Phagocytosis by carp granulocytes; in vivo and in vitro observations

The phagocytic ability of carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) granulocytes was evaluated in vivo and in vitro. In suspensions of head kidney cells, neutrophil granulocytes incorporated both latex beads and coccidian merozoites. In intestinal tissues from carp with a Goussia carpelli infection, all granulocyte cell types (neutrophils and cells of the basophilic-eosinophilic complex) phagocytosed cell detritus and coccidian developmental stages, mainly merozoites.     

Partial expression of catecholaminergic traits in cholinergic chick ciliary ganglia: Studies in vivo and in vitro

We have previously demonstrated that at embryonic Day (E) 8, some cells of the chick ciliary ganglion (CG) contain the catecholaminergic (CA) enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), but not phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase (PNMT); and that in culture essentially all cells express both enzymes. In the present study, we sought to determine, first, whether the expression of adrenergic traits in the CG in vivo is transient or permanent in the CG. To do so, CGs were removed from E5 to postnatal Day 5, fixed, and processed for the immunocytochemical localization of the CA enzymes: TH, L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC), and PNMT. At all stages examined, some CG neurons expressed TH immunoreactivity (TH-IR) and all contained AADC-IR. However, none stained with PNMT antibodies, indicating that these cells stably express some, but not all, of the CA enzymes. Second, we examined whether CG neurons in culture expressed other CA markers. CG neurons did not contain detectable levels of TH enzyme activity nor did they transport and store exogenously supplied monoamines. These results indicate that some but not all traits necessary for adrenergic function are present in CG neurons in vitro. Third, we sought to establish whether CA expression in CG neurons is affected by modification in culture conditions. Cultures of CG neurons continued to express TH-IR even when grown in the presence of either 50% HCM or 20 mM KCl for 5 days. Finally, the expression of the cholinergic enzyme, choline acetyltransferase (CAT) was assessed in CG cultures by biochemical assay. CAT activity increased five-fold between 5 and 17 days in vitro, irrespective of the presence of TH-IR in 100% of the CG neurons of sister cultures. These data suggest that at least a subpopulation of CG neurons express both TH and CAT in culture. We conclude that the postmitotic neurons of the CG are able to express some but not all of the traits characteristic of a CA phenotype while maintaining cholinergic expression. These findings suggest that (1) the appearance of the full complement of adrenergic properties is not coordinated and may be regulated by different environmental cues and (2) parasympathetic neurons can express both adrenergic and cholinergic traits simultaneously.     

Novel in vitro and in vivo inhibitors of prolyl endopeptidase

Inhibition of prolyl endopeptidase by Z-cyclohexyl prolinal and Z-indolinyl prolinal occurs with slow, tight binding inhibition and K_i values of 2 – 3 nM. In vivo enzyme inhibition is also observed with a half time for recovery of enzyme activity of 3 – 4 h.Inhibition of prolyl endopeptidase by Z-cyclohexyl prolinal and Z-indolinyl prolinal occurs with slow, tight binding inhibition and K_i values of 2 – 3 nM.

Tailoring of alginates by enzymatic modification in vitro

High molecular weight alginates having a variety of initial composition and sequential structures were modified with a mannuronan-C-5 epimerase from Azotobacter vinelandii to yield polymers with a high content of guluronic acid and, hence, an enhanced ability to form gels with calcium ions. The monad, diad and triad frequencies in the modified polymers were determined by n.m.r. spectroscopy, and the strength of homogeneous gels prepared from them with calcium ions were measured and compared with those prepared from the starting materials and other naturally occurring alginates. Immobilization of the bacterial enzyme on Eupergite beads greatly increased its stability and favoured high degree of conversion.

Radiosensitization mechanism of riboflavin in vitro

Riboflavin, suggested to be a radiosensitizer, was studied in murine thymocytes and human hepatoma L02 cell line in vitro with MTT method and fluorescence microscopy. When the murine thymocytes treated with 5–400 μmol/L riboflavin were irradiated by 5 Gy ⁶⁰Co γ ionizing radiation, the low concentration groups, i.e. treated with 5–50 μmol/L riboflavin, showed a different surviving fractions-time relating correlation compared with the high concentration groups, i.e. treated with 100–400 μmol/L riboflavin. The former had a high survival level at the end of irradiation, but which, after 4-h incubation, decreased rapidly to a low level. On the contrary, the high concentration groups showed a low survival level at the end of irradiation, and a poor correlation was found between the surviving fraction and the incubation time, after 4 h a little difference was observed. The results of fluorescence microscopy indicated that under low concentration conditions, the riboflavin localized mainly in nucleus (both perinuclear area and inside of nuclear membrane), while under high concentration conditions, intensive riboflavin also localized around cytoplasmic membranes. Thus we can conclude: the riboflavin had radiosensitivity effect on DNA under low concentration conditions, and enhanced the damage to cytoplasmic membrane under high concentration conditions. Also the most effective concentration of riboflavin can be evaluated to be approximate 100 μmol/L.

采用气相色谱-质谱法（GC-MS）及MTT法（MTT assay）对香椿〔Toona sinensis （A. Juss.） Roem.〕的果实香椿子的石油醚提取物组成成分和体外抗肿瘤活性进行研究。气相色谱-质谱法分析结果表明,从香椿子石油醚提取物的甲酯化与非甲酯化样品中共检测出108种成分,这些成分类型以萜类、烃类以及有机酸为主,从甲酯化样品中检测鉴定了67种,非甲酯化样品中检测鉴定了65种,24种为两个样品中的共有成分。在这些成分中,γ-谷甾醇、豆甾-4-烯-3-酮、亚油酸甲酯、棕榈酸甲酯等成分的相对含量均在8.0%以上。提取物对HepG2、THP-1、Hela、MCF-7均显示出一定的抑制作用,其中,对THP-1细胞在最大考察浓度的抑制率为（60.64±1.37）%。     

Trichinella spiralis and Trichinella pseudospiralis induce collagen synthesis by host fibroblasts in vitro and in vivo

Immunoperoxidase staining of muscle infected with Trichinella spiralis for murine collagen types I and IV provided both qualitative and quantitative evidence of extensive synthesis of both types of collagen by fibroblasts in infected muscle compared to that seen uninfected muscle. Moreover, fibroblasts in muscle infected with T. pseudospiralis, a nonencapsulating species, showed significantly less staining for both types of collagen compared to muscle from mice infected with T. spiralis. Analysis of collagen composition of isolated nurse cells using an ELISA specific for either type I or type IV murine collagen suggested that of these 2 types of collagen, only type IV basement membrane collagen is found in Trichinella capsular collagen. Excretory/secretory products of T. spiralis and T. pseudospiralis induced extensive synthesis of exclusively type IV collagen by 3T3 murine fibroblasts in vitro.     

Dietary phytoestrogens and cancer: in vitro and in vivo studies

Thirty postmenopausal women (11 omnivores, 10 vegetarians and 9 apparently healthy women with surgically removed breast cancer) were investigated with regard to the association of their urinary excretion of estrogens, lignans and isoflavonoids (all diphenols) with plasma sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). A statistically significant positive correlation between urinary total diphenol excretion and plasma SHBG was found which remained statistically significant after elimination of the confounding effect of body mass determined by body mass index (BMI). Furthermore we found a statistically significant negative correlation between plasma SHBG and urinary excretion of 16α-hydroxyestrone and estriol which also remained significant after eliminating the effect of BMI. Furthermore we observed that enterolactone (Enl) stimulates the synthesis of SHBG by HepG2 liver cancer cells in culture acting synergistically with estradiol and at physiological concentrations. Enl was rapidly conjugated by the liver cells, mainly to its monosulfate. Several lignans and the isoflavonoids daidzein and equol were found to compete with estradiol for binding to the rat uterine type II estrogen binding site (the s.c. bioflavonoid receptor). It is suggested that lignans and isoflavonoids may affect uptake and metabolism of sex hormones by participating in the regulation of plasma SHBG levels and in this way influence their biological activity and that they may inhibit cancer cell growth like some flavonoids by competing with estradiol for the type II estrogen binding sites.     

Developmental profiles of glial enzymes in the chick embryo: In vivo and in culture

The activities of two glial cell enzymes, glutamine synthetase (a marker for astrocytes) and 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphohydrolase (a marker for oligodendrocytes and myelination) were studied in the developing chick embryo brain in vivo and in cultures derived from chick embryos. The in vivo findings showed that the activities of both enzymes parallel the patterns of gliogenesis and myelination. Glutamine synthetase follows similar patterns in culture and in vivo, whereas the developmental profile of 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphohydrolase appears to be affected by the culture conditions.

Influence of in vitro growth conditions on in vitro and ex vitro photosynthetic rates of easy- and difficult-to-acclimatize sea oats (Uniola paniculata L.) genotypes

Net photosynthetic rates (P _n) of easy (EK 16-3) and difficult-to-acclimatize (EK 11-1) sea oats genotypes were examined under the following culture conditions: (1) photoautotrophic [sugar-free medium, high photosynthetic photon flux (PPF), high vessel ventilation rates and CO₂ enrichment, (PA)]; (2) modified photomixotrophic [sugar-containing medium diluted with sugar-free medium over time, high PPF, and high vessel ventilation rates (PM)]; (3) modified photomixotrophic enriched [same as PM with CO₂ enrichment, (PME)]; or (4) conventional photomixotrophic [sugar-containing medium, low PPF, and low vessel ventilation rates (control)]. Regardless of genotype, plantlets cultured under PA conditions died within 2 wk, whereas under PM and PME conditions, plantlets increased their P _n. After 6 wk, P _n per gram dry weight was 1.7 times greater in EK 16-3 than EK 11-1 plantlets cultured under PME conditions. In vitro-produced leaves of EK 16-3 plantlets were elongated with expanded blades, whereas EK 11-1 produced short leaves without expanded blades, especially under control conditions. After in vitro culture, EK 16-3 PME plantlets exhibited the highest dry weights among treatments. EK 16-3 PME and EK 16-3 PM had similarly high survivability, shoot and root dry weights and leaf lengths ex vitro compared to EK 16-3 control and EK 11-1 PM and PME plantlets. Ex vitro growth, survivability and P _n per leaf area of either genotype were not affected by CO₂ enrichment under modified photomixotrophic conditions. These results suggest that growth and survivability of sea oats genotypes with different acclimatization capacities can be enhanced by optimizing culture conditions.

Inhibition of gluconeogenesis in vitro by a metabolite of hypoglycin

An investigation was made on the effect of methylenecyclopropane-pyruvic acid on gluconeogenesis in vitro, using slices of rat kidney cortex. The compound is a metabolite of hypoglycin, which is the toxic amino acid occurring in the ackee plant (Blighia sapida, König). Glucose production from a variety of precursors was found to be markedly inhibited, the agent being active at low concentrations (0.1 mM). The site of the block was located specifically at the fructose 1,6-diphosphatase reaction. However, the mechanism by which this effect is achieved is not known.
