Caloric Restriction: Conservation of in Vivo Cellular Replicative Capacity Accompanies Life-Span Extension in Mice

In male mice of a long-lived hybrid strain (B6D2F1), long-term 40% caloric restriction (CR) extended both mean and maximum life spans by 36 and 20%, respectively, over that of ad libitum fed (AL) controls. Measurements of entry into S-phase were made in vivo of six different cell types in five different organs using 2-week exposures to BrdU. The labeling index (L.I.) in all organs studied was lower in young CR mice than in young AL fed mice. In most cases, the L.I. in AL mice fell to the levels of that in the CR mice by 13 months of age, and the two groups then remained so through old age. However, when the L.I. was measured in old CR mice which had been placed on the AL diet for a period of 4 weeks (this was termed refeeding (RF)), it was found to be above that of similar age AL or CR mice and almost at the level of young AL mice. This was still true, but to a lesser degree, in a repeat study using an 8-week period of RF. In a separate but parallel in vitro study (companion paper, this volume), the superiority of CR over AL for retention of cellular replication capacity was confirmed by clone size distribution measurements made in several cell types in mice of several age groups. These results indicate that: (1) the rate of cell replication in AL diet mice diminishes greatly by early middle age in all organ sites studied and then plateaus or declines much more slowly; (2) CR broadly preserves in vivo cellular replicative capacity but often requires the energy levels provided by a switch to AL feeding to demonstrate this late in life; (3) accordingly, the replicative deficit in AL fed mice appears to be cumulative and is significant only in old age. The mechanism(s) involved is yet to be discovered but may be related to, or even the same as, that which extends life spans in CR animals. Correspondingly, and with corroborative data from our in vitro companion study, (W. R. Pendergrass et al., 1995. Exp. Cell. Res. 217, 309-316), we suggest that cell populations sustain an accrual of biochemical damage or physiological alterations which increasingly limit their replicative capacity as the animal ages, and that CR reduces the accrual of this damage.     

in vitro generation of IFN-γ-producing Listeria-specific T cells is dependent on IFN-γ production by non-NK cells

In vitro 5-day cultures of naive spleen cells with viable Listeria monocytogenes (VLM), but not heat-killed L. monocytogenes, induced CD4⁺ T cells that produced IFN-γ upon secondary antigen stimulation. The VLM-induced Listeria-specific T cells produced IFN-γ but lacked expression of IL-2 and IL-4. To study the role of IFN-γ in the induction of the IFN-γ-producing T cells, we added anti-IFN-γ mAb to the primary culture and analyzed IFN-γ production upon secondary antigen stimulation. Addition of anti-IFN-γ mAb to the culture suppressed generation of IFN-γ-producing CD4⁺ T cells, suggesting that IFN-γ is important in the induction of IFN-γ-producing CD4⁺ T cells. Furthermore, our results showed that depletion of NK cells from spleen cells by anti-asialo GM1 antibody plus complement before culture enhanced induction of IFN-γ-producing CD4⁺ T cells. Although NK cells are known to produce IFN-γ, the results indicate that NK cell-derived IFN-γ may not be important in induction of the Listeria-specific IFN-γ-producing CD4⁺ T cells in the culture system. In addition, we demonstrated that IFN-γ expression was high in CD4⁺ T cells from cultures of spleen cells with VLM at the primary culture level. These results suggest that IFN-γ derived from T cells may enhance production of IFN-γ by CD4⁺ T cells, while NK cells rather suppress the induction of IFN-γ-producing CD4⁺ T cells.     

Synthesis and antiplatelet, antiinflammatory, and antiallergic activities of 2-substituted 3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives

A series of 2-substituted 3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinones was synthesized, and the antiplatelet, antiinflammatory, and antiallergic activities of these compounds were evaluated. The structure-activity relationships in this series were also examined. Most of the 2-alkyl/arylcarboxamido derivatives of 3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone showed potent activities with similar trends in each of the activities evaluated.

Some applications of reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography to oligosaccharide separations

Oligosaccharide separation on reversed-phase high-performance liquid chormatographic columns have been examined using a range of aqueous solvents. Addition of anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants, tetramethyl urea and organic solvents to the mobile phase cause faster elution of oligosaccharides, and allow the separation of the larger oligomers in an acceptable time. Addition of neutral, inorganic salts increase the retention factors considerably, and allows good resolution of some compounds poorly resolved in water alone.The mechanism operating in the separations approximates to that invoked in the solvophobic theory of reversed-phase chromatography. There is some evidence also of hydrogen bond effects. The improvements described should prove useful in the isolation and analysis of neutral oligosaccharides in general, and in structural analyses of polysaccharides in paritcular.     

Haemodynamic and renin responses to prostacyclin infusion in Na depleted and Na restricted sheep

The haemodynamic and renin responses to prostacyclin (PGI2) infusion were examined in sheep during sodium depletion and dietary sodium restriction. The haemodynamic effects of PGI2 infusion in sodium depleted and sodium restricted sheep were similar to those obtained in the sodium replete animal. The renin proportionate response to PGI2 was not altered by sodium restriction but blunted by sodium depletion, compatible with the hypothesis that endogenous PGI2 is high in Na depletion.     

Studies on sex-organ development. Oestrogenic effect on ornithine decarboxylase activity in the differentiating Müllerian ducts and other organs of the chick embryo.

The activity of ornithine decarboxylase in the differentiating left and right Müllerian ducts was assayed and compared with that in other embryonic organs, i.e. the liver and the brain throughout the stages of development. In general the enzyme activity was high in the early stages and decreased extensively in the late stages of development. Specifically, in the left and righ Müllerian ducts, the enzyme activity was high from day 8 to day 9 of incubation. In the right duct the enzyme activity started to decline on day 9 and then continuously decreased to an almost undetectable value on day 18 of incubation. In the left duct the enzyme activity also decreased slightly from day 9 to day 12; however, it increased from day 13 to day 15 and finally decreased to a constant value from day 18 until hatching. The alteration in enzyme activity in the Müllerian duct as assayed in vitro during development is not due to the effect of the size of the endogenous ornithine pool. When the enzyme activity was subjected to oestrogen stimulation, an increase of 5--10-fold for the left duct and of 5--3-fold for the right duct was observed during the course of development. No such stimulation was observed with the treatment of progesterone. Testosterone consistently caused a 25--30% inhibition of the enzyme activity in the Müllerian duct. Oestrogen slightly stimulated the enzyme activity in the developing liver but inhibited that of the brain. The concentration of the three polyamines measured in the Müllerian duct corresponds to the activity of the enzyme determined.     

Studies on sex-organ development. Changes in nuclear and chromatin composition and genomic activity during spermatogenesis in the maturing rooster testis.

We developed a technique to separate nuclei of rooster testis by centrifugation through a discontinuous sucrose density gradient and by sedimentation at unit gravity. Four different major fractions obtained from testicular nuclei and one from the vas deferens were characterized according to their velocity of sedimentation, morphology and DNA content. The ratios (w/w) of basic proteins, non-histone proteins and RNA to DNA decreased during spermiogenesis both in nuclei and chromatin. Changes in the electrophoretic patterns of histones and non-histone proteins were detected especially in the elongated spermatids. The lack of uptake of [3H]uridine in elongating and elongated spermatids and in spermatozoa was demonstrated by radioautography and by the detection of labelled RNA extracted from different fractions of nuclei. Template activity for RNA synthesis and the binding of actinomycin D by testicular nuclei reached a peak in the elongated spermatid stage, when the histones are replaced by the protamine.
