There are several subtypes of fibrocyte in the spiral ligament and spiral limbus of the cochlea that may contribute to fluid homeostasis. Immunocytochemical data suggest that these fibrocytes possess the glutamate-aspartate transporter, GLAST, as do supporting cells around the hair cells. However, functional glutamate uptake has not been demonstrated in fibrocytes. We used confocal and post-embedding immunogold electron microscopy to confirm that GLAST is expressed in adult fibrocytes of CD-1 mice with a relative expression: spiral limbus fibrocytes>type II>V>IV>I spiral ligament fibrocytes. Because they were sparsely present in most samples, type III fibrocytes were assessed only in one sample where their GLAST levels were similar to type I. Type II, type V and spiral limbus fibrocytes have many fine cellular processes that increase their surface area, those of the latter two coming into direct contact with perilymph, and type V fibrocytes contain the most glutamate. These data imply that glutamate uptake occurs in the fibrocytes. We assessed uptake Of D-aspartate (a glutamate analogue) together with GLAST expression immunocytochemically and electrophysiologically. D-Aspartate accumulated into GLAST expressing fibrocytes in vitro and evoked currents blockable by the GLAST inhibitor D,L-threo-beta-benzyloxyaspartate (TBOA), similar to those of supporting cells around inner hair cells. Currents were strongest in spiral limbus fibrocytes, progressively lower in type V and type II fibrocytes, and were negligible in type I fibrocytes in accordance with the relative expression levels of GLAST. We conclude that in addition to their known homeostatic functions, fibrocytes, in particular spiral limbus, type II and type V fibrocytes play a role in glutamate homeostasis in the cochlea.

Activation of autophagy reverses progressive and deleterious protein aggregation in PRPF31 patient-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelium cells

Maria Georgiou, Chunbo Yang, Robert Atkinson, Kuan-Ting Pan, Adriana Buskin, Marina Moya Molina, Joseph Collin, Jumana Al-Aama, Franziska Goertler, Sebastian E. J. Ludwig, Tracey Davey, Reinhard Luhrmann, Sushma Nagaraja-Grellscheid, Colin A. Johnson, Robin Ali, Lyle Armstrong, Viktor Korolchuk, Henning Urlaub, Sina Mozaffari-Jovin, Majlinda Lako

Summary: Mutations in PRPF31, a core protein of the spliceosomal tri-snRNP complex, cause autosomal-dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP). This study used iPSC technology to generate retinal organoids and RPE models from PRPF31-adRP patients, and found that RNA splicing, autophagy and lysosome, and visual cycle pathways were significantly affected. The accumulation of cytoplasmic aggregates and impaired waste disposal mechanisms were also observed in patient-derived cells. Activation of the autophagy pathway reduced the aggregates and improved cell survival.

Orthopaedic Aspects of SAMS Syndrome

Dirk E. Schrander, Heleen M. Staal, Colin A. Johnson, Alistair Calder, Neeti Ghali, Albert E. Chudley, Constance T. R. M. Stumpel

Summary: SAMS syndrome is an ultra-rare developmental disorder characterized by short stature, auditory canal atresia, mandibular hypoplasia, and skeletal abnormalities. Only four affected individuals have been reported to date. The syndrome includes orthopaedic diagnoses such as scapulohumoral synostosis and bilateral congenital ventral dislocation of the hips. Therefore, SAMS syndrome should be considered as the primary diagnosis when bilateral congenital ventral dislocation of the hips and/or scapulohumoral synostosis are found or suspected.

Human Placenta Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Transplantation Reducing Cellular Apoptosis in Hypoxic-Ischemic Neonatal Rats by Down-Regulating Semaphorin 3A/Neuropilin-1

Yang He, Jun Tang, Meng Zhang, Junjie Ying, Dezhi Mu

Summary: This study investigated the protective effects and mechanisms of human placenta derived mesenchymal stem cells (hPMSCs) transplantation in a rat model of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). The results showed that hPMSCs transplantation reduced apoptosis and improved long-term neurological prognosis. Furthermore, the downregulation of Sema 3A/NRP-1 expression and activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway played a key role in the protective effects of hPMSCs.

Probing the Neurophysiology of Temporal Sensitivity in the Somatosensory System Using the Mismatch Negativity (MMN) Sensory Memory Paradigm

Emily L. Isenstein, Edward G. Freedman, Jiayi Xu, Ian A. DeAndrea-Lazarus, John J. Foxe

Summary: This study evaluated electrophysiological discrimination of parametric somatosensory stimuli in healthy young adults to understand how the brain processes the duration of tactile information. The results showed that participants did not electrophysiologically discriminate between 100 and 115 ms, but they exhibited distinct electrophysiological responses when the deviant stimuli were 130, 145, and 160 ms. These findings contribute to a better understanding of tactile sensitivity in different clinical conditions.

Correlation Between Cued Fear Memory Retrieval and Oscillatory Network Inhibition in the Amygdala Is Disrupted by Acute REM Sleep Deprivation

Miki Hashizume, Rina Ito, Rie Suge, Yasushi Hojo, Gen Murakami, Takayuki Murakoshi

Summary: The basolateral amygdaloid complex (BLA) is closely involved in the formation of emotional memories, including both aversive memory and contextual fear memory. Acute sleep deprivation (SD) disrupts the acquisition of tone-associated fear memory in juvenile rats, but has no significant effect on contextual fear memory. Slow network oscillation in the amygdala contributes to the formation of amygdala-dependent fear memory in relation to sleep.
