Abstract

An in vitro trauma test was conducted to determine the effects of extracorporeal circulation on platelet count and function. Fresh human blood was circulated in two identical in vitro circuits for six hours at a rate of 500 ml per minute (500 recirculations). One circuit included a G.E.--Peirce membrane lung and the other was a control. Platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP), epinephrine, or collagen was studied before and after six hours of perfusion. No important drop in platelet count occurred in the control circuit (Control-C) following bypass, but there was a 20% drop for the lung circuit (Lung-C). Platelet aggregation was reduced by about 30% for the control circuit and 65% for the lung circuit. The large decrease in platelet function accompanied by only a moderate decrease in platelet count is discussed in terms of loss of the youngest and most active platelets, platelet inhibition due to ADP released by red blood cell lysis, and platelet trauma.

A novel DPH5-related diphthamide-deficiency syndrome causing embryonic lethality or profound neurodevelopmental disorder.

PURPOSE: Diphthamide is a post-translationally modified histidine essential for messenger RNA translation and ribosomal protein synthesis. We present evidence for DPH5 as a novel cause of embryonic lethality and profound neurodevelopmental delays (NDDs). METHODS: Molecular testing was performed using exome or genome sequencing. A targeted Dph5 knockin mouse (C57BL/6Ncrl-Dph5em1Mbp/Mmucd) was created for a DPH5 p.His260Arg homozygous variant identified in 1 family. Adenosine diphosphate-ribosylation assays in DPH5-knockout human and yeast cells and in silico modeling were performed for the identified DPH5 potential pathogenic variants. RESULTS: DPH5 variants p.His260Arg (homozygous), p.Asn110Ser and p.Arg207Ter (heterozygous), and p.Asn174LysfsTer10 (homozygous) were identified in 3 unrelated families with distinct overlapping craniofacial features, profound NDDs, multisystem abnormalities, and miscarriages. Dph5 p.His260Arg homozygous knockin was embryonically lethal with only 1 subviable mouse exhibiting impaired growth, craniofacial dysmorphology, and multisystem dysfunction recapitulating the human phenotype. Adenosine diphosphate-ribosylation assays showed absent to decreased function in DPH5-knockout human and yeast cells. In silico modeling of the variants showed altered DPH5 structure and disruption of its interaction with eEF2. CONCLUSION: We provide strong clinical, biochemical, and functional evidence for DPH5 as a novel cause of embryonic lethality or profound NDDs with multisystem involvement and expand diphthamide-deficiency syndromes and ribosomopathies.

Voltage-dependent K(+) channels in pancreatic beta cells: role, regulation and potential as therapeutic targets.

Insulin secretion from pancreatic islet beta cells is acutely regulated by a complex interplay of metabolic and electrogenic events. The electrogenic mechanism regulating insulin secretion from beta cells is commonly referred to as the ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channel dependent pathway. Briefly, an increase in ATP and, perhaps more importantly, a decrease in ADP stimulated by glucose metabolism depolarises the beta cell by closing K(ATP) channels. Membrane depolarisation results in the opening of voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels, and influx of Ca(2+) is the main trigger for insulin secretion. Repolarisation of pancreatic beta cell action potential is mediated by the activation of voltage-dependent K(+) (Kv) channels. Various Kv channel homologues have been detected in insulin secreting cells, and recent studies have shown a role for specific Kv channels as modulators of insulin secretion. Here we review the evidence supporting a role for Kv channels in the regulation of insulin secretion and discuss the potential and the limitations for beta-cell Kv channels as therapeutic targets. Furthermore, we review recent investigations of mechanisms regulating Kv channels in beta cells, which suggest that Kv channels are active participants in the regulation of beta-cell electrical activity and insulin secretion.

Reconstitution reveals additional roles for N- and C-terminal domains of g(alpha) in muscarinic receptor coupling.

The molecular basis for selectivity of M1 and M2 muscarinic receptor coupling to heterotrimeric G proteins has been studied using receptors expressed in Sf9 cell membranes and reconstituted with purified chimeric G(alpha) subunits containing different regions of Gi1alpha and Gq(alpha). The abilities of G protein heterotrimers containing chimeric alpha subunits to stabilize the high-affinity state of the receptors for agonist and to undergo receptor stimulated guanine nucleotide exchange was compared with G protein heterotrimers containing either native Gi1alpha or Gq(alpha). The data confirm the importance of the proper context of the C-terminus of Galpha by demonstrating that the C-terminus of Gi1alpha, when placed in the context of Gq(alpha), prevents coupling to muscarinic M1 receptors, while the C-terminus of Gq(alpha), when placed in the context of Gi1alpha, prevents coupling to muscarinic M2 receptors. However, C-terminal amino acids of Gq(alpha) placed in the context of Gi1alpha were not sufficient to allow M1 receptor coupling, nor were C-terminal amino acids of Gi1alpha placed in the context of Gq(alpha) sufficient for M2 receptor coupling. The unique six amino acid N-terminal extension of Gq(alpha) when added to the N-terminus of Gi1alpha neither prevented M2 receptor coupling nor permitted M1 receptor coupling. A Gi1alpha-based chimera containing both N- and C-terminal regions of Gq(alpha) gained the ability to productively couple M1 receptors suggesting that the proper context of both N- and C-termini is required for muscarinic receptor coupling.
