    Notes: Abstract. A newly established human lymphoma cell line (OZ) has the t(14;18)(q32;q21) translocation and expresses large amounts of Bcl-2 compared to CCRF-CEM cells. VP-16 (40 μg/mL), a promising agent against lymphoma, caused DNA fragmentation (26.9% of total DNA) typical for apoptosis at 6 h in CCRF-CEM cells, but no significant changes in OZ cells until 24 h after the addition of VP-16. However, coincubation with calphostin C (0.2 μg/mL), a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, induced DNA fragmentation in VP-16-treated OZ cells (13.5% of total DNA) at 6 h after the treatment. Simultaneous immunoblot analysis revealed that this induction of apoptosis coincided with the downregulation of serine-phosphorylated Bcl-2 (13% of control cells). By contrast, apoptosis induced by VP-16 in CCRF-CEM cells was attenuated by the addition of 0.5 μM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, a potent PKC stimulator. These observations suggest that Bcl-2 function is partly regulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation mechanisms of the PKC system, and that phosphorylated Bcl-2 in lymphoma cells may play a role in the prevention of apoptosis.

    Notes: Abstract. It has been suggested that cytokeratin 19 is expressed in regenerated bronchoepithelial cells in patients with pulmonary fibrosis, and serum cytokeratin 19 fragment is elevated in patients with pulmonary fibrosis. We hypothesized that serum antibodies to cytokeratin 19 may be formed in patients with pulmonary fibrosis. To prove the existence of anti-cytokeratin 19 antibodies in patients' sera, human recombinant cytokeratin 19 was stained with patients' sera by a Western immunoblot. Then, we tried to establish an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to quantitate anti-cytokeratin 19 antibody in the sera of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and pulmonary fibrosis associated with collagen vascular disorders (PF-CVD). We demonstrated the anti-cytokeratin 19 antibody in patient' sera by a Western immunoblot. In patients with IPF and PF-CVD, significantly high anti-cytokeratin 19 antibody was demonstrated compared with normal volunteers, patients with chronic bronchitis, and patients with pneumonia. These results suggest that anti-cytokeratin 19 antibody may have played a role in the process of lung injury in pulmonary fibrosis.

    Notes: Summary Conspicuous differences in the distributional pattern of nerve fibers containing corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) or posterior lobe hormones, respectively, were shown in the median eminence of the adult male rat by means of immunoperoxidase histochemistry, with the use of anti-CRF, anti-oxytocin, and anti-vasopressin sera. In the rostral and central divisions of the median eminence, a high concentration of CRF-immunoreactive nerve fibers was found in the median portion of the external layer; these fibers terminated on the capillary loops of the hypophysial portal system. In the caudal division of the median eminence, the CRF-immunoreactive nerve fibers were located in the median to paramedian portions of the external layer. Numerous oxytocin- and vasopressin-immunoreactive nerve fibers were observed evenly distributed throughout the internal layer of the median eminence. In the external layer, a small number of the oxytocin- and vasopressin-containing nerve fibers was found around the capillary loops, particularly in the median to paramedian portions. The distributional patterns of the CRF and the posterior lobe hormones in the hypothalamo-hypophysial system and their functional interrelationship are discussed.
