    Notes: Summary Insulin stimulation of glycogen synthesis was nearly abolished in hepatoma cells shortly treated with 4 ß-phorbol 12 \-myristate, 13 α-acetate (protein kinase C activation) but remained unmodified in cells chronically treated with the phorbol ester (protein kinase C depletion). Thus, although exogenous activation of protein kinase C results in an inhibition of insulin action, protein kinase C depletion has no influence on this process. The results suggest that, in hepatoma cells, no endogenous activation of protein kinase C may occur in response to the signal triggered by insulin.

    Notes: Summary During the spontaneous differentiation (day 5 to day 15 of the culture) of Caco-2 cells, the sulfation of cell layer glycosaminoglycans increased, whereas protein kinase C activity was concomitantly redistributed from the membrane to the cytosol. The protein kinase C activators, 4β-phorbol 12β-myristate, 13α-acetate and 1,2-dioctanoyl-glycerol inhibited glycosaminoglycan sulfation. By contrast, 4α-phorbol 12, 13 didecanoate was ineffective. These results suggest that membrane-bound PKC may exert a modulatory effect on glycosaminoglycan sulfation, and this effect is gradually attenuated as Caco-2 cell differentiation progresses.

    Notes: Abstract The persistent Müllerian duct syndrome is characterized by the retention of Müllerian derivatives in patients otherwise normally virilized. Clinically, the persistence of uterus and tubes leads either to cryptorchidism or inguinal hernia, depending on whether or not the Müllerian derivatives can be mobilized during testicular descent. The condition is usually discovered at surgery, however preoperative sonography could allow the diagnosis to be made preoperatively. The molecular basis of the persistent Müllerian duct syndrome is heterogeneous, and is reflected by wide variations in the serum concentration of anti-Müllerian hormone. Some cases are apparently due to end-organ resistance, and are associated with normal serum levels of the hormone. Others, characterized by absent or low hormone concentrations, can be explained by mutations of the gene coding for anti-Müllerian hormone, which are distributed along the whole length of the coding region.

    Notes: Abstract In comparison to skin fibroblasts from normal subjects, those from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF): (1) bound [20-3H] phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) with a higher affinity (Kd=25.8 vs 12.8 nM respectively) but expressed a similar number of total phorbol ester binding sites (about 2.5 pmol PDBu bound/mg of protein); (2) exhibited a faster and higher response to 4β-phorbol 12β-myristate 13α-acetate (PMA) for the stimulation of [35S]-labelled glycoconjutate release, but were equally sensitive to the synergistic effect of A23187 on this process; and (3) secreted glycoconjugates with similar [35S]-sulfate and [14C]-leucine to [14C]-glucosamine labelling ratios. Taken together, these results provide further evidence for abnormal protein kinase C (PKC) regulation of macromolecule secretion in CF disease.
