A Drosophila DEG/ENaC Subunit Functions Specifically In Gustatory Neurons Required For Male Courtship Behavior
Detection of specific female pheromones stimulates courtship behavior in Drosophila melanogaster males, but the chemosensory molecules, cells, and mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. Here we show that ppk25, a DEG/ENaC ion channel subunit required for normal male response to females, is expressed at highest levels in a single sexually dimorphic gustatory neuron of most taste hairs on legs and wings, but not in neurons that detect courtship-inhibiting pheromones or food. Synaptic inactivation of ppk25-expressing neurons, or knockdown of ppk25 expression in all gustatory neurons, significantly impairs male response to females, whereas gustatory expression of ppk25 rescues the courtship behavior of ppk25 mutant males. Remarkably, the only other detectable albeit significantly weaker expression of ppk25 occurs in olfactory neurons implicated in modulation of courtship behavior. However, expression of ppk25 in olfactory neurons is not required for male courtship under our experimental conditions. These data show that ppk25 functions specifically in peripheral taste neurons involved in activation of courtship behavior, an unexpected function for this type of channel. Furthermore, our work identifies a small subset of gustatory neurons with an essential role in activation of male courtship behavior, most likely in response to female pheromones
Depression, cognitive dysfunction and other factors associated with 5-year overall mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus: a pilot prospective observational study
BACKGROUND: Psychological predictors of overall mortality in the Russian population of Type 2 diabetic patients and their impact compared to biological risk factors have not been studied.AIM. To identify clinical, laboratory and psychological factors independently associated with the 5-year overall mortality in Type 2 diabetic patients in the Moscow region.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This open label observational prospective study included 178 consecutive type 2 diabetic patients (women 145, men 33, age range 37 to 82 years, duration of diabetes 0,5 to 30 years). At baseline, in addition to the standard clinical, laboratory and instrumental work-up, all patients were assessed for depression, cognitive dysfunction and diabetes-related quality of life. No study-related intervention was performed; all patients were followed up and treated by their local physicians. After 5 years, we assessed the patientsβ vital status (alive or dead). Multiple logistic regression was used to identify baseline patientsβ characteristics, which were significantly and independently associated with 5-year overall mortality. Taking into account the exploratory type of multiple regression, the results were considered significant at Ξ±<0.1.RESULTS: At 5 years, 150 (84%) patients were alive and 15 (8,4%) were dead; no information could be obtained for the rest 13 (7,3%) patients. The analysis of 165 patients with the verified outcome, independent and significant associations with the death outcome were found for male gender (odds ratio [OR] 6,36 [95%CI 0,91β44.40]; p=0.06), age (OR 2.06 [1.30β3.27]; p<0.002), chronic heart failure (CHF) (OR 2.78 [1.25β6.2]; Ρ=0.012), Hamilton depression scale score (OR 1,18 [1.03β1.34]; Ρ=0.016), cognitive dysfunction score (Roschina scale) (OR 1.20 [1.05β1.35]; Ρ=0.006), and age β body mass index interaction (OR 0,98 [0,97β0,997]; Ρ = 0,013). The predicted probability of death within the next 5 years in men and women was 22,9% and 6,7%, respectively. The highest score of cognitive dysfunction was associated with a 25% predicted probability of death and the lowest, with a 2% probability of death; predicted probabilities of death for the highest and lowest depression scores were 26% and 2%, respectively. The 5-year predicted probability of death in the patients without CHF was 6,7%, with CHF I NYHA functional class, 9,8%, II functional class 13,6%, III functional class 18,2%, and IV functional class 23,5%. All other baseline clinical, laboratory, demographic, psychological and socioeconomic variables were not significantly associated with the 5-year survival rate. The model was not verified on an external cohort.CONCLUSION: Cognitive dysfunction and depression have a significant negative impact on the 5-year mortality rate at much higher degree, than glycemic control, any diabetes-related complications and cardiovascular disorders, excluding CHF. The results obtained highlight the importance of the diagnosis and treatment of depression and cognitive dysfunction inΒ type 2 diabetes mellitus
Analysis of Bj fibroblasts mitochondrial respiratory chain function under glucose starvation and exposure to different doses of rotenone: Implications for neurogenerative diseases
Certain neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson and Alzheimer, are characterizing by an impairment in mitochondrial function and biogenesis, which may lead to pathological changes in the central nervous system. From this putative link stems a growing interest in changes to the mitochondrial electron transport chain and the ensuing energy dysfunction in neuronal cells and connective tissue cells under normal and pathological conditions. Fibroblasts involved in the formation of microenvironments of different types of specialized cells from the nervous system and their dysfunction may contribute to the pathogenesis of disease as well. In this regard, we have obtained stressful conditions of human dermal fibroblasts approximating of the pathological phenotype observed in Parkinson's disease. Was studied the expression and activity of the protein complexes of the mitochondria respiratory chain including translocase TOM20 under inhibition of NADH dehydrogenase and maintaining of oxidative stress
Efficacy of metformin for treatment and prevention of antipsychotic-induced overweight and obesity in women: an open-label, randomized, prospective placebo-controlled study
Background: The prevalence of obesity and metabolic abnormalities is increased patients with mental disorders receiving psychopharmacotherapy, which significantly impairs their treatment adherence.Aims: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of metformin in prevention and treatment obesity and overweight in patients with mental disorders receiving antipsychotics.Materials and methods: This was an open-label, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled study of female patients with mental disorders (age, 18 to 50). The patients were randomized into two groups in a 2:1 ratio: the treatment group received metformin and the control group received placebo. Metformin was administered at a starting dose of 500 mg daily, with subsequent up-titration every 2 weeks when necessary, up to 2000 mg daily. The treatment duration was 6 months.Results: Baseline BMI in the treatment group (N=62) was 27,3 [24,0; 30,4] kg/m2; it decreased to 26,0 [22,5; 30,5] kg/m2, p < 0.0001, WilΡoxon test) after 6 months of treatment. The patients receiving metformin decreased their body weight by 3 [-6; 0] kg, orΒ -4,0 [-8; 0] %. In the placebo group (N=30), the baseline BMI was 27,5 [24,0; 32,0] kg/m2 and increased to 28,2 [25,8; 34,0] kg/m2 at 6 month (p=0.001, WilΡoxon test), or 3 [1; 6] kg. After 6 months of treatment, the difference in BMI between the metformin and placebo groups was significant (26,0 ΠΈ 28,2 kg/m2, respectively, Ρ=0,027, Mann-Withney test). Six (6) of 62 patients treated with metformin had side effects and were switched to an equivalent dose of prolonged release metformin, with reduction of side effects in 5 of them.Conclusions: The use of metformin in patients with mental disorders receiving antipsychotics allows for reduction or stabilization of body weight in 80% of cases, with β₯5% decrease of body weight in 44% of patients. It is recommended to start metformin at a dose of 500 mg daily with subsequent up-titration of up to 2000 mg if necessary
IMMUNE PREDICTORS OF FIBROGENESIS AND THEIR APPLICATION FOR NON-INVASIVE DIAGNOSTICS OF LIVER FIBROSIS IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC VIRAL HEPATITIS
The study was devoted to development of non-invasive methods for diagnosis of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic viral hepatitis (CVH). The stepwise logistic multivariate regression analysis of biochemical (PTI, glucose, albumin, AST, LDH) and immunological parameters (the functional activity of neutrophils and monocytes, the relative content of CD8+ T- and CD19+B-cells) was used for the establishment of diagnostic model. Based on the multiple regression analysis we derived a 2 novel Integral Indexes of Liver Fibrosis (IILF-biochem and IILF-immun, respectively). It is shown that IILF-biochem allows, without resorting to liver biopsy to predict the appropriate stage of fibrosis in CHV patients with diagnostic accuracy of 86β87 %, and in combination with IILF β at 97.7 %
