determine the degree of bioactivity in the caged and photoactivated states and compared to the results of native (uncaged) ATP and gamma-NPE-caged ATP. Photolysis was conducted via 308 nm light from a transilluminator. Base-caged ATP did not inhibit the enzymatic system and the convertible nucleoside synthesis approach offers significant advantages over other caging techniques.

Allosteric regulation of the adenosine triphosphate phosphoribosyltransferase from campylobacter jejuni.

▼ The enzyme adenosine triphosphate phosphoribosyltransferase (ATP-PRT)
catalyses the first reaction of the histidine biosynthetic pathway. ATP-PRT
also represents a metabolic control point, directing the flux of metabolites
through this energetically expensive pathway. Two distinctly different forms
of ATP-PRT exist, the long form and the short form, which differ in the
presence of a C-terminal regulatory domain. In the short form, where this
domain is absent, it is functionally replaced by a regulatory protein, called
HisZ. ATP-PRT activity is modulated by two layers of regulation: active site
inhibition by adenosine monophosphate, which reflects cellular energy levels, and pathway end product feedback inhibition by histidine. In the long form ATP-PRT histidine binds to the allosteric site at the regulatory domain, but the exact nature of the inhibitory mechanism is still debated.
This thesis characterises a new member of the ATP-PRT long form from Campylobacter jejuni (CjeATP-PRT) and investigates the molecular mechanisms involved in the feed back inhibition by histidine.
Chapter 2 describes the characterisation of the CjeATP-PRT including
a detailed description of its crystal structure. The C. jejuni enzyme is similar
to the previously described enzymes of the ATP-PRT long form, but exists
only as hexameric species under experimental conditions, which contradicts
previous assumptions that the hexamer is exclusively inactive.
Chapter 3 investigates the catalytic apparatus of CjeATP-PRT by separating
the catalytic and regulatory domains of the enzyme for individual study. The isolated catalytic portion of the enzyme, the CjeATP-PRT Core mutant, forms a dimeric species with very limited catalytic capabilities but high substrate and product affnities. The CjeATP-PRT Core characteristics suggest that it exists in a permanently inhibited conformation, highlighting
the requirement of the regulatory domain not only for feedback regulation
but also for enzyme function. Additionally this supports the evolutionary
need for the recruitment of a regulatory apparatus.
In chapter 4 a potential intramolecular communication pathway from
the allosteric to the active site is probed by the generation of several single site mutations. One of these, CjeATP-PRT R216A, is completely insensitive to histidine inhibition, although this ligand is still able to bind at the allosteric
site, which is consistent with the involvement of R216 in the allosteric signal
communication. The catalytic abilities of CjeATP-PRT R216A are largely
impaired, leading to the assumption that this mutation causes a permanent
inhibitory response.
In summary this thesis supports the existence of a simple physical regulatorymechanism for the feedback inhibition of the ATP-PRT long form,
the change between two different hexamer conformations depending on the
presence of the allosteric effector.

▼ Extracellular
ATP (eATP) was first identified as a neurotransmitter in animal systems decades ago, but has only recently been classified as a signaling molecule in plants. Previous studies have shown that exogenously applied
ATP can disrupt gravitropism in roots, depolarize root hairs, and alter auxin distribution. These results support a clear role for this molecule as a regulatory signal in plants. To further define eATP as a signal in plants, Ceratopteris spores, a model system, were used to study gravity-directed cell polarization. This polarization begins with the uptake of Ca2+ through channels at the bottom of the spore, a process required for the cell’s gravity response. Previous data showing that mechanosensitive channels can release
ATP and that eATP can induce the opening of Ca2+ channels led to the hypothesis that eATP could play a role in the gravity-directed polarization. Data described in this dissertation show that an eATP gradient, with significantly higher [
ATP] outside the bottom of the cell, is present during and promotes gravity-directed polarization. To explore the link between eATP and Ca2+ in gravity-directed polarization of spores, microparticle bombardment was used to transform Ceratopteris cells with a FRET-based Ca2+ sensor, Yellow Cameleon 3.60. The success of this effort has generated a uniquely valuable tool that can be used to analyze intracellular Ca2+ dynamics and rapidly screen transformants in Ceratopteris, a primitive plant system. In addition to studying the role of eATP signaling in the gravity response of single cells, an assessment of its role in the gravity response of a multicellular system, primary roots of Arabidopsis, was carried out. By using ecto-luciferase-expressing seedlings, a gradient of eATP, with the highest concentration being along the bottom of the root, was visualized within 30 min of gravistimulation. When this gradient was disrupted by excess
ATP or an eATP receptor antagonist, the gravity response was attenuated. These results characterize the role of eATP gradients in the gravity responses of single spore cells of ferns and multicellular primary roots of a flowering plant. They suggest that the preferential accumulation of eATP along the bottom of gravity-responding cells is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism for promoting gravity-directed development.

▼ HCV and HBV infections are leading causes of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma and can induce metabolic dysfunction, which may offer a selective advantage for liver cancer proliferation and survival. The liver is enriched with numerous mitochondria, providing a continuous supply of ATP for a range of cellular activities. The hypothesis of this thesis is that HBV and HCV induce mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic disorders. A range of cell culture models and in vitro techniques were used to test this hypothesis, including the Seahorse analyser to measure mitochondrial function in real time. Mitochondrial function and membrane potential during HCV and HBV infection were decreased, which were independent of mitochondrial biogenesis. HCV infection promotes steatosis due to a combination of viral and host metabolic factors, whereas steatosis during HBV is more variable. Therefore, potential changes in lipid metabolism were investigated in our HCV and HBV models. Impaired lipid oxidation was observed during HCV infection, but not during HBV expression. Perturbation of pyruvate metabolism was proposed as a possible mechanism for mitochondrial dysfunction during HBV expression. No significant change in pyruvate but an increase in lactate concentrations was observed, due to elevated lactate dehydrogenase A, which converts pyruvate to lactate. Proteomics analysis revealed other key proteins involved in pyruvate metabolism to be differentially regulated, including increased levels of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase. In summary, HCV infection causes mitochondrial dysfunction and reduced lipid oxidation, resulting in intracellular accumulation of lipids. In contrast, HBV expression does not affect lipids but alters pyruvate metabolism, causing lactate accumulation and promoting the “Warburg effect”. Thus, although HBV does not cause steatosis, the lactate accumulation and altered cell metabolism may promote the development and progression of liver cancer.

▼ Tyypin 1 diabetes on monimutkainen metabolinen häiriötila, joka aiheuttaa muutoksia solun fysiologiaan, aineenvaihduntaan ja geenien ilmentymiseen. Insuliinin puutoksen tiedetään aiheuttavan hiiren kudoksissa geenisäätelyn häiriintymistä mm. laskemalla mitokondriaalisen elektroninsiirtoketjun proteiinien mRNA-tasoja. Sen sijaan energiaa tuottavan ATP-syntaasin rakenneyksiköiden ilmentyminen diabeteksessa on proteiinitasolla vielä tuntematonta, kuten ilmentymisen vaikutukset itse entsyymikompleksin aktiivisuuteenkin. Tässä väitöskirjatyössä on löydetty ja karakterisoitu ATP-syntaasin Fo kompleksin rakenneproteiini Diabetes Associated Protein in Insulin-sensitive Tissues, DAPIT. Lisäksi sen yli-ilmentymisen vaikutusta solun fysiologiaan on luonnehdittu molekyylibiologisin keinoin diabeettisen ja muun tautiyhteyden selventämiseksi.
Väitöskirja koostuu kolmesta erillisestä osatyöstä. Osatyössä I DD-PCR-, sekvensointi-, Northern blot-menetelmien sekä tietokantahaun avulla löydettiin, nimettiin ja karakterisoitiin uusi proteiini, DAPIT, tyypin 1 diabeettisen rotan insuliiniherkistä kudoksista. Osatyössä II karakterisoitiin erikoisvalmisteinen, DAPITin tunnistava vasta-aine, jonka avulla proteiinin ilmentyminen havainnollistettiin immunohistokemiallisesti useissa rotan ja ihmisen kudoksissa. Lisäksi vahvistettiin DAPITin mitokondriaalinen esiintyminen solutasolla, sekä havaittiin lysosomaalinen ilmentyminen. DAPITin ilmentymistä tutkittiin myös diabeettisen rotan ja hiiren insuliiniherkissä kudoksissa, ja havainnollistettiin sen lihassäie-spesifinen esiintyminen hiiressä. Väitöskirjan osatyössä III geenimuuntelun avulla rakennettiin DAPITia yli-ilmentävä solulinja, jonka mitokondrioita, energia-aineenvaihduntaa, morfologiaa ja käyttäytymisominaisuuksia selvitettiin.
Osatyö I tuotti uuden DAPIT-proteiinin, joka osoittautui konservoituneeksi eläinkunnassa. Terveellä rotalla proteiinin lähetti-RNA ilmeni runsaana mm. insuliiniherkissä kudoskissa. Diabeettisella rotalla lähetti-RNAn ilmentyminen oli alentunut sydämessä ja lihaksessa kontrollikudokseen verrattuna. Osatyössä II DAPITin aminohapposekvenssin karboksyylipäähän suunniteltu vasta-aine tunnisti kohteensa sekä solu- että kudostasolla. Vasta-aineen avulla nähtiin DAPITin erityinen ilmentyminen mitokondrioissa ja lysosomeissa. Aminopäähän suunniteltu vasta-aine ei ollut yhtä luotettava jokaisessa sovelluksessa. Ihmisen ja rotan kudosten immunohistokemiallisessa tutkimuksessa DAPITia esiintyi runsaasti aerobista aineenvaihduntaa hyödyntävissä insuliiniherkissä kudoksissa, sekä aktiivisesti ravinteita ja ioneja kuljettavissa epiteelirakenteissa. Diabeettisen rotan insuliiniherkkien kudosten tutkimus osoitti DAPITin proteiinitason olevan koholla, toisin kuin lähetti-RNA tasolla, sydämessä, lihaksessa ja rasvassa mutta alentunut maksassa normaaliin kudokseen verrattuna. Terveen ja diabeettisen hiiren lihaksessa eroja sen sijaan ei havaittu lihasyhdistelmän runsaan säietyyppivaihtelun vuoksi. Osatyössä III DAPITia aktivoidusti ilmentävässä solulinjassa havaittiin…

▼ The antigenicity of both soluble S. mansoni
ATP diphosphohydrolase and membraneassociated isoforms has been recently described. Cross-immunoreactivity between potato apyrase and IgG antibody from S. mansoni-infected mice or schistosomiasis patients strongly suggested that the epitopes shared between the vegetable and parasite proteins are antigenic. By bioinformatics analysis, a strategic comparative study of the conserved domains shared between the soluble
ATP diphosphohydrolase isoform and potato apyrase predicted a homologue antigenic-domain available for antibody and HLA-DR binding. Synthetic peptides belonging to the domain of the parasite (Sm) and vegetable (pot) proteins were then obtained. By ELISA, the serum samples from the schistosomiasis patients (n= 146) showed high seropositivity of IgG1 (58%) and IgG4 (58%) antibody sub-classes for potato apyrase. Seropositive patients (n= 35) were then selected for analyses of antibody reactivity against the synthetic peptides. Significant seropositivity of IgG (potB1LJ, 9%; potB1MP, 54%; potB2LJ, 54%; SmB1LJ, 23%; SmB1MP, 86%; SmB2LJ, 34%), and IgG1 (potB1LJ, 57%; potB1MP, 67%; potB2LJ, 46%; SmB1LJ, 57%; SmB1MP, 10%; SmB2LJ, 31%) or IgG4 (potB1LJ, 71%; potB1MP, 40%; potB2LJ, 71%; SmB1LJ, 54%; SmB1MP, 63%; SmB2LJ, 49%) was observed for the homologue peptides in accordance with the existence of shared antigenic epitopes between the parasite and vegetable proteins, and demonstrating that in schistosomiasis the domain r155-194 from soluble
ATP diphosphohydrolase isoform is rich in B-cell epitopes. The reactivity of the IgG1 and IgG4 antibody from the serum samples of patients (n= 26) cured after chemotherapy with praziquantel was analyzed against potB1LJ e potB2LJ, before and six months after treatment. Individual analysis revealed variable IgG1 and IgG4 reactivity against each peptide, suggesting that different antigenic epitopes could be involved in susceptibility or resistance to S. mansoni reinfection. By ELISA, polyclonal antibody to potato apyrase of BALB/c or CBA/J mice reacts with potB1LJ, potB1MP and/or potB2LJ. Similar reactivity was also observed between these immune sera and SmB1LJ, SmB1MP and/or SmB2LJ, confirming again the cross-immunoreactivity between parasite and vegetable proteins. In addition, inoculation of each peptide in healthy Swiss mice had significant immunostimulatory activity, increasing the amount of total IgG and/or IgG1 and IgG2a antibody, as observed by ELISA and/or Dot blots, suggesting that each peptide has two distinct epitopes capable of inducing a Th1 or Th2-type immune response. By Western blots, serum immune anti-SmB2LJ recognized two polypeptides of approximately 63 and 55 kDa in SEA or SWAP, indicating the presence of the soluble isoform of
ATP diphosphohydrolase in these antigenic preparations, as well as the sensitivity and specificity of this immune serum. The potato apyrase and potB1LJ were evaluated in delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction (DTH), using ovalbumin (OVA) as standard antigen, by footpad thickness measurement,…

▼ La F1FO-ATP synthase mitochondriale produit la majorité de l’énergie cellulaire chezles eucaryotes aérobes sous forme d’ATP par le processus des oxydations phosphorylantes.Chez la plupart des espèces, cette enzyme possède une origine génétique double, nucléaire etmitochondriale. Dans la première partie de ce travail, je décris la construction de modèles delevure de mutations du gène mitochondrial ATP6 de l’ATP synthase découvertes chez despatients atteints de maladies neurologiques (9185T>C and 9191T>C) ou dans des tumeurs(8716A>G, 8914C>A, 8932C>T, 8953A>G and 9131T>C). Le gène ATP6 code une sousunitéessentielle (a/6) du domaine FO de l’ATP synthase. J’ai trouvé que la mutation 9185T>Cn’affecte pas l’assemblage de l’ATP synthase, mais conduit à une diminution de la vitesse desynthèse d’ATP d’environ 30%. La mutation 9191T>C empêche presque entièrementl’incorporation de la sous-unité a/6 dans l’ATP synthase. Les cinq mutations identifiées dansles tumeurs ont un effet modeste à nul, indiquant que ces mutations ne favorisent pas latumorigenèse en affectant le processus énergétique mitochondrial, comme évoquéprécédemment. J’ai ensuite étudié la régulation de la synthèse des sous-unités a/6 et 9 dans lesmitochondries de levures. La sous-unité 9 est présente sous la forme d’un anneau de 10 copiesqui interagit avec la sous-unité 6. Durant la catalyse, la rotation de cet anneau provoque deschangements conformationnels favorisant la synthèse d’ATP dans le secteur F1 de l’ATPsynthase. Je montre que la synthèse de ces protéines est couplée à leur assemblage, demanière à ce qu’elles soient produites dans une stoechiométrie adéquate et pour éviterl’accumulation d’intermédiaires d’ATP synthase potentiellement délétères
Mitochondrial F1FO-ATP synthase produces most of the cellular energy in aerobiceukaryotes under the form of ATP in the process of oxidative phosphorylation. This enzymehas in most species a double genetic origin, nuclear and mitochondrial. In the first part of thiswork, I describe the construction of yeast models of ATP synthase mutations in themitochondrial ATP6 gene, that have been found in patients presenting with neurologicaldisorders (9185T>C and 9191T>C) and in tumors (8716A>G, 8914C>A, 8932C>T,8953A>G and 9131T>C). The ATP6 gene encodes an essential subunit (called a/6) of theATP synthase proton-translocating domain (FO). The 9185T>C mutation had no effect on theassembly of ATP synthase, but reduces the rate of ATP synthesis by 30%. The 9191T>Cmutation almost completely prevented incorporation of the subunit a/6 into the ATP synthase.The five mutations found in tumors had modest, if at all, effect, indicating that thesemutations probably do not favor tumorigenesis, as was hypothesized. In the second part of mythesis, I studied the regulation of synthesis of subunits a/6 and 9 in yeast mitochondria. Thesubunit 9 is present in 10 copies forming a ring that interacts with subunit 6. Protonmovements through the FO induce the rotation of the subunit 9-ring, which results inconformational changes that promote…

▼ Methode: Bei Wildtyp- (WT-) und P2Y2-Knockout-
(KO-) Mäusen wurde durch 5/6-Nephrektomie (SNx) eine
Niereninsuffizienz induziert. Bei Kontrollgruppen wurden die Nieren
in situ belassen (Sham). Postoperativ erfaßte klinische und
laborchemische Parameter dokumentierten den Verlauf der
Nierenfunktion. Ergebnis: Die Sham-Gruppen zeigten keine
signifikant verschiedenen Tendenzen. Die SNx-Tiere wiesen hingegen
neben einer gegenüber den Sham-Gruppen signifikant schlechteren
Nierenfunktion auch untereinander deutliche Differenzen auf: Für
die SNx-KO-Mäuse wurde anhand von zum Beispiel Serumharnstoff,
Kreatinin-Clearance und systolischem Blutdruck eine signifikant
ausgeprägtere Niereninsuffizienz als bei den SNx-WT-Mäusen
ermittelt. Diskussion: Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt, daß dem
P2Y2-Rezeptor im Rahmen einer renalen Schädigung möglicherweise
eine protektive Rolle zukommt.

▼ Conceitos prévios, ou alternativos, são ideias introjetadas no universo cognitivo dos estudantes que diferem daqueles credenciados pela ciência estabelecida. São bastante estudadas as consequências da presença deste tipo de conceitos para o aprendizado. Entre outras dificuldades provocadas pelos conceitos alternativos está a impossibilidade de utilizá-los para embasar novos conhecimentos. Nestas condições, incapazes de decodificar apropriadamente as novas informações apresentadas pelas disciplinas, os alunos são inconscientemente encaminhados para a memorização. A origem dos conceitos prévios é variada. Uma das causas já detectadas é a precariedade da transposição didática, feita pelos autores dos livros textos ou por docentes. Uma das moléculas fundamentais para os estudos bioquímicos é a adenosina trifosfato (ATP), que desempenha múltiplas funções. Uma das principais é participar de processos que requerem energia. A compreensão do papel desta molécula é fundamental para o entendimento dos processos dos quais ela participa. Um dos objetivos do presente trabalho foi investigar equívocos sobre o papel termodinâmico do ATP nos processos celulares. Os testes foram realizados com alunos do ensino médio (EM), graduação (G) e pós-graduação (PG). A existência de concepções alternativas foi verificada, assim como sua estabilidade nos diferentes níveis de escolaridade: um resultado mostra que 68% EM, 92% G e 91% PG afirmaram que a energia da hidrólise de ATP é responsável por conduzir os processos celulares. Os resultados gerais mostram que os estudantes carregam equívocos em conceitos termodinâmicos básicos, tais como transferência de energia e espontaneidade de reações químicas. Duas possíveis fontes de conceitos alternativos da termodinâmica do ATP são o professor e o livro didático. Nesse trabalho foi verificado que os livros de ensino médio e graduação podem contribuir para a instalação de conceitos alternativos referentes ao ATP. Nos livros analisados, principalmente os de ensino médio, foram encontrados passagens, analogias e esquemas que podem contribuir para isso. E por fim, uma interferência didática foi feita com o intuito de corrigir o entendimento dos alunos no que diz respeito ao papel do ATP nas reações químicas. Alunos monitorados por meio de pré e pós-testes apresentaram resultados animadores em relação à atenuação de conceitos relacionados à termodinâmica do ATP. Dos alunos que participaram da intervenção, mais de 80% responderam e justificaram corretamente os testes feitos pós-intervenção

▼ The fidelity of DNA replication prevents mutations that may lead to cancer predisposition or neurodegenerative diseases. One mechanism that enhances DNA replication fidelity is DNA mismatch repair, which corrects mismatches and small insertion/deletion loops that have escaped polymerase proofreading. In all eukaryotes and most prokaryotes, MutL (a key mismatch repair protein) has an intrinsic endonuclease activity that nicks the newly synthesized strand and recruits downstream factors to remove and correct errors. It has been proposed that ATP binding promotes a series of conformational changes that induce structural order within MutL and stimulates its endonuclease activity. The C-terminal domain of MutL, which harbors the endonuclease site, does not bind to DNA. This has prevented the molecular characterization of its endonuclease activity. In this thesis, we first show that MutL in B. subtilis exhibits asymmetric conformations similar to yeast and human MutL homologs. We also devise a novel approach to bypass the binding defect of the C-terminal domain by using fusion proteins. We find that these fusions bind to DNA specifically and, in the presence of the processivity clamp, can nick DNA. One of these fusion proteins in particular stimulates the nicking activity much more efficiently than the C-terminal domain alone. This work lays the foundation for the mechanistic characterization of the MutL endonuclease and provides a method to stabilize transient protein-DNA interactions.

▼ ATP release and signalling via the P2X7 receptor have been implicated in numerous pathological processes including neurodegeneration and may play a role in the development of tauopathies. We injected ATP analogue bzATP intraventricularly into C57BL/6 mice, pre-treated with either intraperitoneal P2X7R antagonist Brilliant Blue G (BBG) or vehicle. Behavioural outcomes, levels of phosphorylated tau, and immunohistochemical changes in astrocytes and microglia were assessed at 2 weeks and 3 months after treatment. We observed increased immobile time in the tail suspension test and poor performance on rotarod for bzATP-treated mice at 3 months post-treatment, which were diminished by BBG pre-treatment. Western blot revealed increased levels of phosphorylated tau in bzATP-treated mice compared to controls. Astrocytic marker GFAP showed increased periventricular staining at both 2 weeks and 3 months for bzATP-treated mice but microglial marker IBA1 showed no changes. In summary, ATP-P2X7R-mediated mechanisms lead to development of behavioural deficits and increased phosphorylated tau.

▼ Tumor cells have been reported to have two main energy checkpoints depending on the amount of available ATP. These checkpoints regulate the progression of tumor cells during the G1 phase and their progression from the G2/M phase. Thus, the cell cycle depends on the time needed to produce enough ATP to overcome the energy checkpoints. Although molecular mechanism of G1 energy checkpoint has been reported, G2 energy checkpoint has not been fully explained. Here, I have shown that ATP depletion at G2 phase blocks both mitotic entry and cyclin B nucleus translocation in multiple cell lines. In addition, G2-M transition was regulated by the level of intracellular ATP. ATP depletion maintains p-Cdk1 (Y15), which is widely known to be phosphorylated by Wee1 kinase. Moreover, ATP depletion at G2 phase induced p-Chk1 (S345). Thus, I treated Wee1 inhibitor, PD166285, during ATP depletion at G2 phase. PD166285 dramatically overcome G2 arrest by ATP depletion. In addition, I also treated DNA damage response signaling inhibitor to target Chk1. However, DDR signaling inhibitor did not overcome G2 arrest by ATP depletion. Experiment using chemical inhibition and siRNA for AMPK also revealed that ATP depletion-induced G2 arrest did not result from AMPK activation. Taken together, ATP depletion at G2 phase blocks mitotic entry through maintaining inhibitory phosphorylation of Cdk1. Moreover, I observed that some the G2 arrested cells treated with PD166285 eventually died, indicating potential therapeutic implication and Wee1 inhibition upon ATPdepleted cells.
진핵세포는 다양한 스트레스에 반응하여 세포주기를 조절하는checkpoint를 가지고 있다. 진핵세포의 세포주기에서 이용 가능한 ATP의 양에 따라 2 가지 주요 energy checkpoint를 갖는 것으로 보고되었다. 이 checkpoint는 G1 기 동안 종양 세포주기의 진행과 G2 / M transition의 진행을 조절한다. G1 energy checkpoint에서는 AMPK에 의해 cyclin E가 억제되는 molecular mechanism이 보고되었지만 G2 energy checkpoint는 아직 완전히설명되지 않았다. 본 저자는 G2 기에서 ATP 결핍이 세포주기에 어떤영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. ATP를 결핍 시키는데 사용한 약물은 glycolysis를 억제하는 2-DG와 mitochondrial Cytochrome C oxidase를 억제하는 NaN3를 사용하였다. Drugs를 처리하였을 때 ATP가 asynchronous 수준으로 떨어지는 것을 확인하였다. 그 다음 mitotic entry와 cyclin B nuclear translocation을 확인한 결과 mitotic entry와 cyclin B nuclear translocation이 차단된 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이러한 현상이 drugs을 wash out 해 주었을 때 정상수준으로 회복되는지 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과 drugs를 wash out 했을 때 ATP와 mitotic index가 정상 수준으로 회복하였다. 그 다음 세포주기가 멈추는 현상이 정말로 ATP결핍에 의한 현상인지 알아보고자 또 다른 energy stress를 가해주었다. 2-DG와 mitochondrial complex I 을 억제하는 phenformin을 동시에 처리한 결과 세포주기가 정지되는 것을 확인하였다. 그 다음 glucose free media로 glucose starvation 시켰을 때에도 이러한 현상이 일어나는지 확인하였다. 그 결과 drugs 처리 때보다는 약한정도 였으나 어느정도 세포분열기로의 이행이 억제되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 그 다음 세포내 ATP를 측정한 결과 2-DG와 phenformin을 처리하였을 때는 asynchronous 수준으로 떨어지는 것을 확인하였다. 하지만 glucose starvation 조건에서는 ATP가 조금 감소하는 정도였다. 따라서 세포내 ATP의 양에 따라 세포주기가 조절된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 현상이 일어나는 기전으로 먼저 AMPK에 의한 것인지 알아보고자 하였다. siRNA와 inhibitor를 사용하여 AMPK를 억제하였지만 세포주기 진행억제가 극복되지 않았다. 따라서 G2 energy checkpoint에서 AMPK는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는다는 것을 확인하였다. 그 다음 DNA 손상에 의한 신호전달 경로를 확인한 결과 Chk1이 인산화 되는 것을 확인하였다. 다양한 inhibitor를 통해 Chk1의 인산화를 억제하였지만 세포주기 진행억제를 극복하지 못했다. 따라서 Chk1도 별다른 영향을 미치지 않는다는…

▼ Bacterial cell division relies on the cell division septum to form at the mid-cell position. In gram negative bacteria, this is mediated by three proteins, MinC, MinD and MinE. Together these proteins interact with each other and the membrane in a dynamic, oscillating process which prevents cell division septum formation at the cell poles. The early phase of this process involves MinD binding to the membrane, which is triggered upon binding of ATP. Subsequent interactions with MinE result in stimulation of the ATPase activity of MinD. After hydrolysis, MinD is released from the membrane and diffuses to a new binding site. Many in silico models have been constructed of the Min system in an attempt to describe its self-organizing behaviour. A limitation of these models is that, in order to prevent rapid re-binding of MinD to the membrane after hydrolysis of ATP, the exchange of bound ADP for ATP is assumed to be a slow process, on the order of 1/s . In order to provide experimental evidence of the rate of nucleotide binding, we performed a series of triple-resonance NMR experiments to complete a partial assignment of backbone atom resonances, which required the application of deuterium labelling and amino acid-specific selective unlabelling. After the introduction of ATP, it was discovered that no dimerization had been induced, in contrast with existing literature. It was proposed that MinD from N. gonorrhoeae only forms a dimer in the presence of a membrane, while literature with MinD from E. coli shows it does not have this requirement. Interestingly while dimerization had not been induced, there was a persistent population of dimeric species even in the absence of nucleotide. This was discovered to be the result of disulfide formation, likely an artifact of established purification protocols. Binding of both ADP and ATP to MinD were studied by titration using NMR, with the relative affinity of both nucleotides to MinD being indistinguishable. By analyzing peak coalescence in the half-bound condition, a maximum rate was determined for nucleotide binding, with the lifetime being on the order of 170ms. Results from this experiment support models requiring a slow nucleotide binding step, and help enhance understanding of how Min proteins sustain oscillations required for normal cell division.

▼ Pannexins represent a recently discovered second family of gap junction proteins in vertebrates. However, instead of forming intercellular gap junction channels like connexins, pannexins operate as unpaired pannexons, allowing the flux of molecules from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space and vice versa. Pannexins appear to play a vital role in the local control loop of blood perfusion and oxygen delivery. The properties of Panx1 channels indicate that this protein is the most probable candidate for an
ATP release channel and is involved in the propagation of intercellular calcium waves. It is also proposed to mediate the large pore formation of the P2X7 receptor death complex. Prolonged activation of this receptor can lead to cell death. There must be some mechanisms to stop this
ATP-induced
ATP release and opening of the lethal pore. Here we describe a negative feedback loop controlling pannexin 1 channel activity.
ATP, permeant to pannexin 1 channels, was found to inhibit its permeation pathway when applied extracellularly.
ATP analogues, including BzATP, suramine, and BBG were even more effective inhibitors of pannexin 1 currents than
ATP. These compounds also attenuated the uptake of dyes by erythrocytes, which express pannexin 1. The rank order of the compounds in attenuation of pannexin 1 currents was similar to their binding affinities to the P2X7 receptor, except that receptor agonists and antagonists both were inhibitory to the channel. The
ATP inhibitory effect is largely decreased when R75 on the first extracellular loop of Pannexin1 is mutated to alanine, strongly indicating that the
ATP regulates this channel through binding. To further investigate the structural property of the
ATP binding, we did alanine scanning mutagenesis of the extracellular loops and found that mutations on W74, S237, S240, I247 and L266 on the extracellular loops severely impair the BzATP inhibitory effect indicating that they might be direct binding partners for the ligands. Mutations on R75, S82, S93, L94, D241, S249, P259 and I267 have largely decreased BzATP sensitivity. Mutations on other residues didn't change the BzATP sensitivity compared to the wild type except for some nonfunctional mutants. All these data demonstrate that some amino acid residues on the extracellular loop of Pannexin 1 mediate
ATP sensitivity. However, how these residues form the
ATP-binding pocket remains to be elucidated.

ATP) released from cells can mediate a diverse number of biological responses, such as cell secretion, inflammation, and immune reactions through signaling pathways. According to Wang et al. (2013), the extracellular
ATP concentration has been measured to accumulate to a high level in the nucleus pulposus (NP) region in the intervertebral disc (IVD), approximately 165 ?M. Since extracellular
ATP is involved in a variety of cellular activities, the role of
ATP distribution and accumulation in the IVD should be investigated. The objective of this study is to examine the effects of mechanical compression on the distribution of extracellular
ATP and its adenine derivatives in the IVD using triphasic mechano-electrochemical theory. This theory describes the mechanical behavior and transport phenomena of charged hydrated soft tissue such as the IVD. Michaelis-Menten kinetics was used to model
ATP hydrolysis and incorporated into a finite element model. Experiments were performed to measure Michaelis-Menten parameters of annulus fibrosus (AF) and NP cells. Results of the
ATP hydrolysis experiments show that the maximum reaction velocity, Vmax, for AF cells is significantly greater than the value for NP cells. Thus, the extracellular
ATP hydrolysis rate for AF cells could be significantly greater than the rate for NP cells. By comparing the results with the findings reported by Wang et al. (2013), the theoretical analysis indicated that mechanical loading may promote
ATP hydrolysis and induce an intrinsic cellular response. Based on a finite element model, this study simulates the distribution of extracellular
ATP and its adenine derivatives in the IVD under mechanical loading.

▼ Back pain is the second most common neurological ailment in the United States and the leading cause of pain and disability. More than 80% of the total US population experiences back-pain during their life time and the annual back pain related healthcare costs exceed 100 billion dollars. While the exact cause of low back pain (LBP) is still unknown, degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) has been suggested as a primary contributor. IVD is the largest avascular tissue in the human body and it is composed of three integrated tissues (annulus fibrosus - AF, nucleus pulposus - NP and cartilaginous end plate - CEP). IVD functions as a shock-absorber during motion and provides flexibility to motion of the spine. Maintaining IVD tissue integrity is an energy demanding process. Studies have shown that mechanical loading affects cellular biosynthesis of IVD tissue and may also promote IVD degeneration. However the path to this effect is still unknown. We propose a link between mechanical loading and cell energy production which contributes to altered cellular biosynthesis. Thus, we investigated the effects of mechanical loading on IVD cell energy metabolism under various mechanical loading regimes. Porcine AF and NP cells were isolated and seeded in 2% agarose at a 5,000,000 cells/mL cell density. A custom made bioreactor was used to conduct compression experiments. The experiment groups were: 15% static compression; 30% static compression; 0.1, 1 and 2 Hz dynamic compression at 15% strain magnitude. Experiment duration was 4 hr.
ATP concentration in cell-agarose construct and culture media were measured using Luciferin-luciferase method to evaluate
ATP production and
ATP release from cells respectively. Lactate concentration in media was measured using lactate dehydrogenase enzymatic assay. Nitrite (stable metabolite of nitric oxide - NO) concentration in media was measured by Greiss Assay. DNA content per sample was measured using fluorometric assay. DNA content per sample was used as an internal control; all compressed samples were then normalized to unstrained control group.
ATP production of AF cells was up regulated by static and dynamic mechanical loading. Data suggests that AF cell response to mechanical loading is primarily loading amplitude dependent. NP cells exhibited an increased
ATP production at 1 Hz dynamic loading but remained comparable to control samples at other tested conditions. AF cells produced an increase in NO production at 1-, 2 Hz dynamic loading. NO production of NP cells was up regulated by mechanical loading at all tested conditions.
ATP release was up regulated at higher frequencies in AF cells. In addition to higher frequencies (1 Hz and 2 Hz) NP cell
ATP release was also up regulated by 30% static compression. Thus, this study clearly illustrates that mechanical loading affects IVD cell energy production.
