Frog Sartorius

In frog ventricular strips bathed in Ca-free Ringer's solution containing 6–30 mm/liter Mg and treated with conditioning current pulses, propagation became impaired. An exaggerated foot, or prepotential, was consistently more prominent when the conditioned strip was stimulated from one end than from the other. Occasionally a prepotential in isolation alternated with a prepotential plus action potential response. After further treatment with current pulses, propagation failed in the direction of negative current flow. Thresholds of impaled cells were identical. Bidirectional propagation was restored in Ringer's solution. Conditioning pulses of reversed polarity induced unidirectional propagation in the reverse direction. Propagation in frog sartorius muscle was not blocked under similar conditions. Prepotentials and unidirectional propagation may be explained by junctional transmission from cell to cell.

AbstractSignaling via interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) is a requisite for regulatory T (Treg) cell identity and function. However, it is not completely understood to what degree IL-2R signaling is required for Treg cell homeostasis, lineage stability and function in both resting and inflammatory conditions. Here, we characterized a spontaneous mutant mouse strain endowed with a hypomorphic Tyr129His variant of CD25, the α-chain of IL-2R, which resulted in diminished receptor expression and reduced IL-2R signaling. Under noninflammatory conditions, Cd25Y129H mice harbored substantially lower numbers of peripheral Treg cells with stable Foxp3 expression that prevented the development of spontaneous autoimmune disease. In contrast, Cd25Y129H Treg cells failed to efficiently induce immune suppression and lost lineage commitment in a T-cell transfer colitis model, indicating that unimpaired IL-2R signaling is critical for Treg cell function in inflammatory environments. Moreover, single-cell RNA sequencing of Treg cells revealed that impaired IL-2R signaling profoundly affected the balance of central and effector Treg cell subsets. Thus, partial loss of IL-2R signaling differentially interferes with the maintenance, heterogeneity, and suppressive function of the Treg cell pool.
