    Notes: Axons in tissue culture retract and shorten if their tips are detached from the substrate. The shortening reaction of the axon involves contractile forces that also arise during normal axonal motility, elongation, and retraction. We studied shortening in axonal segments isolated from their parent axons by transecting the axon between the growth cone and the most distal point of adhesion to the substrate. Within 15-20 minutes after transection, an isolated axonal segment shortened and pulled its tail end toward the growth cone. During the shortening process, long sinusoidal bends arose along the axon. The identical shortening reaction occurs without transection, when the axon tip is detached from the substrate. Pharmacological studies with inhibitors of glycolysis indicate that the shortening mechanisms utilize metabolic energy, presumably ATP. The rate of sinusoidal shortening is similar to both the rate of polymer translocation in the axon by slow axonal transport and the rate of normal axonal elongation. Taxol inhibits the shortening reaction with a similar dose dependence to its inhibition of axonal growth. Together, all these observations suggest that the same basic intracellular motility mechanisms are involved in normal axonal growth, in slow axonal transport, and in the shortening reaction: the intracellular dynamic system that utilizes ATP to generate longitudinal movements of polymers within the axon may be the same mechanism underlying both the retraction and the elongation of the axon.

    Notes: The mechanism of therapeutic activity of recombinant murine interferon-gamma (rMu IFN-γ) and the IFN inducer polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid solubilized with poly-L-lysine in carboxy methyl cellulose (pICLC) in treating metastatic disease was investigated by comparing effector cell augmentation with therapeutic activity in mice bearing experimental lung metastases (B16-BL6 melanoma). Effector cell functions in spleen, peripheral blood, and lung (the organ with tumor) were tested after 1 and 3 weeks of rMu IFN-γ or pICLC administration (intravenous, three times a week). In these studies, natural killer (NK), lymphokine-activated killer (LAK), cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) (against specific and nonspecific targets), and macrophage tumoricidal and tumoristatic activities were measured. rM IFN-γ and pICLC had therapeutic activity and immunomodulatory activity in most assays of immune function examined. Specific CTL activity of pulmonary parenchymal mononuclear cells (PPMC), but not in splenocytes or peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), during week 3 and not during week 1, correlated with the therapeutic activity of rMu IFN-γ and of pICLC. Macrophage tumoricidal activity in PPMC, but not in alveolar macrophages, also correlated with the therapeutic activity of rMu IFN-γ, but the opposite was true for the therapeutic activity of pICLC. NK activity of PPMC, but not of splenocytes or PBL, during week 1 correlated with the therapeutic activity of pICLC; in contrast, NK activity at any site did not correlate with the therapeutic activity of rMu IFN-γ. LAK activity at any site did not correlate with the therapeutic activity of either agent.

    Notes: We undertook a study to define the role of cyclic AMP [cAMP] in modulating the secretion of transcobalamin II (TC-II) in the mouse macrophage like cell line J774. J774 was observed to secrete large amounts of TC-II, particularly in the presence of 8-bromo cAMP or cholera toxin or when grown in medium supplemented with low concentrations of horse serum (1% or 5%) or in serum-free medium. Variant cell lines derived from J774 and deficient either in adenylate cyclase (ac - ) or cAMP-dependent protein kinase (pk - ) activity showed very low and intermediate levels of basal secretory activity of TC-II, respectively, compared to J774. Maximum secretory activity of TC-II was observed in J774 under conditions in which growth was poorest (in the presence of 8-bromo-cAMP or 1% or 5% horse serum-supplemented medium or in serum-free medium). Cells grown in serum-free medium were found to have elevated basal adenylate cyclase activity and cAMP levels compared to those grown in medium supplemented with 20% horse serum. The data from this study demonstrate a negative correlation between growth activity and TC-II secretion in the J774 cell line. The stimulatory effect of exogenous cAMP on TC-II secretion by J774, the reduced secretory activity of the variant lines ac - and pk - and the observed increase in cell cAMP levels under conditions of serum starvation in which TC-II secretion is considerably enhanced, suggest that cell cAMP is an important modulator of TC-II secretion and growth behavior in the J774 cell line.

    Notes: The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of the mammary derived growth inhibitor (MDGI) and the subcellular localization of MDGI related antigens in bovine mammary glands. Cell-free translation of poly (A+) = RNA, immunoprecipitation with rabbit anti-MDGI-antibodies, and estimation of the relative contents of MDGI by a radioimmunoassay in mammary tissue of different functional statess revealed that the 13 kDa MDGI was dramatically increased in terminally differentiated mammary tissue compared with the proliferating tissue from pregnant animals. To address the question of tissue localizationl, polyclonal anti-MDGI antibodies and antibodies directed aganist a sythetic peptide corresponding ot residues 69 to 78 of MDGI were used. Western blotting of tissue fractions revealed the cytosolic and microsomal localization of MDGI. Additionally, both types of antibodies a 70-kDa antigeninthe unclear fractionof differentiated mammary glands. Salt extraction and DNase I digestion of isolated unclei, as well as chromatin purification, indicated an association of the 70-kDa antigen with the chromatin. By means of the immunogold technique, MDGI-related antigens were localized within euchromatic unclear regions of epithelial cells in the intact differentiated mammary gland. The immunostaining was markedly diminished in the proliferating tissue. This finding raises the possibility that MDGI and the 70-kDa antigen influence cell proliferation by acting on geneexpression within the unclei of mammary glands.

    Notes: The metabolic defect which results in the accumulation of cystine within tissues of children with the recessively inherited disease cystinosis has baffled investigators for almost half a century. Investigations by numerous laboratories have finally culminated in the delineation of the basic defect in this unusual disorder.
