Comparison of transforming growth factor β and a human tumour-derived suppressor factor

Summary Serum-free supernatants from the human melanoma cell line G361 contain a factor that can potently suppress the generation of tumouricidal lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells in response to interleukin-2. To characterise the suppressive factor of tumour origin we performed a number of physicochemical and functional comparisons with another immunosuppressive protein, transforming growth factor (TGF). The bioactivity of tumour-derived suppressor factor (TDSF), assayed by suppression of LAK cell generation, was unaffected by a reducing agent but lost when denatured with a chaotropic agent. In contrast, TGF was inactivated by reduction but not denaturation. TDSF lost bioactivity in conditions of pH less than 4, whereas TGF showed no loss of activity. The TDSF moiety has an estimated pI of 4.3 and a molecular mass of 69–87 kDa. This differs from published values of pI 9.5, and 25 kDa molecular mass for TGF. Anti-TGF antiserum reversed the effects of TGF but did not affect the suppression of LAK cell generation caused by TDSF. These findings provide compelling evidence that the TDSF moiety is not TGF, and may be a novel immunoregulatory cytokine.     

Brain injury: New insights into neurotransmitter and receptor mechanisms

The studies reviewed here represent a continuing search for mechanisms which play a role in neurological disturbances resulting from brain injury. Focal cortical freezing lesions in rats were shown to cause a widespread decrease in local cerebral glucose utilization (LCGU) in cortical areas of the lesioned hemisphere and this was interpreted as reflecting a depression of cortical activity. Such an interpretation was supported by the finding that in lesioned brain reduction of cerebral metabolism by pentobarbital and isoflurane was limited by the metabolic depression that has already occurred as a result of injury and by the demonstration that the energy status and substrate (glucose) supply in the cortical areas in the injured brain have not been compromised at the time when LCGU was decreased. Both the serotonergic and the noradrenergic neurotransmitter systems were implicated in functional alterations associated with injury. Cortical serotonin (5-HT) metabolism was increased throughout the lesioned hemisphere and complete inhibition of 5-HT synthesis withp-chlorophenylalanine ameliorated the decrease in cortical LCGU, interpreted as reflecting cortical functional depression. Cortical norepinephrine metabolism was bilaterally increased in focally injured brain, while prazosin, a selective ₁-noradrenergic receptor blocker, normalized cortical LCGU in the lesioned hemisphere. Low-affinity in vivo binding of [¹²⁵I]HEAT, another selective ₁-receptor ligand, was specifically increased in cortical areas of the lesioned hemisphere at the time of the greatest depression in LCGU, suggesting that ₁-adrenoreceptors may be of functional importance in injured brain. The general conclusion from this series of studies on mechanisms underlying functional disturbances in injured brain is that both the serotonergic and the noradrenergic neurotransmitter systems are involved in the widespread cortical depression which develops with time as a consequence of a focal lesion. The data are compatible with the inhibitory effects of NE and 5-HT in the cortex and with the hypothesis that these two transmitter systems affect cortical information processing.     

A bioluminescent assay for the determination of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activity in nanogram-sized tissue samples

A highly specific and sensitive assay for the determination of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) in nanogram-sized tissue samples is described. This test system is based on the stoichiometric transformation of phosphoenolpyruvate into ATP. In a subsequent step ATP is quantified by bioluminescent techniques. The applicability of this assay system is shown by measurements in liver samples with normal and high PEPCK activity levels.     

Hydrobiology and organic production in a marl lake of Kashmir Himalayan Valley

L. Naranbagh (alt. 1587 m) is a polymictic, shallow marl lake in the flood-plain valley of Kashmir, India. Macrofloral affinities resemble Potamogeton Type of Forsberg (1965) with alkaline waters, not rich in phosphorus. CaCO₃ precipitation coupled with decline in Ca²⁺ and alkalinity values are characteristic of the lake. Fluctuations in Mg²⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, and Cl^– were relatively conservative. The levels of PO _inf4 ^sup3– -P and NO _inf3 ^sup– -N indicate moderate fertility of the lake water.Persistence of a summer-autumn planktonic algal pulse is related to favourable irradiance, high water temperatures, and increased photosynthetic efficiency values. The most striking seasonality in photosynthetic rates (m^–2 h^–1) between winter minimum (3 mg C_assim) and summer maximum (75.4 mg C_assim) is determined by mainly climatic changes. Energy flow gave annual phytoplankton production of 51.95 × 10² KJ m^–2 for the ecosystem.The nutrient levels and productivity rates suggest mesotrophic status of L. Naranbagh in classic oligoeutrophic classification of lake types.

1-Methylguanine and 7-methylguanine increase cell agglutinability

Summary 1-Methylguanine and 7-methylguanine, both metabolic products of tRNA degradation, are known to induce transformation of Chinese hamster fibroblasts in culture. The effects of these compounds on the cell membrane have been studied by the method of Concanavalin A-mediated hemadsorption. 1-Methylguanine or 7-methylguanine induced a 50% increase of Con A-mediated hemadsorption within 20 hours of exposure of the cells to the agent at a concentration of 10^-5 M. This alteration was reversed within 13 days when the cells were grown in the control medium. Prolonged treatment with 1-methylguanine or 7-methylguanine resulted in changes which were only slowly reversed during growth of the cells in the control medium. The effect of the methylated purines on the cell membrane could be completely inhibited by simultaneous addition of dibutyryl-cAMP at a concentration of 10^-5 M. The possible mechanism of cell membrane alteration by methylated purines and its relevance to transformation in vitro are discussed.     

Numerical abundance of myxomycetes (myxogastrids) in soils in the West of England

Abstract A most-probable-number technique was used to quantify the abundance of myxomycetes (myxogastrids) in soil samples taken from 23 'Sites of Special Scientific Interest' and one other site in the West of England. Associated organisms and soil conditions were also recorded. Sixteen of the 24 sites yielded myxomycete plasmodium-forming units (PFUs) in numbers averaging 230 cm⁻³ fresh soil. Where detectable in samples of grassland soil, the numbers ranged from 20–2750 cm⁻³, in woodland soil from 20–800 cm⁻³, and in sand dunes from 80–400 cm⁻³. Repeated sampling revealed changing numbers at single sites. The abundance of PFUs was correlated positively with numbers of soil amoebae, ciliates and nematodes, and with levels of magnesium and soil density, and negatively with organic matter content and levels of NH₄-nitrogen and phosphate. Each PFU probably corresponded to one or several uninucleate cells in the soil rather than to a plasmodium.
