AB  - Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder with a very fast progression, no diagnostic tool for the presymptomatic phase, and still no effective treatment of the disease. Although ALS affects motor neurons, the overall pathophysiological condition points out to the non-cell autonomous mechanisms, where astrocytes and microglia play crucial roles in the disease progression. We have already shown that IgG from sera of ALS patients (ALS IgG) induce calcium transients and an increase in the mobility of acidic vesicles in cultured rat astrocytes. Having in mind the role of microglia in neurodegeneration, and a well-documented fact that oxidative stress is one of the many components contributing to the disease, we decided to examine the effect of ALS IgG on activation, oxidative stress and antioxidative system of BV-2 microglia, and to evaluate their acute effect on cytosolic peroxide, pH, and on reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. All tested ALS IgGs (compared to control IgG) induced oxidative stress (rise in nitric oxide and the index of lipid peroxidation) followed by release of TNF-α and higher antioxidative defense (elevation of Mn- and CuZn-superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione reductase with a decrease of glutathione peroxidase and glutathione) after 24 h treatment. Both ALS IgG and control IgG showed same localization on the membrane of BV-2 cells following 24 h treatment. Cytosolic peroxide and pH alteration were evaluated with fluorescent probes HyPer and SypHer, respectively, having in mind that HyPer also reacts to pH changes. Out of 11 tested IgGs from ALS patients, 4 induced slow exponential rise of HyPer signal, with maximal normalized fluorescence in the range 0.2–0.5, also inducing similar increase of SypHer intensity, but of a lower amplitude. None of the control IgGs induced changes with neither of the indicators. Acute ROS generation was detected in one out of three tested ALS samples with carboxy-H2DCFDA. The observed phenomena demonstrate the potential role of inflammatory humoral factors, IgGs, as potential triggers of the activation in microglia, known to occur in later stages of ALS. Therefore, revealing the ALS IgG signaling cascade in microglial cells could offer a valuable molecular biomarker and/or a potential therapeutic target.

AB  - The extracellular matrix glycoprotein tenascin-C (TnC) has been increasingly appreciated as a molecule susceptibly reacting to abnormalities in the mammalian immune system. TnC expression is elevated in inflamed tissues outside the immune system, but also in lymphoid organs. It participates in the promotion of inflammatory responses. Here, the role of TnC in a paradigm of CNS autoimmunity was investigated. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of multiple sclerosis, was induced in mice deficient in TnC (TnC−/− mice). Amelioration of EAE was observed in these mice in comparison to their wild-type (TnC+/+) littermates. Since T helper (Th)1 and Th17 cells play a dominant role in the pathogenesis of EAE, these cells were investigated in addition to analyzing locomotor functions and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Smaller numbers of interferon-gamma-producing Th1 cells and reduced ability of Th17 cells to produce interleukin-17 were observed in spleens of TnC−/− mice challenged by immunization with the myelin associated glycoprotein (MOG) when compared to TnC+/+ mice. There was no difference in Th1 and Th17 responses in non-immunized TnC−/− and TnC+/+ mice, thus excluding generalized immunosuppression in TnC−/− mice. These results show that TnC is important for the pathogenesis of CNS autoimmunity and that its deficiency interferes with Th1 and Th17 encephalitogenic potentials.

AB  - Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) was applied for in vivo detection of oxidative stress induced by high ionic strengths in Centaurium erythraea Rafn (Gentianaceae), a herbaceous perennial often found on saline soils. Shoots of C. erythraea were cultured in vitro for 4 weeks on solid 1/2 MS medium, or 1/2 MS medium supplemented with 200 mM NaCl to induce salt stress and thus stimulate the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is a common response of plant cells subjected to various types of biotic or abiotic stresses. The reduction of a stable cell-permeable aminoxyl radical spin probe, Tempo, was measured to assess the oxidative status of the control and salt-treated samples. In both types of samples, the reduction of Tempo showed zero-order kinetics. After one hour, the control reduced only 9% of the initial amount of the spin probe, whereas the sample grown with 200 mM NaCl reduced it by 20%. This may indicate that the plants grown in the presence of 200 mM NaCl produced higher amounts of ROS which are able to reduce the aminoxyl radical. The obtained results indicate that EPR can be used as a method for in vivo evaluation of the redox state of plants under stress conditions, and could also be useful in determining the salt-stress tolerance of plants. Further
studies, including different salt concentrations, and plant species, have to be conducted to verify these findings.

During dehydration, the total phenolic and flavonoid contents of leaf extracts significantly increased, and then gradually decreased upon rehydration. These changes directly correspond to the observed antioxidant activity of extracts towards
the hydrophobic free radical DPPH. The scavenging potential towards the hydrophilic radical Tempone was maximal after 3 h of rehydration, indicating a strong oxidative burst upon water uptake.

AB  - The tetanus toxin C (TTC) fragment capacity of being transported in a retrograde way through motoneurons and its nontoxic nature opens the door to a new promising therapeutic strategy for neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, the TTC effect was tested for the first time in animal model of global cerebral ischemia induced by 10-min occlusion of both common carotid arteries. The aim was to evaluate the effect of TTC gene therapy treatment on the development and expression of global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion-induced oxidative stress and motor hyperactivity in Mongolian gerbils. Several oxidative stress and motor behavioral parameters were investigated between 2 h and 14 days after reperfusion. Neuroprotective efficiency of TTC was observed in the forebrain cortex, striatum, hippocampus, and cerebellum at the level of each examined oxidative stress parameter (nitric oxide level, superoxide production, superoxide dismutase activity, and index of lipid peroxidation). Additionally, TTC significantly decreased ischemia-induced motor hyperactivity based on tested parameters (locomotion, stereotypy, and rotations). As judged by biochemical as well as behavioral data, treatment with TTC for the first time showed neuroprotective efficiency by reduction of ischemia-induced oxidative stress and motor hyperactivity and can be a promising strategy for ischemia-induced neuronal damage treatment.
