    Notizen: Cultures of HeLa cells, strains S3G (HeLa65) and S3K (HeLa71) were grown in plastic dishes until firmly attached and were then treated with sonic dispersions of Rosenthal's phospholipase inhibitor. A rapid increase in alkaline phosphatase activity occurred following this treatment in the S3G strain (low inducible alkaline phosphatase) but not in the S3K strain (high constitutive alkaline phosphatase). The stimulatory effect was dependent on the presence of bovine serum in the medium. No stimulation of alkaline phosphatase was observed in a variety of soluble preparations of this enzyme.

    Notizen: Purified human blood neutrophils were able to bind radioiodinated murine granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in a specific manner. This factor has previously been shown to stimulate functional activities of human and murine neutrophilic granulocytes and to be functionally analogous to human-derived CSFβ. The binding of 125I G-CSF to human neutrophils was competed for equally by unlabeled G-CSF and CSFβ but not by other CSF's. Saturation analysis indicated that human neutrophils displayed about 700-1,500 receptors for G-CSF/CSFβ per cell. Three other agents (N-formyl-methionine-leucine phenylalanine, bacterial lipopolysaccharide, and human CSFα) known to activate neutrophils did not compete directly for G-CSF binding sites but, in preincubation experiments at 37°C, were able to down-modulate the expression of G-CSF receptors on human neutrophils in a dose- and time-dependent manner. This effect was specific since the same agents have been shown elsewhere to up-regulate the expression of other granulocyte surface antigens and other agents were much less effective at down-modulating G-CSF receptors. Since the granulocyte-activating agents increase the sensitivity of human neutrophils to G-CSF/CSFβ and mimic some of the actions of G-CSF on neutrophils, it is suggested that G-CSF receptor down-modulation might be a mechanism whereby these agents activate G-CSF receptors and thereby exert some of their effects.

    Notizen: 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.

    Notizen: The human T cell-derived cytokines interleukin (IL)-3, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CM-CSF), and IL-5 were examined for their ability to bind specifically to human basophils and to regulate their function. Scatchard analysis of equilibrium binding studies showed that IL-3 and GM-CSF, bound to basophils with apparent dissociation constants (KD) = 8 × 10-11M and 3.9 × 10-11M, respectively. Specificity studies under conditions that prevent receptor internalization showed that the binding of IL-3, GM-CSF, and IL-5 was not inhibited by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IL-1β, interferon (IFN)-γ, or G-CSF. However, receptors for IL-3, GM-CSF, and IL-5 interacted with each other on the basophil membrane, showing a unique spectrum of cross-reactivity, with IL-3 competing for GM-CSF and IL-5 binding, whereas GM-CSF and IL-5 showed little or no competition for IL-3 binding. In order to relate the binding properties of these cytokines to function, they were tested for their ability to influence basophil histamine release in an IgE/anti-IgE-dependent system. We found a hierarchy in the stimulation of basophil with the order of potency being IL-3 〉GM-CSF 〉IL-5. In addition, IL-3 stimulated larger amounts of histamine release than GM-CSF or IL-5. The observation that IL-3 interacts with receptors for GM-CSF and IL-5 may have a bearing on its stronger functional effects and suggests a major role for IL-3 in the pathogenesis of hypersensitivity syndromes.

    Notizen: Interactive regulation of gene expression by retinoic acid (RA) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in mammary tumor cells was explored using Shionogi mouse mammary carcinoma cells (SC115) as a model and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) as a target gene product. Twenty-four hour treatment of SC115 cells with 100 nM RA, 1 mM 8-bromo-cAMP (BrcAMP), and 100 nM RA + 1 mM BrcAMP resulted in extracellular uPA activity increases of 1.4-fold, sevenfold, and 20-fold, respectively. These effects were dose-dependent with regard to both interacting members. Similar responses were obtained if 1 nM cholera toxin or 10 μM forskolin was used instead of the cAMP analog. Retinoids lacking the carboxylic acid function were inactive. The changes in uPA activity were accompanied by similar changes in uPA antigen concentration, as seen via Western blot analysis, and uPA mRNA abundance, as seen via Northern blot analysis. Actinomycin D, an inhibitor of RNA synthesis, blocked uPA stimulation by BrcAMP, suggesting that mRNA levels were transcriptionally regulated. The effect of BrcAMP on extracellular uPA activity was first evident at 2 h and peaked at 6 h; the effect of RA alone and the synergistic response to joint treatment, however, followed a slower time course, requiring at least 12 h for initial expression and increasing gradually with time up to at least 48 h. Priming with RA for 48 h followed by extensive washing of the cells resulted in a threefold enhancement of the stimulatory effect of BrcAMP on uPA. Experiments utilizing the casein/plasminogen overlay method for the detection of uPA secretion by single cells showed that the enhanced response to BrcAMP was due to an increased rate of uPA secretion per cell rather than to an increased fraction of uPA-secreting cells. Initial investigation of the mechanism of RA potentiation of cAMP responsiveness showed that RA did not alter cellular cAMP levels or total cAMP-dependent protein kinase A activity. Finally, the tumor promoter phorbol myristate acetate, an activator of protein kinase C, also increased SC115 cell uPA activity and synergized with RA. This raised the possibility that the enhancement of cAMP responsiveness by RA was indirectly mediated via an effect on protein kinase C. Experiments with protein kinase C-depleted cells, however, showed that this was not the case. In conclusion, RA treatment of SC115 cells potentiates the effect of cAMP on uPA expression at the single cell level via a partially irreversible mechanism independent of protein kinase C. The molecular target of RA and whether SC115 cell differentiation underlies the effect of RA remain to be established.

    Notizen: 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.

    Notizen: A subcellular fraction containing fragments of endogenous microtubules stabilized in 50% glycerol was separated by diferential centrifugation of rat brain homogenates. The pellets were suspended in glycerol-deficient media, and microtubule depolymerization was monitored by measuring the decrease of sedimentable tubulin. Concomitantly, the number and size of microlubules in the suspensions were followed via electron microscopy. Depolymerization was accompanied by a proportional decrease in the number of microtubules, whereas the average size did not change significantly. After approximately 20 min, a subpopulation of microtubules became stable and did not suffer further depolymerization. These results indicate that upon dilution some microtubules completely depolymerize, whereas others remain stable in the glycerol-deficient medium. The degree of depolymerization depended on both the volume of the resuspension media and on the final glycerol concentration. The results suggest that the depolymerization of the remaining microtubules is prevented by stabilizing factors released from depolymerizing microtubules. Tubulin dimers are not one of these factors, since depolymerization was not altered by the addition ofcolchicine or by changing the concentration of free tubulin in the medium.

    Notizen: We analyzed the expression of hexose transporters in human testis and in human, rat, and bull spermatozoa and studied the uptake of hexoses and vitamin C in bull spermatozoa. Immunocytochemical and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analyses demonstrated that adult human testis expressed the hexose transporters GLUT1, GLUT2, GLUT3, GLUT4, and GLUT5. Immunoblotting experiments demonstrated the presence of proteins of about 50-70 kD reactive with anti-GLUT1, GLUT2, GLUT3, and GLUT5 in membranes prepared from human spermatozoa, but no proteins reactive with GLUT4 antibodies were detected. Immunolocalization experiments confirmed the presence of GLUT1, GLUT2, GLUT3, GLUT5, and low levels of GLUT4 in human, rat, and bull spermatozoa. Each transporter isoform showed a typical subcellular localization in the head and the sperm tail. In the tail, GLUT3 and GLUT5 were present at the level of the middle piece in the three species examined, GLUT1 was present in the principal piece, and the localization of GLUT2 differed according of the species examined. Bull spermatozoa transported deoxyglucose, fructose, and the oxidized form of vitamin C, dehydroascorbic acid. Transport of deoxyglucose and dehydroascorbic acid was inhibited by cytochalasin B, indicating the direct participation of facilitative hexose transporters in the transport of both substrates by bull spermatozoa. Transport of fructose was not affected by cytochalasin B, which is consistent for an important role for GLUT5 in the transport of fructose in these cells. The data show that human, rat, and bull spermatozoa express several hexose transporter isoforms that allow for the efficient uptake of glucose, fructose, and dehydroascorbic acid by these cells. J.

    Notizen: The protective effect of melatonin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced oxidative damage in phenobarbital-treated rats was measured using the following parameters: changes in total glutathione (tGSH) concentration, levels of oxidized glutathione (GSSG), the activity of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) in both brain and liver, and the content of cytochrome P450 reductase in liver. Melatonin was injected intraperitoneally (ip, 4mg/kg BW) every hour for 4 h after LPS administration; control animals received 4 injections of diluent. LPS was given (ip, 4 mg/kg) 6 h before the animals were killed. Prior to the LPS injection, animals were pretreated with phenobarbital (PB), a stimulator of cytochrome P450 reductase, at a dose 80 mg/kg BW ip for 3 consecutive days. One group of animals received LPS together with Nw-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), a blocker of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) (for 4 days given in drinking water at a concentration of 50 mM). In liver, PB, in all groups, increased significantly both the concentration of tGSH and the activity of GSH-PX. When the animals were injected with LPS the levels of tGSH and GSSG were significantly higher compared with other groups while melatonin and L-NAME significantly enhanced tGSH when compared with that in the LPS-treated rats. Melatonin alone reduced GSSG levels and enhanced the activity of GSH-PX in LPS-treated animals. Additionally, LPS diminished the content of cytochrome P450 reductase with this effect being largely prevented by L-NAME administration. Melatonin did not change the content of P450 either in PB- or LPS-treated animals. In brain, melatonin and L-NAME increased both tGSH levels and the activity of GSH-PX in LPS-treated animals. The results suggest that melatonin protects against LPS-induced oxidative toxicity in PB-treated animals in both liver and brain, and the findings are consistent with previously published observations related to the antioxidant activity of the pineal hormone.

    Notizen: The histology of the ovotestis was studied by light and electron microscopy in two nudibranch gastropod species. While in Hypselodoris tricolor the ovotestis is intimately associated with the digestive gland tissue, the large gonadal mass of Godiva banyulensis is placed freely in the haemocoele. This fact results in great histological differences between both species.As is common among Mollusca, the immature yolk granule in Hypselodoris and Godiva presumably originates from membrane-rich cytoplasmic inclusions, which we have termed dense multivesicular bodies. Such inclusions consist of an outer membrane enclosing membrane remnants and a granular, electron-dense material. These elements are accumulated and mixed in the center of the dense multivesicular body and could be actually transformed into the paracrystalline core of the immature yolk granule, the cortex of which is made up of part of the central accumulation materials that have not spread into the crystal. During vitellogenesis, some mitochondria are subjected to a process of transformation affecting mainly their inner membrane (including mitochondrial cristae) and matrix. However, the conversion of modified mitochondria into yolk precursors, as reported for other gastropod species, could not be determined with absolute certainty on the basis of our observations on static material.The mature yolk granule consists of a central paracrystalline core, similar in structure to that of the immature yolk granule, and a peripheral membranous cortex, which seems to spread centripetally, thus permitting the crystal to grow. The cortical material consumed in synthesizing the central core appears to be restored by addition of degenerative mitochondria to the yolk granule surface.
