    Notes: Abstract We isolated a cDNA clone encoding the human prostaglandin (PG) E receptor EP4 subtype and examined the gene expression in human blood cells. Northern blot analysis revealed that the EP4 gene is expressed at a high level in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and at lower levels in cultured human blood cell lines, THP-1 and U937 (monocytoid cell lines), MOLT-4 and Jurkat (T-cell lines), and Raji (B-cell line). To examine regulation of the EP4 gene expression in the immune system, we studied the effects of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on these cell lines. Gene expression was upregulated in THP-1, U937, and Raji cells by PMA, and was downregulated in MOLT-4 and Jurkat cells. In THP-1 cells the effects of PMA were further analyzed, and the upregulation of the EP4 gene was shown to be followed by an increase in PGE2 binding sites and in PGE2-induced cAMP accumulation. In the striking contrast, other PGE receptor subtypes (EP1, EP2 and EP3) and other prostanoid receptors (IP and DP) were shown not to be upregulated by PMA. Therefore, this is the first demonstration of a highly specific upregulation of the EP4 subtype in THP-1 cells treated with PMA, suggesting the importance of the EP4 subtype in the immune system. In the present study we also clarified that EP4 gene expression is regulated differently among human monocytoid and lymphoid lineage cells, thus leading to the better understanding of the regulatory mechanisms for the human EP4 gene expression in the immune system.

    Notes: A photovoltaic cell with carbonaceous thin film/n-type silicon (C/n-Si) was fabricated utilizing a process in which a carbonaceous thin film was deposited on an n-type silicon substrate by chemical-vapor deposition of 2,5-dimethyl-p-benzoquinone at 500 °C. Under illumination of 15 mW cm−2 light with wavelengths between 400 and 800 nm (xenon arc lamp), a power conversion efficiency (η) of 6.45% was achieved from this photovoltaic cell. This C/n-Si cell has shown a normalized short-circuit-current efficiency of more than 0.85 under illumination of 30 μW cm−2 monochromatic light from 500 to 950 nm. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The junction capacitance for a carbonaceous thin-film/n-type silicon layer photovoltaic cell made by chemical vapor deposition of 2,5-dimethyl-p-benzoquinone on a silicon substrate at 500 °C was measured, and an energy band diagram for this junction was sought out. The result confirms that the carbonaceous thin-film/n-type silicon junction is a heterotype junction. Its junction barrier is about 0.54 eV. This junction shows a depletion layer of about 1.1 μm in thickness at zero bias voltage, and most all of which was established in the silicon substrate. A work function of about 5.0 eV for the carbonaceous film was estimated based on the energy-band diagram of this junction. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract The characteristics of actively growing smooth muscle cells (a variant, SM-3) were compared with those of growth-arrested cells with regard to response of myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation. Augmented MLC phosphorylation, in particular diphosphorylation, was observed in actively growing cells when stimulated with 30 μM prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α). The maximum level of diphosphorylation in growing cells was significantly higher than that in growth-arrested cells. The MLC diphosphorylation was sensitive to protein kinase C down-regulation by phorbol dibutylate and pretreatment by the protein kinase inhibitors, staurosporine (30 nM) and isoquinoline sulphonamide HA1077 (20 μM). The actively growing cells contained larger amounts of protein kinase C than growth-arrested cells. The phosphorylation sites of mono- and diphospho-MLC were determined to be MLC kinase-dependent sites (Thr18, Ser19). The PGF2αconcentration/response curves of MLC diphosphorylation were shifted to the left and upwards in the presence of the protein phosphatase inhibitor calyculin A. These results suggest that PGF2αstimulation of actively growing SM-3 cells augments MLC kinase-dependent MLC diphosphorylation. Protein kinase C is involved indirectly in this reaction, possibly through MLC phosphatase-sensitive regulatory mechanisms.

    Notes: Abstract A novel method of human MN blood group genotyping is reported using the polymerase chain reaction. Genotyping is based on two base substitutions characteristic of M and N alleles in the 2nd exon of the glycophorin A gene. Using a newly designed primer trio, PCR products for M (255 bp) and N (270 bp) alleles are rapidly and simultaneously detected by a single PCR procedure and subsequent polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This method enables MN genotyping from not only minute but also degraded DNA samples.

    Notes: Abstract  Stimulatory effects of saturated fatty acids consisting of 4 (butyrate), 8 (octanoate), 12 (laurate) and 16 (palmitate) carbon atoms, as well as acetylcholine on pancreatic amylase release were assessed in tissue segments isolated from sheep, rats, hamsters, field voles and mice. The amount of amylase release induced by the fatty acids (1 μmol ⋅ l-1 to 10 mml ⋅ l-1) and by acetylcholine (10 nmol ⋅ l-1 to 100 μmol ⋅ l-1) increased in a concentration-dependent manner, and the maximum response in response to the fatty acids was obtained at the maximal dose used. The maximum increase in amylase release in response to butyrate or octanoate was highly and significantly (r=0.974, P〈0.001) dependent on the log value of the mean body mass in the following order: sheep〉rats〉hamsters〉field voles〉mice. On the other hand, the response to laurate and palmitate was variable among animal species. Addition of atropine (1.4 μmol ⋅ l-1) to the medium did not reduce the responses to octanoate stimulation, but significantly reduced acetylcholineinduced responses, implying that the effects of the fatty acids were not mediated through activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Reduction of calcium ion concentration in the medium significantly inhibited the responses induced by the fatty acids and acetylcholine, suggesting that amylase release depends on extracellular calcium ions.

    Notes: Abstract N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-dihexyl-3-oxapentanediamide, DMDHOPDA, N,N′-dihexyl-3-thiopentanediamide, DHTPDA and N,N′-dihexyl-3-oxapentanediamide, DHOPDA were synthesized and tested for the synergistic extraction of Eu3+, Th4+, UO 2 2+ , NpO 2 + and Am3+ with thenoyltrifluoroacetone (HTTA). Although Eu3+, Th4+, UO 2 2+ and Am3+ were not extracted by DHTPDA or DHOPDA alone, they were extracted synergistically when combined with HTTA. Analysis of the dependency of extraction on pH and extractant concentration indicated that the dominant extracted species were Eu(TTA)3(A), Th(TTA)3(A)(X), UO2(TTA)2(A) and Am(TTA)3(A) (where A is diamide, and X is chloroacetate or ClO 4 − ).
