Use of subunit-specific antisense oligodeoxynucleotides to define developmental changes in the properties of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors

Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides were used to determine whether alterations in the expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit mRNA are responsible for developmental changes in the sensitivity of receptors to agonists and antagonists. Xenopus laevis oocytes were injected with mRNA prepared from neonatal and adult rat cerebral cortex, and the effects of agonists and antagonists were determined under voltage-clamp conditions. Glycine-site antagonists like 7-chlorokynurenate and glutamate-site antagonists like CGP-39653 were more potent at NMDA receptors expressed from mRNA from adult rat cerebral cortex than those expressed from mRNA from 1-day-old rat. NMDA receptors from 1-day-old rat cerebral cortex were more sensitive to activation by glycine than were receptors from adult rat cerebral cortex. 7-Chlorokynurenate and CGP-39653 were more potent inhibitors of responses seen with heteromeric NR1/NR2A receptors than with NR1/ NR2B receptors. Conversely, heteromeric NR1/NR2B receptors were more sensitive to activation by glycine than were NR1/NR2A receptors. We previously described a delay in the expression of the NR2A subunit in developing rat brain. Anti-sense oligodeoxynucleotides were used to determine whether the delayed expression of the NR2A subunit underlies changes in pharmacological properties observed during development. The properties of receptors seen when adult brain mRNA was coinjected with antisense oligodeoxynucleotides against the NR2A subunit were similar to those found in receptors from 1-day-old rat brain. These data suggest that changes in the sensitivity of NMDA receptors to antagonists and to glycine seen during development are a result of alterations in the expression of different species of NR2 subunit mRNA.     

Finite twist and extension of a cylindrical elastic membrane

Summary We consider a circular cylindrical membrane subjected to longitudinal extension and twist. The associated equilibrium deformation is considered to be axisymmetric and the analysis is based on a direct two-dimensional formulation. Wrinkling of the membrane is taken into account in an approximate way by introducing arelaxed strain energy function derived from the neo-Hookean strain energy for isotropic elastic solids. Analytical formulae for wrinkled parts of the membrane are used to corroborate the results of a numerical treatment of the full boundary value problem.Dedicated to the memory of A. C. Pipkin
