Rapid annexin-V labeling in synaptosomes.

چکیده
Distal neuronal terminals may be the site of apoptotic events and early synapse loss in neurodegenerative disease. To examine apoptosis in synaptic regions, we established a cell-free assay using a rat brain crude synaptosomal preparation (P-2 fraction) as a model system. The apoptosis marker annexin-V was used to measure phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure, and to ensure that only intact terminals were assayed, synaptosomes were dual labeled with a viability marker (calcein AM). Fluorescence was quantified by flow cytometry analysis. Annexin-V labeling increased rapidly in synaptosomes, following a 1 min incubation with staurosporine. However, increased caspase-3-like activity was not measured until 30 min with a fluorometric assay. The addition of a peptide inhibitor of caspase-3-like activity (Ac-DEVD-CHO) during homogenization was not able to block the initial increase in annexin labeling, but resulted in a partial blockade of annexin labeling after 30 min. These data demonstrate that PS externalization and caspase activation occur rapidly in this widely used neurochemical preparation.

Site-Specific Labeling of Annexin V with F-18 for Apoptosis Imaging
Annexin V is useful in detecting apoptotic cells by binding to phosphatidylserine (PS) that is exposed on the outer surface of the cell membrane during apoptosis. In this study, we examined the labeling of annexin V-128, a mutated form of annexin V that has a single cysteine residue at the NH 2 terminus, with the thiol-selective reagent (18)F-labeling agent N-[4-[(4-[(18)F]fluorobenzylidene)ami...
متن کاملIodination of annexin V for imaging apoptosis.
UNLABELLED Our goal in this investigation was to develop a method for iodinating annexin V that would be suitable for the in vivo detection of apoptosis. METHODS Annexin V was iodinated with (125)I using 2 different techniques: direct iodination with IODO-BEADS, resulting in the iodination of tyrosine residues; and use of the Bolton-Hunter reagent, which binds to lysine. The active fraction o...
متن کاملSPIO-Annexin V, a potential probe for MRI detection of radiation induced apoptosis
Background: Finding a suitable method for rapid, accurate and reliable estimation of absorbed dose has high priority in management of the radiation exposed persons. Shortly after radiation exposure, apoptosis is a major detriment in proliferative tissues such as the hematopoietic system. Therefore, quantification of apoptosis in these tissues could be useful for rapid estimation of radiation ex...
متن کاملSerum Factors Induced the Nuclear Location of Annexin V in the Human Osteosarcoma Cell Line (MG-63)
Calcium-binding proteins play essential roles in the cell. One important class of calcium-binding proteins is the annexin family. This is a family of 13 proteins, which binds to phospholipids in a calcium-dependent manner. Osteosarcoma cell line (MG-63) is a transformed cell that has many characteristics of the differentiated cell, such as a considerable serum dependency in its growth rate. Usi...

Synapsin I (protein I) is a major neuron-specific endogenous substrate for cAMP-dependent and Ca/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases that is widely distributed in synapses of the central and peripheral nervous system (De Camilli, P., R. Cameron, and P. Greengard, 1983, J. Cell Biol. 96:1337-1354). We have now carried out a detailed analysis of the ultrastructural localization of synapsin I in ...
