Multiple cryoinjuries modulate the efficiency of zebrafish heart regeneration

Bise, Thomas ; Sallin, Pauline ; Pfefferli, Catherine ; Jaźwińska, Anna

In: Scientific Reports, 2020, vol. 10, no. 1, p. 11551

Zebrafish can regenerate their damaged hearts throughout their lifespan. It is, however, unknown, whether regeneration remains effective when challenged with successive cycles of cardiac damage in the same animals. Here, we assessed ventricular restoration after two, three and six cryoinjuries interspaced by recovery periods. Using transgenic cell-lineage tracing analysis, we demonstrated...

Arginase‐II promotes melanoma migration and adhesion through enhancing hydrogen peroxide production and STAT3 signaling

Yu, Yi ; Ladeiras, Diogo ; Xiong, Yuyan ; Boligan, Kayluz Frias ; Liang, Xiujie ; Gunten, Stephan ; Hunger, Robert E. ; Ming, Xiu‐Fen ; Yang, Zhihong

In: Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2020, p. jcp.29814

Elevated arginase type II (Arg‐II) associates with higher grade tumors. Its function and underlying molecular mechanisms in melanoma remain elusive. In the present study, we observed a significantly higher frequency of Arg‐II expression in melanoma of patients with metastasis than those without metastasis. Silencing Arg‐II in two human melanoma cell lines slowed down the cell growth,...

Ciliary neurotrophic factor stimulates cardioprotection and the proliferative activity in the adult zebrafish heart

Bise, Thomas ; de Preux Charles, Anne-Sophie ; Jaźwińska, Anna

In: npj Regenerative Medicine, 2019, vol. 4, no. 1, p. 2

Unlike mammals, adult zebrafish can regenerate their hearts after injury via proliferation of cardiomyocytes. The cell-cycle entry of zebrafish cardiac cells can also be stimulated through preconditioning by thoracotomy, a chest incision without myocardial damage. To identify effector genes of heart preconditioning, we performed transcriptome analysis of ventricles from thoracotomized...
