    Notes: Abstract Placenta is a transient feto-maternal association that develops during mammalian pregnancies. Human placental tissue during the first trimester of pregnancy is an actively dividing and differentiating tissue, while near term, it represents a fully differentiated unit performing many life-sustaining functions for the fetus. Previous studies have demonstrated that the percentage of placental cells that undergo apoptosis is greater at full term as compared to the first trimester of pregnancy. In this study, we undertook a study aimed at gaining an insight into the kind of genes expressed in the two developmentally distinct stages of gestation ie, the first trimester and term using Differential Display RT-PCR. Cloning and sequencing of one of the differentially expressed cDNAs from term placental tissue revealed that it is a novel gene, referred to as T-18 in the text. In this study, we also examined the regulation of this gene during apoptosis in the human placenta. A model for analysis of placental apoptosis was established by incubating placental villi in serum-free culture medium. It was observed that apoptosis occurred rapidly following incubation of placental villi without tropic support, and the proposed free-radical scavenger, superoxide dismutase (SOD) suppressed apoptosis in the placenta. Interestingly, the levels of T-18 mRNA increased significantly during spontaneous induction of apoptosis and decreased when apoptosis was blocked by SOD. These data clearly suggest that there is a strong correlation between the expression of T-18 and placental apoptosis and that T-18, may play a significant role in this process. Furthermore, the establishment of a defined in vitro explant culture model should facilitate elucidation of factors, which regulate apoptosis in human placenta.

    Ecological meltdown in predator-free forest fragments (2001)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2001-12-01
    Description: The manner in which terrestrial ecosystems are regulated is controversial. The "top-down" school holds that predators limit herbivores and thereby prevent them from overexploiting vegetation. "Bottom-up" proponents stress the role of plant chemical defenses in limiting plant depredation by herbivores. A set of predator-free islands created by a hydroelectric impoundment in Venezuela allows a test of these competing world views. Limited area restricts the fauna of small (0.25 to 0.9 hectare) islands to predators of invertebrates (birds, lizards, anurans, and spiders), seed predators (rodents), and herbivores (howler monkeys, iguanas, and leaf-cutter ants). Predators of vertebrates are absent, and densities of rodents, howler monkeys, iguanas, and leaf-cutter ants are 10 to 100 times greater than on the nearby mainland, suggesting that predators normally limit their populations. The densities of seedlings and saplings of canopy trees are severely reduced on herbivore-affected islands, providing evidence of a trophic cascade unleashed in the absence of top-down regulation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Terborgh, J -- Lopez, L -- Nunez, P -- Rao, M -- Shahabuddin, G -- Orihuela, G -- Riveros, M -- Ascanio, R -- Adler, G H -- Lambert, T D -- Balbas, L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Nov 30;294(5548):1923-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Tropical Conservation, Duke University, Box 90381, Durham, NC 27708, USA. manu@duke.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11729317" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Reversible immunocontraception in male monkeys immunized with eppin (2004)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2004-11-13
    Description: Various forms of birth control have been developed for women; however, there are currently few options for men. The development of male contraceptives that are effective, safe, and reversible is desired for family planning throughout the world. We now report contraception of male nonhuman primates (Macaca radiata) immunized with Eppin, a testis/epididymis-specific protein. Seven out of nine males (78%) developed high titers to Eppin, and all of these high-titer monkeys were infertile. Five out of seven (71%) high-anti-Eppin titer males recovered fertility when immunization was stopped. This study demonstrates that effective and reversible male immunocontraception is an attainable goal. This method of immunocontraception may be extended to humans.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉O'rand, M G -- Widgren, E E -- Sivashanmugam, P -- Richardson, R T -- Hall, S H -- French, F S -- VandeVoort, C A -- Ramachandra, S G -- Ramesh, V -- Jagannadha Rao, A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Nov 12;306(5699):1189-90.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratories for Reproductive Biology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA. morand@unc.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15539605" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Dyskeratosis congenita and cancer in mice deficient in ribosomal RNA modification (2003)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2003-01-11
    Description: Mutations in DKC1 cause dyskeratosis congenita (DC), a disease characterized by premature aging and increased tumor susceptibility. The DKC1 protein binds to the box H + ACA small nucleolar RNAs and the RNA component of telomerase. Here we show that hypomorphic Dkc1 mutant (Dkc1m) mice recapitulate in the first and second generations (G1 and G2) the clinical features of DC. Dkc1m cells from G1 and G2 mice were impaired in ribosomal RNA pseudouridylation before the onset of disease. Reductions of telomere length in Dkc1m mice became evident only in later generations. These results suggest that deregulated ribosome function is important in the initiation of DC, whereas telomere shortening may modify and/or exacerbate DC.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ruggero, Davide -- Grisendi, Silvia -- Piazza, Francesco -- Rego, Eduardo -- Mari, Francesca -- Rao, Pulivarthi H -- Cordon-Cardo, Carlos -- Pandolfi, Pier Paolo -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jan 10;299(5604):259-62.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Molecular Biology Program, Department of Pathology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Sloan-Kettering Institute, 1275 York Avenue, New York, NY 10021, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12522253" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
