Figure Legend Snippet: P2X 7 immunoreactivity in mouse normal skin (A), papilloma (C), and skin cancer tissues (E) (Experiment-1); B, D, F are parallel cross sections, respectively, stained by H&E . G . Analysis of P2X 7 immunoreactivity compared among paired histologically normal and cancerous tissues. Bars are means (± SD) of levels in tissues of five mice. H . P2X 7 protein assays in mouse normal and cancer skin tissues. Lysates fractionated by gel electrophoresis were immunoblotted with the anti P2X 7 antibody and membranes were reprobed with the anti GAPDH antibody. Insert in H shows Western immunoblot of lysates of histologically normal and cancerous tissues obtained from the same animal. Similar results were obtained in tissues of two additional mice. Bars show means (± SD) of densitometry results of the P2X 7 -specific 75 KDa bands in tissues of three mice. I . P2X 7 mRNA levels (relative to GAPDH mRNA) (means ± SD) in histologically normal and cancerous tissues obtained from three animals. In G-I data in the normal tissues were normalized in each case to an arbitrary value of 10. * – p < 0.01. AU – arbitrary units.
Techniques Used: Staining, Nucleic Acid Electrophoresis, Western Blot
Figure Legend Snippet: Effects in mice in-vivo of local treatment with BzATP on skin apoptosis (Experiment-3) . Animals (n = 5) were treated for 16 weeks either with BzATP, applied locally twice a week on the shaved dorsal skin ( A, B ) or with the vehicle (Control, n = 5, C, D ). At the end of the experiment animals were euthanized and strips were obtained from each animal dorsal skin areas for H&E ( B, D ) and P2X 7 /TUNEL co-staining ( E-L ). Arrows in J show increased TUNEL staining co-localizing with P2X 7 immunoreactivity in epidermal cells of the basal/parabasal layers (horizontal arrow) and of epidermal hair shaft cells (vertical arrow). Assays were repeated 3–5 times with similar trends.
Techniques Used: In Vivo, TUNEL Assay, Staining
Figure Legend Snippet: Effects of treatments with BzATP on P2X 7 expression and apoptosis in DMBA/TPA – induced skin papillomas (A-D) and cancers (E-H) (Experiment-1) . Assays were repeated 4 times with similar trends. C, D, G, H are parallel cross sections to A, B, E, F , respectively.
Techniques Used: Expressing
Figure Legend Snippet: Effects of BzATP on apoptosis in cultured mouse keratinocytes . In all experiments levels of apoptosis were normalized to an arbitrary value of 2 in control cells. AU – arbitrary units. A . BzATP dose-response effect in cultured mouse normal (wild-type, C57Bl) keratinocytes (means ± SD, n = 3). Cells were treated with one of the indicated concentrations of BzATP for 8 hours. B . Cultured mouse normal keratinocytes (wild-type, C57Bl) were pre-treated with 100 μM anti-sense P2X 7 oligonucleotides (ASO) or random-control P2X 7 oligonucleotides (RCO) for 14 hours followed by 8 hours treatment with 100 μM BzATP. Control – cells treated with the vehicle of the ASO. Values are means (± SD) of 3 experiments for each condition. Insert in B is Western immunoblot with anti-P2X 7 antibody of lysates of cells treated with ASO or RCO (n = 2). C . BzATP time-response effect in cultured mouse normal keratinocytes (wild-type, C57Bl; filled triangles), or in keratinocytes obtained from P2X 7 -deficient (P2X 7 -/-Pfizer [empty circles] or P2X 7 -/-GSK [filled circles]) mice (both in the C57Bl background). Values are means (± SD) of 3 experiments for each condition. Changes in apoptosis in A and B were determined in terms of solubilized DNA; changes in apoptosis in C were determined using cell-death detection ELISA.
Techniques Used: Cell Culture, Western Blot, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay
Figure Legend Snippet: Effects of anti-sense P2X 7 oligonucleotides on BzATP-induced increase in cytosolic calcium (ΔCa 2+ i , A) and on the influx of ethidium bromide (Eth-Br, B) . Cultured mouse wild-type normal keratinocytes were pre-treated with 100 μM anti-sense P2X 7 oligonucleotides (ASO) or random-control P2X 7 oligonucleotides (RCO) for 14 hours followed by 8 hours treatment with 100 μM BzATP. Control – cells treated with the vehicle of the ASO. Levels of ΔCa 2+ i ( A ) and of Eth-Br fluorescence ( B ) were determined as in Fig. 12. The experiments were repeated twice with similar trends.
Techniques Used: Cell Culture, Fluorescence
Figure Legend Snippet: Effects of pre-treatment with anti-sense P2X 7 oligonucleotides (ASO) or random-control P2X 7 oligonucleotides (RCO) (both at 100 μM for 14 hours), and of treatments with BzATP (100 μM, 8 hours) on [ 3 H]thymidine incorporation in mouse wild-type normal keratinocytes (values are means ± SD, n = 4) .
