    Notes: Abstract The effect of interleukin 1β (IL-1β), interferon γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the expression of the C2 and C3 genes in human adherent monocytes was studied. Stimulation of monocytes with IFN-γ increased both C2 and C3 mRNA. IL-1β also increased C2 mRNA level, whereas C3 gene expression was not enhanced. TNFα failed to increase either C2 or C3 mRNA. LPS increased C2 mRNA, but suppressed C3 gene expression. These results suggest that C2 and C3 production by monocytes is regulated by IL-1β and IFN-β in the local tissues.

    Notes: Summary The development of a spatio-temporal pattern of Ca2+ concentration by a plasmodium ofPhysarum polycephalum during chemotaxis was studied using fura-2. Whenever the cell displayed coordinated migration in one direction as a whole body, a spatiotemporal pattern was established with a characteristic feature along the longitudinal axis. Calcium concentration oscillated with a period of a few minutes within the cell; the mean concentration at the front was higher than that at the rear. When the cell was given an attractant only at the rear end, the mean concentration rose at the site of application with an immediate increase in the frequency of oscillation. First, the change of the frequency is propagated toward the other end and then the mean level of the Ca2+ concentration at the non-stimulated site decreases. As a result, the Ca2+ gradient is reversed along the cell, which then begins to migrate in a coordinated manner in the reverse direction. This study showed that the spatiotemporal pattern of Ca2+ concentration is closely related to information processing for coordinated migration in chemotaxis. The role of the pattern in that process is discussed.
