For sufficient neuronal growth and adhesion on such MEAs, substrate preparation is required. Plating of dissociated neurons on a uniformly prepared MEA's surface results in the formation of spatially extended random networks with substantial inter-sample variability. Such cultures are not optimally suited to study the relationship between defined structure and dynamics in neuronal networks. To overcome these shortcomings, neurons can be cultured with pre-defined topology by spatially structured surface modification. Spatially structuring a MEA surface accurately and reproducibly with the equipment of a typical cell-culture laboratory is challenging. New method: In this paper, we present a novel approach utilizing micro-contact printing (mu CP) combined with a custom-made device to accurately position patterns on MEAs with high precision. We call this technique AP-mu CP (accurate positioning micro-contact printing). Comparison with existing methods: Other approaches presented in the literature using mu CP for patterning either relied on facilities or techniques not readily available in a standard cell culture laboratory, or they did not specify means of precise pattern positioning. Conclusion: Here we present a relatively simple device for reproducible and precise patterning in a standard cell-culture laboratory setting. The patterned neuronal islands on MEAs provide a basis for high throughput electrophysiology to study the dynamics of single neurons and neuronal networks. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

To some degree, remyelination can occur, associated with an increase of proliferating oligodendroglial cells. Recently, the expression of potassium channels has been implicated in the control of oligodendrocyte precursor cell proliferation in vitro. We investigated the expression of Kv1.4 potassium channels in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, a model of multiple sclerosis. Confocal microscopy revealed expression of Kv1.4 in AN2-positive oligodendrocyte precursor cells and pre-myelinating oligodendrocytes in vitro but neither in mature oligodendrocytes nor in the spinal cords of healthy adult mice. After induction of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, Kv1.4 immunoreactivity was detected in or around lesions already during disease onset with a peak early and a subsequent decrease in the late phase of the disease. Kv1.4 expression was confined to 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase-positive oligodendroglial cells, which were actively proliferating and ensheathed naked axons. After a demyelinating episode, the number of Kv1.4 and 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase double-positive cells was greatly reduced in ciliary neurotrophic factor knockout mice, a model with impaired lesion repair. in summary, the re-expression of an oligodendroglial potassium channel may have a functional implication on oligodendroglial cell cycle progression, thus influencing tissue repair in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and multiple sclerosis."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.2353/ajpath.2007.061241"],["dc.identifier.isi","000248496300022"],["dc.identifier.pmid","17600124"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/50766"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation.issn","0002-9440"],["dc.title","Re-expression of a developmentally restricted potassium channel in autoimmune demyelination - Kv1.4 is implicated in oligodendroglial proliferation"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Direct assessment of the interaction between a single Ca2+ microdomain and a single secretory vesicle has been impossible because of technical limitations. Using evanescent field imaging of near-membrane micromolar Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]) and fluorescently labeled vesicles, we have observed exocytosis of individual chromaffin dense-core vesicles that was triggered by Ca2+ microdomains. Ca2+ microdomains selectively triggered the release of vesicles that were docked within 300 nm. Not all vesicles exposed to a Ca2+ microdomain were released, indicating that some vesicles are docked but are not ready for release. In addition to its established role as a trigger for release, elevated near-membrane [Ca2+] reduced the distance between docked vesicles and Ca2+ entry sites. Our results suggest a new mechanism for stimulation-dependent facilitation of exocytosis, whereby vesicles are moved closer to Ca2+ entry sites, thereby increasing a Ca2+ microdomain's efficacy to trigger vesicle fusion."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/nn1087"],["dc.identifier.gro","3144079"],["dc.identifier.isi","000184413700014"],["dc.identifier.pmid","12845327"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/1663"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.publisher","Nature Publishing Group"],["dc.relation.issn","1097-6256"],["dc.title","Calcium regulates exocytosis at the level of single vesicles"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

So far, no biomarkers exist to facilitate diagnosis of BD or treatment evaluation. To investigate whether BD and its treatment with lithium leaves a characteristic signature in the serum proteome, we used SELDI-TOF MS to analyze individual serum samples from BD patients treated with lithium (BD-plus-Li, n=15) or other drugs (BD-minus-Li, n=10) and from healthy controls (n=15). Interestingly, features of 28 kDa (one peak) and 14 kDa (three peaks) showed a decreased level in the BD-minus-Li group and a level restored to that of the control group in the BD-plus-Li group. To reveal the identity of these features, we subjected pooled serum samples from both BD groups to the 2-D DIGE technology and identified 28 kDa apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I) and three 14 kDa fragments thereof as upregulated in the BD-plus-Li group. Immunoturbidimetry, a routine clinical assay, verified the characteristic apo A-I signature in individual serum samples.

The aim of the present study was to unravel the functional role of K(v)10.1 in the brain by generating knockout mice, where the voltage sensor and pore region of K(v)10.1 were removed to render non-functional proteins through deletion of exon 7 of the KCNH1 gene using the '3 Lox P strategy'.

K(v)10.1 null mice display mild hyperactivity and longer-lasting haloperidol-induced catalepsy, but there was no difference between genotypes in amphetamine sensitization and withdrawal, reactivity to apomorphine and haloperidol in the prepulse inhibition tests or to antidepressants in the haloperidol-induced catalepsy. Furthermore, electrical properties of K(v)10.1 in cerebellar Purkinje cells did not show any difference between genotypes. Bearing in mind that K(v)10.1 is overexpressed in over 70 of all human tumours and that its inhibition leads to a reduced tumour cell proliferation, the fact that deletion of K(v)10.1 does not show a marked phenotype is a prerequisite for utilizing K(v)10.1 blocking and/or reduction techniques, such as siRNA, to treat cancer."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Max Planck Society"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1093/hmg/ddt076"],["dc.identifier.isi","000319432000011"],["dc.identifier.pmid","23424202"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/29798"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation.issn","0964-6906"],["dc.title","Behavioural and functional characterization of K(v)10.1 (Eag1) knockout mice"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
