    Notes: Abstract Measurement of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the rat is most often performed with competitive ligand radioimmunoassays (RIA) utilizing heterologous antibodies. We report here the validation of a newly developed homologous immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) for rat PTH. Two different goat antibodies to the amino-terminal sequence of rat PTH are utilized; one is immobilized onto plastic beads to capture the PTH molecules and the other is radiolabeled for detection. To test this new IRMA, 30 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into three treatment groups to receive by intraperitoneal injection: (1) saline 1 ml/kg (control); (2) calcium chloride 40 mg/kg (hypercalcemic); and (3) EDTA 300 mg/kg (hypocalcemic). Blood samples were taken at 0, 30, 60, 180, and 300 minutes after administration of the assigned treatment for measurement of ionized calcium (Ca2+) and serum PTH. Most of the variance in PTH levels was found to be due to changes in Ca2+ (r2=0.780, P〈0.0001). There was also a close temporal relationship between the two, with the highest levels of PTH occurring at the same measured time points as the lowest Ca2+, and vice versa. The measured detection limit of the IRMA was 3 pg/ml with intra-and interassay coefficients of variation of 1.74% and 3.07%, respectively. Serial dilutions with pooled rat serum, synthetic rat PTH-(1–34), and synthetic human PTH-(1–34) showed good parallelism with increased specificity for the pooled and synthetic PTH, despite a degree of crossreactivity with hPTH. The assay is able to quantitate rapid changes in PTH, providing all the advantages of IRMA methodology including technical simplicity and speed of performance, and is likely to become a useful tool in investigations of bone, mineral, and renal homeostasis using the rat.

    Notes: Summary Monospecific antibody directed to cysteine protease of 2-day-old rat epidermis recently characterized as being different from the proteases previously reported was produced in rabbits. By immunofluorescence microscopy and immunoperoxidase staining with an avidin-biotin-peroxidase method the protease was found to be present in the epidermis of rodents of different ages as well as that of humans, but not in the dermis. The staining in germinative cells was more intense than in cells in the superficial layers. It appeared as irregular patches in the nuclei and stained more diffusely in the cytoplasm where small granular components, strongly stained, were identified. The staining patterns in granular cells showed accumulation of the antigen in a granular form. The morphology and distribution of granules resembled those of keratohyalin-like granules in the nucleus and dense homogenous deposits in the cytoplasm. In cornified cells the reaction product was localized by the plasma membrane where concentration of the dense homogenous deposits occurred, suggesting that the cysteine protease is one component of the unique and characteristic structure of differentiated keratinocytes. In addition, the cysteine protease antigen having the same molecular weight as the epidermal enzyme was detected in liver, kidney and lung indicating a wider tissue distribution of the protease. The significance of the protease in regulation of cellular functions remains to be investigated.

    Notes: Summary The chemical nature of the thickened plasma membrane of cornified cells in stratified squamous epithelium was investigated in comparison with that in noncornified epithelium. Localizations of transglutaminase, molecular weight 92000 daltons, and detection of epidermal cysteine proteinase inhibitor were effected with a monoclonal antibody and a monospecific rabbit anti-inhibitor immunoglobulin, respectively, directed to the antigens. N-(7-dimethylamino-4-methylcoumarinyl) maleimide was used to demonstrate S-S cross-linking. In all keratinizing epithelia, the enzyme and inhibitor were deposited on membranes of granular cells. S-S bonds were formed in cornification with the appearance of electron-dense material by the inner leaflet. Both enzyme and inhibitors occurred on the corneal epithelium, but S-S linkage and the thickened plasma membrane did not form even at the last stage of maturation. On the other hand, the internal vaginal epithelium in the proestrous stage without keratinization contained the enzyme, but neither inhibitor nor S-S linkage. Both antigens and S-S bonds were detected when keratinization proceeded during estrus. The staining patterns in the epithelium near the vaginal introitus were identical to those in the skin. Cuboidal and simple epithelia exhibited none of those constituents. The findings indicated that heterogenous components contribute to modification of the plasma membrane of cornified cells, but S-S cross-linkages are associated exclusively with formation of the ultrastructurally unique membrane structure. In addition, findings suggested hormonal regulation in the chemical modification of the membrane in estrogen-sensitive internal vaginal epithelium.

    Notes: Abstract Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) was identified by HPLC and GC-MS as one of the reaction products after incubation of sterile cultures of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings with labeled indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). This is the first demonstration of IBA biosynthesis in a dicotyledonous plant. After 1 h of incubation most of the IBA was found in the free form, while after longer periods of incubation most of it was detected in conjugated forms. Formation of IBA conjugates was inhibited by the addition of unlabeled IBA. The biosynthesis of IBA and its conjugates was followed throughout the development of the seedlings and at different pH values. All parts of the plant (isolated roots, leaves, shoots and flowers) were able to convert IAA to IBA to the same extent. IAA was more readily transported than IBA in mature Arabidopsis plants. Feeding of labeled phenylacetic acid (PAA) and α-naphthylacetic acid (NAA) to Arabidopsis seedlings resulted in a new small peak which was hydrolyzed by 7N NaOH, but the formation of compounds with longer side chains (analogous to IBA) could not be detected.

    Notes: Abstract Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) was metabolized by seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana cultivated in liquid medium under sterile conditions to two major metabolites. One metabolite was hydrolyzed by 1 N NaOH and β-glucosidase and was tentatively identified as IBA-glucose and the other was hydrolyzed by 7 N NaOH and amidase and was identified as an amide-linked conjugate. IBA-glucose synthase activity was found in a soluble enzyme fraction after incubation of 3H-IBA, IBA and UDP-glucose. The labelled reaction product had an Rf value comparable to IBA glucose and stained positive with Ehmann reagent.

    Notes: Abstract Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) was identified by HPLC and GC-MS as an endogenous compound in plantlets of the crucifer Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. A. thaliana was cultivated under sterile conditions as shaking culture in different liquid media with and without supply of hormones. Free and total IBA and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) were determined at different stages of development during the culture period as well as in culture media of different initial pH values. The results showed that IAA was present in higher concentrations than IBA, but both hormones seemed to show the same behaviour under the different experimental conditions. Differences were found in the mode of conjugation of the two hormones. While IAA was mostly conjugated via amide bonds, the main IBA conjugates were ester bound. The ethylene concentration derived from the seedlings, when they were grown in flasks of different size, seemed not to influence the auxin content in the same cultures.
