Paul Attfield Polar magnets are promising materials for applications such as multiferroics or in spintronics. In double-corundum-related oxides, the cation ordering imposes a polar structure and the use of high pressure facilitates the insertion of magnetic cations into the compounds. Here we present the high-pre... [Phys. Rev. B 98, 214403] Published Tue Dec 04, 2018

    Notes: Gonadal differentiation in premetamorphic Bombina orientalis is described and staged. The pattern of events during differentiation in Bombina differs in several respects from that previously described in other anurans. The Bombina gonad initially develops on the ventral surface of the vena cava, where there is no pre-existent somatic genital ridge prior to the arrival of the germ cells. The sexually undifferentiated gonad does not have a distinct cortex and medulla; instead, medullary cells ingress from the mesonephric blastema during sexual differentiation. Formation of a testis or an ovary appears to depend on the ability (or lack of ability) of the medulla to invade the germ cell-containing cortex. In the germ line, sexual differetiation can be recognized by a premeiotic increase in oogonial cell volume.

    Notes: Cells considered to be migratory in the cerebral cortex of adult lizards are ultrastructurally of two types. Nuclei in the first type have highly dispersed chromatin, creating a spongy appearance, whereas in the second type the chromatin is irregularly clumped. Both types of cells are closely associated with processes of radial ependymal glia cells, which perhaps orient their migratory pathways. Cells with spongy chromatin show an increase in cytoplasmic organelles and progressive chromatin condensation as they travel from the ependymal layer to the granular layer. Possibly these cells account for the neuronal increase that takes place in the granular layer during postnatal life. Cells with chromatin clumps are very scarce; ultrastructurally they resemble immature reptilian astroglia cells.

    Notes: The architecture of follicular blood vessels in the ovary of lizards (Anolis equestris and Anolis carolinensis) was studied by standard histology and also after vascular perfusion with an orange silicone-rubber compound or with India ink. The theca of the follicular wall contains a netlike arrangement of anastomosing sinusoids, which increase in size as a follicle grows. An avascular stigma forms in very small, growing follicles when a portion of the follicular wall contacts the ovarian surface epithelium. Blood vessels then invade the theca except in the zone of contact. The diameter of the stigma is about 50% of follicular diameter, regardless of follicular size. Although the stigma of smaller follicles is avascular, that of vitellogenic follicles is hypovascular, i.e., a few vessels radiate into the stigma region. The antiangiogenic process involved in stigma formation may continue as the stigma enlarges. The development pattern of stigma formation found in Anolis is displayed by many other vertebrates.

    Notes: It is known that a number of species in the annelid family Lumbricidae harbor symbiotic microorganisms in the lumen of their nephridia. The purpose of the present paper is the study of the relationship between microbes and epithelial cells lining the metanephridium of two species of Oligochaeta, which show two different patterns of microbial colonization. A new interesting feature, the phagocytosis and intracellular destruction of microorganisms by the nephridial epithelial cells, has been observed in our laboratory for the first time. In Scheroteca savignyi minor, the phagocytic activity takes place in the bladder, the most distal region of the nephridium, next to the nephridiopore, which may prevent the microorganisms from entering the more proximal regions. In Octolasion cyaneum the microbes reach the striated duct, where they live in symbiosis, adhere to the cell's surface, and are engulfed and destroyed by the cells of the middle tubule - the more proximal, neighboring region. The phagocytosis and intracellular degradation of microorganisms probably lead to the massive formation of lamellar bodies, which are observed in these cells and in the neighboring ones.

    Notes: The morphology of cells and the organization of axons were studied in Golgi-Colonnier and toluidine blue stained preparations from the medial cerebral cortex of the lizard Lacerta pityusensis. In the medial cortex, six strata were distinguished between the superficial glial membrane and the ependyma. Strata I and II formed the outer plexiform layer, stratum III formed the cellular layer, and strata IV go VI the inner plexiform layer. The outer plexiform layer contained smooth bipolar neurons; their dendrites were oriented anteroposteriorly and their axons were directed towards the posterior zone of the brain. Five neuronal types were observed in the cellular layer. The spinous pyramidal neurons had well-developed apical dendrites and poorly developed basal ones. Their axons entered the inner plexiform layer and gave off collaterals oriented anteroposteriorly. The small, sparsely spinous pyramidal neurons had poorly developed dendrites and their axons entered the inner plexiform layer. The spinous bitufted neurons had well-developed apical and basal dendritic tufts. Their axons gave off collaterals that reached the outer and inner plexiform layers of both the dorsomedial and dorsal cortices. The sparsely spinous horizontal neurons had dendrites restricted to the outer plexiform layer. Their axons entered the inner plexiform layer. The sparsely spinous, multipolar neurons had their soma close to stratum IV and their axons entered the outer plexiform layer. In stratum V of the inner plexiform layer were large, spiny polymorphic neurons; they had dendrites with long spines, and their axons reached the cellular layer. On the basis of these results, we have subdivided the medial cortex into two subregions: the superficial region, which contains the neurons of the cellular layer and their dendritic domains, and the deep region, strata V and VI, which contains the large, spiny polymorphic neurons. The neurons in the medial cortex of these lizards resembles those in the area dentata of mammals. On this basis, the superficial region may be compared to the dentate gyrus and the deep region to the hilar region of the hippocampus of mammals.

    Notes: Two types of choanocyte-like cells have been found in the digestive tract of the starfish. Type I choanocytes are in the lining epithelium of all organs of the digestive system. These are narrow, columnar cells strongly anchored basally and expanded apically into a protuberance projecting into the lumen. A prominent flagellum surrounded by microvilli projects from the center of this protuberance. Apical cytoplasm contains numerous mitochondria, secondary lysosomes, and multivesicular bodies. A distinctive characteristic of these cells is a filament bundle that traverses the length of the cell from its region of attachment on the rootlet of the flagellar basal body to its terminus on the basal plasma membrane. Between the attenuated basal ends of type I cells are the nerve fibers of an intraepithelial nerve plexus. Thickness of the plexus is correlated with the quantity of type I cells in the epithelium.Type II choanocytes are in the cuboidal coelomic epithelium that forms the outer layer of digestive tract organs. These cells are smaller than those of type I, and they have an apical collar surmounted by a ring of 13 microvilli. Within the collar is a cup-shaped depression with a central flagellum. Coated vesicles, secondary lysosomes, and phagocytic infoldings are observed in and near the collar cytoplasm. Filament bundles similar to those in type I choanocytes are also observed in coelomic epithelial cells that are sufficiently tall. Injection of peroxidase into the stomach and ferritin into the coelom results in phagocytic uptake of these macromolecules by type I and type II choanocytes, respectively.

    Notes: Using several in vitro motility assays, we found that motility driven by the microtubule (MT) motors, kinesin and cytoplasmic dynein, could be inhibited by MAP2 but not by tau protein or the MT-binding proteolytic fragment of MAP2.In MT gliding assays, even the presence of one MAP2 molecule per sixty-nine tubulin dimers caused an inhibition of about 75% of MT motility at low concentrations of both motors. The percent inhibition of motility decreased with increasing concentration of either motor, suggesting that the inhibition was the result of competition for access to the MT surface. The decrease in the number of moving MTs with MAP2 was correlated with an increase in the frequency of release of moving MTs from the motor-coated glass. In assays of in vitro vesicular organelle motility and formation of ER networks, the presence of MAP2 inhibited small vesicle movements and to a lesser extent ER network formation.To determine if competition for specific sites on the MT or coating of the MT surface inhibited motility, we used tau protein and the chymotryptic MT-binding fragments of MAP2 to coat MTs. No inhibition was observed and there was even an increase in the number of attached and moving MTs in the gliding assay with tau-coated MTs. Because MAP2, tau and the chymotryptic MT-binding fragments of MAP2 bind to the same domain on tubulin, masking of the MT surface sites does not appear responsible for the inhibition of motility by MAP2. Rather, we suggest that the sidearm of MAP2 interfered with the interaction of motors with MTs and caused a dramatic increase in the rate of MT release. In vivo, MAP2 could play a major role in the generation of cellular polarity even at substoichiometric levels by inhibiting transport on microtubules in specific domains of the cytoplasm. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The secretory nature of the isoproterenol-induced mouse parotid polypeptides C, D, E, F, and G (molecular weights 64,000, 61,000, 51,500, 38,000, and 37,000, respectively) is documented. Polypeptides C, D, E, F, and G, accumulated in response to successive daily stimulations with isoproterenol, were detected in a fraction enriched in hypertrophic parotid acinar cells. These cells, characterized by an increased content of cytoplasmic granules, maintain a secretory responsiveness to isoproterenol, which has been evidenced by light microscopy, enzymatic analysis, and unidimensional SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Thus, a parallelism in the loss and recovery of both secretory granules, α-amylase and polypeptides C, D, E, F, and G, was observed. Moreover, after secretion stimulation, polypeptides C, D, E, F, and G were detected in the fluid collected directly from parotid gland cannulation. Given the secretory character of polypeptides C, D, E, F, and G, mechanisms explaining both their progressive accumulation along the chronic administration of isoproterenol, as well as their progressive disappearance observed after suspending that treatment, are discussed.

    Notes: We investigated the action of cholera toxin on the intracellular ionized calcium [Ca2+]i increase induced by anti-CD2 and anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies in the leukemic human T-cell line Jurkat. Cholera toxin inhibits in a dose-dependent manner these two pathways of human T-lymphocyte activation but with different half maximal inhibition doses (75 ng/ml for CD3, 30 ng/ml for CD2). This effect cannot be accounted for only by the increase in cAMP induced by cholera toxin because forskolin, which raises cellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) to the same levels, induced only a small inhibition of the [Ca2+]i increase in similar conditions. Cholera toxin induced a decrease in the surface expression of the CD3 molecule, suggesting a down-regulation of the CD3 molecules. On the other hand, the expression of CD2 remained unchanged. Cell surface disappearance of the CD3 molecule cannot account for all the inhibitory effects of cholera toxin because CD2 molecule expression was not affected (no modifications in the half maximal binding of anti-CD2 monoclonal antibodies). All together, these results suggest that cholera toxin acts on substrates, possibly G proteins, that could regulate the [Ca2+]i increase induced by anti-CD2 and anti-CD3 mAbs in Jurkat cells. In addition, the present study demonstrated that the rise in cellular cAMP partially inhibits the [Ca2+]i increase induced by anti-CD2 and anti-CD3 mAbs.
