    Notes: Further spectroscopic studies of gallstones are reviewed with an emphasis on the formation of black pigment gallstones. This type of gallstone appears mainly in Western countries, with only 3% of the cholelithiasis patients in China having black gallstones. Fourier transform infrared absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance are used as spectroscopic probes of gallstones and their metal bilirubinate components. Nonlinear phenomena in gallstone formation were investigated through the appearance of ring structure in gallstones and fractal patterns in the formation in the precipitates of bile salt systems. Although a complete understanding of gallstone formation has not yet been achieved, interesting progress toward this goal has been made recently. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Spectroscopic studies of various types of gallstones carried out in China are reviewed. Three basic classes of gallstones are surveyed: cholesterol stones, brown pigment stones, and black pigment stones. The emphasis of this review is on brown gallstones. The primary spectroscopic methods used in the studies surveyed are Fourier transform infrared absorption and Fourier transform Raman scattering. Chemical components studied in gallstones include cholesterol, bile pigments, glycoproteins, proteins, bilirubin metal complexes, and salts of calcium and other metals. Further studies are needed characterize the relationship of these components to more complex features of gallstones. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biospectroscopy 3: 371-380, 1997

    Notes: In an hypothesis-generating case-control study of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, lifetime occupational histories were obtained. The patients (n = 28) were clinic based. The occupational exposure of interest in this report is electromagnetic fields (EMFs). This is the first and so far the only exposure analyzed in this study. Occupational exposure up to 2 years prior to estimated disease symptom onset was used for construction of exposure indices for cases. Controls (n = 32) were blood and nonblood relatives of cases. Occupational exposure for controls was through the same age as exposure for the corresponding cases. Twenty (71%) cases and 28 (88%) controls had at least 20 years of work experience covering the exposure period. The occupational history and task data were used to classify blindly each occupation for each subject as having high, medium/high, medium, medium/low, or low EMF exposure, based primarily on data from an earlier and unrelated study designed to obtain occupational EMF exposure information on workers in “electrical” and “nonelectrical” jobs. By using the length of time each subject spent in each occupation through the exposure period, two indices of exposure were constructed: total occupational exposure (E1) and average occupational exposure (E2). For cases and controls with at least 20 years of work experience, the odds ratio (OR) for exposure at the 75th percentile of the E1 case exposure data relative to minimum exposure was 7.5 (P 〈 0.02; 95% Cl, 1.4-38.1) and the corresponding OR for E2 was 5.5 (P 〈 0.02; 95% CI, 1.3-22.5). For all cases and controls, the ORs were 2.5 (P 〈 0.1; 95% CI, 0.9-8.1) for E1 and 2.3 (P = 0.12; 95% CI, 0.8-6.6) for E2. This study should be considered an hypothesis-generating study. Larger studies, using incident cases and improved exposure assessment, should be undertaken. Bioelectromagnetics 18:28-35, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Induction of matrix maturation and mineralization in calcified tissues is important for patients with primary bone tumors and other bone deficiencies, e.g., osteoporosis. For the former it signifies a better prognosis in osteosarcoma, and for the latter it might improve bone remodeling. In the present study we exposed osteosarcoma cells (Saos2), normal bone cells, and marrow stroma to two different tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitors: AG-555 and AG-1478. These tyrphostins differ in their effect on signal transduction downstream to the TK receptor (RTK): AG-1478 inhibits src family TKs whereas AG-555 inhibits nuclear TKs. We found that both tyrphostins at 50 μM increased specific alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in Saos2 cells. AG-555 abrogated mineralization whereas AG-1478 increased it. Similarly, in human bone-derived cell cultures the same dose of tyrphostins had an opposing effect on mineralization but, in contrast to AG-555, AG-1478 positively selected cells with ALP activity. These tyrphostins also differed in their effect on rat marrow stromal cells. AG-555 decreased cell counts unselectively, whereas the decreased cell counts by AG-1478 resulted in selection of osteoprogenitor cells as indicated by a concordant increase in specific ALP activity. The effect of a lower dose of AG-1478, 5 μM, on the increase in mineralization exceeded its own efficiency in selecting cells with specific ALP activity. Our results indicate that AG-1478 selects and preserves the osteoblastic phenotype, at doses moderately higher than those required to induce mineralization, and substantially higher than the doses required for RTK inhibition. Identification of downstream molecular targets for AG-1478, in marrow stromal cells, might prove useful in designing more selective drugs, capable of separating proliferative from differentiation-inducing activities.

    Notes: 1,25-(OH)2D3 and 24,25-(OH)2D3 mediate their effects on chondrocytes through the classic vitamin D receptor (VDR) as well as through rapid membrane-mediated mechanisms which result in both nongenomic and genomic effects. In intact cells, it is difficult to distinguish between genomic responses via the VDR and genomic and nongenomic responses via membrane-mediated pathways. In this study, we used two hybrid analogues of 1,25-(OH)2D3 which have been modified on the A-ring and C,D-ring side chain (1α-(hydroxymethyl)-3β-hydroxy-20-epi-22-oxa-26,27-dihomo vitamin D3 (analogue MCW-YA = 3a) and 1β-(hydroxymethyl)-3α-hydroxy-20-epi-22-oxa-26,27-dihomo vitamin D3 (analogue MCW-YB = 3b) to examine the role of the VDR in response of rat costochondral resting zone (RC) and growth zone (GC) chondrocytes to 1,25-(OH)2D3 and 24,25-(OH)2D3. These hybrid analogues are only 0.1% as effective in binding to the VDR from calf thymus as 1,25-(OH)2D3. Chondrocyte proliferation ([3H]-thymidine incorporation), proteoglycan production ([35S]-sulfate incorporation), and activity of protein kinase C (PKC) were measured after treatment with 1,25-(OH)2D3, 24,25-(OH)2D3, or the analogues. Both analogues inhibited proliferation of both cell types, as did 1,25-(OH)2D3 and 24,25-(OH)2D3. Analogue 3a had no effect on proteoglycan production by GCs but increased that by RCs. Analogue 3b increased proteoglycan production in both GC and RC cultures. Both analogues stimulated PKC in GC cells; however, neither 3a nor 3b had an effect on PKC activity in RC cells. 1,25-(OH)2D3 and 3a decreased PKC in matrix vesicles from GC cultures, whereas plasma membrane PKC activity was increased, with 1,25-(OH)2D3 having a greater effect. 24,25-(OH)2D3 caused a significant decrease in PKC activity in matrix vesicles from RC cultures; 24,25-(OH)2D3, 3a, and 3b increased PKC activity in the plasma membrane fraction, however. Thus, with little or no binding to calf thymus VDR, 3a and 3b can affect cell proliferation, proteoglycan production, and PKC activity. The direct membrane effect is analogue-specific and cell maturation-dependent. By studying analogues with greatly reduced affinity for the VDR, we have provided further evidence for the existence of a membrane receptor(s) involved in mediating nongenomic effects of vitamin D metabolites.

    Isolation of osteogenic growth peptide from osteoblastic MC3T3 E1 cell cultures and demonstration of osteogenic growth peptide binding proteins (1997)

    Notes: The osteogenic growth peptide (OGP) was recently characterized in regenerating bone marrow. In experimental animals it increases osteogenesis and hemopoiesis. In stromal cell cultures OGP stimulates proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity, and matrix mineralization. OGP in high abundance is present in normal human and animal serum mainly complexed to OGP binding protein (OGPBP) or proteins. Here we show the presence of two OGPBPs, OGPBP-1, and OGPBP-2, in cultures of osteoblastic MC3T3 E1 cells. Immunoreactive OGP (irOGP) also accumulates in the medium of these cultures and in cultures of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. A large amount of irOGP was released by heat inactivation of OGPBP-2 and purified by ultrafiltration and hydrophobic HPLC. The purified irOGP was identical to OGP obtained previously from rat regenerating bone marrow and human serum in terms of its amino acid sequence, immunoreactivity, and mitogenicity. Osteoblastic and fibroblastic cell proliferation can be arrested by anti-OGP antibodies and rescued by exogenous OGP, indicating that in the absence of serum or other exogenous growth stimulators the endogenously produced OGP is both necessary and sufficient for baseline proliferation. The OGP production is up- and down-regulated, respectively, by low and high doses and exogenous OGP in a manner consistent with an autoregulated feedback mechanism. The most effective OGP dose in MC3T3 E1 cells is at least two orders of magnitude lower than that in non-osteoblastic cell systems. This differential sensitivity of the osteoblastic cells could result in a preferential anabolic effect of OGP in bone. J. Cell. Biochem. 65:359-367. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Periodic and chaotic precipitation phenomena in bile salt system related to gallstone formation (1997)

    Notes: This is the first observation that both chaotic and periodic patterns are formed in metal ions-deoxycholate-gel systems. It is an in vitro model for approximating the conditions present during gallstone formation. The experimental results suggest that a nonlinear scientific concept such as the “butterfly effect” should be considered in understanding gallstone formation. This effect suggests that a butterfly flapping its wings in Beijing today may lead to a thunderstorm in New York months later. Applying this concept to biology, minor changes in the local chemical environment within biological systems may lead to large variations in the structure and morphology of gallstone through changes in the behavior of biological mineralization process. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Requirement of the DEAD-Box protein ded1p for messenger RNA translation (1997)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1997-03-07
    Description: The DED1 gene, which encodes a putative RNA helicase, has been implicated in nuclear pre-messenger RNA splicing in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is shown here by genetic and biochemical analysis that translation, rather than splicing, is severely impaired in two newly isolated ded1 conditional mutants. Preliminary evidence suggests that the protein Ded1p may be required for the initiation step of translation, as is the distinct DEAD-box protein, eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF4A). The DED1 gene could be functionally replaced by a mouse homolog, PL10, which suggests that the function of Ded1p in translation is evolutionarily conserved.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chuang, R Y -- Weaver, P L -- Liu, Z -- Chang, T H -- GM48752/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Mar 7;275(5305):1468-71.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology Program, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9045610" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    In situ activation pattern of Drosophila EGF receptor pathway during development (1997)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1997-08-22
    Description: Signaling cascades triggered by receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) participate in diverse developmental processes. The active state of these signaling pathways was monitored by examination of the in situ distribution of the active, dual phosphorylated form of mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK) with a specific monoclonal antibody. Detection of the active state of the Drosophila epidermal growth factor receptor (DER) pathway allowed the visualization of gradients and boundaries of receptor activation, assessment of the distribution of activating ligands, and analysis of interplay with the inhibitory ligand Argos. This in situ approach can be used to monitor other receptor-triggered pathways in a wide range of organisms.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gabay, L -- Seger, R -- Shilo, B Z -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Aug 22;277(5329):1103-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Genetics, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot 76100, Israel.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9262480" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Positional cloning of the gene for multiple endocrine neoplasia-type 1 (1997)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1997-04-18
    Description: Multiple endocrine neoplasia-type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant familial cancer syndrome characterized by tumors in parathyroids, enteropancreatic endocrine tissues, and the anterior pituitary. DNA sequencing from a previously identified minimal interval on chromosome 11q13 identified several candidate genes, one of which contained 12 different frameshift, nonsense, missense, and in-frame deletion mutations in 14 probands from 15 families. The MEN1 gene contains 10 exons and encodes a ubiquitously expressed 2.8-kilobase transcript. The predicted 610-amino acid protein product, termed menin, exhibits no apparent similarities to any previously known proteins. The identification of MEN1 will enable improved understanding of the mechanism of endocrine tumorigenesis and should facilitate early diagnosis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chandrasekharappa, S C -- Guru, S C -- Manickam, P -- Olufemi, S E -- Collins, F S -- Emmert-Buck, M R -- Debelenko, L V -- Zhuang, Z -- Lubensky, I A -- Liotta, L A -- Crabtree, J S -- Wang, Y -- Roe, B A -- Weisemann, J -- Boguski, M S -- Agarwal, S K -- Kester, M B -- Kim, Y S -- Heppner, C -- Dong, Q -- Spiegel, A M -- Burns, A L -- Marx, S J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Apr 18;276(5311):404-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Gene Transfer, National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, MD 20892, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9103196" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
