Aquaporin proteins in murine trophectoderm mediate transepithelial water movements during cavitation.

Mammalian blastocyst formation is dependent on establishment of trophectoderm (TE) ion and fluid transport mechanisms. We have examined the expression and function of aquaporin (AQP) water channels during murine preimplantation development. AQP 3, 8, and 9 proteins demonstrated cell margin-associated staining starting at the 8-cell (AQP 9) or compacted morula (AQP 3 and 8) stages. In blastocysts, AQP 3 and 8 were detected in the basolateral membrane domains of the trophectoderm, while AQP3 was also observed in cell margins of all inner cell mass (ICM) cells. In contrast, AQP 9 was predominantly observed within the apical membrane domains of the TE. Murine blastocysts exposed to hyperosmotic culture media (1800 mOsm; 10% glycerol) demonstrated a rapid volume decrease followed by recovery to approximately 80% of initial volume over 5 min. Treatment of blastocysts with p-chloromercuriphenylsulfonic acid (pCMPS, \u3e or =100 microM) for 5 min significantly impaired (P \u3c 0.05) volume recovery, indicating the involvement of AQPs in fluid transport across the TE. Blastocysts exposure to an 1800-mOsm sucrose/KSOMaa solution did not demonstrate volume recovery as observed following treatment with glycerol containing medium, indicating glycerol permeability via AQPs 3 and 9. These findings support the hypothesis that aquaporins mediate trans-trophectodermal water movements during cavitation

Når danske myndigheder taler forskelligt dansk: Begrebsafklaring med terminologiske ontologier

Terminological Ontology combines traditional terminology work with typed feature structures, thus providing a systematic and controlled method for concept clarification and definition writing. Terminological ontologies include a formalization of the inheritance of characteristics and a number of constraints which help experts formulate consistent intensional definitions. In this paper we illustrate the usefulness of Terminological Ontology with several examples from a scenario where various Danish authorities need to exchange digitized information. The authorities involved include units under the Ministry of Justice (the Prison and Probation Service, the Police, the Prosecution Service in Denmark, and the Danish Court Administration), the National Board of Social Services, and the Danish Agency for Digitisation. The examples evolve around the central concept of ‘case’, and show how concept clarification and harmonization is necessary in order to enable a seamless exchange of digitized information between these authorities, and in essence, between organizations in general. On this basis, it is concluded that there is a need for a shared, cross-ministerial concept and knowledge database with appointed terminologists to collaborate with and coordinate contributions from the interested parties in ministries, public agencies and other authorities
