Illness or injury to a show animal may be preventable by following a few guidelines. Providing a clean and safe environment and properly feeding, watering, and vaccinating animals will help to reduce the risks of experiencing illnesses and injuries. Owners should also learn how to identify signs of health problems, such as sudden changes in behavior or appearance, and prepare a first aid kit for use in the event of an emergency. Also, being familiar with emergency treatment guidelines will help owners protect themselves, prevent further injury to the animal, and properly administer care to the animal if appropriate.

Full textFatty acid–binding proteins (FABPs) are abundant intracellular proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids with high affinity. 9 different FABPs, with tissuespecific distribution, have been identified so far. The primary role of all the FABP family members is regulation of fatty acid uptake and intracellular transport. Heart-type FABP (H-FABP) is considered one of the most sensible and efficient markers of heart and brain damage, but to date the cross-reactivity limits its specific use. Brain-type FABP (B-FABP) might be considered as a good marker of brain damage, being expressed only in the nervous tissue. The aim of this work was to generate a diagnostic reagent specific for human B-FABP, not cross-reacting with H-FABP. The work has been articulated in two parts: in the first one, recombinant protein B-FABP was expressed in E. coli cells and purified by two subsequent chromatographies. The protein was then utilized as immunogen in New Zealand rabbits and BalbC mice, obtaining two antisera and 8 different hybridoma cells. The antibodies in the rabbit serum and in culture supernatant of hybridoma cells displayed different degrees of affinity for B-FABP and H-FABP; only one hybridoma cell was able to produce antibodies specific and selective for brain-type FABP, but the antibody low-titer level and the activity decrease after subsequent subcloning steps affected its application on B-FABP detection in biological fluids. To overcome the limits encountered in the first part of work, a computer-assisted approach on B-FABP was employed in order to identify the potentially most antigenic regions of the protein. Two synthetic peptides were produced with the selected sequences and inoculated in rabbits. Two polyclonal antibodies were obtained, pAb 2979/2980 and pAb 2981/2982. They showed specific and selective reactivity for human B-FABP, without crossreactions with H-FABP. Taken together, our experimental approach was effective for the generation of specific α-B-FABP antibodies; these results suggest the antibodies obtained could be utilized in ELISA and immunoblot analyses in order to value B-FABP as marker of neurological disorders with ischemic, infective and degenerative etiology.

Full textThe spinal cord is an extremely vital part of the central nervous system (CNS) and, although it is well protected by the spinal column, it can be damaged, resulting in serious consequences. Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to a disruption of the neuronal networks that are involved in many physiological functions. Since CNS axons of adult mammals do not regenerate following the lesion, and dead neurons and glial cells are not successfully replaced, this results in an irreversible functional loss in patients suffering from SCI. The pathophysiology of SCI involves two degenerative stages, known as primary and secondary injury. The first one results from the direct mechanical trauma to the spinal cord, directly causing cell death, damage to axons, and loss of myelin. This is followed by a secondary wave of tissue degeneration that can extend for several weeks, in which inflammation plays a crucial role. Although regeneration of damaged axons and replacement of lost neurons and glial cells are important goals for the restoration of the injured spinal cord, minimizing secondary damage to axons, neuronal cell bodies, myelin and glial cells that follows the initial trauma is likely to be more easily amenable to treatment. Since inflammation is a major contribution to secondary damage in SCI, targeting the detrimental actions of this physiological response could result in the development of novel approaches for the treatment of this pathology. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is an extracellular bioactive lipid with many physiological functions. It signals through six known G-protein coupled receptors (LPA1-6), which are classified into two families: Endothelial differentiation family gene (Edg) LPA receptors (LPA1-3) and Non-Edg family gene LPA receptors (LPA4-6). LPA synthesis is carried out by two different pathways: (i) by the action of the enzyme named autotaxin (ATX), which is the main responsible in synthesis of this lipid in plasma, and (ii) by action of the phospholipase A2 (PLA2) family enzymes, which are the main route of LPA synthesis in tissues. LPA is a key trigger of secondary damage after SCI, since its increased levels in the spinal cord parenchyma following injury leads to demyelination. Indeed, the lack of LPA1 and LPA2 signalling after SCI enhances functional recovery and myelin sparing. In this thesis, we show that activation of microglial LPA1 and LPA2 leads to oligodendrocyte cell death. We reveal that the cytotoxic actions underlying by microglial cells stimulated with LPA are mediated by the release of purines and the subsequent activation of P2X7 in oligodendrocytes. We also show that, unlike LPA1 and LPA2, LPA4 and LPA5 receptors do not contribute to SCI physiopathology. In the present thesis, we also show that pharmacological inhibition of ATX does not have any effect in functional outcomes and secondary tissue damage after SCI, suggesting that this enzyme is unlikely to be involved in the production of LPA in the spinal cord parenchyma after injury. We also demonstrate that combinatory targeting of LPA1 and LPA2 does not results in additive effects in SCI. Overall, the results shown here suggest that pharmacological inhibition of LPA1, and preferably LPA2, may open a new therapeutic avenue for the treatment of SCI.

During a concussion, mechanical forces cause neuron cell strain that initiates dysfunction through the indiscriminate movement of ions through protein channels. Extracellular glutamate binds with cell membrane proteins (e.g. NR2A), which exacerbates the Ca2+ ion influx and prolongs neuron dysfunction. Genetic variation may be a factor in regulating glutamate binding and therefore cell recovery time. The NR2A subunit of NMDA contains a variable (GT)n nucleotide tandem repeat (VNTR) within GRIN2A promoter region. This VNTR has been shown to regulate transcription levels in a length dependent manner, where longer repeat decreases transcription of the NR2A subunit. The purpose of this study was to determine the association of the GRIN2A VNTR and recovery (days) as well as concussion severity scores within concussed athletes. The independent variable was VNTR (long allele vs. short allele). The primary dependent variable, recovery time, was defined as injury date to return to play (RTP) clearance date as determined by the physician. Participant RTP time was categorized as normal ( 20 days). Secondary dependent variables were assessed at the initial evaluation and included vestibular ocular score, Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) score, and Immediate Post Concussion and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) module scores. All 51 participants were athletes, comprised of 38 males and 13 females with a mean age of 18.69 6.65. Participants were evaluated at a university concussion center. The standardized concussion evaluation consisted of cranial nerve, vestibular ocular tests, balance (Balance Error Scoring System), signs and symptoms (s/s), and neurocognitive (ImPACT) testing. Each participant was genotyped via saliva sample for the GRIN2A (GT)n repeat polymorphism (rs3219790). Data analysis consisted of descriptive and inferential statistics. Chi-squares were used to assess the association between VNTR (long allele versus short allele) and concussion recovery (prolonged versus normal). Regression analyses were used to estimate extent to which non-genetic factors and genotype contributed to concussion recovery group assignment. One-way ANOVAs were used to identify any significant differences in vestibular ocular, BESS, and ImPACT module scores between long and short alleles. Primary potential non-genetic contributing factors were age, race, sex, concussion history, dizziness at time of injury, history of migraines, and history of ADHD. The alpha level was set at p ≤ .05. There were no differences between demographic or health history within the VNTR or recovery groups. There was a significant association (x2 = 4.01, p = 0.045) between the VNTR group (dominant model: LL versus SS + LS) and recovery, where the chance of prolonged recovery was 4.3 times greater for carriers of the homozygous long allele. There were no differences in concussion severity scores between VNTR group and concussion severity scores. This was the first study to investigate the association of the (GT)n VNTR within GRIN2A. We established a DNA collection, estimation, and genotyping protocol of the (GT)n VNTR for 96 samples and demonstrated accuracy of this genotyping method. Clinically, athletes carrying the long allele genotype may be predisposed to prolonged recovery following a concussive injury.

Full textSecondary tissue damage that occurs after spinal cord injury (SCI) contributes significantly to permanent functional disabilities. Although regeneration of damaged axons and replacement of lost neurons are important goals to repair the injured spinal cord, the secondary damage to axons, neurons, myelin and glial cells that follows the initial trauma is likely to be more easily amenable to treatment. Therefore, preventing or minimizing such secondary damage after SCI is expected to substantially reduce functional deficits. The inflammatory response that occurs after SCI strongly contributes to secondary injury. A number of mechanisms underlie the recruitment of leukocytes from the peripheral circulation, and the activation of these cells and endogenous microglia and astrocytes within the injured spinal cord. However, the molecules that trigger these responses are not completely known. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a potent, biologically active lipid mediator that regulates many physiological functions such as of cellular Ca2+ homeostasis, cytoskeleton remodeling, proliferation and survival, adhesion and migration and inflammation. LPA exerts all these functions by signaling via 6 G-protein coupled receptors known as LPARs (LPA1-6). Recent studies highlight the involvement of LPA in the development of many human diseases, such as atherosclerosis, cancer and pulmonary fibrosis. However, few studies have assessed so far whether LPA contributes to nervous system pathologies. Several in vitro observations reveal that LPA activates astrocytes and microglial cells, causes neuronal cell death, and promotes axonal retraction. In vivo studies also show that LPA is involved in the etiology of fetal hydrocephalus, as well as the development of neuropathic pain after sciatic nerve injury and cerebral ischemia. However, whether LPA is involved in the pathophysiology of SCI is still unknown. We currently have novel unpublished data demonstrating that LPA levels rapidly increased in the contused spinal cord. We have also clear evidences indicating that administration of LPA into the uninjured spinal cords triggers glial cell activation and demyelination, and leads to motor impairments. Altogether, our preliminary results strongly suggest that the increased levels of LPA that occurs after SCI may play an important role in triggering secondary damage and functional impairments. The present thesis aimed at assessing which of endothelial differentiation gene family LPA receptors (LPA1-3) exert such harmful effects in SCI. We found that LPA1 and LPA2 contribute to tissue damage and functional impairments after SCI, whereas LPA3 has a neutral effect.. Moreover, we reveal the mechanisms underlying neuronal cell death and demyelination triggered by LPA1 and LPA2. Since major pharmaceutical companies are interested in the development of LPA receptor agonists and antagonists for the treatment of several human diseases, such treatments have a high likelihood of progressing rapidly to the clinic.
