    Notes: Abstract Previous studies of ethanol reinforcement in BALB/cJ and C57BL/6J mice have shown that over a range of concentrations oral ethanol appeared to serve as a reinforcer only for the C57BL/6J mice. In the previous studies BALB/cJ mice maintained rates of responding for ethanol that only slightly exceeded the rates maintained by the vehicle, water. However, the quantity of ethanol consumed with the continuous reinforcement schedule (fixed ratio one) may have led to pharmacologically significant effects, given the high sensitivity to ethanol of this genotype. The present study tested whether and to what extent ethanol would maintain responding under increasing fixed ratio size in these two strains of mice at ethanol concentrations of 0%, 8%, and 16% (w/v). For the C57BL/6J mice, as fixed-ratio size increased from 1 to 2, 4, and 8, there were almost directly proportional increases in response rate at ethanol concentrations of 8% and 16% (w/v), but not at 0%. Post-session blood ethanol levels confirmed intake of pharmacologically significant quantities. The volume consumed per unit of body weight decreased as fixed-ratio size increased. For the BALB/cJ mice, at no condition did ethanol maintain responding at levels that significantly exceeded vehicle maintained responding. BALB/cJ mice did not differ from C57BL/6J mice as fixed-ratio size was increased during vehicle conditions. These results, along with earlier findings, demonstrate that ethanol can serve as a reinforcer for C57BL/6J mice but not in BALB/cJ mice over a range of schedule conditions. They further support the conclusion that genotype is an important determinant of ethanol reinforced behavior.

    Notes: Analogues of the human erythroid membrane skeletal component protein 4.1 have been identified in perfused rat tissues and human T and B lymphocyte cell lines, olyclonal antibodies were used which are specific for all domains of protein 4.1, the spectrin-actin-promoting 8-Kd peptide, the membrane-binding 30-Kd domain, and the 50-Kd domain. Antibody reactivity, by Western blotting of tissue homogenates, shows reactivity with proteins varying in molecular weight from 175 Kd to 30 Kd. Further, these protein 4.1 analogues appear to be expressed in a tissue-specific fashion. Of the analogues detected there appear to be at least three classes: analogues containing all erythroid protein 4.1 domains, analogues containing all domains but with modified antigenic epitopes, and analogues containing only some domains. Chemical cleavage at cysteine linkages indicates that in analogues containing the 30-Kd region the location of cysteine is highly conserved. This datum suggests that in nonerythroid 4.1 isoforms of higher molecular weight the additional protein mass is added to the amino terminal end (30 Kd end).

    Nerve pathways between the pterygopalatine ganglion and eye in cats (1988)

    Notes: By dissection of thiocholine-stained orbital preparations, it has been determined that three different nerve pathways link the pterygopalatine ganglion and the eye in cats. (1) Nerves from the proximal half of the ganglion join a plexus of nerves and ganglion cells in the rete mirabile of the maxillary artery. Branches of the internal carotid nerve also supply this plexus. Fine nerves from the plexus travel to the optic nerve and then to the eye, accompanying both the nasociliary nerve that passes through the rete and the ciliary arteries that arise from the rete. (2) One or more nerves from the nerve of the pterygoid canal and from a prominent accessory ganglion near the orbital apex course to the inferior optic nerve surface at the optic foramen; these then run distally along the optic nerve to fuse with ciliary nerves or to accompany ciliary arteries entering the eye. (3) Other nerves from the pterygopalatine ganglion travel medially around the extraocular muscle cone to join the ethmoidal and infratrochlear branches of the nasociliary nerve; some nerves from the ganglion then take a retrograde course to the optic nerve, where they join ciliary nerves or arteries to the eye. All three pathways may transmit sympathetic, parasympathetic and somatic sensory nerve fibers.

    Cellular and subcellular colocalization of nerve growth factor and epidermal growth factor in mouse submandibular glands (1985)

    Notes: Immunocytochemical methods have been used to compare the cellular and subcellular distribution of nerve growth factor (NGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in mouse submandibular glands. Rabbit antisera raised against purified proteins were characterized by immunoblot methods and were used to stain sections of salivary glands embedded in plastic. For light microscopy, antibodies were visualized by indirect immunofluorescence. For electron microscopy, thin sections were treated simultaneously with IgG against NGF and EGF coupled to colloidal gold particles of different size. Data indicate that NGF and EGF are present in all granular convoluted tubule cells and in no other cell type within the salivary gland. Ultrastructural analyses indicate that NGF and EGF are evenly distributed together within mature secretory granules, although a population of small granules was identified that is not immunoreactive for either protein. Taken together, the data suggest that granular convoluted tubule cells are homogeneous in the production and storage of NGF and EGF.

    Human keratinocytes that have not terminally differentiated synthesize laminin and fibronectin but deposit only fibronectin in the pericellular matrix (1985)

    Notes: Fibronectin and laminin production by human keratinocytes cultured in serum-free, low-calcium medium without a fibroblast feeder layer were examined by several techniques. By indirect immunofluorescence, fibronectin but not laminin appeared as short radial fibrils between the cells and the substratum, and in the pericellular matrix. Synthesis of fibronectin and laminin by 7-day keratinocyte cultures was determined by 18 hr 35S-methionine metabolic labeling followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. Fibronectin accounted for 2.9% of total synthesized protein, 26.5% of fluid phase protein secretion, and 4.3% of deposited ECM protein. In contrast, only 0.1% of the total synthesized protein was laminin, little (6.3%) of this product was secreted, and none of this product was deposited in the ECM. Our results indicate that human keratinocytes under culture conditions that prevent terminal differentiation in vitro can synthesize, secrete, and deposit fibronectin in the extracellular matrix. Although these cells synthesize laminin, they secrete very little and deposit no detectable laminin in the matrix under these culture conditions. From these data we believe that fibronectin may play an important role in the interaction of epidermal cells with connective tissue matrix during wound healing or morphogenesis in in vivo situations in which the epidermis is not terminally differentiated.

    Distribution of insulin receptors between plasmalemma and intracellular compartments: Effect of amino acids (1985)

    Notes: Insulin receptor regulation was studied in the rat erythroblastic leukemic (EBL) cell in primary culture. After 1-2-hr incubations in medium containing 12 essential amino acids, glutamine, and serine, EBL cell protein synthesis and insulin receptor concentrations were increased compared to cells incubated without serine. Deficiency of medium isoleucine in the presence of serine rapidly decreased protein synthesis and insulin binding to intact cells. Supplementation of deficient media with serine or isoleucine had no effect on total insulin receptor numbers measured in solubilized cell preparations. Increased insulin binding following serine exposure was seen with binding assays at both 4 and 37°C. Dissociation experiments to quantitate intracellular ligand after 37°C binding assays showed increases in both surface binding and intracellular [125I]insulin accumulation. These data combined with previous observations suggest that amino acids essential for this cell are required for the rapid synthesis of a labile regulatory protein which facilitates the redistribution and/or recycling of insulin receptors.

    Notes: Antibodies have now been shown to catalyze a variety of chemical transformations, including hydrolytic, concerted, and bimolecular reactions. The inherent chirality of the antibody binding pocket has been exploited to exert precise stereochemical control over their catalyzed reactions. The mechanisms by which antibodies catalyze reactions are not expected to differ in any general way from those of natural enzymes. Antibodies use their binding energy to stabilize species of higher free energy which appear along the reaction coordinate or effect general acid/base catalysis. The advent of catalytic antibodies promises new catalysts that extend the range of catalysis by proteins to chemical transformations that were not required during the evolution of enzymes.
