Most of the previously published reports on the localization of OXTRs in rodent brains were conducted by in vitro receptor autoradiography with a selective radiolabeled OXTR ligand [39, 40, 42, 43, 46–55] or autoradiography of in situ hybridization of OXTR mRNA [44, 56]. The mean total number of OXTR-Venus cells in the AVPV from intact female and OVX. L’amicizia non è innata e non nasce neanche troppo presto: per diventare amici bisogna empatizzare, riuscire a mettersi nei panni dell’altro, solidarizzare e, soprattutto, resistere al conflitto. The brain slices were prepared as described above in Slice preparation / Electrophysiology. For genotyping, genomic DNA was isolated from tail snips by incubating the tissues with REDExtract-N-Amp Tissue PCR Kit (Sigma, St. Louis, MO). The effects of OVX and E2 replacement therapy on the number of OXTR-Venus neurons were also analyzed by the Student's t test. Competing interests: The authors have declared that no competing interest exist. For more information about PLOS Subject Areas, click If current trends persist, 48 million children under the age of 5 will die between 2018 and 2030 – half of them newborns. The overall distribution of OXTR-Venus cells was similar between sexes in all areas except within an area immediately along the third ventricle (3V) in the AVPV where OXTR-Venus cells were observed only in females, but not in males. A sexually dimorphic distribution of OXTR-Venus cells occurred in the AVPV where only females had a considerable number of OXTR-Venus cells. Immunoreactivity to Venus was not observed in the brain sections from wild type mice. The males and females were housed in separate cages (maximum 4 mice/cage) in the same room on a 12:12 h light/dark cycle with access to food and water available ad libitum. The number of OXTR-Venus cells was not significantly different on any sections between the sexes. Differences were considered to be statistically significant at p <0.05. A moderate population of OXTR-Venus cells was found in the medial preoptic area (MPOA) surrounding the OVLT. of Obesity and Internal Inflammation, Fukushima Medical University, Fukushima, Japan, Affiliation Most of these deaths can be avoided. The application of oxytocin resulted in significant depolarization in OXTR-Venus (+/-) cells. Thus, it is possible that OXTR neurons interact with TH+ neurons within the AVPV to generate a positive feedback loop between TH+ neurons and oxytocin neurons to drive maternal behavior during pregnancy and lactation when the circulating level of estrogen is naturally high [74]. Whole-cell membrane potential recordings were obtained with an Axopatch 700B amplifier (Molecular Devices, Foster City, CA). What's more, an estimated 810 women die every day from causes related to pregnancy or childbirth.

Female mice were deeply anaesthetized using Ketamine-Xylazine (9:1, 100 mg/kg i.p.) Oxytocin acts on neurons in the MPOA to facilitate maternal behavior in rodents [28]. The AVPV is surrounded by the MPOA. Ledet for technical assistance, and Dr. R.A. Malbrue for demonstrating how to perform ovariectomy in mice. The oxytocin-mediated depolarization caused repetitive firing. Messaggio da kuz » 4 novembre 2013, 11:03 Mia figlia ha 5 anni e mezzo ed è all'ultimo anno di materna. Ma l’amicizia, quella duratura, ha i suoi tempi: non è fatta solo di affetto e di condivisione di interessi, ma anche di consapevolezza che quel rapporto è voluto come persistente nel tempo. D. The mean total number of OXTR-Venus cells in the AVPV of OVX+E2 was significantly higher than that of OVX+Vehicle. At the level of the SON (Fig 2C), intense OXTR-Venus immunoreactivity was found in the amygdala along with areas in the insular and piriform cortex already described above. In OXTR-Venus (+/+) cells, the mean membrane potentials before, during, and after the application of oxytocin (100 nM) were -67.57 ± 2.39 mV, -68.73 ± 2.35 mV, and -68.02 ± 2.24 mV, respectively. Ovviamente gli stadi si sovrappongono, proprio perchè ognuno evolve con i suoi tempi da una fase all’altra. This finding suggests the antibody specifically recognized Venus in the brain sections. Therefore, Venus likely achieves natural expression patterns and levels, while ectopic expression is less likely to occur. Average cell number per section is presented as the means ± SE. Moreover, ovariectomy resulted in the absence of OXTR-Venus expression in the AVPV, whereas estrogen replacement therapy restored OXTR-Venus expression. Expression of OXTR mRNA was detected in 8 of 10 Venus cells harvested from OXTR-Venus heterozygous (+/-) females, but not detected from any of 4 OXTR-Venus cells obtained from homozygous (+/+) females. Tissues containing the AVPV were carefully dissected out using a razor blade, were incubated in oxygenated ACSF (35°C) containing Protease Type XIV (1.2 mg/ml: Sigma Chemicals, St Louis, MO, USA) for 20–30 min, and washed in a sodium isethionate solution consisting of (in mM): 140 sodium isethionate, 2 KCl, 4 MgCl2, 23 glucose, 15 HEPES, pH 7.3 (adjusted with 1M NaOH). Yes https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0219784.g004. Amicizie troppo esclusive. Is the Subject Area "Neurons" applicable to this article? The concentration of E2 was estimated to release 10 μg of E2 per day at 0.11 μl/hr. Kim Hyang Jong, 18 months old, in Jongju City Hospital in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, touches her mother's cheek. Dalle tante classificazioni delle “età dell’amicizia” che si trovano in letteratura, ho ricavato questa schematizzazione, secondo la quale l’amicizia si evolve secondo cinque stadi (ovviamente tutti approssimativi e frutto di generalizzazioni): These results demonstrate that the expression of OXTR in the AVPV is primarily female specific and estrogen dependent. – dai 3 ai 7 anni, l’amicizia è solo vicinanza fisica, compagnia e condivisione occasionale dei giochi; We can end preventable newborn deaths in our lifetime, Severe pneumonia leaves 4.2 million children desperate for oxygen each year, Answers to common questions about this tragic loss of life, One stillbirth occurs every 16 seconds, according to first ever joint UN estimates. B. ERα immunoreactive cells were found in the AVPV and its surrounding area of the MPOA in females and males (Fig 5A). In the thalamus, a group of OXTR-Venus cells was present in the paraventricular thalamic nucleus (PVA). Le Bambino, Da Nang Picture: Jean-Paul - Check out Tripadvisor members' 50,726 candid photos and videos. A bath application of oxytocin did not, however, cause any measurable change in the membrane potential of all 6 cells examined from 5 female homozygous OXTR-Venus mice, which do not express OXTR (Fig 4Bc & 4C). Further studies are necessary to elucidate the role of the OXTR neurons in behavior and physiology. Siamo Serena e Silvia. The estrogen dependent expression of OXTR may be mediated by ERα as ERα immunoreactivity was observed in all OXTR-Venus cells in the AVPV; however, this notion must be confirmed by specific manipulation of ERα activity in these OXTR neurons. To test whether the expression of OXTR in the neurons of the AVPV depends on estrogen, we first ovariectomized (OVX) virgin female mice to remove the source of estrogen and examined whether the expression of OXTR-Venus was affected. E ancor di più ora, con l’inizio della scuola elementare. The release of oxytocin also occurs within the brain and modulates many aspects of behaviors including but not limited to maternal care [3–9], female sexual behavior [10–12], male sexual behavior [10, 13, 14], pair/social bonding [15] [16, 17], aggression [18–20], anxiety [21], and fear [22, 23]. Studi più recenti abbassano l’età in cui si consolida il rapporto d’amicizia, pur ribadendo che la durata nel tempo della relazione ed il suo protrarsi fino all’età adulta, è proprio della pre-adolescenza/adolescenza. Moreover, TH+ neurons in the AVPV relay a monosynaptic input to oxytocin neurons in the PVN [73], suggesting that stimulation of oxytocin neurons by TH+ neurons from the AVPV is involved in induction of maternal behavior in females. MAGLIA GARA HOME BAMBINO 2019/20. L’amicizia presuppone una capacità di fare progetti. Digital images were minimally altered in ImageJ software (Bethesda, NIH) with changes in dynamic range. The onset of maternal behavior is promoted by increased estrogen that facilitates the expression of OXTR in the MPOA [28]. Immunocytochemistry and single-cell RT-PCR revealed the presence of the estrogen receptor α in OXTR-Venus cells in the female AVPV. Oxytocin is involved in the regulation of social behaviors including parental behaviors in a variety of species. No, Is the Subject Area "Oxytocin" applicable to this article? No, Is the Subject Area "Estrogens" applicable to this article? At the level of the posterior hypothalamus (Fig 2D), a large cluster of OXTR-Venus cells was found in the ventro-lateral division of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH-VL) and in the arcuate nucleus (Arc). A sparse population of OXTR-Venus cells were also found in the thalamus (PVA). MAGLIA GARA AWAY BAMBINO 2020/21. In coronal sections at the level of the organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis (OVLT; Fig 2A), OXTR-Venus cells were sparsely distributed in the dorsal-lateral part of the cortex including the cingulate (Cg1 & 2), motor (M1 & M2), and somatosensory (S1 & S2) cortex. 55,96. Il congedo per le vittime di violenza di genere. C. Fluorescence microscopic images of OXTR-Venus cells in the AVPV from an OVX+E2 and an OVX+Vehicle. Due conoscenti, che sono diventate amiche dopo aver scoperto di essere entrambe mamme di figli altamente energetici, che hanno travolto le nostre vite come un ciclone, e che pochi esiterebbero a definire iperattivi. B. Single-cell RT-PCR analysis of ERα expression in OXTR-Venus cells. Department of Biological Sciences, Louisiana State University, Louisiana, United States of America, Current address: Lab. At the level of OVLT, OXTR-Venus cells were found in the layers of the cortex (Cg1, Cg2, M1, M2, S1, and S2). Each mouse received a subcutaneous injection of buprenorphine hydrochloride (Buprenex, 0.1 mg/kg) after surgery to control pain. These findings suggest that OXTR neurons in the MPOA are important neurons comprising a sexually dimorphic neural circuit that is associated with differences in parental care [33–37]. The application of oxytocin did not cause significant change in membrane potentials of OXTR-Venus (+/+) cells (F(2,4) = 1.33, p = 0.19). In the hippocampus, OXTR-Venus cells were located in the CA3 field. Poi nasce l’ammirazione del carattere e della personalità dell’amico. The sequences of primer sets used to detect OXTR was Forward 5'-GTGCAGATGTGGAGCGTCT-3' & Reverse 5'-AGAGATGGCCCGTGAAGAG-3' and ERα (ESR1) was Forward 5'-CTGCCAAGGAGACTCGCTAC-3' & Reverse 5'-GCAACTCTTCCTCCGGTTCT-3'. Despite being entirely preventable and treatable, common infectious diseases still kill children in large numbers. The Student's t test was used to compare the total number of OXTR-Venus neurons in the AVPV between sexes. Iscriviti alla nostra newsletter. Interestingly, the same treatments, optogenetic stimulation or over expression of tyrosine hydroxylase in TH+ neurons, had no effect on parental care in males [73]. Next, we tested whether estradiol (E2) replacement therapy would restore the population of OXTR-Venus cells. Moreover, ERα mRNA was detected in all the cells in which OXTR mRNA was detected. Moreover, the expression of OXTR in the AVPV is clearly estrogen dependent, because OXTR-Venus was not observed in the AVPV of ovariectomized females, whereas OXTR-Venus expression was restored in OVX that received estrogen therapy. Organizzare gli armadi. Almost half of these children died in the first month of life. An ANOVA with repeated measures was used to assess the changes in membrane potential in response to oxytocin. The total number of OXTR-Venus cells in the AVPV in females (615 ± 43) was significantly greater than that in males (14 ± 2), whereas the total number of OXTR-Venus cells in the rest of the MPOA did not differ significantly between the sexes. Four breeder pairs of OXTR-Venus heterozygous (+/-) male and female gave 22 litters of pups that were used for this study. ERα mRNA was detected from all cells except cell #4. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0219784.g005. Storia di un gatto e del topo che diventò suo amico, Le relazioni “pericolose” di un amplificato, I migliori regali per bambini di 8 anni - regali-bambini.it, 2020, o l’anno in cui mia figlia ha abbandonato il liceo, L'importanza di un gruppo solidale di genitori. Especially dense populations of OXTR-Venus cells were observed in the piriform cortex (Pir, DEn and IEn), insular cortex (AIP), lateral and medial septum (LS and MS), and anterior part of medial division of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (STMA). Data curation, All numerical data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. C. In OXTR-Venus (+/-) cells, the mean membrane potentials before, during, and after the application of oxytocin (100 nM) were -60.36 ± 5.97 mV, -52.76 ± 3.47 mV, and -60 ± 3.74 mV, respectively. C. At the level of the supraoptic nucleus (SON), a prominent cluster of OXTR-Venus cells was additionally found in several areas in the amygdala (ACo, CxA, BMA, CeC, CeL, CeM, MeAD) and hypothalamus (AH, SCN, PVN). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0219784.g003. L’amicizia tra bambini mi affascina. – dai 9 ai 15 anni il rapporto è caratterizzato da reciprocità e coordinamento della relazione, ma se non si è d’accordo su qualcosa non si è più amici, la relazione è ancora piuttosto fragile; – dai 12 anni all’età adulta la concezione dell’amicizia diventa una relazione inserita in un contesto più generale di relazioni sociali, si ricerca e si offre sostegno psicologico ma il rapporto non intacca l’autonomia personale dei partner. The same sampling parameters were used to measure the membrane potential of OXTR-Venus cells from homozygous mice that did not show apparent changes in response to the application of oxytocin. The number of OXTR-Venus neurons in the AVPV was counted from the level of the OVLT (section -5) to the level of the suprachasmatic nucleus (SCN, section 25) where most of OXTR-Venus neurons were found. Double fluorescence confocal microscopy revealed that all OXTR-Venus neurons were immunoreactive with ERα in females (Fig 5A). In the septum, lateral (LS) and medial (MS) regions along with the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) medial division anterior part (STMA) had dense population of OXTR-Venus cells. These time frames were captured at 30 sec before, 2 min after, and 3 min after the bath application of oxytocin. Funding: The authors received no specific funding for this work. To assess whether the sexually dimorphic distribution of OXTR-Venus cells extends into the area surrounding the AVPV, the number of OXTR-Venus cells in the MPOA was also counted. Oxytocin triggers social behaviors by binding to oxytocin receptors (OXTRs) in various parts of the brain. Still, diseases like pneumonia, malaria and diarrhoea – along with pregnancy- and birth-related complications – claim the lives of millions of children and mothers every year. Oxytocin influences behaviors by binding to oxytocin receptors (OXTRs) that are widely distributed in various parts of the brain [24, 25]. The present study demonstrated the sexually dimorphic distribution of OXTR neurons in the AVPV in the mouse brain. Of 58 OXTR-Venus cells (48 cells from heterozygous and 10 cells from homozygous females) that were individually harvested from the AVPV, mRNA for ERα was detected in 57 cells. and a CCD camera (ORCA-R2, Hamamatsu Photonics, Hamamatsu). PLoS ONE 14(7): We also work towards the final elimination of maternal and newborn tetanus across the globe. A. Fluorescent photomicrographs showing OXTR-Venus immunoreactivity in (a) the preoptic-hypothalamic regions at the level of the AC, (b) 5 sections (200 μm) posterior to the AC, and (c) 15 sections (600 μm) posterior to the AC from a female (top panels) and a male (bottom panels) OXTR-Venus mouse. This UNICEF report shows why and how ending preventable child deaths from pneumonia and diarrhoea is within our grasp. In the preoptic areas, the magnocellular preoptic nucleus (MCPO) and Septohypothalamic nucleus (Shy) had a cluster of OXTR-Venus cells, whereas a sparse population of OXTR-Venus cells was observed in the MPOA. OXTR-Venus mice in which a part of the OXTR gene was replaced with Venus (a variant of the yellow fluorescent protein) cDNA [38] were originally provided by Dr. Nishimori of the Tohoku University in Japan. Mi incuriosice e mi commuove quel modo folgorante di scegliersi in un attimo, di lasciarsi in un momento o di rimanersi fedeli fino all’età adulta. Children, newborns and mothers have a greater chance of surviving today than they did just two decades ago. – sempre dai 9 ai 15 anni interviene un altro stadio, caratterizzato dalla fiducia, dall’intimità e dalla consapevolezza della continuità della relazione e dei vincoli affettivi tra i partner; This report is the first publication by the UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation, which exclusively looks at data around stillbirths. Therefore, the presence of estrogen-dependent and sexually dimorphic distribution of OXTR neurons in the AVPV implies that OXTR-neurons in the AVPV are involved in the induction of maternal behavior; however, behavioral studies using specific knock-out of OXTR in the AVPV is required to confirm such a hypothesis. here. After aspiration, the contents of the micropipette were ejected into an ice-cold 0.5 ml PCR tube and stored at -80°C. Patch electrodes were drawn with a Flaming/Brown micropipette puller (Model P-1000, Sutter Instrument Novato, CA) from borosilicate capillary glass tubing (1.1 mm ID, 1.5 mm OD, Sutter Instruments, Novato, CA) to have resistance of 4-8MΩ when filled with a pipette solution that contained (in mM): 140 K-Gluconate, 1 MgCl2, 10 HEPES, 10 CaCl2, 2 ATP(Mg++), and 0.4 GTP (Na+) and 11 EGTA. The medial preoptic area (MPOA) is an essential component of the neural circuit that regulates maternal behavior [26–32]. Confocal fluorescence microscopy images (1,024 x 1,024; 1 μm optical section thickness) were acquired with a confocal microscope (Leica TCS SP2 spectral confocal microscope, Mannheim, Germany). B.

The same set of cDNA derived from individually harvested OXTR-Venus cells used in Fig 2A was used. Adolescenza (1) 1. Oxytocin triggers social behaviors by binding to oxytocin receptors (OXTRs) in various parts of the brain. OXTRs are present in the preoptic area (POA) where hormone-sensitive sexually dimorphic nuclei exist. Oxytocin is involved in the regulation of social behaviors including parental behaviors in a variety of species. No, Is the Subject Area "Heterozygosity" applicable to this article? In some instances, the application of oxytocin induced depolarization that caused repetitive firing of action potentials (Fig 4Bb). Writing – review & editing. Harvested cells were subjected to one step RT-PCR using iTaq Universal SYBR green One-step Kit (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) according to manufacturer’s protocol with ABI ViiA-7 sequence detection system (ABI Applied Biosystem, Grand Island, NY). The brain slices were kept in ACSF (in mM: 125 NaCl, 2.5 KCl, 1 MgSO4, 1.25 NaH2PO4, 26 NaHCO3, 20 D-glucose, 2 CaCl2, 0.4 Ascorbic acid, pH of 7.3–7.4, with an osmolality of 290–300 mOsm/kg H2O). No immunoreactive-cells were observed in the brain section from a wild type mouse. This report from UNICEF and partners shows the full scope of child mortality rates across the world, as well as the progress made towards meeting Sustainable Development Goal targets. Roles A. For more information about PLOS Subject Areas, click The brains were then removed and coronal slices (250 μm) containing the hypothalamic periventricular nucleus were collected using a vibrating microtome (Leica VT1200; Leica, Mannheim, Germany). These findings suggest that expression of OXTR in the cells of the AVPV is supported by estrogen. The AVPV is a small cell group located immediately surrounding the area of the ventral half of the third ventricle at the anterior extreme. The mean number of OXTR-Venus neurons in the AVPV (i-a), in the medial preoptic area (MPOA) including the AVPV (ii-a), and the MPOA without the AVPV (iii-a) on each brain section from 8 female and 6 male OXTR-Venus mice are plotted from the 10th section anterior from the AC to the 25th section posterior from the AC. Numerous immunoreactive OXTR-Venus cells were observed in various regions in the section from an OXTR-Venus mouse.
