    Notes: Abstract The possible function of globules and irregular membrane-bound masses in the gonadotropin cells of the pituitary of Clarias gariepinus was studied. Strong secretory stimulation led to the disappearance of the secretory granules from gonadotropin cells but globules and irregular masses remained present. Acid phosphatase was detected enzyme-cytochemically in both globules and irregular masses. Radiolabelling with tritiated amino acids followed by autoradiography demonstrated that globules received radioactive material after secretory granules. The latter received radioactive material within 75 min of administration of radioactive amino acids but globules and irregular masses did not. Although some globules became radioactively labelled within 24 h of the administration of radioactive amino acids, irregular masses remained unlabelled during this period. Secretory granules reacted positively with antisera against α and β gonadotropin subunits, whereas globules and irregular masses only reacted with the antiserum against the β subunit. A moderate anti-7B2 immunoreactivity was demonstrated in secretory granules and globules, whereas irregular masses labelled strongly. The combined cytological results indicate that globules and irregular masses are degradative, possibly crinophagic structures which develop by fusional events from secretory granules to globules and then to irregular masses.

    Notes: Abstract. The gonadotropin cells of the pituitary of Clarias gariepinus not only contain secretory granules but also globules and irregular masses. These organelles and their relationship with the endocytotic and degradative pathways were investigated. Two endocytotic tracers, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and wheat-germ agglutinin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP), were used to visualise the endocytotic-lysosomal route in the gonadotropin cells. HRP was detected in various types of endocytotic-lysosomal organelles such as endosomes, multivesicular bodies and secondary lysosomes, but not in globules and irregular masses. WGA-HRP was not only found in endosomes, multivesicular bodies and secondary lysosomes, but also in the trans-Golgi network, from where it can enter secretory granules and primary lysosomes. Moreover, 3 h after its administration, WGA-HRP, unlike HRP, was observed in globules and later also in irregular masses. WGA-HRP-labelled secretory granules were often seen closely connected with globules and irregular masses. It was concluded that the label was delivered to the globules and irregular masses by fusion with labelled secretory granules and primary lysosomes. The combined cytological results confirm the idea that globules and irregular masses develop into crinophagic structures.

    Notes: Five types of sensilla are situated on the apical area of the labial and maxillary palpi and galea of Cicidela sexguttata. Large, conical, and peg-like sensilla are in rows on the central region of each palpus. These sensilla have a hollow cuticular peg, with an apical pore and multi-innervation. This central region of palpal sensilla is surrounded by campaniform sensilla that are disc-shaped and small conical peg sensilla. A similar type of conical sensillum as the found in the palpal central region is situated around the periphery of the palpal apex and apex of the galea. This conical peg sensillum is located in a shallow depression and is structurally similar to the other peg sensilla, but it has a mechanoreceptor neuron attached to the cuticular base of the sensillum. A long, single, trichoid sensillum is situated in the center of the galea and is hollow, thick-walled, porous, and multi-innervated. The apices of the palpi and galea have a large number of dermal gland openings that actively secrete a substance during the feeding process of the tiger beetle. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Epithelial ovarian cancer is a heterogenous disease. Epidemiologic studies have identified risk factors for this disease including advanced age, nulliparity, history of infertility, early age at menarche, late age at menopause, and perhaps ovulation induction. Cohort selection that includes women who have potential precursor lesions and alterations of select biomarkers may prove useful in the design of chemoprevention trials of epithelial ovarian cancer. Nuclear morphometry, specific genetic alterations, and markers of proliferation and differentiation may be useful biomarker to monitor the efficacy of specific interventions.

    Notes: Women at risk of uterine cancer include those with one or more of the following characteristics: obesity, nulliparity, late menopause, diabetes mellitus, prolonged unopposed estrogen use, and tamoxifen therapy. Risk is additionally increased by the presence of endometrial hyperplasia. The incorporation of biomarkers into the selection criteria of cohort groups at risk for developing endometrial cancer offers an innovative approach to the clinical design of chemoprevention trials of endometrial adenocarcinoma. Biomarkers that may be useful in cohort selection include nuclear morphometry, specific genetic abnormalities, and markers of proliferation and differentiation.

    Notes: 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases regulate glucocorticoid concentrations and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases regulate estrogen and androgen concentrations in mammals. Phylogenetic analysis of the sequences from two 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases and four mammalian 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases indicates unusual evolution in these enzymes. Type 1 11β- and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases are on the same branch; Type 2 enzymes cluster on another branch with β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, 11-cis retinol dehydrogenase and retinol dehydrogenase; Type 3 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase is on a third branch; while the pig dehydrogenase clusters with a yeast multifunctional enzyme on a fourth branch. Pig 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase appears to have evolved independently from the other three 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase dehydrogenases; in which case, the evolution of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity is an example of functional convergence. The phylogeny also suggests that independent evolution of specificity toward C11 substituents on glucocorticoids and C17 substituents on androgens and estrogens has occurred in Types 1 and 2 11β- and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases.

    Description: TRAIL (also called Apo2L) belongs to the tumor necrosis factor family, activates rapid apoptosis in tumor cells, and binds to the death-signaling receptor DR4. Two additional TRAIL receptors were identified. The receptor designated death receptor 5 (DR5) contained a cytoplasmic death domain and induced apoptosis much like DR4. The receptor designated decoy receptor 1 (DcR1) displayed properties of a glycophospholipid-anchored cell surface protein. DcR1 acted as a decoy receptor that inhibited TRAIL signaling. Thus, a cell surface mechanism exists for the regulation of cellular responsiveness to pro-apoptotic stimuli.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sheridan, J P -- Marsters, S A -- Pitti, R M -- Gurney, A -- Skubatch, M -- Baldwin, D -- Ramakrishnan, L -- Gray, C L -- Baker, K -- Wood, W I -- Goddard, A D -- Godowski, P -- Ashkenazi, A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Aug 8;277(5327):818-21.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Oncology, Genentech, South San Francisco, CA 94080-4918, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9242611" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Ubiquitin is a highly conserved polypeptide found in all eukaryotes. The major function of ubiquitin is to target proteins for complete or partial degradation by a multisubunit protein complex called the proteasome. Here, the Drosophila fat facets gene, which is required for the appropriate determination of particular cells in the fly eye, was shown to encode a ubiquitin-specific protease (Ubp), an enzyme that cleaves ubiquitin from ubiquitin-protein conjugates. The Fat facets protein (FAF) acts as a regulatory Ubp that prevents degradation of its substrate by the proteasome. Flies bearing fat facets gene mutations were used to show that a Ubp is cell type--and substrate-specific and a regulator of cell fate decisions in a multicellular organism.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Huang, Y -- Baker, R T -- Fischer-Vize, J A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1995 Dec 15;270(5243):1828-31.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Zoology, University of Texas, Austin 78712, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8525378" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Plant breeders have used disease resistance genes (R genes) to control plant disease since the turn of the century. Molecular cloning of R genes that enable plants to resist a diverse range of pathogens has revealed that the proteins encoded by these genes have several features in common. These findings suggest that plants may have evolved common signal transduction mechanisms for the expression of resistance to a wide range of unrelated pathogens. Characterization of the molecular signals involved in pathogen recognition and of the molecular events that specify the expression of resistance may lead to novel strategies for plant disease control.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Staskawicz, B J -- Ausubel, F M -- Baker, B J -- Ellis, J G -- Jones, J D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1995 May 5;268(5211):661-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Plant Biology, University of California, Berkeley 94720, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7732374" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
