    Notes: Quantitative cytochemistry of components of blood neutrophil azurophilic granules (myeloperoxidase, chloroacetate esterase, β-glucuronidase, and acid phosphatase) and specific granules (lactoferrin) has been performed by scanning and integrating micro-densitometry in 13 patients with a myelodysplastic syndrome and 11 patients with chronic granulocytic leukaemia. Both patient groups showed a reduction of enzyme activity in azurophilic granules, and also of lactoferrin, consistent with abnormal development of neutrophil granules. These cytochemical changes in blood neutrophils are similar to those found in acute myeloid leukaemia, are consistent with a leukaemic maturation defect, and may be of diagnostic value.

    Notes: The naturally-occurring polyamines exist in the free form, as N-acetyl derivatives and bound to protein. Their biosynthesis is subject to sensitive control, particularly of ornithine decarboxylase. This enzyme may be multifunctional and a key regulatory protein. Studies, principally with selective inhibitors, have elucidated the roles of polyamines in cell proliferation. Oxidized polyamines, in contrast, can be potent mitotic inhibitors. These effects are reviewed in terms of their chemistry and biochemistry. Their principal distinctions are that they can be made or degraded intracellularly, they can associate electrostatically with macromolecules by means of their spaced cationic groups, and these can be readily converted to covalent bonds.

    Notes: The apparent paradox of aerobic glycolysis has been investigated in bone and in cartilage. A new cytochemical procedure for hydroxyacyl dehydrogenase (HOAD) activity showed that the maximal activity of this enzyme in both tissues was equivalent to the maximal activity of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPD). The sum of these activities gave a measure of the maximum amount of acetyl-coenzyme A that could be produced. In these tissues, but not in liver which does not exhibit aerobic glycolysis, this summed value exceeded the maximal activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH). Consequently, it suggested that where fatty acid oxidation is sufficient to supply all the acetyl-coenzyme A required for the Krebs' cycle, that derived from fatty acid oxidation may inhibit pyruvate dehydrogenase causing accumulation of pyruvate which must be converted to lactate if pentose-shunt activity is to be maintained.

    Notes: Luteal and interstial cell RNA contents and circulating progesterone (P) and 20α-hydroxypregn-4-ene-3-one (20α-OH P) levels were measured during pseudopregnancy in order to characterize relationships between ovarian 20α-OH P secretion and luteal regression. Functional luteolysis, as manifested in depressed P levels, was not associated with concurrent elevations in 20α-OH P. Rather, augmented 20α-OH P levels were evidenced in periovulatory periods at the onset and termination of pseudopregnancy, subsequent to RNA accumulation in both luteal and interstitial compartments. It is postulated that 20α-OH P, the putative inactive metabolite of P, is produced by both ovarian compartments in a cyclic manner and in response to gonadotrophin released in the preovulatory period.

    Notes: The effects of diterpene forskolin on the human platelet release reaction and on platelet protein phosphorylation were studied. This drug is shown to have the same effects as other agents which increase cAMP levels, namely, it inhibits the secretory response to diverse agonists and causes changes in the phosphorylation of several specific proteins. An increase of the 32P content is seen in the MW 47 000, 24 000 and 21 000 polypeptides while a decrease is observed in the MW 41 000 and 27 000 and 20 000 species. Forskolin also inhibits the changes in protein phosphorylation pattern induced by the powerful platelet secretagogue, thrombin. Our results relate the effects of antagonists of platelet secretion such as prostaglandins more closely to changes in cAMP levels and in protein phosphorylation than to other possible effects of the receptor-ligand interaction, which is by-passed by the use of forskolin. Our results also provide additional evidence involving these changes in the mechanisms which regulate the secretory process in platelets.

    Notes: Information on the interaction between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes and components of the skeletal network of the cell was gained by treating cells with the antimicrofilament agent cytochalasin B prior to cell disruption by nitrogen cavitation. Treatment of Krebs II ascites cells with cytochalasin B (5-10 μg ml-1) resulted in an increased yield of three ER membrane subfractions  -  heavy rough (HR), light rough (LR) and smooth (S) membranes, as judged by 3H-choline incorporation in gradient fractions following discontinuous sucrose gradient centrifugation. The major increase was observed in the HR fraction. These results indicate that the actual yield of the respective ER membrane subfractions after cell disruption is dependent on the degree of direct and/or indirect interaction between individual ER membranes and actin containing filaments of the cytoskeleton in the intact cell.

    Notes: The new glass ionomer dental cement, ChemFil, was found to be moderately cytotoxic when freshly mixed in vitro. This was assessed by a reduction in fibroblast and macrophage counts following 24 h exposure to the material, and by alterations in enzyme levels and enzyme staining kinetics relative to control cultures. Testing of set samples of the material showed that its toxicity decreased rapidly with setting. ChemFil behaved in a manner similar to two older glass ionomers, ASPA and ChemBond, although it was generally slightly less irritant.

    Notes: When cardiac muscle cells from mature rats were incubated in vitro in the presence of heparin (8.7 nmole ml-1) lipoprotein lipase activity appeared in the incubation medium. The intracellular activity of the enzyme remained unchanged. Other glycosaminoglycans (heparan sulphate, dermatan sulphate, keratan sulphate and chrondroitin 6-sulphate) at the same or higher concentrations were totally ineffective in producing any enzyme redistribution between cells and medium. The release seen in the presence of heparin was blocked by the presence of cycloheximide. Cycloheximide by contrast had no effect on the release observed in the presence of dexamethasone, The action of endogenous glycosaminoglycans are unlikely therefore to have a significant role to play in the movement of lipoprotein lipase in heart tissue in vivo.
