Science Department of Cytology aims to study the molecular and cellular mechanisms of nervous tissue damage arising from the development of neurodegenerative diseases (cerebral ischemia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease) or accompanying pathological states (perinatal pathology of the central nervous system, brain injury, stress, exocrine pancreatic failure), and study approaches to the prevention and correction of neurodegenerative processes. An important part of research is testing pharmacological agents to identify their neuroprotective properties. Studying the possibilities of using embryonic nervous tissue and stem cells to correct neurodegenerative processes caused by cerebral ischemia also has been started.

[[File:Synapsys.jpg|300px|thumb|Types of synapses red arrow - simple, yellow - perforated, green - multiple]] Scientists of the department found that short-term cerebral ischemia in model systems (in vitro and in vivo) causes the development of destructive changes of neurons and synaptic reorganization of staff in CA1 area of the hippocampus - a brain structure that is responsible for the processes of memory formation and learning and is highly sensitive to lack of oxygen and glucose. With light and electron microscopy were investigated structural characteristics of delayed neuronal death of hippocampal CA1 area in ischemic effects of varying duration and period of reperfusion. Established in early periods of ischemic damage occurs synaptic remodeling apparatus, namely changing the spatial distribution of synaptic vesicles at presynaptic terminals, increasing the thickness and density of postsynaptic podovzhenist, changing the ratio of types of synaptic terminals upwards and multiple perforated significantly increased volume astroglial processes and their contact area of pre- and postsynaptic elements synapses. These data suggest that ischemic effect induces synaptic plastic adjustment device, and a clear correlation between changes in structural elements confirms the concept of "tripartite synapse", according to which astroglial processes that envelop the synapse, the third functional component with presynaptic bud and postsynaptic terminal.

The research activity of the Department of Cytology is focused on the study of cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration in different parts of the nervous system and the search for neuroprotective approaches. The current research topics of the Department are:
 +
* genetically determined molecular mechanisms of intercellular and intracellular signaling in norm and pathology in vitro (brain ischemia, Alzheimer’s disease)
 +
* molecular and cellular mechanisms of endogenous neuroprotection in the models of neurodegenerative diseases in vivo and in vitro (brain ischemia)
 +
* regenerative properties of different origin stem cells and peculiarities of their application at experimentally induced neurodegenerative pathologies in vivo (brain ischemia, perinatal CNS pathology, neuroinflammation)
 +
* development of biosafety criteria for stem cell cultivation
 +
* cell mechanisms driving brain tissue degeneration in the rotenone model of Parkinson's disease
 +
* dependence of structural and functional features of the brain on the function of the gastrointestinal tract (metabolic syndrome, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency) in vivo and in vitro
 +
* effect of substances with antioxidant properties on the nervous tissue recovery of experimental animals during the brain ischemia-reperfusion

[[File:Hippocamp.jpg|250px|thumb|Three-dimensional reconstruction to study synaptic plasticity of hippocampal neurons and glial response to ischemic lesions|left]] In the model of cultured hippocampal slices was shown that a shortage of oxygen and glucose pyramidal neurons of the hippocampus CA1 area are the most vulnerable. Intercalary, astroglial and microglial cells compared were more resistant to oxygen-glucose derivation (SRM), moreover, their activation is observed, indicating the potential for interneurons and glia modulate pyramidal neurons function and affect the functioning of the system. Shows the change in the level of expression of subunits HIF-1α, HIF-3α, SERCA2b and PMCA1-2 in neurons and CA1 hippocampal area SA3 in response to holding SRM and anoxic preconditioning and reduce the number of damaged cells in both areas of the hippocampus with a stabilization of HIF-1.

It developed an original computer program image analysis using simulation in which cerebral ischemia in vivo and in vitro was investigated synaptic changes in the spatial distribution of vesicles in the terminal area CA1 of the hippocampus. It is shown that after an ischemic episode spatial cluster formed vesicles become more diffuse, and most organelles were removed from the active synapse zone.

In the study of correction of ischemic brain damage data were obtained regarding the neuroprotective action of aromatic amino acids, FGL - peptide mimetics NCAM, bioflavonoids, including Corvitin. In terms of experimental cerebral ischemia was found neuroprotective effect of hypoxic pre- and postconditioning the state CA1 area of the hippocampus.

[[File:Stemcell.jpg|300px|thumb|The integration of stem cells in the nervous tissue in ischemic damage]] In model systems in vivo and in vitro study was conducted regenerative potential of stem cells of different origins in ischemic lesions. It is shown that stem cells transplanted after experimental ischemic impact in both models are able to survive in the long term the recipient tissue, differentiate into mature neurons as well as in astroglial cells, and integrate into the tissue of the recipient. It was established that stereotactic transplantation neural progenitor cells promotes restoration of spatial memory in animals after ischemic brain damage.

On clinic patients with ischemic stroke frequency of allelic polymorphism were studied genes encoding subunits of constitutional and imunoproteasom. When ischemic stroke in vivo had been replayed three types of proteolytic activity of the proteasome were measured (trypsin-, chymotrypsin-like and peptide-glutamil peptide-hydrolase) in the brain tissue of rats. These data suggest proteasome dysfunction in conditions of ischemic stroke.

Our research

The research activity of the Department of Cytology is focused on the study of cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration in different parts of the nervous system and the search for neuroprotective approaches. The current research topics of the Department are:

  • genetically determined molecular mechanisms of intercellular and intracellular signaling in norm and pathology in vitro (brain ischemia, Alzheimer’s disease)
  • molecular and cellular mechanisms of endogenous neuroprotection in the models of neurodegenerative diseases in vivo and in vitro (brain ischemia)
  • regenerative properties of different origin stem cells and peculiarities of their application at experimentally induced neurodegenerative pathologies in vivo (brain ischemia, perinatal CNS pathology, neuroinflammation)
  • development of biosafety criteria for stem cell cultivation
  • cell mechanisms driving brain tissue degeneration in the rotenone model of Parkinson's disease
  • dependence of structural and functional features of the brain on the function of the gastrointestinal tract (metabolic syndrome, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency) in vivo and in vitro
  • effect of substances with antioxidant properties on the nervous tissue recovery of experimental animals during the brain ischemia-reperfusion



  • Synapses with continuous (A) and perforated (B) postsynaptic densities (red lines) between host dendritic spines (ds, brown) and grafted GFP+/DAB+ presynaptic axon terminals (at, green) in the contralateral somatosensory cortex of stroke-injured rats. (Scale bar – 0.2 μm) Source
  • The GIF animation created using serial electron micrographs of the hippocampal CA1 area, illustrating the direct interaction of the pyramidal neuron and astrocyte by exocytosis/endocytosis (to see that animation, open full image) Source
  • FGF-2-Overexpressing Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells (FGF-2-NPCs) made contact with blood vessels at sites with astrocyte coverage, but no pericytes Source
  • Synapses in СА1 stratum radiatum in vivo Red arrow-simple, yellow-multiple, green-perforated Source
  • 3D reconstructions of spine synapses contacted by glia under ischemic conditions Source

Research objects

  • Animals: rats, mice, gerbils, pigs;
  • Cell cultures: organotypic cultures of the hippocampus, dissociated cultures of CNS neurons, enteric neuron cultures.

Research methods

  • modelling of neurodegenerative states in vivo (cerebral ischemia, Parkinson’s disease, neuroinflammation, perinatal pathology of CNS, metabolic syndrome, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency) and in vitro (cerebral ischemia, Alzheimer’s disease, stress);
  • light, confocal, and transmission electron microscopy;
  • immunohistochemistry;
  • behavioral tests (open field, balance beam walking, Morris water maze, T- maze)
  • immunoblotting;
  • morphometry: computerized image analysis, quantitative ultrastructural analysis.

Collaboration

  • Lund Stem Cell Center, Lund University, Lund, Sweden;
  • Food for Health Science Center, Lund University, Lund, Sweden;
