    Notes: Summary The PAP-technique and antibodies to myosin were used to demonstrate the prerequisites for vasoconstriction in the juxtaglomerular part of the preglomerular arteriole as compared with its proximal segment in rats and mice. In contrast with the myosin-positive/renin-negative proximal part of the afferent arteriole no myosin-like activity could be demonstrated in its distal, renin-positive part. In accordance, no thick myofilaments were found in fully differentiated juxtaglomerular epithelioid cells replete with mature secretory granules. Stimulation of the renin-angiotensin system was followed by an increase of the reninpositive/myosin-negative portions of the preglomerular arteriole. Marked interspecies and internephron variations in the length of this vessel segment under control and stimulated conditions were observed. The juxtaglomerular part of the preglomerular arteriole close to the macula densa seems therefore to have only limited capabilities for vasoconstriction. This finding may be of importance regarding the tubulo-glomerular feedback, a mechanism allegedly triggered by the so-called ‘macula densa-signal’. It is suggested that this non-contractile segment of the afferent arteriole may represent the renal vascular receptor responsible for the increase of renin secretion during pressure reduction. Unlike the afferent arterioles, most of the efferent arterioles showed the highest level of their weak but distinct myosin-like immunoreactivity in the juxtaglomerular region, indicating some efferent juxtaglomerular vasoconstrictive ability.

    The hypogonadal mouse: reproductive functions restored by gene therapy (1986)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1986-12-12
    Description: The hypogonadal (hpg) mouse lacks a complete gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) gene and consequently cannot reproduce. Introduction of an intact GnRH gene into the genome of these mutant mice resulted in complete reversal of the hypogonadal phenotype. Transgenic hpg/hpg homozygotes of both sexes were capable of mating and producing offspring. Pituitary and serum concentrations of luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prolactin were restored to those of normal animals. Immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization showed that GnRH expression was restored in the appropriate hypothalamic neurons of the transgenic hpg animals, an indication of neural-specific expression of the introduced gene.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mason, A J -- Pitts, S L -- Nikolics, K -- Szonyi, E -- Wilcox, J N -- Seeburg, P H -- Stewart, T A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 Dec 12;234(4782):1372-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3097822" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A parathyroid hormone-like protein from cultured human keratinocytes (1986)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1986-01-24
    Description: Parathyroid hormone-like factors have been found in extracts of tumors associated with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy, many of which are of squamous epithelial origin. Cultured, nonmalignant human keratinocytes were examined for the production of similar factors. Keratinocyte-conditioned medium from ten cultures stimulated the production of cyclic adenosine monophosphate in clonally derived rat osteosarcoma cells sensitive to parathyroid hormone. Bovine [Nle8,18, Tyr34]PTH-(3-34)NH2, a competitive inhibitor of parathyroid hormone, stopped the adenylate cyclase production stimulated by keratinocyte-conditioned medium, but antisera to parathyroid hormone had no effect on such adenylate cyclase activity. The active component of keratinocyte-conditioned medium has a molecular weight exceeding that of native parathyroid hormone. These characteristics are shared by the parathyroid hormone receptor agonists associated with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy, which suggests that normal human keratinocytes may produce a factor related to that produced by malignant tumors associated with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Merendino, J J Jr -- Insogna, K L -- Milstone, L M -- Broadus, A E -- Stewart, A F -- AM 30102/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 Jan 24;231(4736):388-90.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2417317" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
