    Notes: Abstract The effect of the inflammatory mediator bradykinin on glycoprotein synthesis and mucin secretion in the human colonic adenocarcinoma cell line HT29–18N2 was examined. Bradykinin, at a threshold of 0.01 μM, accelerated the rate of mucin discharge as assessed by a mucin-specific ELISA. Using immunofluorescence microscopy, a thick meshwork of extracellular mucus was observed over bradykinin-treated monolayers but not mock-treated controls. Morphometric analysis of bradykinin-treated monolayers revealed no decreases in intracellular mucin stores or any other easily discernable morphological alteration. The ability of the cyclooxygenase inhibitors indomethacin and naproxen to decrease the response to bradykinin by approximately 68% indicates the effect is mediated, at least partially, through the generation of prostaglandins. Bradykinin did not alter the rate of incorporation of3H-glucosamine into newly synthesized glycoproteins. Bradykinin-accelerated mucin secretion may be linked to the depletion of intracellular mucin stores in the inflammatory bowel disease ulcerative colitis.

    Notes: Abstract Pissodes strobi, P. approximatus, andP. nemorensis are sibling species of pine weevils that can hybridize in the laboratory but are presumed to be reproductively isolated in nature. Males of all three species produce the terpenoids grandisol and grandisal; these compounds serve as an aggregation pheromone forP. approximatus andP. nemorensis when deployed with odors from pine bolts. A series of field experiments examined the possibility of cross-attraction among the three species. Tests in New York and Florida found that parapatrically distributedP. approximatus andP. nemorensis were cross-attractive, but different photoperiodic conditioning was required for pheromone production in males of the two species. Long-day pheromone production (P. approximatus-type.) was inherited in interspecific hybrids. Other tests showed thatP. strobi males, or hybrid males from crosses ofP. strobi withP. approximatus, were not attractive to sympatricP. approximatus. When the response ofP. strobi was assessed to males of eitherP. strobi orP. approximatus confined on white pine leaders (the breeding site ofP. strobi), no evidence of cross-attraction or pheromone activity was found;P. strobi were caught in equal numbers onP. strobi-baited leaders,P. approximatus-baited leaders, and unbaited leaders. Tests of interspecific interactions found that maleP. strobi produce an allelochemical signal that interrupts the response ofP. approximatus to its natural or synthetic aggregation pheromone. This interspecific response is apparently adaptive for members of both species (classified as an allomone-kairomone or synomone) because it may ultimately serve to prevent interspecific matings that would lower the fitness of the parents.

    Aggregation pheromone of the deodar weevll,Pissodes nemorensis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae): Isolation and activity of grandisol and grandisal (1984)

    Notes: Abstract The bark weevilPissodes nemorensis, a pest of pines and exotic cedars in the southeastern United States, utilizes a male-produced aggregation pheromone. The presumed pheromone components, grandisol (cis-2-isopropenyl-1-methylcyclobutaneethanol) and its corresponding aldehyde, grandisal, were isolated from extracts of male volatiles and male hindguts. A field test in northern Florida showed that the combination of grandisol, grandisal, and slash pine (Pinus elliottii) bolts acted synergistically to attract large numbers of male and femaleP. nemorensis. These components deployed in various paired combinations were not as attractive as the tripartite mixture. There was no evidence that flying weevils were attracted to unbaited pine bolts. The aggregation pheromone forP. nemorensis appears to be similar to that of a parapatric sibling species,P. approximatus.

    Notes: Abstract Cholinergic stimulation of the HT29-18N2 goblet cell line increased mucin secretion as assessed: (1) with a mucin-specific immunoassay, (2) using whole-mount immunocytochemistry, or (3) by morphometric quantification of intracellular mucous granule stores. Cholinergic stimulation did not, however, result in the apical plasmalemmal membrane cavitation that is characteristic of recent compound exocytotic activity. The resposse was not dependent on protein kinase C activation since it was not inhibited by the kinase C antagonist H7 or potentiated by the diaacylglycerol kinase antagonist R59022. Calcium ionophore A23187 also accelerated mucin secretion by a noncompound exocytotic pathway. Activation of protein kinase C by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, on the other hand, increased mucin secretion by a compound exocytotic pathway. The results provide insight into the signal transduction pathways underlying secretory responses of goblet cells observedin situ.

    Notes: Abstract Two related volatile compounds were identified from each of two species ofPissodes bark weevils and implicated as components of their aggregation pheromones. Grandisol (cis-2-isopropenyl-1-methylcyclobutaneethanol), and its corresponding aldehyde, grandisal, were isolated from males of bothP. strobi andP. approximatus and were found in the abdomens and hindguts of the respective species. In field tests synthetic grandisol and grandisal together with odors from cut pine acted synergistically in attracting both sexes ofP. approximatus. This response was similar to that elicited by maleP. approximatus feeding on cut pine. Males and females of natural populations ofP. strobi were more responsive to caged males feeding on leaders of white pine than they were to leaders alone. The combination of grandisol, grandisal, and leaders was less attractive than males on leaders, but more attractive than leaders alone. From isolation of pheromone components at different times of the year, it was determined that males of both species produced grandisol and grandisal only at times when cohort females were reproductively mature.
