    Notes: A combination of the DeVoe and Kirkwood polarizability concepts is developed to calculate CD spectra of nucleic acid monomers. The method is perfectly general and applies to any system where the constituents have absorption properties which are widely separated in terms of frequency. The theory is applied to calculate the CD spectra of adenosine and 2′-deoxyadenosine conformers. Bond polarizabilities are evaluated for the ribosyl moiety of adenosine, as a function of glycosidic rotational angles and polarizability anisotropies. It is found that a wide range of C-C and C-O bond polarizabilities give similar CD results. Isotropic atom polarizabilities are also evaluated. It is found that the CD results using these polarizabilities do not differ significantly from those obtained with bond polarizabilities. The CD spectra of adenosine and 2′-deoxyadenosine are calculated for three x-ray diffraction determined geometries: A-form RNA, B-form DNA, and C-form DNA. The results indicate that the monomer CD spectra are strongly dependent on the precise geometry and appear to be of importance in understanding the spectra of oligomers and polymers. The deoxyadenosine conformers are found to have calculated CD spectra which are less intense than those of the ribosyl conformers. These results indicate that the measured differences between the CD magnitudes of ribo- and deoxyriboadenosine are due to the presence or absence of the 2′-hydroxyl. Weighted averaged adenosine CD spectra are calculated with the aid of probability distributions from conformational energy calculations. The results suggest a new method for obtaining empirical monomer parameters for use in optical calculations. The calculations in this paper indicate for the first time that DeVoe theory, in combination with the Kirkwood theory, provides a useful method for the calculation of the CD spectra of nonpolymeric molecules.

    Notes: An approximate semiempirical procedure has been developed in order to derive nucleic acid monomer π → π* electronic transition moment parameters. Using the approximate procedure, guanine (G) and cytosine (C) transition moment parameters have been derived from agreement found between calculated weight-averaged and measured CD spectra of cyclic-GMP and cyclic-CMP. The derived base transition moment parameters have been assessed in CD spectral calculations on some G- and C-containing nucleic acids for which reasonably good structural information exists. An attempt was also made at evaluating the likely CD spectral contributions of G and C electric n → π* transition moments whose magnitudes were taken to be the maximum expected. Overall, the results indicate that the derived G and C π → π* transition moment parameters are more successful in nucleic acid CD spectral calculations than those used in previous DeVoe theory CD calculations. In addition, the results indicate that electric n → π* transitions may be of importance in understanding nucleic acid monomer CD spectra but appear to be relatively unimportant in understanding nucleic acid polymer CD spectra. It is concluded that the derived G and C π → π* parameters are more useful in DeVoe theory CD calculations than parameters used previously.

    Notes: We have shown that collagen gel can be used as a culture matrix for the cloning of granulocyte/macrophage progenitor cells (CFU-C), the production of foci of marrow stromal cells and the maintenance of stem cell proliferation, differentiation and the production of CFU-C. Since collagen is a physiological matrix and allows the simultaneous growth of a variety of cellular elements, the system should prove useful for examining the role of cell/cell interactions and regulatory molecules involved in haemopoiesis.

    Notes: Previous studies have shown no detectable colony-stimulating factor (CSF) in media harvested from long-term bone marrow cultures. In the present experiments supernatants from long-term cultures established in three laboratories were assayed for CSF by colony assay and by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Most samples were devoid of biologic activity but all contained CSF as judged by RIA. Biologic activity was found in the majority of samples after diafiltration to remove low molecular weight inhibitors or 5-fold concentration by ultrafiltration. Samples that remained inactive in the colony assay were subjected to gel filtration on Sephadex G-150 to remove potential high molecular weight inhibitors. Biologic activity remained lower than that by RIA in two of three samples tested. Thus, most long-term cultures appear to contain biologically active CSF but this activity is masked by various types of inhibitors. In addition some media appear to contain material that is only detected by RIA.

    Notes: The effects of L-cell conditioned medium which contains granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factor (CSF); of highly purified L-cell CSF; and the antiserum directed against L-cell CSF, have been investigated in long-term murine bone marrow cultures. Treatment of cultures with CSF containing conditioned medium led to a rapid decline in haemopoiesis. However, this inhibition of in vitro haemopoiesis is probably caused by materials other than CSF, since the addition of highly purified L-cell CSF had no appreciable effect upon long-term haemopoietic cell proliferation or differentiation. Furthermore, the inhibitory activity of L-cell conditioned medium was not abrogated following neutralization of the CSF activity by CSF antiserum. The direct addition of CSF antiserum did not inhibit granulocyte or macrophage formation. These results suggest that long-term cultures of murine marrow cells may show extensive interactions with stromal cells which are not influenced by exogenous stimulatory or inhibitory factors.

    Notes: Three preadipocyte cell lines that have been independently derived from bone marrow stroma (Lanotte et al, 1982) have been tested for their capacity to produce granulocyte, macrophage, and erythroid colony-stimulating factors (CSFs). All elaborated colony-stimulating material that was active upon adult mouse marrow granulocyte/macrophage colony-forming cells (M-CFC) but not foetal liver GM-CFC. The major activity was characterised as a monocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), and the pattern of colony stimulation was similar to that seen after addition of highly purified L-cell CSF. Furthermore, the stimulating activity was specifically neutralised by rabbit anti-L cell CSF antibodies. No evidence was found for stimulation of multipotential or erythroid colony-forming cells, only few granulocytic colonies were detected, and the stimulating activity had no mouse strain restriction. All cell lines produced large quantities of M-CSF; however, the production was found to be modulated during the adipogenesis process. A peak in M-CSF production corresponded to the period of growth arrest after confluence of the stromal cells was reached and when adipocyte maturation was at an early stage. A marked depression in M-CSF secretion was associated with the final steps of adipocyte maturation.

    Notes: We have isolated continuously growing cell lines derived from mouse bone marrow stroma. These cell lines were independently obtained, and though they showed morphologies ranging from the epithelioid to the fibroblastoid patterns, they all differentiated into adipocytes. Subclones obtained from two cell lines had a very high frequency (90-100%) of differentiation into adipocytes after two or three weeks of arrested growth. Though extensive accumulation of lipid often mechanically impaired mitosis, the cells committed to adipocytes did not suffer an irreversible loss of proliferative capacity. Adipogenesis was obtained in conditions similar to those required for fat cell formation in long-term bone marrow culture. The cell lines were found to be insensitive to insulin as a signal of adipocyte differentiation. The ultrastructural characteristics of the preadipocytes and fat cells are also similar to those of the fat cells developing in long-term bone marrow culture. As such, these cell lines should prove useful for analysing cell/cell interactions in haemopoiesis.

    Notes: In long-term marrow cultures haemopoiesis can be maintained in vitro for up to 6 months. Critical analysis of the cell populations produced has shown that the stem cells and their committed progeny have characteristics in common with the corresponding cell types in vivo. The maintenance of haemopoiesis in vitro is associated with the development of an appropriate inductive environment provided by bone marrow derived adherent cells. Analysis of the interactions between environmental and haemopoietic cells has been facilitated by the development of in vitro systems reproducing the naturally occurring genetic environmental defects and other systems where the development of a competent inductive environment shows a dependency upon corticosteroid hormones. Investigations have shown that stem cell proliferation may be controlled by production of opposing activities, one stimulatory for DNA synthesis, the other inhibitory. A model is proposed whereby modulation in the production of these factors is determined by the physical presence of stem cells in a proposed cellular milieu, within the adherent layer. The adherent layer, apart from acting at the level of stem cell proliferation, can also modify the response of differentiating cells (eg, GM-CFC) to exogenous stimulatory activities. Addition of GM-CSF or of CSF-antiserum has no effect on haemopoiesis in long-term cultures.
