    Notes: The morphological and ultrastructural changes that occur during preparation of porcine, bovine, and murine spermatozoa for flow cytometric quantification of the relative DNA content of the X- and Y-chromosome-bearing sperm populations were examined. Ejaculated spermatozoa from the boar and bull were washed using a series of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions prior to fixation, whereas the epididymal mouse spermatozoa were washed only in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Spermatozoa from all three species were then fixed in ethanol and processed for fluorochrome staining by a treatment regimen consisting of sulfhydryl reduction and proteolysis. The processed sperm nuclei were stained for DNA with the fluorochrome, 4′-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) before quantification by flow cytometry. Scanning and transmission electron micrographs of sperm heads taken at various steps of the preparation and staining procedures show 1) that the rigorous washing procedure disrupted the plasma and outer acrosomal membranes, 2) that ethanol fixation resulted in removal of the outer membranes and disintegration of the nuclear envelope, and 3) that thiol and proteolysis treatment removed the remaining cellular organelles including the tail and rapidly induced partial decondensation of the tightly packed chromatin. Sequential micrographs showed that the nuclear matrix of all three species increased in thickness about twofold during the preparation and staining. Consequently, the harsh procedures currently used for quantitative staining of DNA for high-resolution flow cytometric analyses destroy most cellular organelles and thereby prevent simultaneous characterization of DNA content and other sperm cell constituents.

    Interferon-beta-related DNA is dispersed in the human genome (1984)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1984-03-23
    Description: Interferon-beta 1 (IFN-beta 1) complementary DNA was used as a hybridization probe to isolate human genomic DNA clones lambda B3 and lambda B4 from a human genomic DNA library. Blot-hybridization procedures and partial nucleotide sequencing revealed that lambda B3 is related to IFN-beta 1 (and more distantly to IFN-alpha 1). Analyses of DNA obtained from a panel of human-rodent somatic cell hybrids that were probed with DNA derived from lambda B3 showed that lambda B3 is on human chromosome 2. Similar experiments indicated that lambda B4 is not on human chromosomes 2, 5, or 9. The finding that DNA related to the IFN-beta 1 gene (and IFN-alpha 1 gene) is dispersed in the human genome raises new questions about the origins of the interferon genes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sagar, A D -- Sehgal, P B -- May, L T -- Inouye, M -- Slate, D L -- Shulman, L -- Ruddle, F H -- AI-16262/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Mar 23;223(4642):1312-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6546621" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Molecular Clouds Within 100 Pc (1984)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-09-16
    Description: Observations at the 2.6 mm line of CO reveal the presence of a large number of molecular clouds at high galactic latitude. If the velocity dispersion of the clouds is a measure of their scale height, the mean distance of the ensemble detected is 100 pc. The clouds are unusual in that either they are not gravitationally bound or they are very deficient in CO relative to molecular hydrogen. These clouds represent a heretofore unrecognized component of the local interstellar medium. If they are pervasive in the Milky Way, they probably represent the small molecular cloud component of the interstellar medium.

    Intercellular bridges in ovaries of the newborn gerbil (1984)

    Notes: This study describes intercellular bridges in the ovaries of neonatal gerbils. Electron microscopy has revealed the presence of true intercellular bridges, connecting oogonia or oocytes, in ovaries of newborn gerbils. The cytoplasm of the intercellular channels is similar to that of the connected cells, with mitochondria, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, and free ribosomes present. Lysosomes are also occasionally present in the intercellular bridges and they may be involved in early waves of oocyte atresia. An electrondense substance, 350-500 Å thick, is located immediately beneath the unit membrane of the intercellular bridges. Accumulation of electron-dense material increases the thickness of the walls of the intercellular bridges, supporting and maintaining the patency of the channels. It is suggested that the intercellular channels probably allow the interchange of nutrients, organelles, and possibly regulatory materials as well.

    Dependence of HL-60 myeloid cell differentiation on continuous and split retinoic acid exposures: Precommitment memory associated with altered nuclear structure (1984)
    New York, NY [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: The cell differentiation of HL-60 human leukemic promyelocytes along the myeloid pathway due to various continuous and distributed exposures to retinoic acid was studied. HL-60 myeloid differentiation was a continuously driven process; significant terminal cell differentiation occurred only after a minimum exposure to inducer of two division cycles. Cells so committed to differentiation retained a heritable, finite memory of differentiation commitment over a further division cycle. Prior to becoming committed, cells acquired precommitment memory of exposure to inducer. Precommitment memory abbreviated the subsequent exposure to inducer needed for commitment to differentiation. Precommitment memory was semistable. It was heritable, but was lost after four division cycles. The acquisition and loss of precommitment memory correlated with alterations in nuclear architecture detected by narrow angle light scatter using flow cytometry. The altered nuclear architecture first occurred before any overt cell differentiation or growth arrest. It was thus an early event in the induced program of terminal cell differentiation. Alterations in relative abundances of cytoplasmic proteins also occurred prior to overt cell differentiation or growth arrest. One of these was a 17 kdalton, anionic, probably Ca2+ binding, protein. Retinoic acid thus induced early cellular changes, including cytoplasmic and nuclear alterations, within one cell cycle when cell differentiation was not yet apparent.

    Characterization and partial purification of keratinocyte growth factor from the hypothalamus (1984)

    Notes: An extract of bovine hypothalamus is known to be mitogenic for human keratinocytes in vitro. In order to identify the'responsible substance(s), biochemical characterization and subsequent bioassay of the extract in a serum-free culture system were performed. The keratinocyte growth-promoting activity of the hypothalamic extract was unaffected by heating (100 C, 10 min); acidification to pH 3.3; or by exposure to lipase, RNAase, or proteolytic enzymes; but was abolished by alkalinization to pH 11. An approximate molecular weight of 1,700 daltons was determined by elution on a calibrated Sephadex G-25 column, and an approximate pI of 3.5 was determined by isoelectric focusing. Optimal concentrations of the crude extract (150-300 μg/ ml) increased keratinocyte growth approximately 50-fold compared to control cultures lacking the extract. Partial purification resulted in a preparation biologically active at 30 ng/ml protein equivalent and was consistent with the presence of a single mitogen which we have termed keratinocyte growth factor (KGF). Mitogenic activity for human melanocytes, dermal fibroblasts, and endothelial cells, present in the crude hypothalamic extract, was lacking in heat-treated preparations that contained KGF. Optimal concentrations of purified epidermal growth factor and ethanolamine, the only remotely similar substances previously reported to augment keratinocyte growth in vitro, could not substitute for KGF in the serum-free culture system. Keratinocyte growth-promoting activity comparable to that observed in bovine hypothalamic extracts was present in human hypothalamic extracts prepared in the same manner.

    Notes: Cholesterogenesis pathway during pre- and postnatal development was studied in isolated rat hepatocytes. No modified activity of cytosol acetoacetyl coenzyme A (CoA), thiolase, or 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA (HMGCoA) synthase was detectable at the different stages examined. Minimal levels of 114C-acetate incorporation into cholesterol and HMGCoA reductase activity were present at 16 days of fetal development in newborn and suckling rats, whereas both parameters increased rapidly before birth. The pattern of NaF nonsuppressible reductase activity showed a different activation state of the enzyme, suggesting the appearance of a modulation state, probably related to the development of some short-term regulatory mechanisms.

    Notes: An electron-microscope study of spermiogenesis and the ultrastructure of mature sperm was made on Eurygaster integriceps. During spermiogenesis, a manchette consisting of two large groups of microtubules and an unusual centriolar adjunct are formed. The latter looks like two half cylinders located almost at right angles to one another. Its wall consists of several dark layers divided by lighter areas. The centriole and its adjunct are not identified in the mature sperm. Bug spermatids have a large amount of amorphous pericentriolar matter, which assists in establishing an unusual nuclear pattern.The mature sperm is distinguished by a number of unique features. Its nucleus consists of three interconnected parts: the inner and outer cylinders and a part freely suspended along the middle piece. The intranuclear channel is blindly closed at the apical end and filled with dark amorphous matter that originates from the pericentriolar matter. The acrosome has an extracellular part resembling a diagonally striated rod, which is sometimes disengaged from its surface. The axoneme has 9+9(2) + 2 tubules. It is connected with the Nebenkern by dark arms.

    Notes: A high coefficient of variation is characteristic of the bioelectric potentials recorded from living long bones. As a consequence, the data collected from animal and human experiments are difficult to use in practical ways. A distribution curve for bone bioelectric potentials has been calculated using polynomial regression analysis to process the voltage values recorded on the whole length of rabbit tibiae, with reference electrodes positioned in three different points of the bone. The distribution curve so obtained is presented to fulfill the need for a reference curve for the bioelectric potentials recorded from rabbit tibial surfaces.

    Notes: A series of three experiments was performed to determine the effects of 30-day exposures to uniform 60-Hz electric fields (100 kV/m) on reproduction and on growth and development in the fetuses and offspring of rats. In the first experiment, exposure of females for 6 days prior to and during the mating period did not affect their reproductive performance, and continued exposure through 20 days of gestation (dg) did not affect the viability, size, or morphology of their fetuses. In the second experiment, exposure of the pregnant rat was begun on 0 dg and continued until the resulting offspring reached 8 days of age. In the third experiment, exposure began at 17 dg and continued through 25 days of postnatal life. In the second and third experiments, no statistically significant differences suggesting impairment of the growth or survival of exposed offspring were detected. In the second experiment, a significantly greater percentage of the exposed offspring showed movement, standing, and grooming at 14 days of age than among-sham-exposed offspring. There was a significant decrease at 14 days in the percentage of exposed offspring displaying the righting reflex in the second experiment and negative geotropism in the third experiment. These differences were all transient and were not found when the animals were tested again at 21 days of age. Evaluation of the reproductive integrity of the offspring of the second experiment did not disclose any deficits.
