    Abstract Microglia are resident innate immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS) and play important roles in the development of CNS homeostasis. Excessive activation and neurotoxicity of microglia are observed in several CNS disorders, but the mechanisms regulating their activation remain unclear. Immune checkpoint molecules are expressed on activated immune cells and regulate their activation in peripheral immunity. However, the expression mechanism of immune checkpoint molecules in activated microglia is still unknown. Here, we analyzed the expression of immune checkpoint molecules in activated microglia using the mouse microglial cell line BV2 and primary cultured microglia. The expression of lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3), a type of immune checkpoint molecule, was increased in microglia activated by IFN-γ. IFN-γ-induced LAG-3 expression in microglia was suppressed by transfection of siRNA targeting STAT1. LAG-3 has two forms, membrane and soluble, and both forms were upregulated in microglia activated by IFN-γ. The production of soluble LAG-3 was suppressed by treatment with inhibitors of metalloproteinases such as ADAM10 and ADAM17. IFN-γ administration into cisterna magna of mice increased LAG-3 expression in spinal microglia. Furthermore, LAG-3 knockdown in microglia promoted nitric oxide production by IFN-γ. Our results demonstrate that LAG-3 expression in microglia is induced by the IFN-γ-STAT1 pathway and soluble LAG-3 production is regulated via cleavage of membranous LAG-3 by metalloproteinases including ADAM10 and ADAM17.

    Abstract Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive compound known to regulate various vascular functions. However, despite the fact that many vascular functions are regulated by peri-vascular cells such as pericytes, the effect of LPA on brain pericytes has not been fully evaluated. Thus, we designed this study to evaluate the effects of LPA on brain pericytes. These experiments revealed that while LPA receptors (LPARs) are expressed in cultured pericytes from mouse brains, LPA treatment does not influence the proliferation of these cells but does have a profound impact on their migration, which is regulated via the expression of LPAR1. LPAR1 expression was also detected in human pericyte culture and LPA treatment of these cells also induced migration. Taken together these findings imply that LPA-LPAR1 signaling is one of the key mechanisms modulating pericyte migration, which may help to control vascular function during development and repair processes.

    Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal motor neuron disease in which non-cell-autonomous processes have been proposed as its cause. Non-neuronal cells that constitute the environment around motor neurons are known to mediate the pathogenesis of ALS. Perivascular macrophages (PVM) are immune cells that reside between the blood vessels of the central nervous system and the brain parenchyma; PVM are components of the neurovascular unit and regulate the integrity of the blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB). However, it is not known whether regulation of BSCB function by PVM is involved in the pathogenesis of ALS. Here, we used SOD1

    Abstract The high-affinity choline transporter CHT1 mediates choline uptake, the rate-limiting and regulatory step in acetylcholine synthesis at cholinergic presynaptic terminals. CHT1-medated choline uptake is specifically inhibited by hemicholinium-3, which is a type of choline analog that acts as a competitive inhibitor. Although the substrate choline and the inhibitor hemicholinium-3 are well-established ligands of CHT1, few potent ligands other than choline analogs have been reported. Here we show that tetrahydropyrimidine anthelmintics, known as nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists, act as competitive inhibitors of CHT1. A ligand-dependent trafficking assay in cell lines expressing human CHT1 was designed to search for CHT1 ligands from a collection of biologically active compounds. We found that morantel as well as other tetrahydropyrimidines, pyrantel and oxantel, potently inhibits the high-affinity choline uptake activity of CHT1 in a competitive manner similar to the inhibitor hemicholinium-3. They also inhibit the high-affinity choline transporter from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Finally, tetrahydropyrimidines potently inhibit the high-affinity choline uptake in rat brain synaptosomes at a low micromolar level, resulting in the inhibition of acetylcholine synthesis. The rank order of potency in synaptosomes is as follows: morantel > pyarantel > oxantel (K

    Abstract Animals on Earth need to hold postures and execute a series of movements under gravity and atmospheric pressure. VAChT-Cre is a transgenic Cre driver mouse line that expresses Cre recombinase selectively in motor neurons of S-type (slow-twitch fatigue-resistant) and FR-type (fast-twitch fatigue-resistant). Sequential motor unit recruitment is a fundamental principle for fine and smooth locomotion; smaller-diameter motor neurons (S-type, FR-type) first contract low-intensity oxidative type I and type IIa muscle fibers, and thereafter larger-diameter motor neurons (FInt-type, FF-type) are recruited to contract high-intensity glycolytic type IIx and type IIb muscle fibers. To selectively eliminate S- and FR-type motor neurons, VAChT-Cre mice were crossbred with NSE-DTA mice in which the cytotoxic diphtheria toxin A fragment (DTA) was expressed in Cre-expressing neurons. The VAChT-Cre;NSE-DTA mice were born normally but progressively manifested various characteristics, including body weight loss, kyphosis, kinetic and postural tremor, and muscular atrophy. The progressive kinetic and postural tremor was remarkable from around 20 weeks of age and aggravated. Muscular atrophy was apparent in slow muscles, but not in fast muscles. The increase in motor unit number estimation was detected by electromyography, reflecting compensatory re-innervation by remaining FInt- and FF-type motor neurons to the orphaned slow muscle fibers. The muscle fibers gradually manifested fast/slow hybrid phenotypes, and the remaining FInt-and FF-type motor neurons gradually disappeared. These results suggest selective ablation of S- and FR-type motor neurons induces progressive muscle fiber-type transition, exhaustion of remaining FInt- and FF-type motor neurons, and late-onset kinetic and postural tremor in mice.

    Abstract Different and selective vulnerability among motor neuron subtypes are a fundamental, but unexplained, feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): fast-fatigable (FF) motor neurons are the most vulnerable, and fast fatigue-resistant/slow (FR/S) motor neurons are relatively resistant. We identified that osteopontin (OPN) can serve as a marker of FR/S motor neurons, whereas matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) is expressed by FF motor neurons in mice. In SOD1
