    Notes: Abstract The rapid effects of cAMP on gap junction-mediated intercellular communication were examined in several cell types which express different levels of the gap junction protein, connexin43 (Cx43), including immortalized rat hepatocyte and granulosa cells, bovine coronary venular endothelial cells, primary rat myometrial and equine uterine epithelial cells. Functional analysis of changes in junctional communication induced by 8-bromo-cAMP was monitored by a fluorescence recovery after photobleaching assay in subconfluent cultures in the presence or absence of 1.0 mm 1-octanol (an agent which uncouples cells by closing gap junction channels). Communicating cells treated with 1.0 mm 8-bromo-cAMP alone exhibited significant increases in the percent of fluorescence recovery which were detected within 1–3 min depending on cell type, and junctional communication remained significantly elevated for up to 24 hr. Addition of 1.0 mm 8-bromo-cAMP to cultured cells, which were uncoupled with 1.0 mm octanol for 1 min, exhibited partial restoration of gap junctional permeability beginning within 3–5 min. Identical treatments were performed on cultures that were subsequently processed for indirect immunofluorescence to monitor Cx43 distribution. The changes in junctional permeability of cells correlated with changes in the distribution of immunoreactive Cx43. Cells treated for 2 hr with 10 μm monensin exhibited a reduced communication rate which was accompanied by increased vesicular cytoplasmic Cx43 staining and reduced punctate surface staining of junctional plaques. Addition of 1.0 mm 8-bromo-cAMP to these cultures had no effect on the rate of communication or the distribution of Cx43 compared to cultures treated with monensin alone. These data suggest that an effect of cyclic AMP on Cx43 gap junctions is to promote increases in gap junctional permeability by increasing trafficking and/or assembly of Cx43 to plasma membrane gap junctional plaques.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Einführung von Mikrowellen in thermische Analysentechniken kann Gradientenprobleme lösen und die Aussagemöglichkeiten der thermischen Analyse vergrößern. Ein in unserem Laboratorium eingesetzter Mikrowellengenerator ermöglicht die Aufheizung der Probe mit konstanter und gut definierter Geschwindigkeit. Eine zur DTA benutzte Versuchsanordnung wird beschrieben. Die für einige mineralische Substanzen mit exothermen Wasserangabepeak erhaltenen DTA-Kurven werden mit den konventionellen DTA-Kurven der gleichen Materialien verglichen. In mit der gleichen Apparatur aufgenommen thermodilatometrischen Kurven von PVC sind bei Anwendung der Mikrowellenheizung Umwandlungen klarer zu erkennen als bei der herkömmlichen Verfahrensweise. Eine bei konventionellen Aufheizen meist nicht erkennbare Umwandlung wird klar nachgewiesen. Da bei Mikrowellenheizung die Umwandlungstemperatur bei DTA-Versuchen niedriger als bei thermodilatometrischen Experimenten liegen, erscheint es als wahrscheinlich, daß ein Teil der absorbierten Mikrowellenenergie in einer anderen Form als in der von Wärme aufgenommen wird.
    Abstract: Резюме Введение микроволно водой в термические методы анализа решае т проблему градиентов и увеличи вает возможности тер мического анализа. Микроволнов ая силовая установка, изготовле нная в лаборатории ав торов, обеспечивает нагрев образца с постоян-ной и хорошо определяемо й скоростью нагрева. О писана экспериментальная у становка для использования ее в ДТА. Дифференциальн ые термические кривые, п олученные для некоторых минералов, показывающих экзоте рмические пики выделяющейся во ды, сопоставлены с обычными кривыми ДТ А, полученных для этих минералов. Термодила то-метрические кривые для ПВХ, получе нные на этой же устано вке при микровольновом и стандартном нагрев ах, показали более чет кое проявление превраще ний по сравнению с обичным нагревом. По скольку при микровол новом нагреве температуры преврашения наблюдаются при боле е низких значениях ка к в ДТА так и в термодилатометрии, поэтому возможно, что часть по глощенной микроволн овой энергии, кроме нагрев а, расходуется и на другие формы.
    Notes: Abstract Introduction of microwaves in thermal analysis techniques may solve gradient problems and enlarge the investigation possibilities of thermal analysis. A microwave power control set up in our laboratory provides the sample with a constant and well defined heating rate. Experimental set used for DTA is described. Differential thermal curves got for some mineral products showing exothermal water departure peaks are compared to conventional DTA curves got for the same materials. Thermodilatometric curves of PVC realized with the same apparatus, under microwave and standard heating, show that transformations appear more clearly than under conventional heating. A transformation which almost is not discernible under conventional heating is clearly evidenced. As transformation temperatures under microwaves appear at lower values in DTA as in thermodilatometry, it looks probable that a part of the absorbed microwave energy enters under an other form than heat.

    Description: Chronic exposure to JP-8 and other kerosene-based petroleum distillates has been associated with hepatic, renal, neurologic, pulmonary, and immune toxicity. However, the effects of kerosene-type jet fuels on cellular homeostasis hitherto have not been reported. Fluorescence imaging using a Meridian Ultima laser scanning fluorescence microscope was used to evaluate the effect of JP-8 jet fuel on a communication competent rat liver cell line. Several endpoints of cellular function were measured including gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC), mitochondrial and plasma membrane potential (MMP and PMP, respectively), intracellular glutathione (GSH) concentration, glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Cells were treated with JP-8 (0.01 to 2% in ethanol (EtOH)) for the following time points: 1 h, 24 h, 48 h, and analysis immediately after addition of jet fuel. GJIC analyzed directly after addition of 1% JP-8 was reduced 4.9-fold relative to EtOH-dosed control groups and further reduction (12.6-fold) was observed in cells treated for 1 h. Moreover, GJIC was not recoverable in cells treated with 1% JP-8 for 1 h and subsequently washed and incubated in fresh medium for 1 h. Significant changes in GSH content and GST activity were observed in cells analyzed directly after addition of 1% JP-8. GSH content increased in cells treated for 1 h with less than 2% JP-8 whereas treatment with 2% JP-8 for 1 h resulted in a 50% reduction in intracellular GSH relative to EtOH-dosed controls. Cells treated with 1% JP-8 for 48 h exhibited changes in GSH levels. However, higher JP-8 concentrations exhibited more pronounced changes in GSH and GST, which led to suppression of GSH synthesis. ROS increased in a dose-responsive fashion at JP-8 concentrations up to 1%, but decreased to 80% of control values at 2% and 3% JP-8. A 25% reduction in PMP was observed in cells treated for 1 h with 1% JP-8. In contrast, cells treated for 48 h with 2% JP-8 exhibited a 25% increase when compared to control. No significant changes were noted in the 0.01 and 1% treatment groups. Moreover, no significant changes were observed in MMP or intracellular calcium concentrations in cells treated with 0.01 to 2% JP-8 for up to 48 h. In summary, the most significant effects observed in the present study which may contribute to the toxicity of JP-8 jet fuel in cultured rat liver cells include effects on GJIC, ROS production, and GSH depletion at high (i.e., greater than 2%) JP-8 concentrations.
