چکیده

mechanisms of wing vein formation have been well studied in Drosophila melanogaster, however little is known about if the mechanisms are conserved to develop diversified wing vein patterns among insects. In Drosophila, Dpp, BMP2/4 ortholog, is initially expressed at longitudinal veins and later at crossveins to specify both veins during pupal stages. Using a GFP tagged Dpp, we first addressed how the diffusible Dpp draws elaborate wing vein patterns in Drosophila and demonstrate that the combination of facilitated transport and active retention tightly regulates Dpp diffusion. Dpp diffuses from the longitudinal veins to the prospective posterior crossvein (PCV). BMP binding proteins Sog and Cv actively transport Dpp to PCV. Gbb, BMP5/6/7 ortholog, also diffuses to PCV and is required for Dpp transport suggesting that Dpp/Gbb heterodimer is a primary ligand moved by Sog/Cv complex. Intriguingly Dpp is highly immobilized in the longitudinal veins and its retention is mediated by type I receptor Tkv and unknown positive feedback mechanisms. To understand how complex wing vein patterns develop, we then analyzed the Hymenoptera Athalia rosae (sawfly). We found that BMP signal is detected at prepupal wing veins of sawfly and vein patterns become complex in a way that crossveins are formed later during prepupal stages as Drosophila PCV. Since Drosophila PCV is initially induced by facilitated transport of BMP ligands, we propose that active control of BMP diffusion provides an evolutionary conserved genetic tool kit for drawing diversified wing vein patterns.

The spatial learning and memory performance in methamphetamine–sensitized and withdrawn rats

Objective(s): There is controversial evidence about the effect of methamphetamine (METH) on spatial memory. We tested the time- dependent effects of METH on spatial short-term (working) and long-term (reference) memory in METH –sensitized and withdrawn rats in the Morris water maze. Materials and Methods: Rats were sensitized to METH (2 mg/kg, daily/5 days, SC). Rats were trained in water maze ...

Swimming exercise attenuates psychological dependence and voluntary methamphetamine consumption in methamphet- amine withdrawn rats

Objective(s): This study evaluated the effect of swimming exercise during spontaneous methamphetamine (METH) withdrawal on the anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and voluntary METH consumption in METH-dependent rats.  Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were repeatedly administered with bi-daily doses of METH (2 mg/kg, subcutaneous) over a period of 14 days. Exercised ...

Conversion from calcineurin inhibitors to mycophenolate mofetil in liver transplant recipients with diabetes mellitus.

Diabetes mellitus, a frequent metabolic complication in liver transplant recipients, may be produced by the diabetogenic effect of calcineurin inhibitors cyclosporine and tacrolimus. The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and metabolic effects of a gradual switch from cyclosporine or tacrolimus to mycophenolate mofetil among 12 diabetic liver transplant recipients. One patient was ...

Comparable efficacy of a topical 0.0584% hydrocortisone aceponate spray and oral ciclosporin in treating canine atopic dermatitis.

This study compared the efficacy of a 0.0584% hydrocortisone aceponate (HCA) spray (Cortavance(®); Virbac SA) and ciclosporin (Atopica(®); Novartis Animal Health) in canine atopic dermatitis in a single-blind randomized controlled trial. Dogs received HCA (two sprays/100 cm(2); n=24) or ciclosporin (5 mg/kg; n=21). Canine Atopic Dermatitis Extent and Severity Index (CADESI)-03, pruritus (visual...

Morphogenetic cell movements mould the shape of the developing organism. These movements have been extensively studied during Drosophila embryonic development. In particular live imaging analyses have revealed the complexities underlying the comparatively simple processes of germband extension, retraction and dorsal closure. I am applying live imaging techniques to an apparently complex morphog...
