| 1 | Identification of an endogenous glutamatergic transmitter system controlling excitability and conductivity of atrial cardiomyocytes显示文摘As an excitatory transmitter system,the glutamatergic transmitter system controls excitability and conductivity of neurons.Since both cardiomyocytes and neurons are excitable cells,we hypothesized that cardiomyocytes may also be regulated by a similar system. | Duanyang Xie Ke Xiong Xuling Su Guanghua Wang Qiang Ji Qicheng Zou Lingling Wang Yi Liu Dandan Liang Jinfeng Xue Luxin Wang Xueting Gao Xingdong Gu Hongyu Liu r Xiaoyu He Li Li Jian Yang Youming Lu Luying Peng Yi-Han Chen | 2021 | Cell Research2021,31,9: | 5 |
| 2 | Genetically-encoded voltage indicators显示文摘A holy grail in neuroscience is to understand how brain functions arise from neural network-level electrical activities. Voltage imaging allows for the direct visualization of electrical signaling at high spatial and temporal resolutions across a large neuronal population. Central to this technique is a palette of genetically-encoded fluorescent probes with fast and sensitive voltage responses. In this review, we chronicle the development and applications of genetically-encoded voltage indicators(GEVIs) over the past two decades, with a primary focus on the structural design that harness the power of fluctuating transmembrane electric fields. We hope this article will inform chemical biologists and protein engineers of the GEVI history and inspire novel design ideas. | Luxin Peng Yongxian Xu Peng Zou | 2017 | Chinese Chemical Letters2017,28,10: | 1 |
| 3 | Dendritic Morphology Affects the Velocity and Amplitude of Back-propagating Action Potentials显示文摘The back-propagating action potential(bpAP)is crucial for neuronal signal integration and synaptic plasticity in dendritic trees.Its properties(velocity and amplitude)can be affected by dendritic morphology.Due to limited spatial resolution,it has been difficult to explore the specific propagation process of bpAPs along dendrites and examine the influence of dendritic morphology,such as the dendrite diameter and branching pattern,using patch-clamp recording.By taking advantage of Optopatch,an all-optical electrophysiological method,we made detailed recordings of the real-time propagation of bpAPs in dendritic trees.We found that the velocity of bpAPs was not uniform in a single dendrite,and the bpAP velocity differed among distinct dendrites of the same neuron.The velocity of a bpAP was positively correlated with the diameter of the dendrite on which it propagated.In addition,when bpAPs passed through a dendritic branch point,their velocity decreased significantly.Similar to velocity,the amplitude of bpAPs was also positively correlated with dendritic diameter,and the attenuation patterns of bpAPs differed among different dendrites.Simulation results from neuron models with different dendritic morphology corresponded well with the experimental results.These findings indicate that the dendritic diameter and branching pattern significantly influence the properties of bpAPs.The diversity among the bpAPs recorded in different neurons was mainly due to differences in dendritic morphology.These results may inspire the construction of neuronal models to predict the propagation of bpAPs in dendrites with enormous variation in morphology,to further illuminate the role of bpAPs in neuronal communication. | Wu Tian Luxin Peng Mengdi Zhao Louis Tao Peng Zou Yan Zhang | 2022 | Neuroscience Bulletin2022,38,11: | 0 |
| 4 | Mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of powder metallurgical Mg-Zn-Ca/Fe bulk metal glass composites for biomedical application显示文摘Magnesium(Mg)alloys can be regarded as the most promising biodegradable implant materials for orthopedic and stent applications due to their good biocompatibility and low Young’s modulus which is near to that of natural bone.However,its applicability is hindered because it exhibits a high corrosion rate in the physiological environments.In this work,we fabricated Mg_(66)Zn_(30)Ca_(4)/Fe bulk metallic glass composites via spark plasma sintering(SPS).We studied the influence of different contents of Fe on the properties of the composites.The results indicated that Fe was uniformly distributed on the surface of Mg_(66)Zn_(30)Ca_(4) metallic glass(MG)as a second phase,which led to an improvement in the corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.The standard potential of Mg_(66)Zn_(30)Ca_(4)/Fe bulk metallic glass(BMG)composites increased as compared to Mg_(66)Zn_(30)Ca_(4),while their mechanical strength improved from 355 MPa to 616 MPa.Furthermore,cytotoxicity was investigated via the CCK-8 assay and calcein-AM staining,which revealed that the extraction mediums diluted 6 times(EM×6)of the Mg_(66)Zn_(30)Ca_(4) and Mg_(66)Zn_(30)Ca_(4)/Fe did not cause cell toxicity on day 3 and 5,while the EM×6 of the Mg_(66)Zn_(30)Ca_(4) showed cytotoxicity on day 1,3 and 5.Thus,Mg_(66)Zn_(30)Ca_(4)/Fe BMG composites exhibit significant potential for fabricating implants with good mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. | Kun Li Luxin Liang Peng Du Zeyun Cai Tao Xiang Hiroyasu Kanetaka Hong Wu Guoqiang Xie | 2022 | Journal of Materials Science & Technology2022,,8: | 0 |
| 5 | Differences in action potential propagation speed and axon initial segment plasticity between neurons from Sprague-Dawley rats and C57BL/6 mice显示文摘Action potentials(APs)in neurons are generated at the axon initial segment(AIS).AP dynamics,including initiation and propagation,are intimately associated with neuronal excitability and neurotransmitter release kinetics.Most learning and memory studies at the single-neuron level have relied on the use of animal models,most notably rodents.Here,we studied AP initiation and propagation in cultured hippocampal neurons from Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats and C57BL/6(C57)mice with genetically encoded voltage indicator(GEVI)-based voltage imaging.Our data showed that APs traveled bidirectionally in neurons from both species;forward-propagating APs(fpAPs)had a different speed than backpropagating APs(bpAPs).Additionally,we observed distinct AP propagation characteristics in AISs emerging from the somatic envelope compared to those originating from dendrites.Compared with rat neurons,mouse neurons exhibited higher bpAP speed and lower fpAP speed,more distally located ankyrin G(AnkG)in AISs,and longer Nav1.2 lengths in AISs.Moreover,during AIS plasticity,AnkG and Nav1.2 showed distal shifts in location and shorter lengths of labeled AISs in rat neurons;in mouse neurons,however,they showed a longer AnkG-labeled length and more distal Nav1.2 location.Our findings suggest that hippocampal neurons in SD rats and C57 mice may have different AP propagation speeds,different AnkG and Nav1.2 patterns in the AIS,and different AIS plasticity properties,indicating that comparisons between these species must be carefully considered. | Zhi-Ya Chen Luxin Peng Mengdi Zhao Yu Li Mochizuki Takahiko Louis Tao Peng Zou Yan Zhang | 2022 | Zoological Research2022,43,4: | 0 |
