    Notes: The effects of sulfated glycoconjugates on the preparation of mammalian sperm for fertilization were investigated. The three sulfated glycoconjugates tested were heparin, dextran sulfate, and the fucose sulfate glycoconjugate (FSG) from the sea urchin egg jelly coat. In vivo, FSG induces the acrosome reaction in sea urchin sperm. Bovine sperm were found to be capacitated by heparin and FSG as judged both by ability of lysophosphatidylcholine (LC) to induce an acrosome reaction and by ability to fertilize bovine oocytes in vitro. The mechanism by which heparin or FSG capacitated bovine sperm appeared similar, since glucose inhibited capacitation by both glycoconjugates. In contrast to effects on bovine sperm, heparin and FSG induced the acrosome reaction in capacitated hamster sperm. When hamster sperm were incubated under noncapacitating conditions, heparin had no effect on capacitation or the acrosome reaction. Three molecular weights (MW) of dextran sulfate (5,000, 8,000, 500,000) were found to capacitate bovine sperm as judged by the ability of LC to induce an acrosome reaction. Whereas bovine sperm incubated with 5,000 or 8,000 M W dextran sulfate fertilized more bovine oocytes than control sperm (P 〈0.05), sperm treated with 500,000 M W dextran sulfate failed to penetrate oocytes. The high-MW dextran sulfate appeared to interact with the zona pellucida and/or sperm to prevent sperm binding. Results suggest that sulfated glycoconjugates may prepare sperm for fertilization across a wide range of species.

    Ozone precursors and ozone photochemistry over eastern North Pacific during the spring of 1984 based on the NASA GTE/CITE 1 airborne observations (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: Simultaneous high-resolution measurements of O3, NO, CO, dew point temperature, and UV flux obtained during the NASA Global Tropospheric Experiment Chemical Instrumentation Test and Evaluation (GTE/CITE 1) spring 1984 airborne field exercise over the eastern North Pacific Ocean are analyzed. Mid-tropospheric CO, O3, and NO mixing ratios averaged about 120 parts per billion by volume (ppbv), 50 ppbv, and 10 parts per trillion by volume (pptv), respectively. Statistical analysis of the high-resolution data indicates the existence of two ozone sources, one related to the downward transport of ozone-rich air from the upper troposphere and stratosphere, and the other to the transport of ozone-rich air from the continents. Modeling calculations based on these average levels imply that, from the surface to about 8 km, photochemical reactions probably supplied a net sink of ozone to the region overlying the eastern North Pacific Ocean during the sampling period. However, because the NO levels measured during the flights were frequently at or near the detection limit of the instruments and because the results are very sensitive to the absolute NO levels and their temporal variability, the conclusion must be considered provisional.

    ARCS 3 ionospheric artificial argon ion beam injections - Waves near the heavy ion gyrofrequencies (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: Low-frequency electric field data below the proton gyrofrequency are presented for the duration of the argon ion beam experiment conducted as part of the Argon Release for Controlled Studies (ARCS) program. An argon ion beam was injected from the subpayload antiparallel or perpendicular to the magnetic field at altitudes from 250 to 405 km. During the injections, the wave spectra were broadband near the subpayload and narrow-band near heavy ion gyrofrequencies at perpendicular separation distances between 42 and 254 m. It is suggested that the narrow-band waves are associated with both the perpendicular argon ion beam and an unexpected flux of low-energy ions which peaked in energy near 15 eV and pitch angle near 90 deg with respect to the magnetic field.

    Ontogeny of gut morphology in the white shrimp Penaeus setiferus (Decapoda, Penaeidae) (1989)

    Notes: Ontogeny of the gut in Penaeus setiferus was investigated by reconstruction of serial sections examined by light microscopy. Development of the gut into the adult form is protracted over several weeks beyond metamorphosis in steps that may be directly related to the unique postlarval life history of Penaeus. The gastric mill is lacking in larval stages of P. setiferus. In protozoeal stages Z1-Z3, the pyloric ampullae are blind sacs that do not communicate with the midgut. The gland filter first appears in mysis stage M2. The gastric mill in early postlarval (PL) stages consists of poorly chitinized lobes with flexible setae. By PL21 the ossicles of the gastric mill are rigid and setae are replaced by spine-like denticles, but even by PL35 the gastric mill is neither as massive nor heavily chitinized as in adults. During the mysis stages and early PL stages, the hepatopancreas communicates freely with both the foregut and the midgut trunk. By PL35 the hepatopancreatic ducts are essentially isolated from the remainder of the midgut by foregut ossicles.The midgut in Z1 consists of two pairs of simple caeca and the midgut trunk. During larval growth, each of the lateral midgut caeca develops into a number of lobes. After metamorphosis these lobes begin to ramify into small-diameter tubules, and by PL35 have completely ramified into the hepatopancreas of adults. From M1 to PL4, the anterior midgut caeca decrease in absolute size and become a single anterior diverticulum. The posterior midgut diverticulum first appears in PL21 as a simple sac and thereafter increases in size and complexity.

    Modulation of TGF-β type 1 receptor: Flow cytometric detection with biotinylated TGF-β (1989)

    Notes: Transforming growth factor β- type 1 (TGF-β) was reacted with NHS-biotin to yield a derivative of TGF-β1 which was biotinylated on lysine residues. The biotinylated form of TGF-β1 was separated from the unreacted material by reverse phase chromatography. In three separate bioassays, the derivatized peptide was as active as the starting material. The use of FITC-avidin in conjunction with flow cytometry demonstrated that the binding of biotinylated TGF-β to its receptor is saturable, competable, and specific. A 100-fold molar excess of unde-rivatized TGF-β1 gave 85% inhibition of binding of the biotinylated peptide to the mink lung cell line CCL-64, while TGF-β2 showed no inhibition of binding, nor did insulin, calcitonin, or TGF-α. Both CCL-64 cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells showed a density-dependent down-regulation of receptor expression in culture. Several factors were examined that might mediate this effect. The down-regulation was shown not to be due to the secretion of an active form of TGF-β1. The extracellular matrix from high-density cells did not decrease expression of the receptor. Fibronectin, collagen, and gelatin were also unable to signal changes in receptor expression, even though in other systems such matrix components can regulate the responsiveness of cells to TGF-β1. Lastly, staining simultaneously for DNA content and TGF-β1receptor expression showed that there was no correlation between cell cycle and receptor levels.

    Coordination of keratinocyte programming in human SCC-13 squamous carcinoma and normal epidermal cells (1989)

    Notes: Exploiting the sensitivity of neoplastic keratinocytes to physiological effectors, this work analyzes the degree of coordination among differentiation markers in the established human epidermal squamous carcinoma cell line SCC-13 in comparison to normal human epidermal cells. This analysis showed that overall keratin content was modulated substantially and in parallel with particulate transglutaminase activity in response to variation of calcium, retinoic acid, and hydrocortisone concentrations in the medium. The changes in keratin expression were evident primarily in the striking stimulation by hydrocortisone or calcium and the virtual suppression by retinoic acid of species in the 56-58 kd region, which have not previously been reported subject to such physiological modulation. In contrast, involucrin levels were coordinated only to a limited degree with particulate transglutaminase activity and keratin content. The very low involucrin levels observed in low calcium medium were increased 5- to 10-fold in high calcium medium. However, they were also increased 5- to 30-fold in low calcium medium by retinoic acid, a clear example of uncoupling. Activities of the tissue transglutaminase were altered considerably by the various culture conditions but were not obviously coordinated to keratinocyte markers. In normal epidermal cells, the suppressive effect of retinoic acid was much more evident with particulate transglutaminase than involucrin levels. While calcium had a large stimulatory effect on both markers, hydrocortisone had little or no influence. These results emphasize the potential importance of quantitative analysis of differentiation markers for resolving the contribution of physiological elements in coordination of cellular programming.

    Regulation of cerebroside sulfotransferase activity in cultured oligodendrocytes: Effect of growth factors and insulin (1989)

    Notes: Cerebroside sulfotransferase (EC 2.8.2.11, CST) specific activity has been determined in oligodendrocyte (OL)-enriched glial cell cultures from newborn rat brain grown in serum supplemented medium. This activity is detectable at 5 days in vitro (DIV) and reaches its maximum value at 12 DIV. This period corresponds to that of oligodendrocyte precursor proliferation in these cultures. The activity decreases thereafter and remains nearly constant after 24 DIV. The developmental curve of CST activity is parallel in pure oligodendrocyte subcultures but twice higher than in primary cultures. These data confirm that CST is highly enriched in OL. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) (15 ng/ml) and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) (0.75 U/ml) both enhance CST activity by 90% and 72%, respectively. This increase is in the same range than that of DNA content in treated cultures, whereas protein increase is smaller (50% and 22%, respectively). In contrast, transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1, 0.5 and 5 ng/ml) does not significantly enhance CST activity nor DNA content of OL cultures. Insulin at high concentrations (5 μg/ml) also enhances CST activity but has no effect at physiological concentrations (20 ng/ml). These results show that CST activity can be controlled by growth factors. They suggest that CST activity is more closely related to OL and OL precursor proliferation than to myelination itself since its maximal activity preceeds myelination in vitro.
