    Notizen: The effects of relative humidity on hemolymph osmolarity and on kidney ultrastructure are explored in Helix aspersa. The snails are active at 95% relative humidity and less active at 50% relative humidity. The hemolymph osmotic pressure increases with the decrease of relative humidity. Pericardial fluid and hemolymph collected from the heart contain similar amounts of total proteins, and both fluids display hemocyanin molecules in negatively stained preparations. When the snails are kept in an atmosphere of 95% relative humidity, numerous wide intercellular spaces are observed in the single-layered-kidney epithelium. The spaces are almost absent when the snails are kept at 50% relative humidity. It is suggested that prourine is formed through a paracellular junctional pathway across the single-layered kidney epithelium, and that the pericardial cavity is not the site of prourine formation. The septate junctions joining the kidney epithelial cells form a continuous belt of intimate contact in the paracellular pathway of prourine. Long septate junctions with many septa are present in the kidneys of snails from the atmosphere of 50% relative humidity, whereas short septate junctions with fewer septa are found in the kidneys of snails from the atmosphere of 95% relative humidity. It is possible that the longer septate junctions with many septa reduce prourine formation across the kidney sac epithelium.

    Notizen: Rotaviruses are nonenveloped viruses that code for two glycoproteins: a structural glycoprotein (VP7) and a nonstructural glycoprotein (NS29). The precursor to VP7 (37K) was shown to contain a 1.5K cleavable signal sequence. The 37K precursor was authentically processed (signal sequence cleaved and the polypeptide “core” glycosylated) when synthesized in a cell-free system supplemented with dog pancreatic microsomes. Similar experiments were performed with the nonstructural glycoprotein precursor (20K); however, the 20K precursor contained an integral (noncleavable) signal sequence. Both precursors were inserted into membranes cotranslationally and both glycosylated products underwent post-translational oligosaccharide processing. The results suggest a morphogenetic scheme for the simian rotavirus SA11.

    Notizen: To investigate the molecular basis of the observed morphological and biological characteristics of coelomic egg envelopes (CE), vitelline envelopes (VE), and fertilization envelopes (FE) of Xenopus laevis eggs, envelopes were radioiodinated under a variety of conditions: in situ, isolated and intact, or solubilized. The distribution of 125I in envelope components was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Each envelope type displayed unique profiles when iodinated in the intact state. A major constituent of VE, the 41,500 molecular weight component, was not labeled in the intact state, although the corresponding component of CE was heavily labeled. After dissociation of the envelope by guanidine-HCl or sodium dodecyl sulfate, all of the components could be radioiodinated. However, when the envelopes (VE and FE) were dissolved by heating and subsequently radioiodinated by lactoperoxidase, the resulting radioactivity profile was similar to that of the intact envelopes, suggesting that in the heat-dissolved envelope, the individual components retain similar structural relations as in the intact envelope. Quantitative but not qualitative differences were found between the inner and outer aspects of VE and FE. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to what is known about the morphological, biological, and molecular properties of the envelopes.

    Notizen: The ability to grow lymphoid cells in serum-free media affords the advantage of separately analyzing those components found to be involved in proliferation and differentiation. Iscove's medium (IMDM) supplemented with bovine serum albumin or casein, cholesterol, ferrous chloride, insulin, β-mercaptoethanol, L-α-phosphatidylcholine, and transferrin supported the long-term proliferation of a gibbon ape lymphoma T-cell line, MLA144. These cells continue to produce Interleukin 2 (IL-2, T-cell growth factor) constitutively in the serum-free medium. IL-2-dependent human T cells initiated and maintained in culture in serum-free medium containing IL-2 have continued to replicate for over 3 months with two population doublings every 3 to 4 days. A normal, IL-2-dependent marmoset T-cell line, OH-1, also proliferated on the serum-free medium when supplemented with IL-2. Several established primate B-cell lines which do not require IL-2 for growth were able to proliferate in the serum-free medium. These B-cell lines included B95-8, an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed marmoset cell line, HuCo/R-H, a human cord B-lymphocyte line transformed with EBV, and Namalwa, an EBV-positive B-cell line established from a Burkitt's lymphoma. B95-8 cells grown on serum-free medium showed high levels of EBV antigen-positive cells after induction with 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA).

    Notizen: Fully grown oocytes 1.2mm in diameter were removed from Xenopus laevis ovaries and were exposed to progesterone (2.5 μg/ml in Ringer's solution) to induce completion of the first maturation division or germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD). This process required 5.5 ± 0.5 hr. Neither oocyte vo ume nor water content was observed to change throughout muturation. At selected times, the oocytes were quick frozen in liquid propane and cryosectioned. The sections were freeze-dried, and analyzed for K, Na, Cl, P, S, and Mg in millimolar per kilogram dry weight content in the nucleus and the yolk-free cytoplasm using electron probe X-ray microanalysis. Unstimulated oocytes showed significant nuclear to yolk-free cytoplasmic content gradients (N/C ratio) for the following elements: K (1.84), P (0.65), and S (1.56), but significant N/C content gradients were not found for Na and Mg. By 10 min after progesterone stimulation, a significant change in the N/C ratio of the following elements had occurred due to a rapid increase in nuclear content: K (2.29), Cl (2011). A significant N/C ratio for Mg (1.35) had developed by 10 min after progesterone stimulation and a significant N/C ratio for Na (2.07) had developed by 45 min. In addition the following elements showed significant content increases in both the nucleus and the yolk-free cytoplasm from the time prior to progesterone stimulation to the time just prior to GVBD at 240 min: K, Na, Cl, P, S, and Mg. Nuclear magnetic reasonance measurements of the spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) of water proton in oocytes showed a sinificant increase in the T1 time after progesterone exposure. The changes in N/C ratios of specific elements and in the physical parameter of water proton relaxation time suggest that progesterone is responsible for inducing changes in the physicochemical interactions between various macromolecules, specific elements, and water.

    Notizen: Synchronous populations of HeLa S3 cells suffer synergistic killing during S phase in the presence of 0.5-5 mM hydroxyurea together with 5-10 mM caffeine. Both the rate and the extent of killing are greater than expected for independent action of the two drugs. Only simultaneous treatment is effective. The dependence of the synergistic killing on cell age resembles the age dependence for killing by hydroxyurea alone (〉3 mM), but not that by high concentrations of caffeine. In addition, rapid killing occurs if caffeine is added to cultures that have been incubated in the presence of hydroxyurea from early G1 and are blocked at the beginning of S, although such cells are killed only slowly on continued incubation in ≥ 10 mM hydroxyurea alone. Furthermore, cells that are incubated with the two drugs from early G1 begin to undergo synergistic killing at about 12 h after mitotic collection, but they do not commence DNA replication for another 2-3 h if the drugs are removed. It is concluded that cells that have reached a point in the cycle identical with or close to the end of G1 are sensitive to the combination whether or not they are able to synthesize DNA, and whether or not they are sensitive to hydroxyurea alone. A tentative model is proposed: hydroxyurea is postulated to kill cells by interacting with sites of replication in DNA, and the synergism is attributed to the extra replication points that caffeine is known to induce.

    Notizen: Four endothelial cell clones derived from adult bovine aorta were examined with respect to their proliferative characteristics In vitro. Three of these clones, derived in the absence of fibroblast growth factor (FGF), displayed variable basal proliferative rates. One of these non-FGF derived clones grew at a maximal rate which could not be further enhanced with FGF. The other two clones grew at a suboptimal rate which was stimulated by low doses of FGF (10-50 ng/ml) and inhibited by higher doses (100-250 ng/ml). The fourth clone, derived in the presence of FGF, was stimulated by FGF in a dose-dependent manner (10-250 ng/ml) and was not growth inhibited at high FGF concentrations (250-1,000 ng/ml). Growth of all four clones on extracellular matrix (ECM) derived from bovine aortic smooth muscle (BASM) cells was optimal in the absence of FGF. ECM-coated dishes also significantly increased the sensitivity of all clones by at least fivefold to mitogenic stimulation by serum. The proliferative lifespans of the clones ranged between 60 and 120 generations with the most actively proliferating clones attaining the greatest lifespan. Continuous subculture of two of the endothelial clones in the presence of FGF or on ECM-coated dishes did not induce a dependence of the cells on either factor for subsequent growth in its absence. The results indicate that aortic endothelial cells display considerable clonal variability in ther basal proliferative rate and in their response to FGF. This clonal variability is not observed when the cells are maintained on ECM-coated dishes derived from vascular smooth muscle cells.

    Notizen: The present study traces corneal morphogenesis in a reptile, the lizard Calotes versicolor, from the lens placode stage (stage 24) until hatching (stage 42), and in the adult. The corneal epithelium separates from the lens placode as a double layer of peridermal and basal cells and remains bilayered throughout development and in the adult. Between stages 32- and 33+, the corneal epithelium is apposed to the lens, and limbic mesodermal cells migrate between the basement membrane of the epithelium and the lens capsule to form a monolayered corneal endothelium. Soon thereafter a matrix of amorphous ground substance and fine collagen fibrils, the presumptive stroma, is seen between the epithelium and the endothelium. Just before stage 34 a new set of limbic mesodermal cells, the keratocytes, migrate into the presumptive stroma. Migrating limbic mesodermal cells, both endothelial cells and keratocytes, use the basement membrane of the epithelium as substratum. Keratocytes may form up to six cell layers at stage 37, but in the adult stroma they form only one or two cell layers. The keratocytes sysnthesize collagen, which aggregates as fibrils and fibers organized in lamellae. The lamellae become condensed as dense collagen layers subepithelially or become compactly organized into a feltwork structure in the rest of the stroma. The basement membrane of the endothelium is always thin. Thickness of the entire cornea increases up to stage 38 and decreases thereafter until stage 41. In the adult the cornea is again nearly as thick as at stage 38.

    Notizen: The ultrastructure of the sensilla, and other structures, within the precibaria of eight species from three subfamilies of leafhoppers (Homoptera: Cicadellidae) were examined with scanning electron microscopy. The types and grouping of the 20 precibarial sensilla in seven of these species were similar to those observed previously in Macrosteles fascifrons Stål. Oncometopia nigricans (Walker) also displayed similar sensilla groups; however, it had 30 sensilla. The species examined differed chiefly in the exact location and arrangement of the sensilla. The possible significance of the differences relative to leafhopper feeding is discussed. The precibarial chemosensilla may provide chemosensory evaluation of fluid in the food canal and precibarium prior to ingestion or egestion.

    Notizen: The morphology of neurons in the ventral basal complex (VBC) of the adult opossum (Didelphis virginiana) is described from thick coronal brain sections, using Golgi-, horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-, and Nissl-staining methods. Soma cross-sectional area, dendritic field shape, and the number of appendages (spines) in a defined major branch zone (MBZ) are quantified and statistically analyzed. Results indicate that neurons in opossum VBC have relatively large cell bodies, dendrites which branch in a tufted pattern, and numerous dendritic appendages. These neurons are designated as relay cells because of (1) their tufted dendritic branch patterns, considered characteristic of thalamic relay cells (Ramon-Moliner, '62), and (2) the similarity of their soma sizes with HRP-labeled somata after somatosensory cortical injections. Neurons with traditionally described interneuron morphology do not appear to be present in the VBC of this animal, and, in this respect, the neuronal morphology of opossum VBC is similar to that in rat (McAllister and Wells, '81).Based on statistical analysis of the structural features observed, the presumed relay cells in opossum VBC do not show significant differences in morphology, and consequently are not subdivided into classes. Opossum VBC neurons are recognized as forming a single category in which broad and continuous variations in morphology are indicated. Recognition of a singular class of relay cell is consistent with descriptions for rat and cat VBC (Scheibel and Scheibel, '66), but at variance with a previous report for the primate Galago VBC (Pearson and Haines, '80) subdividing thalamic relay cells into Types I, II, and intermediate categories.
