    Description: Retinal neovascularization is the major cause of untreatable blindness. The role of growth hormone (GH) in ischemia-associated retinal neovascularization was studied in transgenic mice expressing a GH antagonist gene and in normal mice given an inhibitor of GH secretion (MK678). Retinal neovascularization was inhibited in these mice in inverse proportion to serum levels of GH and a downstream effector, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). Inhibition was reversed with exogenous IGF-I administration. GH inhibition did not diminish hypoxia-stimulated retinal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or VEGF receptor expression. These data suggest that systemic inhibition of GH or IGF-I, or both, may have therapeutic potential in preventing some forms of retinopathy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Smith, L E -- Kopchick, J J -- Chen, W -- Knapp, J -- Kinose, F -- Daley, D -- Foley, E -- Smith, R G -- Schaeffer, J M -- EY08670/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Jun 13;276(5319):1706-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Ophthalmology, Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital, Boston, MA 02115, USA. smith_lo@a1.tch.harvard.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9180082" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Neoplastic pancreatic epithelial cells are believed to die through caspase 8-dependent apoptotic cell death, and chemotherapy is thought to promote tumour apoptosis. Conversely, cancer cells often disrupt apoptosis to survive. Another type of programmed cell death is necroptosis (programmed necrosis), but its role in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is unclear. There are many potential inducers of necroptosis in PDA, including ligation of tumour necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1), CD95, TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) receptors, Toll-like receptors, reactive oxygen species, and chemotherapeutic drugs. Here we report that the principal components of the necrosome, receptor-interacting protein (RIP)1 and RIP3, are highly expressed in PDA and are further upregulated by the chemotherapy drug gemcitabine. Blockade of the necrosome in vitro promoted cancer cell proliferation and induced an aggressive oncogenic phenotype. By contrast, in vivo deletion of RIP3 or inhibition of RIP1 protected against oncogenic progression in mice and was associated with the development of a highly immunogenic myeloid and T cell infiltrate. The immune-suppressive tumour microenvironment associated with intact RIP1/RIP3 signalling depended in part on necroptosis-induced expression of the chemokine attractant CXCL1, and CXCL1 blockade protected against PDA. Moreover, cytoplasmic SAP130 (a subunit of the histone deacetylase complex) was expressed in PDA in a RIP1/RIP3-dependent manner, and Mincle--its cognate receptor--was upregulated in tumour-infiltrating myeloid cells. Ligation of Mincle by SAP130 promoted oncogenesis, whereas deletion of Mincle protected against oncogenesis and phenocopied the immunogenic reprogramming of the tumour microenvironment that was induced by RIP3 deletion. Cellular depletion suggested that whereas inhibitory macrophages promote tumorigenesis in PDA, they lose their immune-suppressive effects when RIP3 or Mincle is deleted. Accordingly, T cells, which are not protective against PDA progression in mice with intact RIP3 or Mincle signalling, are reprogrammed into indispensable mediators of anti-tumour immunity in the absence of RIP3 or Mincle. Our work describes parallel networks of necroptosis-induced CXCL1 and Mincle signalling that promote macrophage-induced adaptive immune suppression and thereby enable PDA progression.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4833566/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4833566/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Seifert, Lena -- Werba, Gregor -- Tiwari, Shaun -- Giao Ly, Nancy Ngoc -- Alothman, Sara -- Alqunaibit, Dalia -- Avanzi, Antonina -- Barilla, Rocky -- Daley, Donnele -- Greco, Stephanie H -- Torres-Hernandez, Alejandro -- Pergamo, Matthew -- Ochi, Atsuo -- Zambirinis, Constantinos P -- Pansari, Mridul -- Rendon, Mauricio -- Tippens, Daniel -- Hundeyin, Mautin -- Mani, Vishnu R -- Hajdu, Cristina -- Engle, Dannielle -- Miller, George -- CA155649/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA168611/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA193111/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30CA016087/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA168611/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- T32 CA193111/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- UL1 TR000038/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2016 Apr 14;532(7598):245-9. doi: 10.1038/nature17403.

    Notes: Summary A real-valued discrete time Markov Chain {X n} is defined to be stochastically monotone when its one-step transition probability function pr {X n+1≦y¦ X n=x} is non-increasing in x for every fixed y. This class of Markov Chains arises in a natural way when it is sought to “bound” (stochastically speaking) the process {X n} by means of a “smaller” or “larger” process with the same transition probabilities; the class includes many simple models of applied probability theory. Further, a given stochastically monotone Markov Chain can readily be “bounded” by another chain {Y n}, with possibly different transition probabilities and not necessarily stochastically monotone, and this is of particular value when the latter process leads to simpler algebraic manipulations. A stationary stochastically monotone Markov Chain {X n} has cov(f(X 0), f(X n)) ≧ cov(f(X 0), f(X n+1))≧0 (n =1, 2,...) for any monotonic function f(·). The paper also investigates the definition of stochastic monotonicity on a more general state space, and the properties of integer-valued stochastically monotone Markov Chains.

    Notes: Abstract This paper is concerned with gene survival in a population which may increase without density dependence according to a generalization of the Moran model for haploid individuals. A selective advantage to one allele and the possibility of differential reproductive rates are allowed. Simple conditions are given for ultimate homozygosity to be certain and for the possibility of ultimate polymorphism. The results complement and extend those of Heyde (1981, 1982).

    Notes: Summary 1. The giant interneurons (GI's) of the cockroachPeriplaneta americana are morphologically divisible into dorsal and ventral groups within each connective of the ventral nerve cord (VNC). During walking there is simultaneous excitation of dorsal GI's and inhibition of ventral GI's (Figs. 1, 2, 5 and 6). 2. The mean firing frequency of each of the six dorsal GI's increases as the animal's speed of walking increases. In an analogous manner, the amount of inhibition of the six large ventral GI's increases as the speed of walking increases (Figs. 6 and 7). 3. Computer-aided analysis of intracellular records of GI firing during walking in suspended preparations indicated that at the slow speeds of walking tested, spike activity of all three pairs of dorsal GI's is not closely coupled to any particular phase in the stepping cycle. 4. The inhibition of ventral GI activity doesn't build up over time. It begins when the animal begins stepping and stops when the animal stops stepping (Fig. 5) as has been shown previously for excitatory modulation of dorsal GI's (Delcomyn and Daley, 1979). 5. These results suggest that the morphological division of GI's into dorsal and ventral groups has a physiological correlate. The dual modulation of GI activity during walking is discussed in relation to the animal's escape behavior.

    Notes: Summary 1. There are two morphologically distinct groups of giant interneurons (GI's) in the American cockroach. The excitability of each of these groups is modulated during walking. The dorsal group of GI's (cells 5, 6, and 7) is excited while the ventral group of GI's (cells 1, 2, and 3) is inhibited. Here we show that there are both central and peripheral components to both the excitatory and inhibitory modulation. 2. Intracellular recordings were made from identified dorsal GI's (cells 5, 6, and 7) before and after severing the ventral nerve cord (VNC) anterior to the recording site. Severing the nerve cord greatly reduced the frequency of firing of all three dorsal GI's during walking (Fig. 1 and 2). Covering over the cerci (wind-sensitive abdominal appendages) with petroleum jelly further reduced the firing frequency of dorsal GI's during walking to the normal background level (compare Fig. 1 C and D). These results suggest that the major source of excitation of dorsal GI's during walking descends the VNC from thoracic or higher nervous centers. 3. Following deafferentation of thoracic and abdominal ganglia (only the paired cereal nerves and interganglionic connectives were left intact) intracellular recordings from identified dorsal GI's showed that these GI's were still excited during repetitive bursts of activity in leg motoneurons (Fig. 5) indicating that sensory input concomitant with walking was not the primary source of descending excitation. 4. The inhibitory modulation of ventral GI (cells 1, 2 and 3) excitability was investigated by comparing the sound responsiveness of individual ventral GI's to 50 Hz tone pulses in animals which were quiescent to that of the same ventral GI during bursts of motor activity in deafferented animals. Deafferentation experiments performed on ventral GI's 1, 2 and 3 all show that their sound responsiveness was reduced during bursts of leg motoneuron activity (Fig. 5). These results suggest that inhibitory modulation of the three large ventrally located GI's also has a central origin and is activated by the animal's walking. 5. Peripheral inhibitory modulation of ventral GI activity during walking was revealed in experiments performed on animals with ventral nerve cords cut anterior to the recording site. Intracellular recordings from these animals showed that the sound responsiveness of the three large ventral GI's (cells 1, 2 and 3) was still reduced during walking. These results suggest that during walking inhibitory modulation of ventral GI's originates from peripheral as well as central sources. 6. Sound responsiveness experiments with identified dorsal GI's showed that sensory input summates with descending excitation during walking to yield a greater number of spikes per tone pulse. When central descending pathways were cut, the increased sound responsiveness of dorsal GI's during walking was eliminated. Thus, when central descending input to dorsal GI's was eliminated, sound responsiveness was identical during resting and walking. 7. These results are discussed in relation to the organization and functional roles of the walking-associated modulation of GI excitability. It is argued that the central descending pathways dominate the observed modulation and that these pathways provide the most effective means of controlling GI excitability during walking.

    Notes: Summary Results from the theory of random walks applied to the random excision hypothesis for production of petite mutants in yeast suggest that frequency of excision should increase as a linear function of mitochondrial DNA length (see appendix). For a series of petite positive yeasts we have determined the spontaneous petite frequency (ranging from about 0.003% to 9%) and length of mtDNA (ranging from about 19 Kbp to c. 108 Kbp) and found that, while the frequency of petite mutants does generally increase with mtDNA length, the relationship is far from linear. Although these results are inconclusive concerning the random excision hypothesis they do indicate that amongst related yeasts other factors have a greater influence than mtDNA length in determining the frequency of petite mutants.
