    Notes: Vitamin D responsive transcription of the bone-specific osteocalcin gene differs markedly in osteosarcoma cells and normal diploid osteoblasts. In osteoblasts the osteocalcin gene is transcribed, and upregulated by Vitamin D, only in post-proliferative cells, but in osteosarcoma cells expression is constitutive. This distinction in transcriptional regulation of the osteocalcin gene correlates with striking differences in the relative representation of two principal Vitamin D-dependent protein/DNA complexes designated V1 and V2 at the Vitamin D responsive element in the osteocalcin promoter. Formation of both complexes is Vitamin D dependent and they contain the Vitamin D receptor as well as an RXR related protein. Pore size exclusion and sedimentation velocity analyses suggest that the V1 and V2 complexes represent oligomeric protein assemblies (respectively, tetramers and trimers), and reflect primarily DNA-directed association of the monomeric protein components at the osteocalcin Vitamin D responsive element. UV crosslinking and methylation interference analyses of the V1 and V2 complexes at the osteocalcin Vitamin D responsive element indicate differences in protein/DNA recognition. For example, the V1 complex interacts with both steroid half-elements, whereas the V2 complex appears to recognize the proximal half-element. Our findings suggest variations in protein/protein and protein/DNA interactions of the VDR and RXR related complexes V1 and V2 at the osteocalcin Vitamin D responsive element that reflect unique properties of the osteosarcoma and normal diploid osteoblast phenotype. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Biochemical effects of sublethal doses of cypermethrin on the sixth-instar larvae of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst.) (1986)

    Notes: Effects of sublethal doses ie, 2, 4, 10, and 20 ppm of cypermethrin, were studied on the sixth-instar larvae of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst.). Of all the biochemical parameters tested, the free amino acids and cholesterol content and the activity of amylase were found to be the most sensitive components. Glutamate pyruvate transaminase activity was elevated at all doses except 2 ppm. The activities of alkaline phosphatase and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase and glucose content were raised significantly at doses of 10 and 20 ppm. Acid phosphatase activity and the soluble protein content increased at a dose of 20 ppm. Total lipid and triglycerides, however, decreased significantly at this sublethal dose. Other biochemical parameters, such as cholinesterase and lactate dehydrogenase activities and the total protein, urea, glycogen, DNA, and RNA contents, were not significantly affected by exposure to different doses of cypermethrin.
