Expression of c-myc protooncogene in rat lens cells during development,maturation and reversal of galactose cataracts

It is well established that normal patterns of epithelial cell proliferation and metabolism, and of fiber cell differentiation and maturation are essential for the maintenance of transparency in the ocular lens. Several factors, including exposure to high levels of sugars, have been known to result in the compromise of lens transparency. For example, initiation of lens cell damage by galactose induces lens epithelial cells to proliferate. Elevated levels of c-myc mRNA have usually been correlated with rapid cell growth and increased entry of cells into the S phase. Therefore, changes in c-myc mRNA levels may provide an early indication of the stimulation of lens epithelial cells to proliferate and differentiate, which has been postulated to be an early and important event in response to lens cell injury by galactose. By Northern blot hybridization analysis we quantitated c-myc mRNA levels in the lens capsule epithelia of rats (1) exposed to galactose, and (2) undergoing a partial recovery from the galactose-induced cell damage. At the onset of lens cell damage, we find c-myc mRNA to elevate to 6-fold by 24 hr, and by 48 hr decreases to about 3-fold the normal levels. During recovery, c-myc mRNA continues to be expressed at high levels approaching a 10-fold increase by day 12, then decreasing to levels of about 8-fold the control by day 30. The 24 h transitory elevation in c-myc mRNA in lens epithelial cells is in accord with our previous observations on the 24 h increase in MP26, crystallin and aldose reductase mRNAs following a high influx of galactose. Therefore, the elevation in c-myc mRNA as well suggest that galactose appears to cause lens cells to undergo an early transitory period of gene induction following the exposure of lens cells to galactose.     

Assignment of a novel protein tyrosine phosphatase gene (Hcph) to mouse chromosome 6.

Hematopoietic cell phosphatase (Hcph) was identified by amplification of conserved protein tyrosine phosphatase sequences from a myeloid cell line and is predominantly expressed in hematopoietic cells. Hcph is unique in containing two, tandemly repeated, src-homology 2 domains in the amino terminal region of the phosphatase. Using a genomic probe in interspecific backcross analysis, the murine Hcph gene maps to mouse Chromosome 6 and is tightly linked to the Tnfr-2 and Ly-4 genes.     

Multiplicity of soluble glucan-synthase activity in spinach leaves: Enzyme pattern and intracellular location

Buffer-extractable proteins from leaves of Spinacia oleracea L. were separated by non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Gels were stained for adenosine diphosphoglucose (ADPglucose)-dependent glucan-synthase (GS) activity (EC 2.4.1.21). Three major forms of activity were observed. No staining was detectable when ADPglucose was replaced by an equimolar concentration of either uridine, guanosine or cytosine diphosphoglucose. Two of the three GS forms exhibited both primed and citrate-stimulated unprimed activity whereas one enzyme form was strictly dependent upon the presence of an exogenous glucan. For intracellular localization, mesophyll protoplasts and intact chloroplasts were isolated and their enzyme pattern was compared with that of the leaf extract. Intactness and purity of the chloroplast preparations were ascertained by polarographic measurement of the ferricyanide- or CO₂-dependent oxygen evolution, by determination of marker-enzyme activities, and by electrophoretic evaluation of the content of chloroplast- and cytosol-specific glucanphosphorylase forms (EC 2.4.1.1). The three GS forms were present in mesophyll protoplasts. Intact chloroplasts possessed both primer-independent enzyme forms but lacked the primer-dependent one. The latter form was enriched in supernatant fractions of leaf homogenates when the intact chloroplasts had been pelleted by centrifugation. Thus, in spinach-leaf mesophyll cells soluble ADPglucose-dependent GS is located both inside and outside the chloroplast.Abbreviations GS glucan synthase - PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis This work has been made possible by grants from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and from the Minister für Wissenschaft und Forschung des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen.

对冷适应大鼠棕色脂肪和肝脏在非寒颤产热机制中作用的评价

本实验主要观察并比较了大鼠冷适应前后直肠温度(RT)、血清游离脂肪酸(SFFA)浓度、肩胛间棕色脂肪组织(IBAT)和肝脏cAMP含量的变化及其对去甲肾上腺素(NE)反应性的改变。结果表明:①冷适应28d大鼠在冷环境中RT稳定,NE刺激后RT上升幅度大于常温对照组(P<0.005);②冷适应1d组SFFA升高,冷适应28d组SFFA接近对照组,且对NE刺激无反应,对照组给NE后SFFA与RT一致性升高;③冷适应28d组IBAT的cAMP升高,而肝脏的cAMP含量三组间无显著性差异。NE刺激后,冷适应28d组IBAT和肝脏cAMP均升高,与RT反应一致,而对照组不变。结果提示,在5±3℃适应28d的大鼠已建立冷适应机制,非寒颤产热(NST)容量增加,在冷适应的不同时期,肝脏和IBAT调节NST的机制不同。

森林土壤氮转化的微生物功能研究

本文研究了不同林型下土壤(A+6层和A_1层)微生物、土壤酶活性在森林土壤氮转化中的作用。结果表明不同林型下土壤具有不同的固氮作用、反硝化作用、氨化作用和硝化作用速率,即阔叶林>针阔混交林>针叶林。已经证明,固氮作用主要存在于森林土壤的A_1层,反硝化作用主要存在于A_0层。森林土壤存在2种硝化作用过程,即由自养微生物所引起的自养硝化作用过程和异养微生物所引起的异养硝化作用过程。它的存在与林型有关,某些森林土壤中这2种硝化作用过程都存在,如针阔混交林下的A_0层和A_1层。有些林型下土壤,则以异养硝化作用过程为主,如针叶林的A_0层。     

Eliminating primers from completed polymerase chain reactions with exonuclease VII.

Single-stranded oligonucleotide primers can be efficiently removed after PCR using E.coli exonuclease VII. Even only a few molecules of double stranded PCR product are unaffected by a treatment which eliminates 20 picomoles of primer in the presence of 500 ng of denatured genomic DNA. Exonuclease VII treatment is rapid and could simplify complicated multistep PCR protocols.
