“…Both antibodies detected a major 110-kDa band of DGKθ on an immunoblotting membrane containing the extract from whole brain (Additional file 1: Figure S1 C), in which DGKθ had been detected with RT-PCR (data not shown). The observed molecular size coincided with the size of endogenous protein (110 kDa) in HEK293 and HeLa cell lysates by immunoblotting [16,23]. The specificity of this antibody was further confirmed by the transient transfection.…”

“…Another isoform, DGKζ is a type IV DGK that is ubiquitously expressed in most mouse tissues. DGK ζ KO mice exhibit abnormalities in multiple tissues, including a decrease in the number of dendritic spines, and an impairment of the immune response [4,16,17]. In regard to nervous system, a large number of studies have shown the roles of DGKs in neuronal spine density, synaptic activity, epileptogenesis and neuronal plasticity in mammals [18,19] and C. elegans used as a genetic model [20].…”

The expression of diacylglycerol kinase theta during the organogenesis of mouse embryos

et al. 2013

BackgroundDiacylglycerol kinase (DGK) is a key enzyme that regulates diacylglycerol (DG) turnover and is involved in a variety of physiological functions. The isoform DGKθ has a unique domain structure and is the sole member of type V DGK. To reveal the spatial and temporal expression of DGKθ we performed immunohistochemical staining on paraffin sections of mouse embryos.ResultsAt an early stage of development (E10.5 and 11.5), the expression of DGKθ was prominently detected in the brain, spinal cord, dorsal root ganglion, and limb bud, and was also moderately detected in the bulbus cordis and the primordium of the liver and gut. At later stages (E12.5 and 14.5), DGKθ expression persisted or increased in the neocortex, epithalamus, hypothalamus, medulla oblongata, and pons. DGKθ was also evident in the epidermis, and nearly all epithelia of the oropharyngeal membrane, digestive tract, and bronchea. At prenatal developmental stages (E16.5 and E18.5), the expression pattern of DGKθ was maintained in the central nervous system, intestine, and kidney, but was attenuated in the differentiated epidermis.ConclusionThese results suggest that DGKθ may play important physiological roles not only in the brain, but also in diverse organs and tissues during the embryonic stages.

“…Gentrification has been a major area of interest, with researchers attempting to understand the patterns by which it arises (Hwang and Sampson 2014) and the impacts that it can have on the individuals and communities that are already present (Formoso et al 2010). Nonetheless, there is no standardized index or set of indices for measuring it.…”

The Other Side of the Broken Window: A Methodology that Translates Building Permits into an Ecometric of Investment by Community Members

Much research has focused on physical disorder in urban neighborhoods as evidence that the community does not maintain local norms and spaces. Little attention has been paid to the opposite: indicators of proactive investment in the neighborhood's upkeep. This manuscript presents a methodology that translates a database of approved building permits into an ecometric of investment by community members, establishing basic content, criteria for reliability, and construct validity. A database from Boston, MA contained 150,493 permits spanning 2.5 years, each record including the property to be modified, permit type, and date issued. Investment was operationalized as the proportion of properties in a census block group that underwent an addition or renovation, excluding larger developments involving the demolition or construction of a building. The reliability analysis found that robust measures could be generated every 6 months, and that longitudinal analysis could differentiate between trajectories across neighborhoods. The validity analysis supported two hypotheses: investment was best predicted by homeownership and median income; and maintained an independent relationship with measures of physical disorder despite controlling for demographics, implying that it captures the other end of a spectrum of neighborhood maintenance. Possible uses for the measure in research and policy are discussed.

“…There has been some argument that processes of gentrification can ameliorate the negative outcomes of poor urban environments by deconcentrating poverty through an influx of wealthier residents and better facilities (e.g. Formoso et al, 2010). However, this process implies one of the most ubiquitous criticisms of gentrification, that of the displacement of existing residents.…”

Spatial Dislocation and Affective Displacement: Youth Perspectives on Gentrification in London

Analyses of contemporary processes of gentrification have been primarily produced from adult perspectives with little focus on how age affects or mediates urban change. However, in analysing young people's responses to transformations in their neighbourhood we argue that there is evidence for a more complex relationship between ‘gentrifiers' and residents than existing arguments of antagonism or tolerance would suggest. Using a participatory video methodology to document experiences of gentrification in the east London borough of Hackney, we found that young people involved in this study experienced their transforming city through processes of spatial dislocation and affective displacement. The former incorporated a sense of disorientation in the temporal disjunctions of the speed of change, while the latter invoked the embodiment of a sense of not belonging generated within classed and intercultural interactions. However, there are expressions of ambivalence rather than straightforward rejection. Benefits of gentrification were noted, including conditions of alterity and the possibility to transcend normative behaviours that they found uncomfortable. Young people demonstrated the capacity to reimagine their relationship with the complex spaces they call home. The findings suggest a need to reframe debates on gentrification to include a more nuanced understanding of its differential impact on young people.
