Calcium transport mechanisms in dog red blood cells studied from measurements of initial flux rates

Ca2+ efflux from dog red blood cells loaded with Ca2+ using the A23187 ionophore could be separated into two main components: (1) Mg- and ATP-dependent (active transport) and (2) dependent on external Na (K1/2 around 15 mM); at 80 microM internal free Ca the relative magnitudes of these fluxes were 70% and 30% respectively. The Na-dependent Ca2+ efflux had the following additional properties: (i) it was partially inhibited by ATP depletion or preincubation with vanadate, but it was not affected by Mg2+ depletion; (ii) it failed to be stimulated by external monovalent cations other than Na: (iii) it was stimulated by reduction in the internal Na+ concentration. Both active and Na-dependent Ca2+ efflux remained unchanged in hypotonic solutions or in solutions with alkaline pH (8.5). In cells containing ATP and Mg2+, external Ca2+ inhibited Ca2+ efflux (K1/2 around 1 mM); on the other hand, in Mg-free dog red cells external Ca2+ stimulated Ca2+ efflux (K1/2 about 30 microM). In Mg-depleted red cells incubated in the absence of external Na2+, Ca2+ influx as a function of external Ca2+ followed a monotonically saturable function (K1/2 around 20 microM): addition of Na resulted in (i) inhibition of Ca2+ influx and (ii) a sigmoid relationship between flux and external Ca2+. Intracellular Ca2+ stimulated the external Na-dependent Ca2+ efflux along a sigmoid curve (K1/2 around 30 microM); on the other hand the Ca pump had a biphasic response to internal Ca2+: stimulation at low internal Ca2+ (K1/2 between 1 and 10 microM), followed by a decline at internal Ca2+ concentrations higher than 50 microM.     

Evidence that insulin and concanavalin-A can co-bind to solubilized insulin receptors without inhibiting each other

Concanavalin A (Con A) precipitates detergent-solubilized insulin receptors (free of or bound to [${}^{125}\text{I}$]insulin) prepared from fat cell membranes resulting in a loss of [${}^{125}\text{I}$]insulin binding capacity (or bound hormone) in the soluble fraction. The losses can be recovered by redissolving the precipitates with methyl-α-D-mannoside; the sugar also inhibits precipitation. [${}^{125}\text{I}$]insulin also binds to insoluble Con A-occupied receptors. At all concentrations of Con A tested, the initial amounts of free or hormone-bound receptors were completely accounted for by their distribution between soluble and insoluble states. We conclude that Con A and insulin can co-bind to independent sites on the insulin receptor without inhibiting each other and that previously reported decreases in insulin binding to solubilized insulin receptors were likely due to precipitation by Con A of the receptors.     

Uptake of proteinase-α-macroglobulin complexes by macrophages

Complexes of labelled proteinases (subtilopeptidase A, trypsin) with serum α₁-macroglobulin or α₂-macroglobulin are rapidly taken up in vitro by rabbit alveolar macrophages and peritoneal macrophages but not by mixed rabbit peripheral blood leukocytes. Enzyme, not bound to α₁ - or α₂ -macrogobulin, does not become associated with alveolar macrophages. Chemically inactivated subtilopeptidase A does not bind to α₁ - or α₂ -microglobulin, does not interact with alveolar macrophages. Blocking experiments confirmed that the interaction of proteinase with alveolar macrophages is complex specific; uptake of labelled complex was prevented by the simultaneous addition of macroglobulin complexes formed with non-labelled subtilopeptidase A, subtilopeptidase B, trypsin or chymotrypsin but not by macroglobulin alone. The findings demonstrate a complex-specific interaction between proteinase-α-macroglobulin complexes and macrophages.

Identification and quantification of endogenous gibberellins in apical buds and the cambial region of Eucalyptus

Endogenous gibberellins (GAs) were extracted and purified from apical buds of Eucalyptus nitens (Deane and Maid.) Maid. and the cambial region of E. globulus (Labill.). then analysed by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. GA₁ GA₁₉ GA₂₀ and GA₂₉ were identified by full scan mass spectra. Kovats retention indices and high resolution selected ion monitoring. Using deuterated internal standards. GA₁. GA₁₉. GA₂₀ and putative GA₂₉ and GA₅₃ were quantified in the apical buds, while GA₄. GA₈. GA₉ and GA₄₄ were shown to be either absent or present at very low levels. From the cambial region. GA₁ and GA₂₀ were quantified at levels of 0.30 ng (g fresh weight)-¹ and 8.8 ng (g fresh weight)-¹ respectively. These data suggest that the early 13-hydroxylation pathway is the dominant pathway for GA biosynthesis in Eucalyptus .     

Clinical relevance of the cagA,vacA and iceA genotypes of Helicobacter pylori in Brazilian clinical isolates

Infection with Helicobacter pylori strains harboring determinants of pathogenicity may lead to a strong inflammatory response in gastric mucosa. In this work, we examined the frequency of the cagA, vacA and iceA genotypes in H. pylori strains isolated from Brazilian patients and correlated these with the clinical manifestations. H. pylori was isolated from 165 patients [30 with non-ulcer dyspepsia cases (NUD); 93 peptic ulcer disease (PUD): 31 gastric ulcers (GU) and 62 duodenal ulcer disease (DU); 18 with erosive gastritis (EG); and 24 gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)]. Allelic variants of cagA, vacA and iceA were identified using the polymerase chain reaction. More than one H. pylori strain was detected in 28 cases (17%), and these were excluded from the statistical analysis. We were unable to confirm an association between iceA status and clinical outcome. There was a strong association between the genotype cagA-positive vacA s1 and PUD. However, logistic regression analysis showed that vacA s1 was the only predictive factor for PUD (OR=4.19; 95% CI 1.95-8.98). The presence of the less virulent strain vacA s2 was related to GERD (OR=8.59; 95% CI 2.85-25.91). Our results support the hypothesis that virulent strains may protect against the development of GERD.
