Abstract
Our perception does not depend exclusively on the immediate sensory input. It is also influenced by our internal predictions derived from prior observations and the temporal regularities of the environment, which can result in choice history biases. However, it is unclear how this flexible use of prior information to predict the future influences perceptual decisions. Prior information may bias decisions independently of the current sensory input, or it may modulate the weight of current sensory input based on its consistency with the expectation. To address this question, we used a visual decision-making task and manipulated the transitional probabilities between successive noisy grating stimuli. Using a reverse correlation analysis, we evaluated the contribution of stimulus-independent decision bias and stimulus-dependent sensitivity modulations to choice history biases. We found that both effects coexist, whereby there was increased bias to respond in line with the predicted orientation alongside modulations in perceptual sensitivity to favor perceptual information consistent with the prediction, akin to selective attention. Furthermore, at the individual differences level, we investigated the relationship between autistic-like traits and the adaptation of choice history biases to the sequential statistics of the environment. Over two studies, we found no convincing evidence of reduced adaptation to sequential regularities in individuals with high autistic-like traits. In sum, we present robust evidence for both perceptual confirmation bias and decision bias supporting adaptation to sequential regularities in the environment.

Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), or autism, is characterized by social and non-social symptoms, including sensory hyper- and hyposensitivities. A suggestion has been put forward that some of these symptoms could be explained by differences in how sensory information is integrated with its context, including a lower tendency to leverage the past in the processing of new perceptual input. At least two history-dependent effects of opposite directions have been described in the visual perception literature: a repulsive adaptation effect, where perception of a stimulus is biased away from an adaptor stimulus, and an attractive serial choice bias, where perceptual choices are biased toward the previous choice. In this study, we investigated whether autistic participants differed in either bias from typically developing controls (TDs). Sixty-four adolescent participants (31 with ASD, 33 TDs) were asked to categorize oriented line stimuli in two tasks that were designed so that we would induce either adaptation or serial choice bias. Although our tasks successfully induced both biases, in comparing the two groups we found no differences in the magnitude of adaptation nor in the modulation of perceptual choices by the previous choice. In conclusion, we find no evidence of a decreased integration of the past in visual perception of low-level stimulus features in autistic adolescents.

Abstract
The endeavor to understand the human brain has seen more progress in the last few decades than in the previous two millennia. Still, our understanding of how the human brain relates to behavior in the real world and how this link is modulated by biological, social, and environmental factors is limited. To address this, we designed the Healthy Brain Study (HBS), an interdisciplinary, longitudinal, cohort study based on multidimensional, dynamic assessments in both the laboratory and the real world. Here, we describe the rationale and design of the currently ongoing HBS. The HBS is examining a population-based sample of 1,000 healthy participants (age 30–39) who are thoroughly studied across an entire year. Data are collected through cognitive, affective, behavioral, and physiological testing, neuroimaging, bio-sampling, questionnaires, ecological momentary assessment, and real-world assessments using wearable devices. These data will become an accessible resource for the scientific community enabling the next step in understanding the human brain and how it dynamically and individually operates in its bio-social context. An access procedure to the collected data and bio-samples is in place and published on https://www.healthybrainstudy.nl/en/data-and-methods/access.

Abstract
Perceptual decisions are biased toward previous decisions. Earlier research suggests that this choice repetition bias is increased after previous decisions of high confidence, as inferred from response time measures (Urai, Braun, & Donner, 2017), but also when previous decisions were based on weak sensory evidence (Akaishi, Umeda, Nagase, & Sakai, 2014). As weak sensory evidence is typically associated with low confidence, these previous findings appear conflicting. To resolve this conflict, we set out to investigate the effect of decision confidence on choice repetition more directly by measuring explicit confidence ratings in a motion coherence discrimination task. Moreover, we explored how choice and evidence history jointly affect subsequent perceptual choices. We found that participants were more likely to repeat previous choices of high subjective confidence, as well as previous fast choices, confirming the boost of choice repetition with decision confidence. Furthermore, we discovered that current choices were biased away from the previous evidence direction and that this effect grew with previous evidence strength. These findings point toward simultaneous biases of choice repetition, modulated by decision confidence, and evidence adaptation, modulated by the strength of evidence, which bias current perceptual decisions in opposite directions.

Abstract
Human perceptual decisions can be repelled away from (repulsive adaptation) or attracted towards recent visual experience (attractive serial dependence). It is currently unclear whether and how these repulsive and attractive biases interact during visual processing and what computational principles underlie these history dependencies. Here we disentangle repulsive and attractive biases by exploring their respective timescales. We find that perceptual decisions are concurrently attracted towards the short-term perceptual history and repelled from stimuli experienced up to minutes into the past. The temporal pattern of short-term attraction and long-term repulsion cannot be captured by an ideal Bayesian observer model alone. Instead, it is well captured by an ideal observer model with efficient encoding and Bayesian decoding of visual information in a slowly changing environment. Concurrent attractive and repulsive history biases in perceptual decisions may thus be the consequence of the need for visual processing to simultaneously satisfy constraints of efficiency and stability.

Abstract
Perceptual decisions about current sensory input are biased toward input of the recent past-a phenomenon termed serial dependence. Serial dependence may serve to stabilize neural representations in the face of external and internal noise. However, it is unclear under which circumstances previous input attracts subsequent perceptual decisions, and thus whether serial dependence reflects a broad smoothing or selective stabilization operation. Here we investigated whether focusing attention on particular features of the previous stimulus modulates serial dependence. We found an attractive bias in orientation estimations when previous and current stimuli had similar orientations, and a repulsive bias when they had dissimilar orientations. The attractive bias was markedly reduced-to less than half of its original magnitude-when observers attended to the size, rather than the orientation, of the previous stimulus. Conversely, the repulsive bias for stimuli with large orientation differences was not modulated by feature-based attention. This suggests separate sources of these positive and negative perceptual biases.

Abstract
The visual system adapts to its recent history. A phenomenon related to this is repetition suppression (RS), a reduction in neural responses to repeated compared with nonrepeated visual input. An intriguing hypothesis is that the timescale over which RS occurs across the visual hierarchy is tuned to the temporal statistics of visual input features, which change rapidly in low-level areas but are more stable in higher level areas. Here, we tested this hypothesis by studying the influence of the temporal lag between successive visual stimuli on RS throughout the visual system using functional (f)MRI. Twelve human volunteers engaged in four fMRI sessions in which we characterized the blood oxygen level-dependent response to pairs of repeated and nonrepeated natural images with interstimulus intervals (ISI) ranging from 50 to 1,000 ms to quantify the temporal tuning of RS along the posterior-anterior axis of the visual system. As expected, RS was maximal for short ISIs and decayed with increasing ISI. Crucially, however, and against our hypothesis, RS decayed at a similar rate in early and late visual areas. This finding challenges the prevailing view that the timescale of RS increases along the posterior-anterior axis of the visual system and suggests that RS is not tuned to temporal input regularities.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Visual areas show reduced neural responses to repeated compared with nonrepeated visual input, a phenomenon termed repetition suppression (RS). Here we show that RS decays at a similar rate in low- and high-level visual areas, suggesting that the short-term decay of RS across the visual hierarchy is not tuned to temporal input regularities. This may limit the specificity with which the mechanisms underlying RS could optimize the processing of input features across the visual hierarchy.

Abstract
Visual stability is thought to be mediated by predictive remapping of the relevant object information from its current, presaccadic location to its future, postsaccadic location on the retina. However, it is heavily debated whether and what feature information is predictively remapped during the presaccadic interval. Here we examined the spatial and featural properties of predictive remapping in a set of three psychophysical studies. We made use of an orientation-adaptation paradigm, in which we induced a tilt aftereffect by prolonged exposure to an oriented adaptor stimulus. Following this adaptation phase, a test stimulus was presented shortly before saccade onset. We found strong evidence for predictive remapping of the features of this test stimulus presented shortly before saccade onset, evidenced by a large tilt aftereffect elicited when the adaptor was positioned at the postsaccadic retinal location of the test stimulus. Conversely, the adaptation state itself, caused by the exposure to the adaptor stimulus, was not predictively remapped. Furthermore, we establish that predictive remapping also occurs for stimuli that are not saccade targets, pointing toward a forward remapping process operating across the whole visual field. Together, our findings suggest that predictive feature remapping of object information plays an important role in mediating visual stability.

Abstract
Representations learned by deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for object recognition are a widely investigated model of the processing hierarchy in the human visual system. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, CNN representations of visual stimuli have previously been shown to correspond to processing stages in the ventral and dorsal streams of the visual system. Whether this correspondence between models and brain signals also holds for activity acquired at high temporal resolution has been explored less exhaustively. Here, we addressed this question by combining CNN-based encoding models with magnetoencephalography (MEG). Human participants passively viewed 1,000 images of objects while MEG signals were acquired. We modelled their high temporal resolution source-reconstructed cortical activity with CNNs, and observed a feed-forward sweep across the visual hierarchy between 75 and 200 ms after stimulus onset. This spatiotemporal cascade was captured by the network layer representations, where the increasingly abstract stimulus representation in the hierarchical network model was reflected in different parts of the visual cortex, following the visual ventral stream. We further validated the accuracy of our encoding model by decoding stimulus identity in a left-out validation set of viewed objects, achieving state-of-the-art decoding accuracy.

Abstract
An automated sample changer for small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) on protein in solution is reported. The technical implementation and integration to a synchrotron-based SAXS beamline is described. There is a rapidly increasing interest in the use of synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) for large-scale studies of biological macromolecules in solution, and this requires an adequate means of automating the experiment. A prototype has been developed of an automated sample changer for solution SAXS, where the solutions are kept in thermostatically controlled well plates allowing for operation with up to 192 samples. The measuring protocol involves controlled loading of protein solutions and matching buffers, followed by cleaning and drying of the cell between measurements. The system was installed and tested at the X33 beamline of the EMBL, at the storage ring DORIS-III (DESY, Hamburg), where it was used by over 50 external groups during 2007. At X33, a throughput of approximately 12 samples per hour, with a failure rate of sample loading of less than 0.5%, was observed. The feedback from users indicates that the ease of use and reliability of the user operation at the beamline were greatly improved compared with the manual filling mode. The changer is controlled by a client–server-based network protocol, locally and remotely. During the testing phase, the changer was operated in an attended mode to assess its reliability and convenience. Full integration with the beamline control software, allowing for automated data collection of all samples loaded into the machine with remote control from the user, is presently being implemented. The approach reported is not limited to synchrotron-based SAXS but can also be used on laboratory and neutron sources.

Abstract
Present health status, complications, and development of long-term survivors of childhood cancer followed for more than 20 years in a single institution were reviewed. The departmental database was searched to identify patients diagnosed with childhood cancer and consequently treated between 1965 and 1978. A total of 124 (77%) long-term survivors participated on a voluntary basis in the study. A semi-standardized interview consisted of measures evaluating the present health condition, sequelae of treatment, second malignancies, intellectual development and presence of offspring of the former patients. The majority of patients were treated with chemotherapy (82%). 67% received radiotherapy and 67% underwent surgery. A relapse of the primary tumor was diagnosed in four patients as well as a second malignancy in four other patients. In 33% of the long-term survivors one or more serious therapy-related health problems were noted. Adequate mental and intellectual development was achieved in 65%. Children treated in the early years of pediatric oncology seem to have a satisfactory outcome as viewed over the long term. Consequent ongoing follow-up is still necessary to detect health problems and enhance quality of life for subsequent generations of children with cancer.

Abstract
Extracellular hormones, growth factors and cytokines relay their effects on the transcription of genes through the recognition of specific receptors and intracellular signalling molecules. Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) have been recognized as crucial intracellular signalling molecules. The cytokine receptor-associated Janus kinases (JAKs) convert the latent monomeric form of the STAT molecules to the activated dimeric form through tyrosine phosphorylation. The dimers bind to specific DNA response elements and are able to induce transcription. This induction requires the full-length form of the STAT molecules. Negative regulatory potential is exerted by the short form of the molecule, which lacks the trans-activation domain. This short form is activated and dimerized, but dephosphorylation is impaired. The short form of STAT occupies the DNA-binding sites in a stable fashion and acts as a strong suppressor of wild-type action. Positive enhancement of STAT5 trans-activation potential is provided by the glucocorticoid receptor. Ligand activation of this receptor causes the formation of a complex with STAT5 and deviation to the STAT5 DNA-binding site. An additional regulatory loop is provided by the reactivation of the short form of STAT5 through glucocorticoid receptor association. Conversely, classical glucocorticoid-responsive genes are negatively affected by STAT5 activation.

Abstract
The p53 tumour suppressor protein is a transcriptional activator, which can induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. p53 Gene mutations occur in more than 50% of all human tumours. Reintroduction of wild-type p53 but also of oligomerisation-independent p53 variants into tumour cells by gene transfer methods has been considered. We have investigated the biological properties of two carboxy-terminal deletion mutants of p53, p53 delta 300 (comprising amino acids 1-300) and p53 delta 326 (amino acids 1-326), to evaluate their potential deployment in gene therapy. Transactivation was measured in transiently transfected HeLa and SKBR3 cells. Both monomeric variants showed reduced activities compared with wild-type p53. Individual promoters were differently affected. In contrast to wild-type p53, monomeric variants were not able to induce apoptosis. We also provided wild-type p53 and p53 delta 326 with tetracycline-regulated promoters and stably introduced these constructs into Saos2 and SKBR3 cells. Upon induction, wild-type p53 expressing cells, but not p53 delta 326 expressing cells underwent apoptosis. Consistently, only wild-type p53 expressing cells accumulated p21/waf1/cip1 mRNA and protein and showed increased bax, Gadd45 and mdm2 mRNA. Neither wild-type p53 nor p53 delta 326 repressed the transcription of the IGF-1R gene in these cell lines. We conclude that the transactivation potential of monomeric, carboxy-terminally truncated p53 is not sufficient to cause induction of the endogenous target genes which trigger apoptosis.

Abstract
p53 is a tumor suppressor which exerts its function through the regulation of genes mediating cell cycle arrest and the induction of apoptosis. Cellular survival and proliferation can be positively regulated through the action of cytokines. These signals act through the activation of cell surface receptors, and the phosphorylation of intracellular signaling components, e.g. members of the Stat family (signal transducers and activators of transcription). The signaling effects of p53 and the cytokine receptors on the cellular phenotype are counteracting. We investigated the influence of p53 on the transactivation potential of Stat5. p53 repressed the prolactin induction of the Stat5 mediated transcription of the beta-casein promoter-luciferase reporter gene, but did not affect IFN-gamma induced, Stat1 dependent transcription of the IRF-1 promoter. The inhibition was not due to a decrease in the cellular concentration of Stat5 or to interference with its specific DNA binding activity. No repression of the basal transcriptional activity of the beta-casein promoter was observed. p53 mutants defective in their DNA binding or oligomerization functions had only weak inhibitory effects, but a mutant of p53 in the transactivation domain, efficiently repressed Stat5 dependent induction. The repressive function of p53 on Stat5 activity is independent of the amino-terminal transactivation domain, but requires a functional DNA binding domain and the carboxyl-terminal domain. Our experiments show that p53 counteracts Stat5 mediated cytokine induction of gene transcription. The effect is specific for Stat5 and independent of p53 induced apoptosis.

Abstract
The tumor suppressor protein p53 is a transcription factor frequently inactivated in human cancers. We have studied the DNA binding potential and the transcriptional activity of p53 variants and p53 protein complexes in in vitro transcription assays. p53 specific transcription was measured via introduction of radioactive UTP into G-free cassette transcripts regulated by promoter sequences containing p53 response elements. Latent and activated p53 fractions were prepared from insect cells infected with p53 encoding baculoviruses by chromatography on heparin columns. p53 fractions distinguishable by their specific DNA binding activities and their recognition by monoclonal antibody PAb421 were obtained. Specific DNA binding and binding to PAb421 are mutually exclusive. The C-terminus of p53 can be phosphorylated by casein kinase II, protein kinase C and cyclin dependent kinases. The antibody PAb421 binds within the PKC phosphorylation site of p53 and is able to activate DNA binding of latent p53 in vitro. Activation of p53 by PAb421 also results in enhanced transactivation in vitro. Dephosphorylation of latent p53 with phosphatase 2A does not change these properties. This suggests that a conformational change in the carboxyl terminal domain of p53 controls the transactivation potential of p53.

Abstract
We demonstrate here that synthetic 22-mer peptide 46, corresponding to the carboxy-terminal amino acid residues 361-382 of p53, can activate specific DNA binding of wild-type p53 in vitro and can restore the transcriptional transactivating function of at least some mutant p53 proteins in living cells. Introduction of peptide 46 in Saos-2 cells carrying a Tet-regulatable His-273 mutant p53 construct caused growth inhibition and apoptosis in the presence of mutant p53 but not in its absence, confirming that the effect of the peptide is mediated by reactivation of mutant p53. Moreover, peptide 46 caused apoptosis in mutant as well as wild-type p53-carrying human tumor cell lines of different origin, whereas p53 null tumor cells were not affected. These findings raise possibilities for developing drugs that restore the tumor suppressor function of mutant p53 proteins, thus selectively eliminating tumor cells.

Abstract
Flavonoids are diphenyl propanoids widely distributed in edible plants. They play a dual role in mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. Some of them act as anticarcinogens or inhibit the growth of tumour cells, whereas others act as cocarcinogens, are mutagenic or able to induce DNA damage. To further elucidate this dual role, we investigated the influence of apigenin, luteolin and quercetin on the tumour suppressor protein p53, regarding p53 accumulation, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and biological activity. We found that incubation of the non-tumour cell line C3H10T1/2CL8 with these flavonoids resulted in induction of p53 accumulation and apoptosis. Apoptosis occurred out of the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. The G2/M arrest seems to be p53-dependent as it did not occur in p53 knockout fibroblasts which further supports the recent finding that p53 is involved in the G2/M checkpoint control. Differences between the flavonoids tested concerned p53 accumulation kinetics as well as the biological activity of accumulated p53 and might be due to different modes of flavonoid action. These data suggest that both aspects of flavonoid effects, i.e. inhibition of tumour growth through cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis, are functionally related to p53.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated alterations in serotonin metabolism within descending pathways following infusion of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) into the midbrain, near the periaqueductal gray and dorsal and median raphe nuclei. The aim of the present study was to extend these studies to include a comprehensive regional examination of monoamine (serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine) and metabolite levels in discrete areas of the intact, adult rat forebrain following direct intraparenchymal midbrain BDNF infusion. We have compared neurochemical changes following midbrain infusion of BDNF to those obtained following intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) infusion. Significant increases in levels of 5-HIAA and/or the 5-HIAA/5-HT ratio were found in all areas examined including the hippocampus, cortex, striatum, n. accumbens, substantia nigra and hypothalamus following both midbrain and i.c.v. infusion. Changes in dopaminergic activity were also observed, but displayed more regional specificity, i.e. changes were found primarily within the striatum and cortex. The two infusion sites produced similar patterns of neurochemical effects although the magnitude of the changes did vary in some areas. These results suggest that BDNF increased synthesis and/or turnover of serotonin, and to a lesser extent dopamine, in the mature rat forebrain. Furthermore, these data point to possible functional roles for BDNF in neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions which involve a dysregulation of these monoamine systems.

Abstract
Rat models of Parkinson's disease typically employ a rapid nigral injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) to produce a near-complete loss of nigrostriatal dopamine neurons, and thus, model end stage disease. The present report describes the use of a continuous, low dose infusion of 6-OHDA into the striatum which produces a terminal axotomy of nigrostriatal dopamine neurons and protracted behavioral response. A solution of 6-OHDA in 0.4% ascorbate, delivered at 37 degrees C from osmotic minipumps, was stable for 8 days as determined by its retained toxicity to a dopaminergic neuroblastoma cell line. The continuous infusion of 0.2 mu g 6-OHDA per h did not affect the striatal uptake of [3H]%GABA, [3H]choline, or [3H]glutamate but reduced [3H]dopamine uptake by 55% within 1.5 days after the start of the infusion. The striatal infusion of 6-OHDA produced a dose-dependent reduction of striatal dopamine and DOPAC levels but did not alter HVA, 5-HT, or 5-HIAA. An increase in amphetamine-induced ipsiversive rotations occurred within 1.5 days after the acute striatal injection of 20 mu g or 30 mu g of 6-OHDA but required 4 days to develop with the continuous 6-OHDA infusion. The topography of the lesion mapped by [3H]mazindol binding showed that, beginning by 1.5 days, a diffuse depletion of terminals encompassed much of the striatum in the 30 mu g acute injection group, whereas in the continuously infused rats, the lesion was apparent only by 4 days and was restricted to a smaller and more completely lesioned area. Unlike acutely lesioned animals, continuously infused rats revealed no obvious loss of dopamine neurons in the pars compacta by 5 weeks after 6-OHDA. The continuous striatal infusion of 6-OHDA can produce a topographically limited terminal axotomy of dopamine neurons and a protracted behavioral impairment.

Abstract
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is one of several endogenous proteins that play key roles in neuronal development and homeostasis. We describe here the characterization and use of a sensitive and specific enzyme-linked immunoassay (EIA) for BDNF protein. Recombinant BDNF was detected at concentrations as low as 10 pg/ml, whereas the EIA did not detect NT-3, NT-4/5, or NGF at concentrations as high as 100 ng/ml. Because BDNF protein sequences are identical among humans, mice, and rats, we utilized the BDNF EIA to detect BDNF in the circulation or brain regions of these species. High concentrations of BDNF were detected in human and rat serum, and up to 50-fold lower BDNF levels were present in citrated human or rat plasma. The BDNF signal (66-141 pg/ml) in 20% human plasma was completely blocked by pre-exposure of plasma to a monoclonal antibody (Mab) specific for BDNF but not by exposure to 5-fold greater concentrations of an irrelevant Mab of the same isotype (IgG1). There was a significant and positive correlation (r = +0.86) between plasma levels of BDNF and serotonin, an indoleamine that is specifically released from activated platelets. These results are consistent with the view that the BDNF detected in human and rat plasma is derived from platelet degranulation, and that circulating levels of BDNF are negligible. In contrast to human or rat serum, mouse serum contained no detectable BDNF. However, BDNF protein was readily detectable at 108-256 ng/g of tissue in hippocampus, frontal cortex, and neostriatum of mice and rats. Thus, the failure to detect BDNF in murine serum was not due to an assay defect but highlights a significant species difference in the tissue-specific expression of BDNF that may be of biological importance. The presence of BDNF protein in blood and brain regions at quantities which greatly exceed those described for NGF confirm the abundant distribution of this broadly-acting neurotrophic factor.

Abstract
In response to DNA damage the wild-type tumor suppressor protein p53 accumulates in the nucleus of rodent and primate cells. To investigate the minimal requirement for this reaction the cellular DNA was restricted by two alternative ways: (i) by calicheamicin gamma 1, an enediyne, which causes direct, sequence-specific DNA damage, as shown by fluorimetric analysis of DNA unwinding and by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activation. The dose-dependent DNA damage correlated with the nuclear p53 accumulation. In addition, restriction was generated (ii) by the intracellular introduction of the restriction enzyme PvuII, which generates blunt-ended DNA breaks, applying a mild hypotonic shock (pellet method). Previous transfection of linear or circular, single- or ds, DNA, followed by mitomycin C-treatment, lead to a dramatic increase in nuclear p53 accumulation and p53 activity according to electrophoretic mobility shift analysis. The nature of transfected DNA was irrelevant for enhanced accumulation. The data suggest, that the cellular p53 response to DNA damage is sensitized by uptake of exogenous DNA.

Abstract
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-4/5 (NT-4/5) have both been identified as ligands for the TrkB receptor, yet differences have emerged in terms of their in vitro potencies for neuronal survival and differentiation. This has prompted the in vivo study of their effects on behavior and neuro-chemical parameters associated with dopamine, serotonin, and GABAergic neurons in the basal ganglia. Two-week supranigral infusions of NT-4/5 and BDNF were similar in their ability to augment levels of the dopamine metabolite homovanilic acid (HVA) (63 and 78%, respectively) and the ratios of dihydroxphenylacetic acid/dopamine (DOPAC/DA) (39, 48%) and HVA/DA (85, 77%) in the caudate-putamen of the hemisphere ipsilateral to the nigral infusion. Striatal concentrations of DOPAC were elevated 45% by BDNF but not by NT-4/5. The 3-MT/dopamine ratio, an indicator of dopamine release, was elevated by 38 and 32% in the striata of BDNF- and NT-4/5-infused rats, respectively. Striatal indoleamine metabolism, determined by the ratio of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5HIAA)/serotonin was also elevated by NT-4/5 and BDNF in the caudate-putamen (29, 32%), and the 5HIAA content of the substantia nigra was elevated by both factors (43, 40%). The activity of GAD within the superior colliculus was elevated 21 and 41% by BDNF and NT-4/5, respectively. A contraversive rotational bias was induced in BDNF and NT-4/5-treated rats challenged with d-amphetamine, and these responses were blocked by pretreatment with selective D1 or D2 receptor antagonists but not by opiate receptor antagonism. Thus, NT-4/5 and BDNF can elevate the turnover of dopamine through both metabolic and release pools and augment the behavioral response to d-amphetamine. The role for dopamine in this behavioral response is indicated by the requirement of unoccupied D1 and D2 receptors, but may also involve changes in serotonergic, GABAergic, or other pathways. The TrkB receptor-specific actions of BDNF and NT-4/5 may have implications for understanding the etiology or treatment of basal ganglia disorders.

Abstract
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promotes the survival of dopamine (DA) neurons, enhances expression of DA neuron characteristics, and protects these cells from 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) toxicity in vitro. We tested the ability of BDNF or neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) to exert similar protective effects in vivo during chronic delivery of 6-OHDA to the rat neostriatum. Chronic infusions of BDNF or NT-3 (12 micrograms/day) above the substantia nigra were started 6 days before and continued during an 8-day chronic intrastrial infusion of 6-OHDA. In control and neurotrophin-treated animals, 6-OHDA treatment selectively depleted 50-60% of nigrostriatal DA nerve terminals but produced little if any loss of pars compacta DA cell bodies. This partial DA lesion resulted in three rotations per minute toward the lesioned hemisphere after treatment with the DA release-inducing drug d-amphetamine. Compared with supranigral infusions of vehicle, BDNF and NT-3 decreased the number of these ipsiversive rotations by 70 and 48% and increased by 20- and 10-fold, respectively, the number of contraversive rotations observed after amphetamine injection. When challenged with the DA receptor agonist apomorphine, BDNF- and NT-3-treated animals also exhibited a seven- and 3.5-fold increase in the number of contraversive rotations relative to the vehicle group, respectively. Compared with vehicle, BDNF increased striatal levels of homovanillic acid (HVA; 86%), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC; 42%), and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA; 32%) and the HVA/DA (43%) and 5-HIAA/serotonin (34%) ratios in the DA-denervated striatum. NT-3 augmented only striatal 5-HIAA levels (24%). Neither factor altered the 6-OHDA-induced decrease in striatal DA levels or high-affinity DA uptake and thus did not protect against the destruction of DA terminals and did not alter striatal D1 or D2 ligand binding. Choline, GABA, and glutamate uptake in the striatum were not altered by the lesion or neurotrophin treatment. Thus, BDNF and to a lesser extent NT-3 reverse rotational behavioral deficits and augment striatal DA and 5-HT metabolism in a partial DA lesion model.

Abstract
A number of agents which damage DNA also trigger the nuclear accumulation of the tumor suppressor protein p53. Here we show the correlation with different p53 detection methods. As an example we investigated the effects of the cancer therapy drug mitomycin C on different mammalian cell lines. Our findings demonstrate that either the immunofluorescence techniques (indirect immunofluorescence staining or flow cytometric analysis) or ELISA or immunoblot assays are useful methods in detecting p53 accumulation. Simultaneously we measured DNA damage with the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase assay. Compatible data were obtained. Thus p53 accumulation may be used as indicator of DNA injury.

Abstract
Cancer therapy drugs, such as diamminedichloroplatinum (cisplatin), mitomycin C, etoposide and a number of other compounds, as well as energy-rich radiation, are known to act on cellular DNA. These agents are shown to induce nuclear accumulation of the so-called tumor-suppressor protein p53 in fibroblastoid cells, as well as in epithelioid normal and immortalized cells of murine, simian, and human origin. p53 accumulation starts a few hours after treatment and can remain detectable in surviving cells for at least 20 days. Accumulation occurs because of increased p53 protein stability and depends on ongoing translation. It is not the result of enhanced gene expression. A number of cell cycle inhibitors do not affect p53 protein accumulation, suggesting that the process may start from several points in the cell cycle. Since the increase in the nuclear p53 protein levels occurs within a few hours in most of the treated normal diploid cells, it is unlikely that the accumulated p53 protein is derived from a mutated p53 gene. The results obtained are in accordance with the view that the DNA damage-induced p53 accumulation may either inhibit cell growth, allowing DNA repair processes, or, in the case of severe damage, initiate apoptosis.
