    Abstract The gut peptide cholecystokinin (CCK) is released during feeding and promotes satiation by increasing excitation of vagal afferent neurons that innervate the upper gastrointestinal tract. Vagal afferent neurons express CCK1 receptors (CCK1Rs) in the periphery and at central terminals in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS). While the effects of CCK have been studied for decades, CCK receptor signaling and coupling to membrane ion channels are not entirely understood. Previous findings have implicated L-type voltage-gated calcium channels as well as transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in mediating the effects of CCK, but the lack of selective pharmacology has made determining the contributions of these putative mediators difficult. The nonselective ion channel transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 1 (TRPV1) is expressed throughout vagal afferent neurons and controls many forms of signaling, including spontaneous glutamate release onto NTS neurons. Here we tested the hypothesis that CCK1Rs couple directly to TRPV1 to mediate vagal signaling using fluorescent calcium imaging and brainstem electrophysiology. We found that CCK signaling at high concentrations (low-affinity binding) was potentiated in TRPV1-containing afferents and that TRPV1 itself mediated the enhanced CCK1R signaling. While competitive antagonism of TRPV1 failed to alter CCK1R signaling, TRPV1 pore blockade or genetic deletion (TRPV1 KO) significantly reduced the CCK response in cultured vagal afferents and eliminated its ability to increase spontaneous glutamate release in the NTS. Together, these results establish that TRPV1 mediates the low-affinity effects of CCK on vagal afferent activation and control of synaptic transmission in the brainstem.

    Abstract Meningiomas are the most common feline primary brain tumours, and calvarial hyperostosis (CH) is frequently documented in association with this neoplastic entity. The clinical significance of and mechanisms driving the formation of CH in cats with meningiomas are poorly understood, although tumour invasion into the skull and tumour production of cytokines and enzymes have been implicated as causes of CH in humans. This retrospective study investigated relationships between signalment, MRI or CT imaging features, histopathologic tumour characteristics, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) isoenzyme concentrations, tumour expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2, MMP-9, and interleukin-6 (IL-6), and progression free survival times (PFS) following surgical treatment in 27 cats with meningiomas with (n = 15) or without (n = 12) evidence of CH. No significant differences in breed, age, sex, body weight, tumour grade, tumour volume, peritumoral edema burden, ALP isoenzyme concentrations, tumour Ki-67 labelling indices or MMP-2 or MMP-9 expression and activity, or PFS were noted between cats with or without CH. There was a trend towards higher serum (p = .06) and intratumoral (p = .07) concentrations of IL-6 in cats with CH, but these comparisons were not statistically significant. Histologic evidence of tumour invasion into bone was observed in 5/12 (42%) with CH and in no (0/6) cats without CH, although this was not statistically significant (p = .07). Tumour invasion into bone and tumour production of IL-6 may contribute to the formation of meningioma associated CH in cats, although larger studies are required to further substantiate these findings and determine their clinical relevance.

    Abstract Pharmacologic inhibition of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) represents a stress test for tumor cells and T cells. Mechanisms exist that allow cells to survive this stress, including suboptimal target block, alternative signaling pathways, and autophagy. Rapamycin-resistant effector T (T-Rapa) cells have an altered phenotype that associates with increased function. Ex vivo rapamycin, when used in combination with polarizing cytokines and antigen-presenting-cell free costimulation, is a flexible therapeutic approach as polarization to T-helper 1 (Th1)- or Th2-type effectors is possible. Murine T-Rapa cells skewed toward a Th2-type prevented graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) more potently than control Th2 cells and effectively balanced GVHD and graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effects. A phase II clinical trial using low-intensity allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation demonstrated that interleukin-4 polarized human T-Rapa cells had a mixed Th2/Th1 phenotype; T-Rapa cell recipients had a balanced Th2/Th1 cytokine profile, conversion of mixed chimerism toward full donor chimerism, and a potentially favorable balance between GVHD and GVT effects. In addition, a phase I clinical trial evaluating autologous T-Rapa cells skewed toward a Th1- and Tc1-type is underway. Use of ex vivo rapamycin to modulate effector T-cell function represents a promising new approach to transplantation therapy.
