    Notes: A method for preparing various forms of acetylcholinesterase (A ChE) from chicken brain has been developed and they have been characterized in terms of kinetic parameters such as Km, rate constant (k), turnover number (kp), specificity constant (ksp), Vmax and half-life (t1/2). The solubility experiments show that, there are two major forms of A ChE i.e. water-soluble and membrane-bound A ChE (MBA ChE). The MBA ChE shows several subforms, and on the basis of percentage activity only three MBA ChE forms have been selected for complete characterization by various kinetic parameters. It was found that these three forms of MBA ChE demonstrate significant differences in their kinetic properties.

    Notes: The characteristics of the enzyme γ-glutamyltranspeptidase were determined in frog liver and compared to those of the rat. In Rana pipiens, tissue distribution studies indicated the order of activity to be: kidney 〉〉〉 liver 〉〉 nerve 〉 egg 〉 lung 〉 heart 〉 skeletal muscle in homogenates. In the Rana pipiens relative to the Fischer 344 rat, the activity of the liver enzyme was somewhat greater (1·8-fold) and the kidney enzyme substantially less (25-fold). Frog liver γ-glutamyltranspeptidase displayed strain-dependent differences in activity with Rana pipiens and Rana sylvatica exhibiting comparable activities and Xenopus laevis exhibiting 20-fold lower activities. No influence of sex was apparent in Rana pipiens in contrast to the sex dependent differences observed in the Fischer 344 rat: ♀ : ♂ = 7:1. In homogenates and plasma membrane fractions of Rana pipiens, Xenopus laevis and the Fischer 344 rat, high, and comparable relative specific activities, were observed, 8-11, coupled with protein yields of 2·2-2·5 per cent indicating the enzyme to be plasma membrane bound and associated with the sinusoidal surface of the liver cell. Both the frog Rana pipiens and Xenopus laevis and Fischer 344 rat liver plasma membrane enzymes displayed comparable temperature-induced activation (1·51-1·74-fold) but with a peak for the frogs at 60°C and for the rat at 50°C. Both Acivicin and maleate inhibited the liver plasma membrane γ-glutamyltranspeptidase of both Rana pipiens and the Fischer 344 rat, but the frog enzyme was less sensitive (89 per cent decrease versus 97 per cent decrease) to 150 μM Acivicin and more sensitive (65 per cent decrease versus 35 per cent decrease at 150 mM maleate) to maleate. Kinetic studies indicated that the liver plasma membrane enzyme from Rana pipiens had a Km of 0·61 mM and Vmax of 55·6 nmol mg-1 min-1 and that from the Fischer 344 rat had a Km of 3·57 mM and Vmax of 71·4 nmol mg-1 min-1.

    Notes: Mouse hepatocytes from healthy control mice and from Ehrlich ascites tumour-bearing mice were used for tracer-kinetic studies of purine catabolism of liver cells during different periods of tumour growth. The dynamics of the radioactive tracers were modelled mathematically by a system of differential equations. Computer simulations, i.e. direct fitting of numerical solutions of these equations to the observed time-courses of metabolites and specific radioactivites, enables one to estimate unknown kinetic parameters of a simplified model of pathways of hepatic purine catabolism in tumour-bearing mice.There occurred great differences of metabolic flux rates between control hepatocytes, hepatocytes of mice during the proliferating period of tumour growth (6th day after inoculation of the tumour) and hepatocytes of mice during the resting period of tumour growth (12th day after inoculation of the tumour). The final purine degradation of hepatocytes prepared during the proliferating period was lower in comparison with that of control hepatocytes, but it was markedly higher in hepatocytes prepared during the resting period of tumour growth. The changes in hepatocyte purine catabolism during the proliferating period of tumour growth argue for transitions which aim at the maintenance of high purine nucleotide levels in the liver itself rather than for an increased nucleoside and nucleobase supply for the tumour. This suggestion is in accordance with the increased ATP level of the liver during the proliferating phase of tumour growth. The drastic acceleration of the final steps of hepatic purine catabolism forming uric acid and allantoin during the resting period of tumour growth was predominantly due to increased flux rate from xanthosine and guanine in accordance with increased catabolism of monophosphorylated nucleotides.

    Enalapril maleate affects 2-oxoglutarate metabolism in mitochondria from the rat kidney cortex (1994)

    Notes: Enalapril maleate (EM) is the salt of N-{(S)-1-(ethoxycarbonyl)-3-phenylpropyl}-L-alanyl-L-proline, used therapeutically as an anti-hypertensive agent. The effects of EM on some aspects of the energy metabolism and membrane properties of mitochondria from rat liver and kidney cortex were studied, but only the latter were significantly affected. With 0·8 mM of EM and 2-oxoglutarate as oxidizable substrate for isolated mitochondria from rat kidney cortex, the findings were: (a) inhibition of the respiratory rate in state III (37 per cent) and decrease (45 per cent) in respiratory control ratio (RCR), with only one addition of ADP; (b) reinforcement of the inhibition when a second addition of ADP was made; (c) no significant effect either on the rate of respiration in state IV or on the ADP/O ratio; (d) no effect on the ATPase activity of mitochondria from liver or kidney cortex; (e) inhibition of the transmembrane potential (Δψ) after a second addition of ADP; (f) inhibition of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. It is suggested that in kidney mitochondria, EM interferes in the gluconeogenesis dependence of at least five substrates: 2-oxoglutarate, glutamine, glutamate, lactate, and pyruvate. Also EM may inhibit Na+/H+ exchange causing natriuresis.

    Notes: 4-Hydroxynonenal (HNE) is produced during peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It exerts a chemokinetic effect on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). Investigations of this mechanism were performed. The results indicate that [3H]-HNE binding to PMN results both in non-specific bonds to the numerous SH groups of the cells and in binding to a saturable, reversible and specific HNE site. Scatchard analysis revealed that this is a single site with an apparent affinity constant of 319 nM and a density of 1·57 pmol (106)-1 cells. This specific binding site may be involved in the chemokinetic effect of HNE.

    Notes: New drugs are generally developed against animal models of the human disease. Before they are subjected to clinical trials it might be helpful to be able to test whether they are as effective against the disease in human tissue as they were in animals. It is proposed that this can be achieved by the use of organ maintenance culture of the human diseased tissue, the relevant biochemical parameters being measured by quantitative cytochemistry. In the present studies differences between the effect of indomethacin and of the ‘chondroprotective’ drug diclofenac sodium, on human osteoarthritic cartilage, have been measured.

    No discrete complexes containing DNA polymerase α activity can be solubilized from the heat-stabilized nuclear matrix prepared from HeLa S3 cells (1994)

    Notes: Most of the DNA polymerase α activity, bound to the heat-stabilized nuclear matrix prepared from HeLa S3 cells, was released as a matrix extract by sonication. When the extract was centrifuged in a 5-20 per cent linear sucrose gradient no definite peaks of activity could be identified. Most of the activity sedimented to the bottom of the tube under all the conditions tested, whilst the remaining activity was associated with matrix fragments of various and irregular size. No 10 S complexes, containing polymerase activity, were seen after incubation of the extract for 16 h before centrifugation. Other solubilization procedures (i.e. treatment of the matrix with chelating agents, high pH associated with reducing agents, ionic and nonionic detergents) failed to produce release of matrix-bound DNA polymerase α activity. In contrast, we released 10 S complexes, containing polymerase activity, from the matrix prepared from nuclei not exposed to heat. We conclude that a 37°C incubation of isolated nuclei before extraction with 2 M NaCl and DNase I digestion causes DNA polymerase α to bind to the nuclear matrix in a form that cannot subsequently be released as discrete components, at variance with previous results obtained with the matrix prepared from regenerating rat liver.

    Mechanism by which ethanol inhibits phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis in human leukemic monocyte-like U937 cells (1994)

    Notes: A previous study showing that ethanol (ETOH) blocked [3H]choline incorporation into phosphatidylcholine (PC) suggested an inhibition of PC biosynthesis in human leukemic monocyte-like U937 cells. The mechanism of the inhibitory action of ETOH was investigated. Cells were pulsed with [3H]choline for 30 min and chased in the presence or absence of ETOH for up to 6 h. PC biosynthesis was inhibited drastically within 1 h after exposure to ETOH which increased intracellular cAMP appreciably. After a 3-h treatment, ETOH significantly inhibited both choline kinase (CK) and the cytosolic CTP: cholinephosphate cytidylyltransferase (CT). The inactivated CT was no longer stimulated by exogenous phosphatidylglycerol (PG). There was no evidence for redistribution of CT activity between cytosol and microsomes. When cells were exposed to 8-Bromo-cAMP ranging from 100 to 300 μM, PC biosynthesis remained unaffected despite the drastically elevated cAMP. These results seem to suggest that the raised cAMP is not a prerequisite for the inhibition of PC biosynthesis in U937 cells. Following pretreatment with protein kinase inhibitors (H-89 and K-252a), PC biosynthesis was decreased significantly and the inhibitory effect of ETOH was potentiated. Taken together, our results suggest that the inhibition of PC biosynthesis and the inhibitory effect of ETOH are independent of the activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Unlike protein kinase inhibitors, pretreatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (erbstatin, genistein and tyrphostin 25) resulted in differential effects on PC biosynthesis and on the inhibitory action of ETOH. Genistein stimulated PC biosynthesis by 30 per cent as well as partially preventing /reversing the ETOH action, while tyrphostin 25 produced a synergistic inhibition. The relevance of tyrosine phosphorylation/dephosphorylation to the regulation of PC biosynthesis and ETOH action remains to be established.

    Lidocaine inhibits choline uptake and phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis in human leukemic monocyte-like U937 cells (1994)

    Notes: The effect of lidocaine on [3H]choline uptake and the incorporation of label into phosphatidylcholine (PC) in human monocyte-like U937 cells was investigated. Lidocaine inhibited the rate of choline uptake in a dose-dependent manner; at 3·2 mM it resulted in a drastic reduction, by as much as 65 per cent (n = 10; p 〈 0·0005) or 55 per cent (n = 10; p 〈 0·0006) in a 3- or 6-h incubation, respectively. Lidocaine also decreased the rate of choline incorporation into PC in a dose-dependent manner. At the highest dose, nearly 70 per cent or 45 per cent reduction was seen in a 3- or 6-h incubation, respectively. Analysis of choline-containing metabolites showed that the major label association with phosphocholine and PC was reduced to a similar extent which was also parallel to the inhibition of choline uptake. At 3·2 mM lidocaine, the reduction of choline uptake was shown to follow a competitive inhibition. In the case of [3H] choline incorporation into PC, the inhibitory pattern was shown to be of a mixed type. The pulse-chase study dissecting the effect on choline metabolism from that on total choline uptake indicated that lidocaine exerted an additionally inhibitory effect on intracellular choline metabolism into PC. In a separate protocol in which the labelled cells were first allowed to be chased until 3H-incorporation into PC reached a steady state, lidocaine no longer showed any effect. These results seem to exclude the possibility of enhanced PC breakdown and further suggest that the main inhibitory effect is on the CDP-choline pathway for PC biosynthesis. After a 3-h treatment, CTP: cholinephosphate cytidylyltransferase (CYT) in both the cytosolic and microsomal fractions was inhibited by approximately 20 per cent, while choline kinase (CK) and choline phosphotransferase (CPT) remain relatively unchanged. There was no evidence for translocation of CYT between cytosol and microsomes. Taken together, we have demonstrated a dual inhibitory function of lidocaine which inhibits PC biosynthesis in addition to its ability to block choline uptake profoundly in U937 cells.

    Notes: The effects of either radiation or hyperthermia on the differentiation potential of NG108-15, a neuroblastoma-glioma hybrid cell line, were studied. After radiation and hyperthermia, the outgrowth of neurites from NG108-15 cells was potentiated, and polarizing current and voltage pulses induced a distinct action potential and a diphasic (inward following outward) current, respectively. An increase in the specific activity of acetylcholinesterase was also observed. In addition, both treatments induced an elevation of the concentration of intracellular calcium in some cells. The increase in intracellular calcium concentration caused by applying the calcium ionophore, A23187, induced differentiation. It is suggested that both the radiation- and the hyperthermia-induced increases of electrical excitability and acetylcholinesterase activity may have originated from an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration.

    Notes: We have investigated whether or not ATP or other nucleoside di- and trisphosphates (including some nonhydrolysable ATP analogues) can stimulate the activity and/or the processivity of DNA polymerase α associated with the nuclear matrix obtained from HeLa S3 cell nuclei that had been stabilized at 37°C prior to subfractionation, as has been reported previously for DNA polymerase α bound to the nuclear matrix prepared from 22-h regenerating rat liver. We have found that HeLa cell matrix-associated DNA polymerase α activity could not be stimulated at all by ATP or other nucleotides, a behaviour which was shared also by DNA polymerase α activity that solubilizes from cells during the isolation of nuclei and that is thought to be a form of the enzyme not actively engaged in DNA replication. Moreover, the processivity of matrix-bound DNA polymerase α activity was low (〈 10 nucleotides). These results were obtained with the matrix prepared with either 2M NaCl or 0·25 M (NH4)2SO4 and led us to consider that a 37° incubation of isolated nuclei renders resistant to high-salt extraction a form of DNA polymerase α which is unlikely to be involved in DNA replication in vivo.

    Notes: The intracellular effect of dexamethasone (DXME) on the activity and gene expression of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) was studied in Syrian hamster embryo cells (SHE). The ODC activity (expressed as nmoles decarboxylated ornithine mg-1 protein h-1) was 4·61 ± 0·14 in untreated cells, whereas it increased to 14·38 ± 0·26 after 5h treatment with 1·6 × 10-7 M TPA. In contrast, DXME (2·5 × 10-5 M) reduced the ODC activity by 50 per cent to 2·35 ± 0·22. In cells co-treated for 5 h with TPA and DXME, ODC acitivity decreased to the level of the untreated cells. However, when DXME was added 3 h after TPA treatment for 2 h, in the continuous presence of TPA, the ODC activity unexpectedly increased further to 16·44 ± 1·05. The modulation of ODC activity correlated partly with the level of ODC mRNA. Thus when cells were treated with TPA, and ODC mRNA increased threefold, whereas it decreased by 30 per cent when the cells were exposed to DXME. In TPA-DXME co-treated cells, as in TPA pretreated cells followed by DXME for 2 h, a decrease (31·25 per cent and 12·5 per cent respectively) was observed in ODC mRNA. In turnover studies, DXME was found to increase the stability of ODC; the discrepancy between ODC activity and ODC mRNA levels could result from an inhibitory effect of the corticoid on proteolysis of ODC.Studies of lysosomal protease showed that the activities of cathepsins L, B and H decreased following TPA treatment. DXME also inhibited cathepsin L and B activities, but stimulated cathepsin H. Analysis of neutral cytosolic protease activity by gelatin and casein zymograms showed that TPA strongly stimulated the activity of a 70 kDa gelatinase. DXME was able to inhibit the induction of such cytosolic proteases under all the treatment conditions. When the cytosolic protein was incubated in vitro, at 37°C, in the presence of 2 mM CaCl2, the ODC activity decreased by 50 per cent after 30 min incubation. Further decrease was achieved when p-amino-phenylmercuric acetate, a protease activator, was added. Proteolytic activity was not inhibited after the addition of 10 μg ml-1 of TIMP-1. In contrast, the addition of EDTA restored the ODC activity completely.We postulate that modification of the 70 kDa cytosolic metalloprotease activity could interact with the post-transcriptional regulation of ODC.

    Notes: Ferricyanide reductase activity of plasma membranes isolated from Ehrlich ascites tumour cells was very sensitive to trypsin treatment. The decreases of activity observed after treatment with different glycosidases suggests that ferricyanide reductase is a glycoprotein. The opposite effects of phospholipase A2 and phospholipase C on the redox activity indicate that the phospholipidic environment plays an important role in the function of ferricyanide reductase. Sodium ions at millimolar concentrations, and some divalent cations at micromolar concentrations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Sr2+, and Mn2+) behaved as stimulators of ferricyanide reductase activity.

    Notes: Glycogen accumulation in pancreatic islet cells in situations of sustained hyperglycaemia may participate in the phenomenon of so-called B-cell glucotoxicity. Unexpectedly, however, previously little if any glycogen was found in islet cells of non-insulin-dependent diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats (GK rats). Therefore, the activities of glycogen synthase, glycogen phosphorylase and α-amylase were measured in islets of control and GK rats. No significant difference in enzymatic activity was observed between the control and diabetic animals. In the liver, the activity of glycogen synthase appeared even somewhat higher in GK rats than in control animals. It is concluded that the diabetic syndrome in the GK rats does not involve any major anomaly of glycogen synthase and glycogen phosphorylase activity in the liver of these animals, as well as α-amylase, in pancreatic islets.

    Notes: The impact of season and temperature on frog liver γ-glutamyltranspeptidase was assessed by measuring the activity of this enzyme in plasma membranes isolated from the livers of Rana pipiens obtained as summer and winter frogs; subjected to short-term (3 weeks) temperature acclimation; and subjected to multiple-temperature shifts. Plasma levels of T3 were determined. γ-Glutamyltranspeptidase was found to be 2·2-fold higher in the summer frog relative to the winter frog; decreased by 44 percent in the summer frog by cold acclimation and increased by 1·7-fold in the winter frog by warm acclimation; and increased by 1·9-fold in the summer frog and 2·8-fold in the winter frog subjected to multiple-temperature shifts. Plasma T3 levels were found to be 42-fold higher in the summer frog relative to the winter frog; decreased by 42 percent by cold acclimation and increased by 2·9-fold by warm acclimation; and decreased by 39 percent and 38 percent in the summer and winter frogs subjected to multiple temperature shifts. T3 replacement during the last phase of the multiple-temperature shift protocol, restored the plasma T3 levels to 75 percent of the control levels and prevented the increase evoked by the multiple-temperature shifts in γ-glutamyl-transpeptidase activity. Indeed, enzyme activity in the T3 replaced state was 19 percent lower than in the control state. The involvement of thyroid hormone as a negative regulator of enzyme activity is discussed.

    Notes: A comparison has been made between the effects of 4-hydroxy-2,3-trans-nonenal (HNE) and 4-hydroxy-2,3-trans-octenal (HOE), two lipid peroxidation products, on the basal and GTPgammaS-stimulated activities of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PL-C) of rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes. PL-C activity was determined in vitro by measuring the hydrolysis of [3H] phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bis-phosphate (PtdIns-P2) added as exogenous substrate to neutrophil plasma membranes. PL-C was activated by concentrations of HNE ranging from 10-8 to 10-6 M both in the presence and in the absence of 2 × 10-5 M GTPgammaS; HOE stimulated the enzymatic activity between 10-11 and 10-8 M; maximal stimulation was given by 10-11 M HOE plus GTPgammaS. The aldehyde concentrations able to accelerate PtdIns-P2 breakdown displayed a good correspondence with those which have been reported to stimulate the oriented migration of rat neutrophils. Pretreatment of neutrophils with pertussis toxin prevented the stimulation of PL-C by 10-11 M HOE and by HOE plus GTPgammaS. Our results suggest that the chemotactic action of HNE and HOE might depend on the activation of PL-C; furthermore a regulatory G protein appears to be involved in the acceleration of PtdIns-P2 turnover by HOE.

    Notes: The present report describes experiments to evaluate phospholipid methyltransferase activity in golden hamster spermatozoa incubated under different conditions. Washed cauda epididymal sperm were incubated with taurine, in the presence or absence of epinephrine. At various times, the sperm were separated, and phospholipid methyltransferase activity measured. Also, at each time, aliquots of the sperm suspension were assayed for motility, and acrosome reactions. Some sperm incubated in the presence of taurine and epinephrine were capacitated by 3·5 h, because about 40 per cent of them can undergo the acrosome reaction 10 min after addition of the fusogen lysophosphatidylcholine. In epinephrine-free incubations the fusogen failed to stimulated acrosome reactions. On the other hand, epinephrine stimulated by twofold phospholipid methyltransferase activity from ‘0 time’ incubated sperm, in comparison to that observed in taurine-treated cells. Enzyme activities from both taurine or epinephrine plus taurine-treated cells decreased as the incubation time of the sperm suspension increased. Kinetic properties of the sperm phospholipid methyltransferase acvity were modified by the presence of taurine and epinephrine when S-adenosylmethionine was used as the substrate. These results suggest that refined molecular events occur in the sperm cell during the acquisition of fertilizing ability.

    Notes: The regulation of intracellular creatine concentration in mammalian cells is poorly understood, but is thought to depend upon active sodium-linked uptake of creatine from extracellular fluid. In normal human erythrocytes, creatine influx into washed cells was inhibited by 40 per cent in the absence of extracellular sodium. In washed cells from uraemic patients, sodium-independent creatine influx was normal, whereas the sodium-dependent component of creatine influx was 3·3 times higher than normal, possibly relecting the reduced mean age of uraemic erythrocytes. In spite of this, the intracellular creatine concentration was no higher than normal in uraemic erythrocytes, implying that some factor in uraemic plasma in vivo inhibits sodium-dependent creatine influx. Both in normal and uraemic erythrocytes, the creatine concentration was 10 times that in plasma, and the concentration in the cells showed no detectable dependence on that in plasma, suggesting that the intracellular creatine concentration is controlled by an active saturable process. Active sodium-dependent accumulation of creatine was also demonstrated in L6 rat myoblasts and was inhibited when transport was measured in the presence of 10-4M ouabain or digoxin, implying that uptake was driven by the transmembrane sodium gradient. However, when creatine influx was measured immediately after ouabain or digoxin had been washed away, it was higher than in control cells, suggesting that Na,K-ATPase and/or sodium-linked creatine transport are up-regulated when treated with inhibitors of Na,K-ATPase.

    Effect of omeprazole on secretion, synthesis and the gene expression of pepsinogen in the guinea pig stomach mucosa (1994)

    Notes: The effects of omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, on gene expression, protein synthesis, intracellular storage and secretion of pepsinogen in guinea pig stomach were investigated.After treatment with omeprazole for five days, acid and pepsinogen secretion into the gastric lumen was significantly reduced. Concomitant with this, there was an increase in intracellular pepsinogen as demonstrated by increased pepsin activity in the gastric mucosa, more intense immunohistochemical staining by antibodies specific of pepsinogen and accumulation of secretory granules in the cells producing pepsinogen. In these cells, the amount for pepsinogen mRNA was reduced as revealed by Northern blotting and in situ hybridization. Ultrastructurally the endoplasmic reticulum of these cells was poorly developed, the findings being consistent with a reduction in protein synthesis. It appears that omeprazole inhibits the secretion of pepsinogen, increasing the intracellular store and leading to the reduction in gene expression probably by a feedback mechanism and consequent reduction in pepsinogen synthesis. Since these changes were most evident in the acid-secreting fundic gland mucosa, as compared with other mucosae secreting only pepsinogen, namely pyloric and duodenal mucosa, it appears probable that these changes are linked with omeprazole-induced reduction in the acid secretion.

    Notes: 4-Hydroxynonenal (HNE) degradation was investigated in isolated perfused rat hearts of the WKY and SHR strains before and after ischemia. HNE (10 μmoles l-1) were infused and the concentration of HNE in the effluent was determined. The rate of initial consumption was about 50 nmoles min-1 g-1 wet weight in hearts of both the WKY and SHR rats. In the WKY rat hearts, this rate of HNE degradation did not change during several minutes of HNE infusion and also remained constant during postischemic reperfusion. In the hearts of the SHR rats the HNE degradation rate declined within 5 min to 25 nmoles min-1 g-1 wet weight. Also during postischemic reperfusion, there was a lower HNE degradation rate in the SHR rat hearts than in the WKY rat hearts. The influence of hypertrophy on the rate of HNE degradation is discussed. It is suggested that the low degradation of the cytotoxic lipid peroxidation product, HNE, in hypertrophic hearts may contribute to reduced antioxidant defence in those hearts.

    Notes: Taxol is an anti-mitotic agent now being used in the treatment of some cancers, although the manner of its interaction with the microtubular components of the cytoskeleton is still not fully characterized. Here we report the effects of taxol upon a huge, naturally occurring and experimentally amenable aggregate of parallel microtubules from the ovaries of hemipteran insects. Within seconds of exposure to taxol, the microtubule aggregate began to twist upon itself. After a few minutes this movement was complete, the drug having brought about a gross rearrangement of the microtubules, involving coiling on a massive scale. The final form assumed by the microtubule array was influenced by pH and by the presence of microtubule-associated proteins, salt, cations, and both hydrolysable and non-hydrolysable nucleotides. The possible mechanisms leading to this rapid structural change are considered.

    Notes: The possibility that inositol lipid metabolism is related to nuclear events accompanying steroid hormone action has been investigated by comparing lipid phosphorylation and breakdown in normal rat liver nuclei and in hypo- and hypercortisolemic conditions. Lipid phosphorylation in vitro showed the presence of diacylglycerol (DAG)-, phosphatidylinositol (PI)- and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP)-kinase activity, with differences between total tissue homogenates and isolated nuclei, relevant to the treatment in vivo. Administration of hydrocortisone (HC) produced a marked decrease in the phosphorylated nuclear products without influencing the homogenate kinase activity. Under conditions which were optimal for the kinase activities, nuclear PIP-kinase was strongly increased in presence of a high blood level of HC whereas PI-kinase activity was reduced. From these observations it appears that the observed differences were due to specific modulation of kinase activities rather than to changes in the availability of substrates.The phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) activity was also investigated. In the presence of a high HC blood level, the phosphodiesteratic cleavage of PIP strongly increased, while that of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP2) was similar in normal and hypercortisolemic conditions. Nuclear phosphoinositide hydrolysis was affected by PLC, β and γ isoforms, which were equally represented in all the conditions investigated, indicating that the observed changes of activity were due to a modulation rather than to a change in the amount of enzyme.These results suggest that inositol lipid metabolism plays a role in the nuclear modifications accompanying steroid hormone induction of transcriptional activity.

    Notes: Hexokinase inactivating antibodies were loaded into human erythrocytes using an encapsulation procedure based on hypotonic haemolysis, isotonic resealing and reannealing. Red blood cells loaded with anti-hexokinase IgG showed 20 percent residual hexokinase activity and reduced glycolytic activity. 9Incubation of these cells in the presence of an oxidizing agent such as terbutyl hydroperoxide (TBH) and then in autologous plasma, promoted opsonization by autologous IgG and complement deposition, but not haemolysis. Furthermore, the antihexokinase IgG loaded cells treated with TBH were actively recognized and phagocytosed by macrophages. Thus, metabolic impairment of human erthrocytes promotes autologous IgG binding, C3 deposition and phagocytosis, a mechanism already reported for the removal of senescent erythrocytes.

    Notes: Total energy production in rabbit reticulocytes amounted to 136·52 ± 6·50μmol ATP h-1ml-1 of reticulocytes: 88·3 per cent was provided by oxidative phosphorylation, whereas only 11·7 per cent by aerobic glycolysis. Na+K+-ATPase accounted for 23 per cent, i.e. 27·65 ± 2·55μmol ATP h-1ml-1 of reticulocytes, in the overall energy consumption in reticulocytes of rabbits. Under basal conditions ATP for Na+K+-ATPase activity was derived exclusively from oxidative phosphorylation. However, when the activity of Na+K+-ATPase was increased due to the stimulation of adenylate cyclase by (-)-isoprenaline, the additional energy required was provided by aerobic glycolysis. These results indicate that two different compartments, one cytosolic and the other mitochondrial, provide energy for Na+K+-ATPase activity in reticulocytes.

    Stimulation of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis by hemicholinium-3, a potent inhibitor of choline uptake in human leukemic monocyte-like U937 cells (1994)

    Notes: The effect of hemicholinium-3 (HC-3) on choline uptake and phosphatidylcholine (PC) biosynthesis was examined in human leukemic monocyte-like U937 cells. HC-3 inhibited [3H]choline uptake in a dose- and time-dependent manner. After a 3 h treatment, HC-3 (100 μM) decreased choline uptake by as much as 80 per cent (p 〈 0·0001; n = 4). Reduction of incorporation of label into PC was also detected in a dose-dependent manner; the extent of inhibition, however, was always 10-20 per cent less than that observed in the total uptake. At 3 h HC-3 decreased the incorporation into PC by 65 per cent (p 〈 0·0001; n = 5). Kinetic studies in vivo showed that HC-3 inhibited total uptake and incorporation into PC differently, suggesting that the labelling of PC is not simply dictated by [3H]choline uptake. In separate experiments, cells were pretreated with 100 μM HC-3 for 3 h. After washing, the inhibitory effect on total uptake was no longer observed, while a 20 per cent stimulation of the incorporation into PC was obtained in these pretreated cells. In pulse-chase studies, the cells were prelabelled with [3H]choline for 30 min and chased with HC-3 for up to 3 h; the results showed a significant stimulation of incorporation into PC in a longer chase with 100 μM HC-3. After a 3 h treatment, the cytosolic CTP:cholinephosphate cytidylytransferase (CT) was activated by 56 per cent, while choline kinase (CK) was inhibited slightly. The stimulation of CT was not simply due to the intact HC-3 molecule, and there was no redistribution of CT between cytosol and microsomes. Taken together, the results suggest that HC-3 activates PC biosynthesis apart from the inhibitory effect on choline uptake.

    Notes: The activities of DNA topoisomerase I and II and the relative proportions of the histone H1 subtypes were investigated in rat liver which was undergoing hypertrophy and exhibiting increased transcriptional activity following the administration of dexamethasone. There was a rise in the level of activity of DNA topoisomerase I and a slight fall in that of DNA topoisomerase II. The relative proportions of the H1 subtypes were altered due to a preferential increase in H1.1. The results are discussed in relation to the effect of glucocorticoids on the transcription and replication of hepatic DNA.

    Notes: Pyruvate transport and carboxylation have been determined in mitochondria from liver and kidney cortex isolated from Wistar rats with acidosis produced by three different treatments: fasting, exercise and ingestion of ammonium chloride. Fasting for 48 h or swimming for 2 h resulted in an increased rate of CO2 fixation by mitochondria from both organs incubated with pyruvate. This increase was accompanied by a rise in the rate of pyruvate transport in all cases except in mitochondria derived from the kidney of the fasted animals. Acute acidosis produced by the ingestion of ammonium chloride resulted in increases in pyruvate transport and carboxylation in kidney mitochondria, but a drop in pyruvate carboxylation was observed in mitochondria from the liver. The results are discussed in terms of the differential regulation of the mitochondria steps for gluconeogenesis from three carbon precursors in liver and kidney, taking into consideration the hormonal status of the animals and the prevailing available substrates in each condition.

    Notes: The synthesis of uric acid from purine bases, nucleosides and nucleotides has been measured in reaction mixtures containing rat liver supernatant and each one of the following compounds at 1 mM concentration (except xanthine, 0·5 mM and guanosine and guanine, 0·1 mM). The rates of the reaction, expressed as nanomoles of uric acid synthesized g-1 of wet liver min-1 were: ATP, 10; ADP, 37; AMP, 62; adenosine, 108; adenine 6; adenylo-succinate, 9; IMP 32; inosine, 112; hypoxanthine, 50; GTP, 19; GDP, 19; GMP, 27; guanosine, 34; guanine, 72; XMP, 10; xanthosine, 24; xanthine, 144. These figures divided by 55 correspond to nanomoles of uric acid synthesized min-1 per mg-1 of protein. The rate of synthesis of uric acid obtained with each one of those compounds at 0·1 and 0·05 mM concentrations was also determined. ATP (1 nM) strongly inhibited uric acid synthesis from 0·05 mM AMP (91 per cent) and from 0·05 mM ADP (88 per cent), but not from adenosine. CTP or UTP (1 mM) also inhibited (by more than 90 per cent) the synthesis of uric acid from 0·05 mM AMP. Xanthine oxidase was inhibited by concentrations of hypoxanthine higher than 0·012 mM. The results favour the view that the level of uric acid in plasma may be an index of the energetic state of the organism. Allopurinol, besides inhibiting uric acid synthesis, reduced the rate of degradation of AMP. The ability of crude extracts to catabolize purine nucleotides to uric acid is an important factor to be considered when some enzymes related to purine nucleotide metabolism, particularly CTP synthase, are measured in crude liver extracts.

    Time-dependent irreversible inhibition of bovine kidney alkaline phosphatase by oxidized adenosine. Use of this compound as a site-directed inhibitor for studying uncompetitive inhibition (1994)

    Notes: The L/B/K type of mammalian alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is inhibited uncompetitively by nucleotides. A combination of adenosine and nicotinamide is more effective than either adenosine or nicotinamide alone, probably because a dinucleotide structure is necessary to trigger a conformational change accompanying binding of structures such as NADH. It has been suggested that a loop region containing residue 429 in the ALP polypeptide is important in the interaction of uncompetitive inhibitors with the enzyme. In the L/B/K isoenzyme, residue 429 is a histidine and is a potential target for modification. In an attempt to learn more about the molecular events accompanying inhibition of ALP by uncompetitive inhibitors, bovine kidney ALP was reacted with oxidized adenosine in the presence of nicotinamide to see if site-directed modification occurs. Kidney ALP was irreversibly inactivated by oxidized adenosine but the reaction was slow. The site modified is likely to be close to the region of binding. Sequence data for the kidney enzyme shows that in the region of residue 429 there are no residues except His429 itself that is likely to react with oxidized adenosine.

    Differences in the G/total actin ratio and microfilament stability between normal and malignant human keratinocytesThis work was supported by a grant of the Biomedical Research Committee of the Greek Ministry of Health (no. 47/942) and the European Union (SPA I). (1994)

    Notes: The state of polymerization of actin and the organization of actin filaments is widely believed to be related to cellular transformation. Since the intracellular monomer (G) and filamentous (F) actin content reflects the state of microfilament polymerization, we measured the G/total actin ratio in primary cultures of normal and malignant human keratinocytes. In normal keratinocytes the mean value of this ratio was 0·30 ± 0·03 (mean ± SE, n = 15), while in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) keratinocytes it was 0·49 ± 0·03 (n = 8) and in squamous cell carcinoma keratinocytes (SCC) 0·5 ± 0·07 (n = 4), indicating a 1·7-fold increase of the G/total actin ratio in malignant cells. These results imply that the proportion of polymerized actin is decreased markedly in malignant keratinocytes, suggesting alterations of microfilament structures which probably occur during the transformation process. This was supported by the morphological changes of microfilament structures as assessed by fluorescence microscopy. A different distribution of actin filaments in normal and malignant cells became evident; stress-fibres were converging in patches at several points in SCC cells, when compared to normal keratinocytes. Furthermore, incubation of normal and malignant keratinocytes with cytochalasin B indicated differences in the resistance of their microfilament networks. After 1 h exposure to 10-6 and 10-5 M cytochalasin B, microfilaments in normal cells appeared to be less affected than their counterparts in neoplastic cells. Even in a high excess of cytochalasin B (10-4 M), normal keratinocytes preserved their shape, while both basal cell and SCC were totally disrupted. We concluded that the G/total actin ratio was significantly increased in malignant keratinocytes. This seems to be correlated with altered microfilament morphology and resistance to cytochalasin B treatment. Our results suggest that the process of malignant transformation may be characterized by changes in the state of the polymerization of actin and in the stability of the microfilament network indicating that both features could potentially serve as markers determine the transformed state of keratinocytes.

    Notes: Hyaluronan (HA) protected tendon fibroblasts against cell damage mediated by hydroxyl radicals (OH·) as demonstrated by release of 51Cr from labelled cells. Protection afforded by high molecular mass (Mr) HA (1218 kDa) was much more effective than that provided by lower (176 kDa and 668 kDa) Mr HA.OH· was generated by coupling H2O2 produced by glucose oxidase: glucose to [Fe2+-EDTA] chelate in a Fenton-type system. The flux of OH· was measured by a spectrofluorimetric assay of salicylate produced by the reaction of benzoate with OH·. Cell damage caused by the OH· generating system was prevented in the presence of catalase, which destroyed H2O2. Damage caused in a standard incubation time increased with increased amounts of glucose oxidase.Protection against OH·-mediated cell damage increased with increasing concentration of HA. The presence of HA did not interfere with the enzyme-Fenton system, as monitored by production of gluconate. On the other hand, HA scavenged OH· produced by the enzyme-Fenton system, as shown by competition with benzoate, which produced less salicylate in the spectrofluorimetric assay in the presence of HA.The reaction of OH· with HA was measured directly by a pulse radiolysis technique in which a hydrated electron (eaq-) produced OH· by the reaction with nitrous oxide. Second order rate constants obtained in distilled H2O or in phosphate buffer showed no dependence on HA Mr. Similarly, fluorimetric assay of the flux of in the enzyme-Fenton system confirmed that HA competed with benzoate, thus lowering salicylate production, and the flux was also independent of the molecular mass of HA.These results demonstrate that part of the HA-mediated protection against enzyme-Fenton produced OH· and other reactive oxygen-derived toxic species was not a consequence of either the primary or secondary structure of HA, but rather depends on higher order HA organization. Some aspects of the formation of the HA meshwork (tertiary structure) are Mr dependent. We therefore propose that cell-anchored HA meshworks excluded relatively large enzyme molecules from the immediate environment of the cell, thus reducing the flux of OH· etc. at the cell surface and diminishing cell damage.

    Notes: Rat hearts were perfused with the Langendorff technique at constant flux in the presence of the oxidizing agents hydrogen peroxide and diamide. Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate strongly prevented the decline of heart contractility due to the infusion of these oxidizing agents. On the other hand, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate had no effect on the release of total glutathione into the perfusate but prevented the loss of lactate dehydrogenase indicating a protective effect on cell membranes. Comparing the cytosolic and mitochondrial loss of glutathione, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate exerted a beneficial action only on the mitochondrial fraction. Several mechanisms of action have been considered to explain the protective action of frutose 1,6-bisphosphate. In our experimental conditions fructose 1,6-bisphosphate might stimulate its own production giving rise to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, that, after reduction to glycerol 3-phosphate, can permeate the mitochondrial membrane with the final production of energy.

    Notes: The kinetic parameters of the inhibition of pigeon brain acetylchlolinesterase (AChE) by procaine hydrochloride were investigated. Procaine (0·083-1·67 mM) reversibly inhibited AChE activity (15-83 percent) in a concentration dependent manner, the IC50 being about 0·38 mM. The Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) for the hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine iodide was found to be 1·53 × 10-4 M and the Vmax was 1·06 μmol min-1 mg-1 protein. Dixon as well as Lineweaver-Burk plots and their secondary replots indicated that the nature of the inhibition is of the linear mixed type which is considered to be a mixture of partial competitive and pure non-competitive. The values of Ki(slope) and Ki (intercepts) were estimated as 0·14 mM and 0·22 mM respectively by the primary Dixon and by the secondary replots of the Lineweaver-Burk plot. The Ki′/Ki ratio shows that procaine has a greater affinity of binding for the peripheral than for the active site.

    Notes: A Ca2+-dependent protein kinase of Tetrahymena thermophila has been partially purified and characterized. The molecular mass of the enzyme is less than that of similar enzymes (for example protein kinase C), being about 55 kDa. After purification and in the presence of Ca2+ the enzyme activity increased. The promoter of protein kinase C (PKC) activity, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), increased the activity while the protein kinase inhibitor H-7 decreased the activity of the enzyme. The experiments demonstrate the presence, activity and similarity to vertebrate enzymes of a protein kinase at a low level of phylogeny.

    Treatment of murine lupus with CTLA4Ig (1994)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-08-26
    Description: The interaction of B7-related molecules on antigen-presenting cells with CD28 or CTLA-4 antigens on T cells provides a second signal for T cell activation. Selection inhibition of the B7-CD28 or B7-CTLA-4 interactions produces antigen-specific T cell unresponsiveness in vitro and suppresses immune function in vivo. To determine whether selective inhibition of the B7-CD28 or B7-CTLA-4 interactions could suppress spontaneous autoimmune disease, a B7-binding protein was generated by genetic fusion of the extracellular domain of murine CTLA-4 to the Fc portion of a mouse immunoglobulin G2a monoclonal antibody (muCTLA4Ig). In lupus-prone NZB/NZW filial generation (F1) mice, treatment with muCTLA4Ig blocked autoantibody production and prolonged life, even when treatment was delayed until the most advanced stage of clinical illness. These findings suggest a possible role for human CTLA4Ig in the treatment of autoimmune diseases in humans.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Finck, B K -- Linsley, P S -- Wofsy, D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Aug 26;265(5176):1225-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7520604" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Functional participation of the IL-2 receptor gamma chain in IL-7 receptor complexes (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

    Publication Date: 1994-03-11
    Description: The gamma chain of the interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor is shared with the functional IL-4 receptor and is causatively related to X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID), which is ascribed to a profound T cell defect. Studies with monoclonal antibodies specific for the IL-2 receptor gamma chain showed that the gamma chain participates in the functional high-affinity receptor complexes for IL-7 that are involved in the differentiation of T and B cells. Participation of the gamma subunit in more than one receptor may enable the elucidation of the mechanisms of XSCID development and lymphocyte differentiation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kondo, M -- Takeshita, T -- Higuchi, M -- Nakamura, M -- Sudo, T -- Nishikawa, S -- Sugamura, K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 11;263(5152):1453-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology, Tohoku University School of Medicine, Sendai, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8128231" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Thalamic abnormalities in schizophrenia visualized through magnetic resonance image averaging (1994)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-10-14
    Description: Schizophrenia is a complex illness characterized by multiple types of symptoms involving many aspects of cognition and emotion. Most efforts to identify its underlying neural substrates have focused on a strategy that relates a single symptom to a single brain region. An alternative hypothesis, that the variety of symptoms could be explained by a lesion in midline neural circuits mediating attention and information processing, is explored. Magnetic resonance images from patients and controls were transformed with a "bounding box" to produce an "average schizophrenic brain" and an "average normal brain." After image subtraction of the two averages, the areas of difference were displayed as an effect size map. Specific regional abnormalities were observed in the thalamus and adjacent white matter. An abnormality in the thalamus and related circuitry explains the diverse symptoms of schizophrenia parsimoniously because they could all result from a defect in filtering or gating sensory input, which is one of the primary functions of the thalamus in the human brain.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Andreasen, N C -- Arndt, S -- Swayze, V 2nd -- Cizadlo, T -- Flaum, M -- O'Leary, D -- Ehrhardt, J C -- Yuh, W T -- MH31593/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH40856/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MHCRC 43271/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 14;266(5183):294-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Mental Health Clinical Research Center, College of Medicine.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939669" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Endogenous DNA adducts may contribute to the etiology of human genetic disease and cancer. One potential source of endogenous DNA adducts is lipid peroxidation, which generates mutagenic carbonyl compounds such as malondialdehyde. A sensitive mass spectrometric method permitted detection and quantitation of the major malondialdehyde-DNA adduct, a pyrimidopurinone derived from deoxyguanosine. DNA from disease-free human liver was found to contain 5400 adducts per cell, a frequency comparable to that of adducts formed by exogenous carcinogens.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chaudhary, A K -- Nokubo, M -- Reddy, G R -- Yeola, S N -- Morrow, J D -- Blair, I A -- Marnett, L J -- CA47479/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- ES00267/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- GM42056/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 9;265(5178):1580-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉A.

    Description: Representational difference analysis was used to isolate unique sequences present in more than 90 percent of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) tissues obtained from patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). These sequences were not present in tissue DNA from non-AIDS patients, but were present in 15 percent of non-KS tissue DNA samples from AIDS patients. The sequences are homologous to, but distinct from, capsid and tegument protein genes of the Gammaherpesvirinae, herpesvirus saimiri and Epstein-Barr virus. These KS-associated herpesvirus-like (KSHV) sequences appear to define a new human herpesvirus.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chang, Y -- Cesarman, E -- Pessin, M S -- Lee, F -- Culpepper, J -- Knowles, D M -- Moore, P S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 16;266(5192):1865-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, NY 10032.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7997879" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 1994-11-11
    Description: Long-tailed manakins mate in leks and cooperate in multiyear male-male partnerships. An alpha male is responsible for virtually all mating, whereas a beta male assists in the courtship displays. Such altruism by the beta male poses a problem for evolutionary theory because most theoretical treatments and empirical examples of cooperative behavior involve kin selection or reciprocity. Here it is shown that alpha and beta partners are not relatives and that reciprocity is not involved. Instead, direct, though long-delayed benefits to beta males are demonstrated, which include rare copulations, ascension to alpha status, and female lek fidelity. These benefits maintain this unusual form of male-male cooperation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McDonald, D B -- Potts, W K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Nov 11;266(5187):1030-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Archbold Biological Station, Lake Placid, FL 33852-2057.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7973654" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Genetic mapping of quantitative trait loci for growth and fatness in pigs (1994)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-03-25
    Description: The European wild boar was crossed with the domesticated Large White pig to genetically dissect phenotypic differences between these populations for growth and fat deposition. The most important effects were clustered on chromosome 4, with a single region accounting for a large part of the breed difference in growth rate, fatness, and length of the small intestine. The study is an advance in genome analyses and documents the usefulness of crosses between divergent outbred populations for the detection and characterization of quantitative trait loci. The genetic mapping of a major locus for fat deposition in the pig could have implications for understanding human obesity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Andersson, L -- Haley, C S -- Ellegren, H -- Knott, S A -- Johansson, M -- Andersson, K -- Andersson-Eklund, L -- Edfors-Lilja, I -- Fredholm, M -- Hansson, I -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 25;263(5154):1771-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8134840" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Insights from the study of animals lacking functional estrogen receptor (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-12-02
    Description: Estrogen hormones produce physiological actions within a variety of target sites in the body and during development by activating a specific receptor protein. Hormone responsiveness for the estrogen receptor protein was investigated at different stages of development with the use of gene knockout techniques because no natural genetic mutants have been described. A mutant mouse line without a functional estrogen receptor was created and is being used to assess estrogen responsiveness. Both sexes of these mutant animals are infertile and show a variety of phenotypic changes, some of which are associated with the gonads, mammary glands, reproductive tracts, and skeletal tissues.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Korach, K S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 2;266(5190):1524-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Receptor Biology Section, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Institutes of Health, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7985022" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Mutagenesis and mapping of a mouse gene, Clock, essential for circadian behavior (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-04-29
    Description: In a search for genes that regulate circadian rhythms in mammals, the progeny of mice treated with N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) were screened for circadian clock mutations. A semidominant mutation, Clock, that lengthens circadian period and abolishes persistence of rhythmicity was identified. Clock segregated as a single gene that mapped to the midportion of mouse chromosome 5, a region syntenic to human chromosome 4. The power of ENU mutagenesis combined with the ability to clone murine genes by map position provides a generally applicable approach to study complex behavior in mammals.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3839659/" 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/PMC3839659/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Vitaterna, M H -- King, D P -- Chang, A M -- Kornhauser, J M -- Lowrey, P L -- McDonald, J D -- Dove, W F -- Pinto, L H -- Turek, F W -- Takahashi, J S -- P30-CA07175/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01-DK40493/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- T32 NS071040/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 29;264(5159):719-25.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurobiology and Physiology, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8171325" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A genetic linkage map for the zebrafish (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-04-29
    Description: To facilitate molecular genetic analysis of vertebrate development, haploid genetics was used to construct a recombination map for the zebrafish Danio (Brachydanio) rerio. The map consists of 401 random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs) and 13 simple sequence repeats spaced at an average interval of 5.8 centimorgans. Strategies that exploit the advantages of haploid genetics and RAPD markers were developed that quickly mapped lethal and visible mutations and that placed cloned genes on the map. This map is useful for the position-based cloning of mutant genes, the characterization of chromosome rearrangements, and the investigation of evolution in vertebrate genomes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Postlethwait, J H -- Johnson, S L -- Midson, C N -- Talbot, W S -- Gates, M -- Ballinger, E W -- Africa, D -- Andrews, R -- Carl, T -- Eisen, J S -- 1RO1AI26734/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- HD07470/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- NS23915/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 29;264(5159):699-703.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Neurosciences, University of Oregon, Eugene 97403.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8171321" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Changes of induction and competence during the evolution of vulva development in nematodes (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-07-01
    Description: In Caenorhabditis, the vulva is formed in the central body region from three of six equivalent cells and is induced by the gonad. In some nematodes, however, the vulva is located in the posterior body region. Vulval development has been analyzed in three such genera. The same precursor cells give rise to the vulva in Caenorhabditis and in the posterior vulva species, but in the latter the cells first migrate posteriorly. In two such species, the vulva is not induced by the gonad, but instead relies on intrinsic properties of precursor cells. Thus, evolution of organ position involves changes in induction and competence.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sommer, R J -- Sternberg, P W -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 1;265(5168):114-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena 91125.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8016644" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Role of bone marrow-derived cells in presenting MHC class I-restricted tumor antigens (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-05-13
    Description: Many tumors express tumor-specific antigens capable of being presented to CD8+ T cells by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. Antigen presentation models predict that the tumor cell itself should present these antigens to T cells. However, when conditions for the priming of tumor-specific responses were examined in mice, no detectable presentation of MHC class I-restricted tumor antigens by the tumor itself was found. Rather, tumor antigens were exclusively presented by host bone marrow-derived cells. Thus, MHC class I-restricted antigens are efficiently transferred in vivo to bone marrow-derived antigen-presenting cells, which suggests that human leukocyte antigen matching may be less critical in the application of tumor vaccines than previously thought.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Huang, A Y -- Golumbek, P -- Ahmadzadeh, M -- Jaffee, E -- Pardoll, D -- Levitsky, H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 May 13;264(5161):961-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Oncology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21205.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7513904" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Effects of cerebral ischemia in mice deficient in neuronal nitric oxide synthase (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-09-23
    Description: The proposal that nitric oxide (NO) or its reactant products mediate toxicity in brain remains controversial in part because of the use of nonselective agents that block NO formation in neuronal, glial, and vascular compartments. In mutant mice deficient in neuronal NO synthase (NOS) activity, infarct volumes decreased significantly 24 and 72 hours after middle cerebral artery occlusion, and the neurological deficits were less than those in normal mice. This result could not be accounted for by differences in blood flow or vascular anatomy. However, infarct size in the mutant became larger after endothelial NOS inhibition by nitro-L-arginine administration. Hence, neuronal NO production appears to exacerbate acute ischemic injury, whereas vascular NO protects after middle cerebral artery occlusion. The data emphasize the importance of developing selective inhibitors of the neuronal isoform.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Huang, Z -- Huang, P L -- Panahian, N -- Dalkara, T -- Fishman, M C -- Moskowitz, M A -- NS10828/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS2636/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 23;265(5180):1883-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Stroke Research Laboratory, Massachusetts General Hospital, Charlestown 02129.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7522345" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Many recent studies have implicated dietary factors in the cause and prevention of important diseases, including cancer, coronary heart disease, birth defects, and cataracts. There is strong evidence that vegetables and fruits protect against these diseases; however, the active constituents are incompletely identified. Whether fat per se is a major cause of disease is a question still under debate, although saturated and partially hydrogenated fats probably increase the risk of coronary heart disease. One clear conclusion from existing epidemiologic evidence is that many individuals in the United States have suboptimal diets and that the potential for disease prevention by improved nutrition is substantial.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Willett, W C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 22;264(5158):532-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8160011" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    BRCA1 mutations in primary breast and ovarian carcinomas (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-10-07
    Description: Loss of heterozygosity data from familial tumors suggest that BRCA1, a gene that confers susceptibility to ovarian and early-onset breast cancer, encodes a tumor suppressor. The BRCA1 region is also subject to allelic loss in sporadic breast and ovarian cancers, an indication that BRCA1 mutations may occur somatically in these tumors. The BRCA1 coding region was examined for mutations in primary breast and ovarian tumors that show allele loss at the BRCA1 locus. Mutations were detected in 3 of 32 breast and 1 of 12 ovarian carcinomas; all four mutations were germline alterations and occurred in early-onset cancers. These results suggest that mutation of BRCA1 may not be critical in the development of the majority of breast and ovarian cancers that arise in the absence of a mutant germline allele.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Futreal, P A -- Liu, Q -- Shattuck-Eidens, D -- Cochran, C -- Harshman, K -- Tavtigian, S -- Bennett, L M -- Haugen-Strano, A -- Swensen, J -- Miki, Y -- CA48711/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA55914/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA56749/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 7;266(5182):120-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Molecular Carcinogenesis, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Institutes of Health, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939630" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Degeneration of a nonrecombining chromosome (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-01-14
    Description: Comparative studies suggest that sex chromosomes begin as ordinary autosomes that happen to carry a major sex determining locus. Over evolutionary time the Y chromosome is selected to stop recombining with the X chromosome, perhaps in response to accumulation of alleles beneficial to the heterogametic but harmful to the homogametic sex. Population genetic theory predicts that a nonrecombining Y chromosome should degenerate. Here this prediction is tested by application of specific selection pressures to Drosophila melanogaster populations. Results demonstrate the decay of a nonrecombining, nascent Y chromosome and the capacity for recombination to ameliorate such decay.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rice, W R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jan 14;263(5144):230-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, University of California, Santa Cruz 95064.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8284674" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Localization of a breast cancer susceptibility gene, BRCA2, to chromosome 13q12-13 (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-09-30
    Description: A small proportion of breast cancer, in particular those cases arising at a young age, is due to the inheritance of dominant susceptibility genes conferring a high risk of the disease. A genomic linkage search was performed with 15 high-risk breast cancer families that were unlinked to the BRCA1 locus on chromosome 17q21. This analysis localized a second breast cancer susceptibility locus, BRCA2, to a 6-centimorgan interval on chromosome 13q12-13. Preliminary evidence suggests that BRCA2 confers a high risk of breast cancer but, unlike BRCA1, does not confer a substantially elevated risk of ovarian cancer.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wooster, R -- Neuhausen, S L -- Mangion, J -- Quirk, Y -- Ford, D -- Collins, N -- Nguyen, K -- Seal, S -- Tran, T -- Averill, D -- CA-48711/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CN-05222/CN/NCI NIH HHS/ -- HG-00571/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 30;265(5181):2088-90.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Section of Molecular Carcinogenesis, Institute of Cancer Research, Sutton, Surrey, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8091231" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Cytoskeletal functions during Drosophila oogenesis (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-10-28
    Description: Organismal morphogenesis is driven by a complex series of developmentally coordinated changes in cell shape, size, and number. These changes in cell morphology are in turn dependent on alterations in basic cytoarchitecture. Elucidating the mechanisms of development thus requires an understanding of the cytoskeletal elements that organize the cytoplasm of differentiating cells. Drosophila oogenesis has emerged as a versatile system for the study of cytoskeletal function during development. A series of highly coordinated changes in cytoskeletal organization are required to produce a mature Drosophila oocyte, and these cytoskeletal transformations are amenable to a variety of experimental approaches. Genetic, molecular, and cytological studies have shed light on the specific functions of the cytoskeleton during oogenesis. The results of these studies are reviewed here, and their mechanistic implications are considered.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cooley, L -- Theurkauf, W E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 28;266(5185):590-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Genetics, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06510.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939713" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The Drosophila saxophone gene: a serine-threonine kinase receptor of the TGF-beta superfamily (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-03-25
    Description: The Drosophila decapentaplegic (dpp) gene encodes a transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)-like protein that plays a key role in several aspects of development. Transduction of the DPP signal was investigated by cloning of serine-threonine kinase transmembrane receptors from Drosophila because this type of receptor is specific for the TGF-beta-like ligands. Here evidence is provided demonstrating that the Drosophila saxophone (sax) gene, a previously identified female sterile locus, encodes a TGF-beta-like type I receptor. Embryos from sax mothers and dpp embryos exhibit similar mutant phenotypes during early gastrulation, and these two loci exhibit genetic interactions, which suggest that they are utilized in the same pathway. These data suggest that sax encodes a receptor for dpp.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Xie, T -- Finelli, A L -- Padgett, R W -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Mar 25;263(5154):1756-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Waksman Institute, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ 08855-0759.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8134837" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Stimulation and inhibition of angiogenesis by placental proliferin and proliferin-related protein (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-12-02
    Description: In many mammalian species, the placenta is the site of synthesis of proteins in the prolactin and growth hormone family. Analysis of two such proteins, proliferin (PLF) and proliferin-related protein (PRP), revealed that they are potent regulators of angiogenesis; PLF stimulated and PRP inhibited endothelial cell migration in cell culture and neovascularization in vivo. The mouse placenta secretes an angiogenic activity during the middle of pregnancy that corresponds primarily to PLF, but later in gestation releases a factor that inhibits angiogenesis, which was identified as PRP. Incubation of placental tissue with PLF led to the specific binding of this hormone to capillary endothelial cells. Thus PLF and PRP may regulate the initiation and then the cessation of placental neovascularization.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jackson, D -- Volpert, O V -- Bouck, N -- Linzer, D I -- CA52750/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- HD24518/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- HD29962/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 2;266(5190):1581-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Cell Biology, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7527157" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Genetics of a pheromonal difference contributing to reproductive isolation in Drosophila (1994)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-09-02
    Description: Although sexual isolation is one of the most important causes of speciation, its genetic basis is largely unknown. Here evidence is presented that suggests that sexual isolation between two closely related species of Drosophila is largely caused by differences in female cuticular hydrocarbons. This difference maps to only one of the three major chromosomes, implying that reproductive isolation might have a fairly simple genetic basis. The effect of the hydrocarbons on courtship may help explain the ubiquitous asymmetry of sexual isolation between many pairs of Drosophila species.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Coyne, J A -- Crittenden, A P -- Mah, K -- GM 38462/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM 50355/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 2;265(5177):1461-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Chicago, IL 60637.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8073292" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Autoantibodies to glutamate receptor GluR3 in Rasmussen's encephalitis (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-07-29
    Description: Rasmussen's encephalitis is a progressive childhood disease of unknown cause characterized by severe epilepsy, hemiplegia, dementia, and inflammation of the brain. During efforts to raise antibodies to recombinant glutamate receptors (GluRs), behaviors typical of seizures and histopathologic features mimicking Rasmussen's encephalitis were found in two rabbits immunized with GluR3 protein. A correlation was found between the presence of Rasmussen's encephalitis and serum antibodies to GluR3 detected by protein immunoblot analysis and by immunoreactivity to transfected cells expressing GluR3. Repeated plasma exchanges in one seriously ill child transiently reduced serum titers of GluR3 antibodies, decreased seizure frequency, and improved neurologic function. Thus, GluR3 is an autoantigen in Rasmussen's encephalitis, and an autoimmune process may underlie this disease.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rogers, S W -- Andrews, P I -- Gahring, L C -- Whisenand, T -- Cauley, K -- Crain, B -- Hughes, T E -- Heinemann, S F -- McNamara, J O -- NS17771/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS28709/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS30990R29/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 29;265(5172):648-51.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Salt Lake City Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, UT.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8036512" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The thermal grill illusion: unmasking the burn of cold pain (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-07-08
    Description: In Thunberg's thermal grill illusion, first demonstrated in 1896, a sensation of strong, often painful heat is elicited by touching interlaced warm and cool bars to the skin. Neurophysiological recordings from two classes of ascending spinothalamic tract neurons that are sensitive to innocuous or noxious cold showed differential responses to the grill. On the basis of these results, a simple model of central disinhibition, or unmasking, predicted a quantitative correspondence between grill-evoked pain and cold-evoked pain, which was verified psychophysically. This integration of pain and temperature can explain the thermal grill illusion and the burning sensation of cold pain and may also provide a basis for the cold-evoked, burning pain of the classic thalamic pain syndrome.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Craig, A D -- Bushnell, M C -- DA07402/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- NS25616/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jul 8;265(5169):252-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Neurobiology, Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, AZ 85013.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8023144" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 1994-12-16
    Description: The biologically relevant interactions of a transcription factor are those that are important for function in the organism. Here, a transgenic rescue assay was used to determine which molecular functions of Drosophila CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP), a basic region-leucine zipper transcription factor, are required for it to fulfill its essential role during development. Chimeric proteins that contain the Drosophila C/EBP (DmC/EBP) basic region, a heterologous zipper, and a heterologous activation domain could functionally substitute for DmC/EBP. Mammalian C/EBPs were also functional in Drosophila. In contrast, 9 of 25 single amino acid substitutions in the basic region disrupted biological function. Thus, the conserved basic region specifies DmC/EBP activity in the organism.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rorth, P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 16;266(5192):1878-81.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Embryology, Carnegie Institution of Washington, Baltimore, MD 21210.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7997882" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-12-02
    Description: The mammalian embryo cannot develop without the placenta. Its specialized cells (trophoblast, endoderm, and extraembryonic mesoderm) form early in development. They attach the embryo to the uterus (implantation) and form vascular connections necessary for nutrient transport. In addition, the placenta redirects maternal endocrine, immune, and metabolic functions to the embryo's advantage. These complex activities are sensitive to disruption, as shown by the high incidence of early embryonic mortality and pregnancy diseases in humans, as well as the numerous peri-implantation lethal mutations in mice. Integration of molecular and developmental approaches has recently produced insights into the molecules that control these processes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cross, J C -- Werb, Z -- Fisher, S J -- HD 22210/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- HD 26732/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- HD 30367/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 2;266(5190):1508-18.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7985020" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Implications of FRA16A structure for the mechanism of chromosomal fragile site genesis (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-06-24
    Description: Fragile sites are chemically induced nonstaining gaps in chromosomes. Different fragile sites vary in frequency in the population and in the chemistry of their induction. DNA sequences encompassing and including the rare, autosomal, folate-sensitive fragile site, FRA16A, were isolated by positional cloning. The molecular basis of FRA16A was found to be expansion of a normally polymorphic p(CCG)n repeat. This repeat was adjacent to a CpG island that was methylated in fragile site-expressing individuals. The FRA16A locus in individuals who do not express the fragile site is not a site of DNA methylation (imprinting), which suggests that the methylation associated with fragile sites may be a consequence and not a cause of their genesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nancarrow, J K -- Kremer, E -- Holman, K -- Eyre, H -- Doggett, N A -- Le Paslier, D -- Callen, D F -- Sutherland, G R -- Richards, R I -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 24;264(5167):1938-41.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cytogenetics and Molecular Genetics, Women's and Children's Hospital, North Adelaide, South Australia.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8009225" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Modern molecular genetic and genomic approaches are revolutionizing the study of behavior in the mouse. "Reverse genetics" (from gene to phenotype) with targeted gene transfer provides a powerful tool to dissect behavior and has been used successfully to study the effects of null mutations in genes implicated in the regulation of long-term potentiation and spatial learning in mice. In addition, "forward genetics" (from phenotype to gene) with high-efficiency mutagenesis in the mouse can uncover unknown genes and has been used to isolate a behavioral mutant of the circadian system. With the recent availability of high-density genetic maps and physical mapping resources, positional cloning of virtually any mutation is now feasible in the mouse. Together, these approaches permit a molecular analysis of both known and previously unknown genes regulating behavior.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3830945/" 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/PMC3830945/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Takahashi, J S -- Pinto, L H -- Vitaterna, M H -- EY08467/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- MH39592/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH49241/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Jun 17;264(5166):1724-33.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurobiology and Physiology, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8209253" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
