[[File:Synapsys.jpg|300px|thumb|Synapses in СА1 stratum radiatum in vivo. Red arrow-simple, yellow-multiple, green-perforated]] The temporal dynamics of ischemia-related delayed death of neurons in CA1 area was investigated using light and electron microscopy. The conditions applied in this study induced the delayed pyramidal cell death associated with ultrastructural modifications in excitatory synapses on dendritic spines in the stratum radiatum of the CA1 hippocampal area.
+
----
The morphological ischemia-evoked remodeling of synapses manifested in following: alteration in proportion of different types of synapses, a depletion of synaptic vesicles in presynaptic terminals and changes in their spatial arrangement; a rapid increase of the postsynaptic density (PSD) thickness and length, formation of concave synapses with perforated PSD during the first 24 h after ischemic episode, a pronounced increase of the glial coverage of both pre- and postsynaptic structures.
+
  
[[File:Hippocamp.jpg|250px|thumb|3D reconstructions of spine synapses contacted by glia under ischemic conditions|left]] The obtained data indicates that ischemia induces remodeling of synapses in pyramidal cells of hippocampal CA1 area. The evident correlation between alterations of structural parameters of all three functional components of synapse structure (pre- and postsynaptic elements, glial processes) strongly support the concept of a “tripartite synapse” based on the notion that the astroglial processes enwrapping the synapse comprise a third functional component in addition to the presynaptic bouton and the postsynaptic terminal.

The relationship was found between ischemia induced structural changes in neurons and activity patterns of glial cells (astrocyte hypertrophy and hyperplasia of microglia).

Oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) of hippocampal cultured slices revealed that hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons are the most sensitive to oxygen-glucose deficit, while interneurons, astrocytes and microglia are more ischemia resistant and even get activated.  Study of the certain signaling pathways selective blocking reveals possible modulating effect of interneurons on viability of pyramidal neurons in hippocampus.

The level of expression of subunits HIF-1α, HIF-3α, SERCA2b and PMCA1-2 in neurons of CA1 and СА3 area of hippocampus changes in response to OGD and anoxic preconditioning. The number of damaged cells in both areas of the hippocampus reduces with a stabilization of HIF-1.
+
* Animals:  rats, mice, gerbils, pigs;
Developing of the original image analyzing program allowed us to determine changes in spatial patterns formed by synaptic vesicles in the CA1 synapses. It was shown that distances between individual vesicles increased while the organelles became more distant from the presynaptic membrane. It was found that during early after an ischemic damage the ratio of synaptic terminal types changed, the frequency of perforated and multiple synapses being increased. These changes may indicate ischemia-related synaptic plasticity.
+
* Cell cultures: organotypic cultures of the hippocampus, dissociated cultures of CNS neurons, enteric neuron cultures.
While researching the protective approaches against brain ischemia there was obtained the data indicating the neuroprotective properties of aromatic aminoacids, FGL - NCAM peptide mimetic, bioflavonoids, particularly korvitin, that enabled to recommend these compounds for pharmacological applications.

Study of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) in pigs discovered the dependence of  morphological and functional state of hippocampal neurons on pancreas exocrine functioning. Exogenous pancreatic-like enzymes are recovered in the gut and improve growth of exocrine pancreatic insufficient pigs.

[[File:Stemcell.jpg|300px|thumb|Transplanted stem cells synaptically integrate into host circuitry after ischemia]] Regenerative capacity of different lines of stem cells is studied using in vivo and in vitro models of cerebral ischemia. In both models it was displayed that hippocampus-derived NPCs transplanted into the ischemic brain are able to survive for long terms after grafting, differentiate into functional mature neurons, become synaptically integrated into host circuitry. Syngeneic NPC transplantation promoted cognitive function recovery after ischemic injury in vivo.

* 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);
made the comparison between changes in different types of proteasome activity and severity of ischemic injury and showed three types of decrease in proteolytic activity (trypsin-like, chymotrypsin-like, peptidyl-glutamyl peptide-hydrolyzing-like) in the brain tissues. These data suggest that ischemia may cause a severe alteration in proteasome stability and proteasome structure.

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;
  • Chebotarev State Institute of Gerontology NAMS of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine;
  • Oles Honchar Dnipro National University, Dnipro, Ukraine.
