    Notes: Abstract The isoform of protein kinase C responsible for the inhibition of histamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase by the phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), has been investigated in a particulate fraction prepared from the human gastric cancer cell line HGT-1. Theα and∈ isoforms of protein kinase C were detected in HGT-1 cells and in a 40,000 × g particulate fraction by immunoblotting procedures. The inhibitory effect of TPA on histamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase was enhanced by the presence of Ca2+, but decreased in a concentrationdependent manner by anti-peptide antibody to protein kinase Cα, but not to protein kinase C∈. Addition of Ca2+ and TPA to the 40,000 × g particulate fraction stimulated the phosphorylation of the protein kinase C substrate myelin basic peptide 4–14. Protein kinase Cα is probably the isoform responsible for inhibition of histamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase in HGT-1 cells.

    Notes: Abstract  The role of nitric oxide in the pathogenesis of glomerular thrombotic microangiopathy was explored using an established rat model in which ricin with or without lipopolysaccharide induced glomerular thrombosis. Ricin alone caused a small rise in the plasma concentration of nitric oxide (control 9.2±0.7 µM, ricin 23.3±6.3 µM at 7 h). This increase occurred after the development of glomerular thrombosis. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in the kidney showed no significant change from control values (control 5.66±2.7 pmol/min per ml homogenate, ricin 7.52±1.8 pmol/min per ml homogenate, total activity). When ricin and lipopolysaccharide were administered together, calcium-independent NOS activity increased whereas calcium-dependent activity decreased (1.22±2.6 pmol/min per ml homogenate). The increase in calcium-independent NOS activity correlated with a high plasma concentration of interleukin-1β in the ricin plus lipopolysaccharide group (4,036.83±1,001.5 pg/ml). These data indicate that thrombus formation in a rat model of haemolytic uraemic syndrome is independent of the effects of nitric oxide.

    Notes: Abstract Human brain (globus pallidus) and liver tissues were investigated by means of electron microscopy (EM), Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS) and SQUID magnetometry techniques. Based on MS measurements, the iron present was identified to be in the ferritin-like form (61–88%) and in the form of a low-spin iron species (the balance). Its overall concentration was estimated as 1.5(3) mg in the brain and 2.4(5) mg in the liver, per gram of lyophilized tissue. The average core diameter was determined by EM measurements to be equal to 7.5(1.3) nm for the liver and 3.3(5) nm for the brain. Magnetization measurements carried out between 5 and 300 K yielded an estimation of an average blocking temperature, KT BL, as equal to 6.7 K and 8.5 K for the liver and the brain, respectively. From the dependence of KT BL on the external magnetic field it was concluded that the ferritin-like cores in the studied samples can be regarded as non-interacting particles. Finally, the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy constant was determined to be 6×103 J/m3 for the liver and 4×104 J/m3 for the brain.
