    Notes: Abstract Peripheral glucose administration enhances memory in rodents and humans. Recent findings suggest that glucose may affect behavior, in part, by augmenting central cholinergic functions and by attenuating central opiate functions. The present experiments examined interactions between an opiate antagonist, naloxone, and cholinergic agents to determine whether the effects would parallel those found with glucose. Three behavioral measures were assessed: tremors, hyperactivity, and spontaneous alternation. Naloxone (1 mg/kg) significantly augmented tremors elicited by physostigmine (0.3 mg/kg). Naloxone (1 mg/kg) also attenuated increases in locomotor activity and impairments in spontaneous alternation performance elicited by scopolamine (1 and 3 mg/kg for activity and alternation measures, respectively). Thus, across three diverse measures, naloxone produced effects similar to those previously reported for glucose. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that release of cholinergic activity from opiate inhibition may contribute to glucose effects on behavior.

    Notes: Abstract Single-cell microfluorimetry techniques have been used to examine the effects of acetylcholine (0.1–100 μM) on the intracellular free calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) in a human-derived pancreatic somatostatin-secreting cell line, QGP-1N. When applied to the bath solution, acetylcholine was found to evoke a marked and rapid increase in [Ca2+]i at all concentrations tested. These responses were either sustained, or associated with the generation of complex patterns of [Ca2+]i transients. Overall, the pattern of response was concentration related. In general, 0.1–10 μM acetylcholine initiated a series of repetitive oscillations in cytoplasmic Ca2+, whilst at higher concentrations the responses consisted of a rapid rise in [Ca2+]i followed by a smaller more sustained increase. Without external Ca2+, 100 μM acetylcholine caused only a transient rise in [Ca2+]i, whereas lower concentrations of the agonist were able to initiate, but not maintain, [Ca2+]i oscillations. Acetylcholine-evoked Ca2+ signals were abolished by atropine (1–10 μM), verapamil (100 μM) and caffeine (20 mM). Nifedipine failed to have any significant effect upon agonist-evoked increases in [Ca2+]i, whilst 50 mM KCl, used to depolarise the cell membrane, only elicited a transient increase in [Ca2+]i. Ryanodine (50–500 nM) and caffeine (1–20 mM) did not increase basal Ca2+ levels, but the Ca2+-ATPase inhibitors 2,5-di(tert-butyl)-hydroquinone (TBQ) and thapsigargin both elevated [Ca2+]i levels. These data demonstrate for the first time cytosolic Ca2+ signals in single isolated somatostatin-secreting cells of the pancreas. We have demonstrated that acetylcholine will evoke both Ca2+ influx and Ca2+ mobilisation, and we have partially addressed the subcellular mechanism responsible for these events.

    Notes: Abstract Clinical studies have suggested that treatment with the prostaglandin E1 analog, misoprostol, leads to significant healing of ulcers in patients taking regular nonsteroidal antiinflammatory therapy. This study aimed to investigate mechanisms involved in this healing using a rat model. Gastric ulcers were induced by application of acetic acid using a standard technique. Rats were treated with 200 mg/kg aspirin, 100 µg/kg misoprostol, a combination of both treatments, or methylcellulose vehicle for up to two weeks, starting two days after ulcer induction. Ulcers were assessed by macroscopic measurements of area and by quantitative histological measurements. Aspirin delayed ulcer healing compared with controls, while misoprostol significantly reversed this effect. Quantitative histology revealed that misoprostol cotreatment significantly increased mucosal regeneration compared with aspirin treatment alone. However, misoprostol did not reverse the effects of aspirin on an index of wound contraction. We conclude that treatment with misoprostol significantly reverses the delayed healing effect of aspirin, and this may occur via an effect on epithelial regeneration.

    Notes: Abstract Nonsteriodal antiinflammatory drugs initiate gastric ulceration and delay gastric ulcer healing. This study aimed to investigate the role of epithelial cell proliferation in delayed ulcer healing and to identify the most reproducible technique for measuring cell proliferation. Rats with acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers were treated for two weeks with indomethacin (1 mg/kg), aspirin (200 mg/kg), or vehicle control. Ulcers were assessed by macroscopic measurement of ulcer area, quantitative histological measurement of mucosal regeneration, and 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine immunohistochemistry to assess epithelial cell proliferation. Indomethacin and aspirin significantly delayed ulcer healing and inhibited mucosal regeneration. Three techniques for assessing cell proliferation were compared, and a scoring system, designed to take into account the entire tissue, was shown to be the most reproducible technique. Indomethacin significantly enhanced cell proliferation in the fundic area of ulcer and aspirin had no effect on cell proliferation. We conclude that aspirin and indomethacin delay ulcer healing by an inhibition of mucosal regeneration, but they do not inhibit epithelial cell proliferation.

    Notes: Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effect of age on natural ulcer healing and delayed ulcer healing induced by nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, using a rat model. Gastric ulcers were induced in young, adult, and aged rats using serosal or mucosal (kissing ulcers) application of acetic acid. Rats were treated with indomethacin 1 mg/kg/day subcutaneously or vehicle for two weeks. Ulcers were assessed by macroscopic and histological measurements of ulcer size. Ulcer induction was affected by age. Aged rats developed significantly smaller ulcers when induced by serosal application of acetic acid and significantly larger ulcers from mucosal application of acetic acid. However, measurements of ulcer size from both models showed no age-related differences in natural ulcer healing. Similarly, indomethacin-induced delayed gastric ulcer healing was not effected by age. We conclude that there are age-related differences in the development of gastric ulcers but there are no age-related differences in natural or delayed ulcer healing in rats.

    Notes: A procedure for the construction of complete protein structures from only αcarbon coordinates is described. This involves building the backbone by sequential addition of Pro, Gly, or Ala residues. This main chain structure is then refined using molecular dynamics. Side chains are constructed by sequential addition of atoms with intermediate molecular dynamics refinement. For α lytic protease (a structure that is mostly β sheet) a backbone root mean square deviation (RMSD) of 0.19 Å and an overall RMSD of 1.24 Å from the crystallographic coordinates are attained. For troponin C (67% β-helix), where the coordinates are available only for the α-carbons, a backbone RMSD of 0.41 Å and an overall RMSD of 1.68 Å are attained (fits kindly provided by Dr. Michael James and Natalie Strynadka). For flavodoxin a backbone RMSD of 0.49 Å and an overall RMSD of 1.64 Å were attained.

    Notes: A simple method is presented for projecting the conformation of extended secondary structure elements of peptides and proteins that extend over four Cαatoms onto a simple two-dimensional surface. A new set of two degrees of freedom is defined, a pseudo-dihedral involving four sequential Cαatoms, as well as the triple scalar product for the vectors describing the orientation of the three intervening peptide groups. The method provides a reduction in dimensionality, from the usual combination of multiple φ,ψ pairs to a single pair, yielding valuable information concerning the structure and dynamics of these important elements. The new two-dimensional surface is explored by reference to 63 selected protein crystal structures together with a comparison of model built peptides representing the common secondary structural elements. Dynamical aspects on this new surface are examined using a molecular dynamics trajectory of Basic Pancreatic Trypsin Inhibitor. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The titanium static mixer reactor, demonstrated for a variety of vaccine processes during the late 197s, was investigated for the production of attenuated hepatitis A virus antigen from anchorage-dependent MRC-5 cells. This reactor system used Charles River Biotechnological Services cabinets for monitoring and process control. Cell inoculation protocols, using 6000-10,000 cells/cm2, resulted on over 95% attachment at both the laboratory and pilot scales. Indirect monitoring techniques using oxygen, glucose, L-serine, and L-glutamine uptake rates were indicative of cell growth prior to virus inoculation as well as environmental and/or nutrient limitations. Seven laboratory-scale (3900 cm2) runs and one pilotscale (265,000 cm2) run were conducted to investigate refeeding regiments, parallel versus perpendicular element orientation, increased element surface area per unit volume, and scale-up performance. In general, lysate antigen yields achieved were similar to those of parallel T-flasks cultivated under similar conditions. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Human growth hormone (hGH) is a polypeptide with 191 amino acids and a molecular mass of 22 kilodaltons. With the aid of computer molecular simulation, an hGH analog was created by altering an hGH gene to reflect the change of one amino acid (glycine [G] 120 to arginine [R]) within the third α-helix of the hGH molecule. This hGH analog, named hGHG120R, was found to be an hGH antagonist. It may have important implications in treating human conditions in which hGH levels are abnormally high, as found in type I diabetics. Several hundred milligrams of purified hGHG120R were needed to determine the biological activity of the antagonist in animal models. A multistep downstream process was developed to purify hGHG120R from cultured mouse L cells transfected with the hGHG120R gene. The process consisted of cell clarification, salt precipitation, membrane ultrafiltration, reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography, phase separation, and lyophiliation. This work discusses the rationale for the design of the process and experimental results on the purification of hGHG120R using the process. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
