The effect of carbamylcholine on CFU-s differentiation

The proportion of spleen colony-forming units (CFU-s) killed by hydroxyurea was greatly increased after bone marrow cells (BMCs) from LACA mice were exposed to carbamylcholine (Cach; 1 X 10(-13) to 1 X 10(-9) in vitro and there was a marked change in the proportion of spleen colony types. Following treatment with Cach, granulocytic and mixed erythroid-type colonies increased from 20 to 26.3% and 16.1 to 29.6% in 9-day colonies and from 8.3 to 28.2% and 21.7 to 39.4% in 13-day colonies, respectively. Single cell suspensions of spleen colonies were made for granulocyte-macrophage progenitor (CFU-gm) and late erythroid progenitor (CFU-e) assays. The number of CFU-gm from Cach-treated BMC was about twice that from control BMC for both day 9 and day 13 groups; the number of CFU-e decreased relatively. The results suggest that cholinergic receptors on CFU-s may increase the tendency to differentiate into the granulocytic/monocytic line.     

Phase I study of combination recombinant interleukin-2 and interferon gamma in patients with advanced malignancies

A phase I trial of interleukin-2 and interferon gamma combination treatment in patients with advanced malignancies was performed based on preclinical in vitro and in vivo data which demonstrated synergistic antitumor effect. The toxicities, immune parameters, and tumor responses are described. The clinical and biologic maximal tolerated doses were extrapolated from these data.

Recombinational resolution in primate cells of two homologous human DNA segments with a gradient of sequence divergence.

Human alpha-thalassemia-2 genotype -alpha 4.2 is the result of meiotic recombination between two 1.3 kb long, homologous DNA segments, X(alpha 2) and X(alpha 1), located in the adult alpha globin locus. The two segments can also undergo intramolecular recombination on extrachromosomal vectors transfected into mitotically dividing primate cells (COS 7). The existence of a gradient of sequence divergence between X(alpha 2) and X(alpha 1) makes them an interesting system to study the relationship between efficiencies of homologous DNA recombination and the extent of dispersed and localized base mismatches. By partial restriction mapping and DNA sequencing of plasmids recombined in COS 7 cells and rescued from bacteria HB 101, we have determined the distribution of recombinational resolution sites along the two X blocks. Most, if not all, of the homologous recombination events between the two X blocks appear to be single crossing-over without efficient gene correction or repair of base mismatches. The distribution of the sites of recombinational resolution is inversely correlated with that of the gradient of sequence divergence, with only approximately 7% of the X recombinants resolved within the 3' third of the X blocks where two diverged Alu family repeats reside. The Alu sequence within which one of the X recombinants resolved is homologous to a previously characterized alpha thalassemia deletion point.     

Membrane permeability parameters for some amino acids and beta-lactam antibiotics: application of the boundary layer approach

The boundary layer approach to analyzing the results of the perfused intestinal segment method of measuring membrane permeabilities is applied to the amino acids; leucine, valine, phenylalanine, lysine and aspartic acid and the beta-lactam antibiotics, cephalexin and penicillin V. The analysis indicates that in determining the membrane parameters, Pw vs. Cw data are preferable to using Jss = PwCw vs. Cw data. It is further shown that the carrier permeability, Pc* = Jmax*/Km, may be the most significant parameter to consider since luminal amino acid or drug concentration may generally be below the Km value. A comparison of P*c values for the beta-lactams with results for passively absorbed compounds indicates that the cephalosporins would be expected to be well absorbed orally based on the perfusion results. This suggests that this approach may be useful in estimating oral drug absorption for compounds that are absorbed passively as well as by a carrier-mediated mechanism.     

锰重组钙调蛋白水质子弛豫速率的研究

钙调蛋白(CaM)是一种多功能调节蛋白,它含有4个Ca~(2+)结合域.晶体研究表明所有Ca~(2+)都与主链氧原子及酸性残基侧链氧原子配位,但Ca~(2+)的配位层中是否有水分子存在尚未确定.木文利用核磁共振技术,以Mn~(2+)为探针,通过测定水质子的核磁弛豫速率T_(1P)_(-1)建立了有关Ca~(2+)配位层中水分子数目的模型,该模型指出Cam中高、低亲和位上Ca~(2+)结合水的能力不同,高亲和位上Ca~(2+)的配位层中没有水分子存在,而低亲和位上Ca~(2+)配位层中含两个水分子.
