    Notes: The pulmonary veins of albino Wistar rats were studied by means of light and electron microscopy. The media of larger veins consists of cardiac muscle fibers which extend until the vessels attain about 100 μ in diameter. This coat consists of external longitudinal fibers and internal circular fibers. The vasa vasorum are well developed and the capillaries show pseudofenestrations. The numerous adrenergic and cholinergic nerve endings do not form typical motor end-plates as seen in skeletal muscles. The ultrastructure of these media muscle fibers is similar to that of rat hearts. The smooth muscle layer of larger pulmonary veins is not continuous as it is in smaller veins where it forms cushions. Comparisons of albino rats and other rodents reveal striking differences.Action potential shape and propagation velocity (0.5-1.2 m/s) along the myocardial coat of the pulmonary vein were similar to those observed in the left atrium and so was their sensitivity to locally applied acetylcholine. The physiological direction of propagation in rat pulmonary veins is toward the lung. This finding lends support to the hypothesis of a rhythmic, valve-like action of the striated musculature of the pulmonary venous wall during the systole and a possible role in the capacitance of the pulmonary circulation.

    The effect of temperature on nucleotide pool formation in Tetrahymena pyriformis (1973)

    Notes: Warming of exponentially growing T. pyriformis to 34°C results in severe inhibition of nucleotide pool formation. The utilization of the pool for stable RNA synthesis is poorly affected at the high temperature. It thus appears that the synthesis and processing of ribosomal RNA precursors are not primarily impaired at 34°C.

    Osmoregulatory-like mitochondria-rich cells in the developing pancreatic ducts of young anuran tadpoles (1993)

    Notes: Pancreatic ducts of young posthatching Rana temporaria tadpoles are the main component of the developing pancreas. At this stage (free-swimming tadpoles with internal gills), duct cells display a high degree of development of basal and lateral outfoldings of the cell membrane with extensive interdigitation, and numerous mitochondria are present throughout the cytoplasm. Wide intercellular spaces also exist, sometimes forming canaliculi-like structures. Since these traits are characteristic of cells engaged in osmotic regulation, we suggest the possibility that this temporary duct system participates in such control. Duct cells in tadpoles with well-developed hindlegs have diminished interdigitation, and mitochondria are localized apically. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Schwann cells (SC), the myelinating cells of the peripheral nervous system, show a remarkable capacity to switch from a differentiated state to a proliferative state both during development and peripheral nerve regeneration. In order to better understand the regulatory mechanisms involved with this change we are studying a Schwann cell line transfected with the SV-40 large T gene (TSC). Serum-free medium combined with elevating intra-cellular cAMP levels produced a slower proliferating TSC whose morphology changed from pleiomorphic to process bearing, reminiscent of primary SC in culture. This change was abrogated by colcemid but was unaltered by cytochalasin D, indicating a major role for microtubules. Ultrastructural studies demonstrated numerous microtubules in the cellular extensions which correlated with strong immunocytochemical staining for tubulin in the processes. Analysis of cytoskeletal fractions from the treated cells revealed a greater proportion of tubulin in the polymerized state compared with untreated cells which closely resembled the distribution in primary SC. The cytoskeletal changes observed in the TSC as a result of elevating the intra-cellular cAMP levels may reflect the earliest cellular changes in the induction of myelination. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The most commonly used chemopreventive agents in the prevention of oral leukoplakia, head and neck cancer, and lung cancer are β-carotene, vitamin A, and other retinoids. One of the few chemopreventive agents not in this group and presently being used in a clinical trial is N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC). NAC, an antioxidant, is used in EUROSCAN, a European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) chemoprevention study in curatively treated patients with oral, laryngeal, or lung cancer. The rationale for choosing NAC is based on a variety of experimental data showing its ability to exert protective effects, including extracellular inhibition of mutagenic agents from exogenous and endogenous sources, inhibition of genotoxicity of reactive oxygen species, modulation of metabolism coordinated with blocking of reactive metabolites, protection of DNA and nuclear enzymes, and prevention of the formation of carcinogen-DNA adducts. NAC has also demonstrated an effect on mutagen-induced chromosomal sensitivity assays, and on anticarcinogenicity in experimental animal models. In addition, preliminary data from EUROSCAN show good compliance in treated patients and a low frequency of side effects.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Extracellular signals are likely to be involved in the control of growth and differentiation during embyrogenesis of vertebrates. These signals include, among others, several members of the insulin family: insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I, IGF-II, and insulin. In the chick embryo, maternal IGF-I is stored in the yolk. In addition, the embryonic IGF-I gene is expressed very early and in late development in multiple tissues. We have used reverse-transcribed (RT) RNA and amplification by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect IGF-I gene expression. IGF-I was preferentially expressed in cephalic regions during late neurulation and early organogenesis. During late organogenesis, in some tissues, such as the eye lens, IGF-I gene expression is compartmentalized to a subset of cells, the epithelial cells. In these lens cells, IGF-I stimulates transcription of the δ-crystallin gene. Competence to respond to IGF-I exists in multiple cell types, since, based on binding studies, receptors for IGF-I are widespread in the gastrulating and neurulating embryo. Target tissues in which an autocrine/paracrine role for IGF-I appears more likely are the developing eye lens and retina, which are avascular organs rich in IGF-I receptors. In late development, IGF-I may have an additional endocrine role, with an impact on the general growth of the chick embryo. In embryos developed ex ovo, that show growth retardation after day 10 of embyrogenesis, IGF-I serum levels are very low. By day 8, expression of IGF-I mRNA in these embryos is markedly reduced in multiple tissues. Future studies in which IGF-I and its receptor are overexpressed or abolished should clarify the function of this growth factor in development. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Oxidative carbon-carbon coupling. III. Oxidative polymerization of bifunctional arylcyanoacetic esters (1973)
    New York : Wiley-Blackwell
    Journal of Polymer Science: Polymer Chemistry Edition 11 (1973), S. 345-352

    Notes: Bifunctional arylcyanoacetic esters were oxidatively coupled to high molecular weight, colorless, amorphous polymers, soluble in common organic solvents. Brittle films were obtained by casting or compression molding. Thermal stability of the polymers is poor due to the weak C—C bond formed by oxidative coupling. Radical dissociation-recombination of this bond (evidenced by ESR) results in meso-dl equilibration, lowering the Tg of the polymers.

    HSP 70 gene expression in Trypanosoma cruzi is regulated at different levels (1990)
    New York, NY [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: The level of HSP 70 mRNA is altered in Trypanosoma cruzi cells incubated at supra-optimal temperatures: the total amount of this RNA per cell is increased at 37°C, and slightly decreased at 40°C relative to its level at 29°C. However, its amount is greater in the polysomes at either temperature. The relative increase of this RNA is larger in the polysomes fraction than it is in the total RNA. In addition the level of HSP 70 protein in heat-shocked cells is greater than would be expected from the recruitment of HSP 70 mRNA in the polysomal fraction. Taken together the data are interpreted as indicating that at 37°C and 40°C the HSP 70 gene regulation in T. cruzi involves both the selective accumulation of the HSP 70 mRNA in the polysomes and its preferential translation. At 37°C, in addition, an increase in the total amount of this template is observed in the cells.
