    Notes: Abstract The expression of two small stress proteins, αB crystallin and the 27-kDa heat shock protein (HSP27), was studied quantitatively and immunohistochemically in normal kidney and renal tumors in rats. Levels of αB crystallin in renal cell tumors tended to be higher than in normal kidney (P = 0.07), but with a wide range of values, whereas they were significantly lower in mesenchymal tumors (P 〈 0.0001). In contrast, HSP27 concentrations in both renal cell (mean ± SD: 1790 ± 940 ng/mg protein,n = 15) and mesenchymal (1260 ± 1080 ng/mg protein,n = 10) tumors were significantly higher than the normal kidney value (142 ± 30 ng/mg protein,n = 10,P 〈 0.0001). A positive correlation was found between αB crystallin and HSP27 levels limited to the renal cell tumor case (Pearson's correlation coefficient,r = 0.68,P 〈 0.01). Immunohistochemistry revealed the loops of Henle to be positive for αB crystallin, whereas HSP27 staining was positive in glomerular and interstitial vascular walls and epithelial cells of proximal and distal tubules. Positive immunostaining for αB crystallin was demonstrated in six of nine renal cell tumors (67%) studied and for HSP27 in all of the nine cases (100%).

    Notes: Abstract Concentrations of α and β-subunits of S100 protein (S100-α and S100-β) in rat kidney neoplasms, including renal cell and mesenchymal tumors, were determined using a highly sensitive enzyme immunoassay, and both types immunohistochemically localized in tissue sections. Concentration of S100-α in each histological type of rat tumor were lower than in normal kidney, whereas levels of S100-β (mean±SE: 29.7±14.2 ng/mg protein, n=15) in renal cell tumors were significantly higher than in normal kidneys (0.55±0.06 ng/mg protein, n=7), or mesenchymal tumors (1.21±0.43 ng/mg protein, n=9). In normal rat kidney tissues S100-α was immunohistochemically positive in epithelial cells of the distal tubules, the thin limbs of loops of Henle, and the collecting ducts. No appreciable immunostaining for S100-β was found in any nephron segment. Both S100-α and S100-β were positive for renal cell tumors, indicating new appearance of the latter during renal carcinogenesis in rats.

    Notes: Abstract Concentrations of enolase isozymes in normal kidney and renal cell tumors in rats were determined using a highly sensitive enzyme immunoassay, and the isozymes were immunohistochemically localized in tissue sections. Levels of α-enolase in renal cell turnors were significantly lower than in normal kidney, whereas those of γ-enolase were significantly elevated (mean ±SD:211±129 ng/mg protein, n=15, as compared to 27.1±2.9 ng/mg protein, n=7). The proportion of γ-enolase in the total enolases in the tumor tissues (1.6±0.5%) was significantly higher than in normal kidney (0.15±0.005). Immunohistochemistry revealed epithelial cells of all nephron segments to be positive for the α-isozyme, whereas γ-enolase staining was strongly positive only in the loops of Henle, being faint in the distal tubules and absent in the proximal tubules. Both α- and γ-enolases demonstrated positive immunostaining in all of the seven renal cell tumors studied. These findings indicate that an isozyme switch from α- to γ-enolase occurs during rat kidney carcinogenesis, taking into account the derivation from proximal tubules, consistent with the findings for renal cell carcinomas in man.

    Notes: Summary The pleomorphism of hepatic regeneration was studied in acute liver injury and partial hepatectomy of rats. Increases in3H-thymidine incorporation into the liver DNA fraction and in liver ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity were observed similarly in acute liver injury and following a two-thirds partial hepatectomy in normal rats. However, the increase in serum AFP levels was significant only in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-treated rats, and the portal-peripheral vein difference in plasma glucagon concentrations was great only in rats that underwent a partial hepatectomy. The weight of the remaining liver increased rapidly following a 67% hepatectomy in normal rats, but not in cirrhotic rats, of which three of five died within 6 days. Increases in liver prostaglandin E levels,14C-orotate incorporation into the liver RNA fraction and hepatic ODC activity were observed up to 10 h following a partial hepatectomy of normal liver but not after similar removal of cirrhotic liver. Three kinds of hepatic regeneration, i.e., normal and pathologic regeneration following surgical removal of either normal or injured liver and repair of liver damage following chemically induced liver deficiency, were proposed from the observations.

    Notes: Summary The influence of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and osmolality on mucin release in the rat colon was studied histochemically by determining number of stained mucin-containing cells. SCFA did not significantly influence the number of cells staining for mucin. Hypertonic solutions (360 mosm/l) did not affect mucin release in the proximal colon, but stimulated mucin release in the distal colon. Solutions of lower osmolality (300 or 250 mosm/l) caused a considerable release of mucin from goblet cells as well as vacuolated cells in both the proximal and the distal colon; the lower the osmolality, the more mucin was released. The mucosa of the distal colon was conspicuously affected by solutions of lower osmolality. The influence of osmolality on mucin release was entirely local.

    Notes: Summary The luminal and epithelial mucin was studied histochemically in the large intestine of mice (Mus musculus), rats (Rattus rattus) and guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) using freeze-substitution and vapor-fixation methods. Neutral mucin decreased and acid mucin increased in the epithelium from the cecum to the distal colon. Vacuolated cells contained more acid mucin than goblet cells. Luminal mucin always contained neutral mucin, which formed the main constituents in the cecum and in the proximal colon. Sialo-mucin increased from the cecum to the distal colon. Sulfo-mucin appeared only in the distal colon. Except in the cecum a luminal mucin layer (LML) was found at the epithelial surface. In the proximal colon LML was not entirely continuous and varied in composition and thickness (182.4 ± 170.1, 150.5 ± 110.4, 30.0 ± 28.9 (μm), in mice, rats and guinea pigs, respectively), and contained many bacteria. In the distal colon LML was compact, homogeneous and thin (33.6 ± 18.8, 16.1 ± 7.3, 29.1 ± 20.0 (μm), in mice, rats and guinea pigs, respectively) containing few bacteria. Possible functions of the luminal mucin and their regional differentiations were discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The present study evaluated the role of nitric oxide in the regulation of duodenal motility and pancreatic exocrine secretion in conscious sheep. Intravenous infusions of nitric oxide synthase inhibitors, Nω-nitro-l-arginine-methyl ester (l-NAME) and Nω-nitro-l-arginine, induced clusters of duodenal contractions like phase III of migrating motor complexes and simultaneously inhibited flow rate, bicarbonate ion and enzyme outputs of pancreatic juice. The effects of l-NAME were inhibited by simultaneous infusion of l-arginine, but not altered by adrenergic blockade using a combined infusion of phentolamine and propranolol. Inhibition of the pancreatic secretion occurred in coincidence with initiation of the duodenal contractions, while the pancreatic secretion was not inhibited when the premature duodenal contractions were abolished by the l-arginine infusion. The initiation of the cluster of duodenal contractions by l-NAME was not abolished by background infusion of atropine, whereas the amplitude of contractions was significantly inhibited by atropine. These results suggest that intrinsic nitric oxide plays a crucial role in the regulation of duodenal tone and maintenance of continuous secretion by the exocrine pancreas in sheep. These results also implied that inhibition of pancreatic exocrine secretion by the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor is presumably mediated in part through the contractile effect on the duodenum.
