The ultrastructure of the organ of Bellonci in the hypogean isopod Stenasellus virei boui was investigated. There are two organs located anterodorsally, one on each side of the cephalon. Each organ consists of a wall surrounding a cavity with a central core irregular in shape. The bordering wall contains some glial cells and the inner dendritic segments of 25–28 sensory cells, each one bearing two cilia. Each cilium has a typical 9 + 0 axoneme, a basal body, and a long straight ciliary root that is at a right angle to the basal body; the cilium branches out into tubules that usually contain 1 microtubule, occasionally 2 or more. The ciliary tubules are gathered in three or four long bundles and are not linked to the core. The ciliary connections appear to be both conical and cylindrical. The ultrastructural morphology (polarization of the cilia, spatial arrangement of the bundles and central core) suggests that this organ can record directional stimuli.

Incubation of brain slices from the cephalopod Octopus vulgaris with [ 3 H] noradrenaline, followed by radioautography, showed preferential accumulation of the isotope in glial cells. Evidence that the glial cells also take up catecholamines in vivo was obtained with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). Five or more days after injection of 6-OHDA into the blood, glial cells in the median frontal and superior buccal lobes were found to contain masses of osmiophilic inclusions characteristic of degenerating cells, or to have lost many of their processes. No changes in the structure of neurones in these brain lobes were observed at any period up to 15 days after injection. In the optic lobes, however, nerve terminals as well as glial cells showed degenerative alterations.

The oxidative-stress-induced impairment of autophagy plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). In this study, we investigated whether the alteration of Nrf2 in astrocytes protected against 6-OHDA (6-hydroxydopamine)- and rotenone-induced PD-like phenotypes, using 6-OHDA-induced rat PD and rotenone-induced Drosophila PD models. In the PD rat model, we found that Nrf2 expression was significantly higher in astrocytes than in neurons. CDDO-Me (CDDO methyl ester, an Nrf2 inducer) administration attenuated PD-like neurodegeneration mainly through Nrf2 activation in astrocytes by activating the antioxidant signaling pathway and enhancing autophagy in the substantia nigra and striatum. In the PD Drosophila model, the overexpression of Nrf2 in glial cells displayed more protective effects than such overexpression in neurons. Increased Nrf2 expression in glial cells significantly reduced oxidative stress and enhanced autophagy in the brain tissue. The administration of the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 reduced the neuroprotective effect of Nrf2 through the inhibition of the antioxidant signaling pathway and autophagy pathway. The autophagy inhibitor 3-MA partially reduced the neuroprotective effect of Nrf2 through the inhibition of the autophagy pathway, but not the antioxidant signaling pathway. Moreover, Nrf2 knockdown caused neurodegeneration in flies. Treatment with CDDO-Me attenuated the Nrf2-knockdown-induced degeneration in the flies through the activation of the antioxidant signaling pathway and increased autophagy. An autophagy inducer, rapamycin, partially rescued the neurodegeneration in Nrf2-knockdown Drosophila by enhancing autophagy. Our results indicate that the activation of the Nrf2-linked signaling pathways in glial cells plays an important neuroprotective role in PD models. Our findings not only provide a novel insight into the mechanisms of Nrf2–antioxidant–autophagy signaling, but also provide potential targets for PD interventions.
