Mitochondrial DNA polymorphism and phylogenetic relationships inHevea brasiliensis

Using fourteen random mitochondrial DNA probes, we have examined restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in wild and cultivatedHevea brasiliensis. A total of 395 accessions, including 345 from various prospectings collected in Brazil, Colombia and Peru and 50 cultivated clones, were analyzed. Two other species (H. benthamiana andH. pauciflora) were also included in the study for comparison. The high level of mitochondrial polymorphism allowed us to divide all the accessions analyzed into 212 distinct genotypes. The genetic variability of cultivated clones was limited to four genotypes forming two clusters. In contrast, considerable genetic variation was found in the wild collections. In almost all cases, accessions displaying the same RFLP profile were restricted to the same geographical area (same or neighbor administrative districts). In addition, accessions whose genetic closeness was predicted by RFLP profiles were also clustered according to geographical origin. In a few cases, however, similar RFLP profiles were found for accessions originating from geographically distant districts. This discrepancy can be explained either by seed dispersion (by river) or possibly by similar genetic events occurring independently in different geographical locations. Chloroplast DNA RFLP was also analyzed in 217 accessions, representative of 126 distinct mitochondrial genotypes. Very few differences were found, indicating that the chloroplast genome is more highly conserved than the mitochondrial genome.

生长抑制素能神经元在人胎丘脑网状核内的分布

本文用免疫细胞化学方法调查了生长抑素（ＳＯＭ）免疫反应神经元在人胎丘脑网状核内的分布。流产的胚胎３例,胎龄分别为１８周,２３周,３２周。意外死亡足月新生儿１例、在１８周胚胎的丘脑网状核内可见少数染色较浅的ＳＯＭ免疫反应阳性神经元,呈圆形。从１８周到３２周,ＳＯＭ免疫反应阳性细胞数明显增多,突起更丰富。在足月新生儿,ＳＯＭ阳性细胞数较３２周有所减少。结果表明,ＳＯＭ阳性神经元存在于人胎丘脑网状核内,并且有一定的发育过程。出现于人脑发育的早期阶段,可能在中枢神经系统的发育过程中起重要的作用。     

人胎视网膜含NOS神经元的发育

本文用一氧化氮合酶（ＮＯＳ）的组织化学方法对胎龄１５周至３６周的人胎视网膜含ＮＯＳ神经元的发育进行了研究。胚胎１５周视网膜颞侧半少部分神经元即有ＮＯＳ的表达,２０周视网膜含ＮＯＳ神经元数密度达峰值。大部分含ＮＯＳ神经元胞体位于内核层内带,只少部分位于节细胞层,其突起均分布于内同层,形成内同层的１、３、５亚层。含ＮＯＳ神经元的形态各异,依据其突起的多少分Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ等三种类型,其中Ⅱ、Ⅲ型含ＮＯＳ神经元在２８周以后才开始出现,且愈近晚期胎龄,它们所占含ＮＯＳ神经元的数量比呈上升趋势。随视网膜发育成熟,含ＮＯＳ神经元胞体均面积呈不断增大的变化。本文结果显示：人胎视网膜内核层含ＮＯＳ神经元为无长突细胞,节细胞层的Ⅰ型含ＮＯＳ神经元为移位无长突细胞,推测它们在视网膜的发育过程中对内网层突触的形成与修饰可能起有重要作用。

Continuous measurement of changes in intracellular calcium concentration in mouse splenic T cells attached to a glass substrate

Mitogen- and isoproterenol-induced changes of [Ca²⁺]_i in T cells attached to a glass substrate were examined. Murine (C57BL/6) splenic T cells were attached to coverslips or 35-mm dishes (MatTek) precoated with Cell Tak® (3.5 µg/cm²). The cells were then loaded with fluorescent dye (2 µg/ml of fura2-AM or fluo3-AM) and changes in [Ca²⁺]_i in a population of cells (using a spectrofluorometer) or in single cells (using a confocal microscope) were measured during continuous superfusion. Population measurements of [Ca²⁺]_i demonstrated that concanavalin A (Con A, 2 or 5 µg/ml) caused an increase in [Ca²⁺]_i that rose to a peak and then declined to a steady state. The concentration-response relationship (0.05–5 µg/ml) had an EC₅₀ of 0.3 µg/ml. Isoproterenol decreased the Con A-induced elevation of steady state [Ca²⁺]_i. In single cell studies, the increase in [Ca²⁺]_i in response to Con A typically occurred in about 50% of the cells in a microscope field, and the delay before activation varied among cells. Taken together, these data demonstrate that Cell Tak® can be used to attach T cells to glass coverslips and will be useful for the study of signaling mechanisms in T cells.

The effect of ethanol on lateral and rotational mobility of plasma membrane vesicles isolated from cultured mar 18.5 hybridoma cells

Intramolecular excimer formation of 1,3-di(1-pyrenyl)propane (Py-3-Py) and fluorescence polarization of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) were used to evaluate the effect of ethanol on the rate and range of the lateral mobility and the range of the rotational mobility of bulk bilayer structures of the plasma membrane vesicles (ATCC-PMV) isolated from cultured hybridoma cells (ATCC TIB 216). In a concentration-dependent manner, ethanol increased the excimer to monomer fluorescence intensity ratio (I/I) of Py-3-Py in the ATCC-PMV and decreased the anisotropy (r), limiting anisotropy (r) and order parameter (S) of DPH in the ATCC-PMV. This indicates that ethanol increased both the lateral and rotational mobility of the probes in the ATCC-PMV. Selective quenching of DPH by trinitrophenyl groups was utilized to examine the range of transbilayer asymmetric rotational diffusion of the ATCC-PMV. The anisotropy (r), limiting anisotropy (r ) and order parameter (S) of DPH in the inner monolayer were 0.024, 0.032, and 0.069, respectively, greater than calculated for the outer monolayer of the ATCC-PMV. Selective quenching of DPH by trinitrophenyl groups was also used to examine the transbilayer asymmetric effects of ethanol on the range of the rotational mobility of the ATCC-PMV. Ethanol had a greater increasing effect on the range of the rotational mobility of the outer monolayer as compared to the inner monolayer of the ATCC-PMV. It has been proven that ethanol exhibits a selective rather than nonselective fluidizing effect within the transbilayer domains of the ATCC-PMV.This paper was supported in part by a research grant from the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF 88-1013-01) and from the Korea Research Foundation (1991–1993).
