Apaf1 (apoptosis protease activating factor 1) is one of the central mediators of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway and a part of the apoptosome, which activates procaspase-3 and promotes cell death. Gene knockout of Apaf1 in mice leads to late embryonic lethality with malformations such as the persistence of interdigital webs and hyperplasia of brain and retina. Therefore, Apaf1 is generally believed to play a crucial role in developmental apoptosis and have a widespread expression. However, its pattern of expression in early development remains unknown. To specify whether Apaf1 indeed plays this key role, we investigated the pattern of gene expression for Apaf1 in mouse embryos on day 7,9, and 12 of development. Our results show, that gene expression for Apafl first occurs within the embryo between day 7 and 9 of development, becoming more widespread toward day 12 and then includes structures, such as yolk sac, mesenchyme, cartilage, heart anlage, otic vesicle, peridermis, and anlagen of the spinal ganglia and vertebral bodies. Our results also show that gene expression for Apaf1 is not ubiquitous in early mouse development. This finding indicates that cell death processes are independent of or less dependent on Apaf1 during this time. Of interest, an active gene expression for Apafl is also present in organ anlagen such as heart or intestine, in which no obvious phenotype is seen after Apafl deletion. This finding suggests a possible role for Apafl in such anlagen as a putative alternative compensatory pathway, which could he switched on in the case of defects in the mediators that are normally involved in such organs.

In contrast, in the course of development of liver cirrhosis, a structured BM is formed de novo in the space of Disse. This BM contributes to the inhibition of the metabolic function of the liver but the pathogenic background of the formation of this perisinusoidal BM is still unclear. Integrins of the beta1-class are generally essential for BM stability and some of them (such as alpha2beta1, alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta1) appear de novo in the perisinusoidal space of the cirrhotic liver. Their cellular distribution in capillarized sinusoids as well as the correlation between their cellular distribution and the formation of the microvascular BM in the cirrhotic liver has not been shown at the ultrastructural level. In the present work we aimed to clarify this issue. We focused on integrins alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta1 and localised them ultrastructurally in human cirrhotic liver microvessels using postembedding immunogold which allows the ultrastructural localization of antigens with high resolution in the tissue. The newly formed basement membrane of capillarized sinusoids was visualized by means of fixation with addition of tannic acid, which enables the visualization of structures of the extracellular matrix with the highest resolution. Also, we carried out laminin detection using postembedding immunogold. Our results show that both alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta1 are expressed on the surface of both hepatocytes and endothelial cells, i.e. on both sides of the newly formed basement membrane. This latter shows zones of higher density both in close proximity to the endothelial and to the hepatocytic surfaces which resemble laminae densae. We propose that hepatocytes and endothelial cells may, therefore, by expressing such integrins, contribute to the formation of this pathological BM in the microvessels of the human cirrhotic liver. On stellate cells, which are major producers of BM components, both integrins alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta1 were also localized."],["dc.identifier.isi","000222112300018"],["dc.identifier.pmid","15168343"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/48015"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","F Hernandez"],["dc.relation.issn","0213-3911"],["dc.title","Ultrastructural localization of integrin subunits alpha 3 and alpha 6 in capillarized sinusoids of the human cirrhotic liver"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details PMID PMC WOS2006Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","1199"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","11"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","HISTOLOGY AND HISTOPATHOLOGY"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","1207"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","21"],["dc.contributor.author","Diedrich, A."],["dc.contributor.author","Bock, Hans-Christoph"],["dc.contributor.author","Koenig, Fatima Barbara"],["dc.contributor.author","Schulz, Thomas G."],["dc.contributor.author","Ludwig, H.-C."],["dc.contributor.author","Herken, R."],["dc.contributor.author","Quondamatteo, Fabio"],["dc.date.accessioned","2018-11-07T09:01:18Z"],["dc.date.available","2018-11-07T09:01:18Z"],["dc.date.issued","2006"],["dc.description.abstract","Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play a central role in a number of metabolic processes. Glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) is a polymorphic cytosolic enzyme and a member of the theta class of GSTs. Typical substrates for GSTT1 are industrial compounds, such as dichloromethane and ethylene oxide. It has been shown that also chemotherapeutic drugs such as BCNU [i.e. 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1nitrosourea] are efficiently inactivated by GSTT1. BCNU is a drug which is increasingly used locally in the chemotherapy of glioblastoma multiforme WHO grade IV. Therefore, if GSTT1 were expressed in neoplastic cells of brain tumours it could be a factor for chemoresistance. In order to clarify a possible role of GSTT1 in chemoresistance, as a first step, we localized this enzyme in malignant gliomas such as glioblastoma multiforme WHO grade IV and oligodendroglioma WHO grade II. Because of its polymorphism we first genotyped the samples for GSTT1 by PCR. Using in situ hybridization, we then demonstrated that GSTT1 transcripts are expressed in neoplastic cells of both tumour types. Immunohistochemistry revealed then that whereas neoplastic cells in glioblastoma multiforme WHO grade IV contain GSTT1, it was not localized in oligodendroglioma cells. Given the polymorphism of GSTT1 and its potential activity towards BCNU, the localization of GSTT1 in glioblastoma cells can be considered as a possible factor of non-homogeneous chemotherapy response among patients with different GSTT1 genotypes."],["dc.identifier.isi","000239239800008"],["dc.identifier.pmid","16874663"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/24391"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","F Hernandez"],["dc.relation.issn","0213-3911"],["dc.title","Expression of glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) in human brain tumours"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details PMID PMC WOS2001Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","1297"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","7"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Journal of Cell Science"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","1307"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","114"],["dc.contributor.author","Nico, B."],["dc.contributor.author","Frigeri, A."],["dc.contributor.author","Nicchia, G.
