Functional and Molecular Properties of DYT-SGCE Myoclonus-Dystonia Patient-Derived Striatal Medium Spiny Neurons

Myoclonus-dystonia (DYT-SGCE, formerly DYT11) is characterized by alcohol-sensitive, myoclonic-like appearance of fast dystonic movements. It is caused by mutations in the SGCE gene encoding ε-sarcoglycan leading to a dysfunction of this transmembrane protein, alterations in the cerebello-thalamic pathway and impaired striatal plasticity. To elucidate underlying pathogenic mechanisms, we investigated induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs) from two myoclonus-dystonia patients carrying a heterozygous mutation in the SGCE gene (c.298T>G and c.304C>T with protein changes W100G and R102X) in comparison to two matched healthy control lines. Calcium imaging showed significantly elevated basal intracellular Ca²⁺ content and lower frequency of spontaneous Ca²⁺ signals in SGCE MSNs. Blocking of voltage-gated Ca²⁺ channels by verapamil was less efficient in suppressing KCl-induced Ca²⁺ peaks of SGCE MSNs. Ca²⁺ amplitudes upon glycine and acetylcholine applications were increased in SGCE MSNs, but not after GABA or glutamate applications. Expression of voltage-gated Ca²⁺ channels and most ionotropic receptor subunits was not altered. SGCE MSNs showed significantly reduced GABAergic synaptic density. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings displayed elevated amplitudes of miniature postsynaptic currents and action potentials in SGCE MSNs. Our data contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiology and the development of novel therapeutic strategies for myoclonus-dystonia.     

Therapeutic Effects of hiPSC-Derived Glial and Neuronal Progenitor Cells-Conditioned Medium in Experimental Ischemic Stroke in Rats

Transplantation of various types of stem cells as a possible therapy for stroke has been tested for years, and the results are promising. Recent investigations have shown that the administration of the conditioned media obtained after stem cell cultivation can also be effective in the therapy of the central nervous system pathology (hypothesis of their paracrine action). The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of the conditioned medium of hiPSC-derived glial and neuronal progenitor cells in the rat middle cerebral artery occlusion model of the ischemic stroke. Secretory activity of the cultured neuronal and glial progenitor cells was evaluated by proteomic and immunosorbent-based approaches. Therapeutic effects were assessed by overall survival, neurologic deficit and infarct volume dynamics, as well as by the end-point values of the apoptosis- and inflammation-related gene expression levels, the extent of microglia/macrophage infiltration and the numbers of formed blood vessels in the affected area of the brain. As a result, 31% of the protein species discovered in glial progenitor cells-conditioned medium and 45% in neuronal progenitor cells-conditioned medium were cell type specific. The glial progenitor cell-conditioned media showed a higher content of neurotrophins (BDNF, GDNF, CNTF and NGF). We showed that intra-arterial administration of glial progenitor cells-conditioned medium promoted a faster decrease in neurological deficit compared to the control group, reduced microglia/macrophage infiltration, reduced expression of pro-apoptotic gene Bax and pro-inflammatory cytokine gene Tnf, increased expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine genes (Il4, Il10, Il13) and promoted the formation of blood vessels within the damaged area. None of these effects were exerted by the neuronal progenitor cell-conditioned media. The results indicate pronounced cytoprotective, anti-inflammatory and angiogenic properties of soluble factors secreted by glial progenitor cells.     

Stereocomplex Crystallization Induced Significant Improvement in Transparency and Stiffness–Toughness Performance of Core-Shell Rubber Nanoparticles Toughened Poly(l-lactide) Blends

Toughening modification of poly(l -lactide) (PLLA) with rubber particles is often realized at the cost of transparency, mechanical strength, and modulus because high rubber loadings are generally required for toughening. In this work, a promising strategy to simultaneously improve the transparency and stiffness–toughness performance of poly(butyl acrylate)-poly(methyl methacrylate) (BAMMA) core-shell rubber nanoparticles toughened PLLA blends by utilizing the stereocomplex (SC) crystallization between PLLA and poly(d -lactide) (PDLA) is devised. The results reveal that the construction of SC crystallites in PLLA matrix via melt-mixing PLLA/BAMMA blends with PDLA can prevent BAMMA nanoparticles from aggregation and promote them to form network-like structure at lower contents. As a result, not only higher toughening efficiency with less rubber contents but also superior transparency is achieved in the PLLA/PDLA/BAMMA blends as compared with the PLLA/BAMMA ones where large aggregated BAMMA clusters are formed. Moreover, the outstanding reinforcement of SC crystallites network for PLLA can impart an enhanced tensile strength and modulus to PLLA/PDLA/BAMMA blends, thus improving the stiffness–toughness performance of PLLA/PDLA/BAMMA blends to a higher degree. This work demonstrates that SC crystallization is a promising solution to solve the contradiction between transparency and mechanical properties and then obtain superior comprehensive performances in rubber toughened PLLA blends.     

含硅镍低密度钢的温拉伸力学行为及强韧机制

 为了分析硅镍合金化奥氏体基低密度钢在中温环境下的拉伸变形行为,采用Instron电子拉力试验机对Fe-28.64Mn-8.99Al-1.68Si-1.39Ni-1.0C(Mn29Al9Si2Ni,质量分数/%)低密度钢在23~300 ℃下进行了温拉伸试验,研究了该钢的温拉伸力学行为,并采用SEM、TEM和热力学计算对该钢的强韧化机制进行了研究。结果表明,随着应变的增加,温拉伸应力-应变曲线主要包括弹性变形、均匀塑性变形和断裂等几个过程,没有明显的屈服现象。随着温度的提高,该钢的强度逐渐降低,塑性(断后伸长率)先增加后减小再升高,于200 ℃时出现塑性低谷,此时该钢的应力-应变曲线和应变硬化率曲线均具有明显的锯齿状特征,应变硬化率随应变的增加变化不大。而该钢在其他温度下的应力-应变曲线和应变硬化率曲线没有发现明显的“锯齿状”特征,应变硬化率随应变的增加而平缓下降。试验钢在23~300 ℃下的主要强韧化机制为κ-碳化物强化、应变强化、孪生诱发塑性和动态应变时效强化。较低温度下位错可动性较差对孪生诱发的促进作用、镍元素和硅元素对孪生的抑制作用、较高温度下孪生现象的减弱和温度对动态应变时效的促进或抑制作用等使得试验钢在23、100和300 ℃时存在明显的孪生诱发塑性,而在200 ℃时存在明显的动态应变时效强化的主要原因。动态应变时效强化是该钢在200 ℃时出现塑性低谷的主要原因。

应变速率对中碳低温贝氏体钢强塑性的影响

摘要：为探索低温贝氏体钢的断裂行为,研究应变速率对低温贝氏体钢TRIP效应的影响,采用不同应变速率的拉伸试验对低温贝氏体钢的强塑性进行研究。利用扫描电镜（SEM）、透射电镜（TEM）及X射线衍射（XRD）等试验方法对低温贝氏体钢的微观组织、断口形貌及裂纹走向进行表征。结果表明,随着应变速率的提高,试验钢的屈服强度由771MPa上升至806MPa,抗拉强度由1554MPa上升至1606MPa,断后伸长率由13.5%下降至9.0%。主要原因是高应变速率拉伸引发的绝热温升抑制了残余奥氏体的马氏体相变,对试验钢塑性造成负面影响。
