Abstract
In the field of Alzheimer's disease, there is an urgent need for novel analytical tools to identify disease-specific biomarkers and to evaluate therapeutics. Preclinical trials commonly employ amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide signatures as a read-out. In this paper, we report a simplified and detailed protocol for robust immunoprecipitation of Aβ in brain tissue prior to mass spectrometric detection exemplified by a study using transgenic mice. The established method employed murine monoclonal and rabbit polyclonal antibodies and was capable of yielding well-reproducible peaks of high intensity with low background signal intensities corresponding to various Aβ forms.

Abstract
Drugs of addiction lead to a wide range of epigenetic changes at the promoter regions of genes directly implicated in learning and memory processes. We have previously shown that the histone deactylase inhibitor, sodium butyrate (NaB), accelerates the extinction of nicotine-seeking and provides resistance to relapse. Here, we explore the potential molecular mechanisms underlying this effect. Rats received intravenous nicotine or saline self-administration, followed by 6 days of extinction training, with each extinction session followed immediately by treatment with NaB or vehicle. On the last day of extinction, rats were killed and the medial ventral prefrontal cortex retained for chromatin immunoprecipitation and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). A history of nicotine exposure significantly decreased H3K14 acetylation at the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) exon IV promoter, and this effect was abolished with NaB treatment. In contrast, nicotine self-administration alone, resulted in a significant decrease in histone methylation at the H3K27me3 and H3K9me2 marks in the promoter regions of BDNF exon IV and cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk-5). Quantitative PCR-identified changes in several genes associated with NaB treatment that were independent of nicotine exposure; however, an interaction of nicotine history and NaB treatment was detected only in the expression of BDNF IV and BDNF IX. Together these results suggest that nicotine self-administration leads to a number of epigenetic changes at both the BDNF and Cdk-5 promoters, and that these changes may contribute to the enhanced extinction of nicotine-seeking by NaB.

Abstract
In order to reveal the involvement of tubulin microtubules and actin microfilaments in gravisensing reactions in the distal elongation zone of root, Arabidopsis thaliana plants stably transformed with MAP4-GFP construct were grown under slow clinorotation. Experiments have shown that stabilization of cell growth in the distal elongation zone of Arabidopsis seedling root is provided by common structural organization of microtubules and microfilaments, and interrelations between microtubules and microfilaments is highly dependent upon the type of cell differential growth. Less pronounced effect of microfilament disruption on microtubule organization has been observed under clinorotation and it suggests the existence of complex mechanism of cooperation between microtubules and microfilaments which is probably, masked on earth.

Abstract
We have tried to investigate the mechanisms supporting the plagiotropic growth (growth in parallel to the Earth) of root hairs in simulated microgravity. Our strategy to understand the regulation of such type of growth depends upon the study of cytoskeleton topography and calcium ions distribution in root hairs both in control and simulated microgravity.
