Figure Lengend Snippet: The P2Y 13 receptor is active in SEZ-derived NSCs in culture. NSCs in culture and loaded with the calcium dye Fura-2 were stimulated with 2MeSADP and after a washout period, they were re-exposed to 2MeSADP in the presence of either the P2Y1 receptor antagonist MRS2179 A or the P2Y 13 receptor antagonist MRS2179 B . All compounds were tested at a concentration of 10 μM and representative traces of the F340/F380 fluorescence ratios recorded from single cells are shown. C . Immunocytochemistry identifying GFAP (green) and SOX2 (red) double positive NSCs that respond to the selective agonist of the P2Y 13 receptor, 2MeSADP (yellow arrowheads). Conversely, the intracellular calcium levels of GFAP positive parenchymal astrocytes (white arrow) does not change. D . Effects of 2MeSADP on voltage-gated currents in SEZ-derived NSCs in culture. Outward currents evoked by a depolarising pulse (+10 mV, 100 ms from a Vh of −80 mV) were increased in the presence of 2MeSADP (10 µM, 2 min). Subsequent exposure to MRS221 (10 µM, 2 min) partially reversed the potentiating effect of 2MeSADP (upper panel). At variance, exposure to MRS2179 (10 µM, 2 min) of 2MeSADP with MRS2179 (10 µM, 2 min) did not have any effect on outward current increase elicited by 2MeSADP (10 µM, 2 min) (lower panel). E . Scatter plot of outward current charges from the experiments shown in ( D ), in the presence or absence of 2MeSADP (10 µM, 2 min: left panel), and following co-incubation (right panels) with MRS2211 (upper right) or MRS2179 (lower right).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of the P2Y 13 receptor on NSC self-renewal. A . Quantification of the symmetric lineage trees (generating only neuroblasts) and the asymmetric lineage trees (generating neuroblasts and new NSCs through self-renewal events) in control conditions, or on exposure to 2MeSADP or 2MeSADP + MRS2211 (n=4). B. Proportion of GFAP + /SOX2 + NSCs relative to the total number of cells in the culture according to the following labels: “Initial” indicates the proportion of GFAP + /SOX2 + in the culture and the “Quiescent” cells are the fraction of the initial cells that remain quiescent throughout the live imaging experiments. The “Clones” reflect the fraction of the initial cells that undergo lineage progression (Control and 2MeSADP n=5 and 2MeSADP+MRS2211 n = 4). C. The models represent the stereotypic behavior of NSCs under control conditions and when exposed to 2MeSADP or 2MeSADP+MRS211. Note how 2MeSADP increases the speed in the cell cycle while impeding self-renewal divisions. By contrast, MRS2211 instructs NSCs to remain quiescent. D. Cell Cycle length within the complex trees tracked (≥4 rounds of division). E . Cell Cycle length for the first division within the complex trees tracked (≥4 rounds of division, n= 5). Note that this first division is normally associated with slow-dividing astroglia, yet 2MeSADP significantly increase the speed of the cell cycle (n=5).

At variance, exposure to MRS2179 (10 µM, 2 min) of 2MeSADP with MRS2179 (10 µM, 2 min) did not have any effect on outward current increase elicited by 2MeSADP (10 µM, 2 min) (lower panel). E . Scatter plot of outward current charges from the experiments shown in ( D ), in the presence or absence of 2MeSADP (10 µM, 2 min: left panel), and following co-incubation (right panels) with MRS2211 (upper right) or MRS2179 (lower right). The values are the means ± SEM of the number of cells indicated between parentheses; the statistical significance was assessed using the student’s T-test for paired samples: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.

C. Heat-map of the top 1,000 most variably expressed genes across the samples profiled. The expression of each gene was scaled as a z-score, and the genes and sample labels were sorted by hierarchical clustering. D. Heat-map of the genes associated with the activation/quiescence equilibrium and self-renewal. The expression of each gene was scaled as a z-score, and the genes and sample labels were sorted by hierarchical clustering. E. Volcano plot showing the differential expression of genes between P2Y 13 overexpressing and control samples (n=3, PY 13 and 3 controls). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs, adjusted p-value <0.05) are in red and green when upregulated or downregulated in the P2Y 13 overexpressing samples, respectively. The bar plot represents the number of DEGs. F. Overrepresentation of gene ontology (GO) terms for biological processes from the DEGs (adjusted p-value <0.05) between the P2Y 13 overexpressing and control samples. A customized selection (18) of significant GO terms with the highest gene ratio (top 100) is displayed for clearer representation. The terms are ordered by significance, representing their adjusted p-value (x-axis), and the expressed genes were used as the background in this analysis. G.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of the P2Y 13 receptor on NSC self-renewal. A . Quantification of the symmetric lineage trees (generating only neuroblasts) and the asymmetric lineage trees (generating neuroblasts and new NSCs through self-renewal events) in control conditions, or on exposure to 2MeSADP or 2MeSADP + MRS2211 (n=4). B. Proportion of GFAP + /SOX2 + NSCs relative to the total number of cells in the culture according to the following labels: “Initial” indicates the proportion of GFAP + /SOX2 + in the culture and the “Quiescent” cells are the fraction of the initial cells that remain quiescent throughout the live imaging experiments. The “Clones” reflect the fraction of the initial cells that undergo lineage progression (Control and 2MeSADP n=5 and 2MeSADP+MRS2211 n = 4). C. The models represent the stereotypic behavior of NSCs under control conditions and when exposed to 2MeSADP or 2MeSADP+MRS211. Note how 2MeSADP increases the speed in the cell cycle while impeding self-renewal divisions. By contrast, MRS2211 instructs NSCs to remain quiescent. D. Cell Cycle length within the complex trees tracked (≥4 rounds of division). E . Cell Cycle length for the first division within the complex trees tracked (≥4 rounds of division, n= 5). Note that this first division is normally associated with slow-dividing astroglia, yet 2MeSADP significantly increase the speed of the cell cycle (n=5). All the graphs show the mean ±SEM: *p<0.05, **p<0.01 (T-test for D, E and ANOVA with a Tukeys post-test for B ).

doi: 10.1101/2024.11.04.621858

Figure Lengend Snippet: Tissue taken from pups of PRYC x PRYP parents was used in PCR to determine offspring homozygous for P2Y 1 - LoxP flanked allele and hemizygous for PF4- cre (test mice) and offspring homozygous for P2Y 1 - LoxP flanked allele and a non carrier for PF4- cre (control ‘wild type’ mice). Representative PCR for LoxP and cre is shown of a litter ( A ). Platelets were taken via cardiac puncture and stained for with anti-CD41-PE conjugated antibody (platelet marker) and anti-P2Y 1 -FITC conjugated antibody to elucidate P2Y 1 expression between ‘test’ (Plt-P2Y 1 -/- ) and control (WT) platelets ( B ). In other experiments, platelets were harvested from blood, and leukocytes harvested from bone marrow of donor mice and their ability to migrate to fMLP (30nM) was measured using a transwell system ( C ) platelets, co-incubated with 100nM ADP, ( D ) neutrophils. Data expressed as means +/-SEM. n=3 ( B ) or 5-6 ( C , D ) per group. Significant difference represented: * P <0.05, ** P <0.01.

Article Snippet: For each sample, 50 μL of PRP was stained with 1 μL of PE-anti-CD41 antibody (BD Pharmingen, 558040, 0.2 mg/mL) and 1 μL of FITC-anti-P2Y 1 antibody (Alomone Labs, APR-021-F, 0.2 mg/mL) antibodies for 30 min at 4°C in the dark.
