    Notes: Summary We examined effects of nitric oxide (NO·) synthesis inhibition on methamphetamine (MA)-induced dopaminergic and serotonergic neurotoxicity. The toxic dose of MA (5 mg/kg, sc, X4) significantly decreased contents of dopamine (DA), dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA) in the striatum (ST), and significantly decreased contents of serotonin (5-HT) in the ST, nucleus accumbens (NA) and medial frontal contex (MFC). Coadministration with a NO· synthase inhibitor, Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (LNAME) (30 mg/kg, ip, X2), reduced the MA-induced decreases in contents of DA, DOPAC and HVA in the ST, but not reduced the MA-induced decreases in contents of 5-HT in the ST, NA and MFC. These findings suggest that the MA-induced dopaminergic, but not serotonergic neurotoxicity, may be related to the neural process such as NO· formation caused by the activation of postsynaptic DA receptor.

    Notes: Abstract In spite of numerous reports on a 1 to 2 year maintenance neuroleptic treatment of schizophrenia, there is little systematic information on decade-long maintenance therapy. We conducted a retrospective study in fifty outpatients with paranoid schizophrenia who have been seen at our clinic for a duration of 15 years or more since their first psychotic episodes. Relapse rate within 2, 5, 10, and 15 years from remission of the first psychotic episode were 52, 60, 86, and 90%, respectively. However, the incidence of relapse decreased with time. This decrease was accounted for by the decrease of relapse observed when off drug. Conversely, the incidence of relapse occurred on drug remained unchanged. The average maintenance dose 15 years after remission of the first psychotic episode was 5.41 ± 7.28 mg/d (haloperidol equivalents: mean ± SD). The maintenance dose correlated significantly with the number of relapses and total duration of psychotic episodes. These results suggest that maintenance treatment remained effective for decades, although it did not ameliorate the liability to relapse itself. Repeated relapse may be associated with requirement for a higher neuroleptic dose for relapse prevention.

    Notes: Abstract We have cloned and sequenced six RAPD fragments tightly linked to the Tm-1 gene which confers tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) resistance in tomato. The terminal ten bases in each of these clones exactly matched the sequence of the primer for amplifying the corresponding RAPD marker, except for one in which the 5′-endmost two nucleotides were different from those of the primer. These RAPD clones did not cross-hybridize with each other, suggesting that they were derived from different loci. From Southern-hybridization experiments, five out of the six RAPD clones were estimated to be derived from middle- or high-repetitive sequences, but not from any parts of the ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA), which are known to be tightly linked with the Tm-1 locus. The remaining clone appeared to be derived from a DNA family consisting of a few copies. These six RAPD fragments were converted to sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers, each of which was detectable using a pair of primers having the same sequence as that at either end of the corresponding RAPD clone. All pairs of SCAR primers amplified distinct single bands whose sizes were the same as those of the RAPD clones. In four cases, the SCAR markers were present in the line with Tm-1 but absent in the line without it, as were the corresponding RAPD markers. In the two other cases, the products of the same size were amplified in both lines. When these SCAR products were digested with different restriction endonucleases which recognize 4-bp sequences, however, polymorphisms in fragment length were found between the two lines. These co-dominant markers are useful for differentiating heterozygotes from both types of homozygote.

    Notes: Abstract Tm-2 and Tm-2a are genes conferring resistance to tomato mosaic virus in Lycopersicon esculentum. They are allelic and originated from different lines of L. peruvianum, a wild relative of tomato. In this study, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers linked to these genes were screened in nearly isogenic lines (NILs). To detect RAPDs differentiating NILs, 220 different 10-base oligonucleotide primers were examined by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and 43 of them generated 53 consistent polymorphic fragments among the NILs. Out of these 53 fragments, 13 were arbitrarily chosen and examined in respect of whether they were linked to the netted virescent (nv) gene, since nv is tightly linked to the Tm-2 locus and its phenotype is more easily distinguishable. As a result, all 13 markers were shown to be linked to nv, and hence to the Tm-2 locus. Among them, two fragments specific to the NIL carrying Tm-2 three specific to the NIL carrying Tm-2a, and four specific to both of these NILs were closely linked to nv.

    Characterization of disease resistance gene-like sequences in near-isogenic lines of tomato (1998)

    Notes: Abstract  We examined near-isogenic lines (NILs) carrying either of the tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) resistance genes Tm-1 and Tm-2 for sequences homologous to the isolated disease-resistance genes. DNA fragments were amplified from the genomic DNA of the NILs by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers designed on the basis of sequences of certain domains conserved among some disease-resistance genes. Of ten PCR products cloned, five were identified as having homology to either of the two classes of disease-resistance genes. The first class encoded proteins containing leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) and a nucleotide-binding site (NBS), such as the RPS2 gene in Arabidopsis and the N gene in tobacco. The second class encoded proteins containing a C-terminal membrane anchor but no NBS, such as the Cf 2 and Cf 9 genes in tomato. In Southern hybridization of the genomic DNAs of the NILs carrying either Tm-1 or Tm-2 and their parental NIL carrying neither of these resistance genes, multiple bands could be detected with most of the clones used as probes. This suggests that the genomes of the NILs contain multiple copies of sequences homologous to some of the known disease-resistance genes. No evidence was obtained to show that the Tm-1 and/or Tm-2 loci encode either class of protein, since no polymorphic band patterns between the NILs were detected by Southern hybridization.

    Scopolamine prevents augmentation of stereotypy induced by chronic methamphetamine treatment (1995)

    Notes: Abstract Cholinergic neurotransmission has been implicated in various forms of neural plasticity such as kindling and learning. We have previously shown that blockade of muscarinic cholinergic receptors prevents the development of locomotor sensitization to methamphetamine. The present study was conducted to examine whether scopolamine, a muscarinic cholinergic antagonist, would also block augmentation of stereotypy induced by chronic methamphetamine (MA) treatment. Rats treated with MA (2.5 mg/kg, SC) for 10 days indicated significantly enhanced stereotyped behavior when tested with MA (2.5 mg/kg) after a 7-to 8- day withdrawal. Pretreatment with scopolamine (3 mg/kg) prior to MA administration prevented the augmentation of stereotypy. Rats treated with scopolamine alone showed no difference in MA-induced stereotypy compared to those treated with saline. Scopolamine methylbromide, a derivative of scopolamine that does not easily cross the blood-brain barrier, had no effect on the augmentation of stereotypy. These results suggest that stimulation of central muscarinic cholinergic receptors plays a role in the development of sensitization to the stereotypy stimulating effect of methamphetamine.
