    Notes: 1. The effects of neurotensin on pancreatic exocrine secretion were investigated both in the intact whole pancreas and in the isolated, blood-perfused pancreas ex vivo in anaesthetized dogs.2. Intravenous (i.v.) injections of neurotensin (0.01-1 nmol/kg) elicited dose-dependent increases in the secretory rate of pancreatic juice without changes in plasma levels of cholecystokinin (CCK). The concentration of bicarbonate in the pancreatic juice induced by neurotensin was increased, but the protein concentration was scarcely changed.3. The neurotensin-induced secretion was inhibited by SCH23390, a dopamine D-1 antagonist, but not by domperidone, phentolamine, propranolol, atropine, cimetidine, or L-364,718, a CCK antagonist.4. Intra-arterial (i.a.) injections of neurotensin (0.1-3 nmol/kg) also elicited dose-dependent increases in the secretory rate of pancreatic juice flow, but did not change bicarbonate or protein concentration. The secretory activities were less effective and 1 nmol/kg of neurotensin i.a. was approximately equal to that of 0.03 nmol/kg of neurotensin i.v.5. These results suggest that neurotensin mainly stimulates pancreatic secretion by acting indirectly. Neurotensin-induced secretion is, at least in part, mediated by endogenously released dopamine which activates dopamine D-1 receptors on the pancreas. In addition to its indirect action, neurotensin has a weak direct action to stimulate pancreatic secretion.

    Notes: 1. The effects of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors, Ro20,1724, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), trifluoperazine (TFP) and amrinone on pancreatic exocrine secretion were investigated in anaesthetized dogs in comparison with those of secretin and cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8).2. Ro20,1724 (1–30 nmol/kg), IBMX (3–30 nmol/kg), secretin (0.01–0.1 pmol/kg) or CCK-8 (0.1–1 pmol/kg) injected i.a. elicited a dose-dependent increase in the secretion of pancreatic juice, but TFP and amrinone (up to 1 μmol/ kg) did not.3. The bicarbonate concentration in pancreatic juice was increased and the protein concentration was decreased by Ro20,1724, IBMX and secretin. Cholecystokinin octapeptide increased the protein concentration but did not alter the bicarbonate concentration.4. Ro20,1724 and IBMX elicited more than the respective additive secretory response when added together with secretin, although the stimulatory effects of CCK-8 with Ro20,1724 and IBMX were additive.5. Ro20,1724 and IBMX increased cyclic AMP concentration but did not affect cyclic GMP concentration.6. These results suggest that Ro20,1724 and IBMX have secretory properties on pancreatic exocrine glands of the dog, which may be mediated through an increase in cyclic AMP subsequent to inhibition of PDE activity. Furthermore, pancreatic PDE enzymes in the dog may be mainly type IV.

    Notes: 1. The effects of peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI) on pancreatic exocrine secretion were investigated in preparations of the isolated and blood-perfused dog pancreas as compared with those of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), secretin and glucagon.2. Each peptide tested was injected intra-arterially (i.a.) as a single bolus. Graded doses of PHI (3–300 nmol/kg), VIP (1–100 nmol/kg) and secretin (0.01–0.3 nmol/kg) caused dose-dependent increases in the secretion of pancreatic juice and bicarbonate outputs, but had little effect on the protein outputs. Glucagon (0.1–10 μmol/kg) produced a bell-shaped dose—response curve for the secretory rate, bicarbonate and protein outputs.3. The secretory activity of 30 nmol/ kg of PHI corresponded roughly to that of 80 pmol/ kg of secretin, 9 nmol/kg of VIP and 0.6 μmol/kg of glucagon, respectively. Thus, based on administered dose, PHI was about 375 × less potent than secretin, 3 × less potent than VIP and 20 × more potent than glucagon.4. The PHI- and VIP-stimulated secretions were inhibited by a VIP antagonist, but not by a glucagon antagonist, SCH23390 (a dopamine D-1 antagonist), L-364718 (a cholecystokinin antagonist) or atropine.5. Each peptide increased cyclic AMP concentration, but not cyclic GMP concentration, concomitant with the increase in pancreatic secretion.6. From these results, it is concluded that PHI produces an increase in pancreatic secretion by acting on VIP-preferring receptors on the exocrine pancreatic gland of the dogs. This may be mediated at least in part through the increase of intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations.

    Notes: The serum of a 34-year-old woman with the Hallopeau type of pemphigus vegetans (PVg) contained antibodies against a 130-kDa polypeptide in human epidermal lysates. as revealed by Western blot analysis. The serum strongly fixed complement in vitro, and the PVg lesional skin contained a predomanance of complement-fixing IgG2 and lgG4. Although the antigeus reactive with sera from PVg and pemphigus vulgaris were the same strong fixation of complement by PVg antibodies, due to the presence of complement-dependent IgG subclasses, and subsequent in situ activation of complement might explain the marked infiltration of neutrophils and eosinophils in PVg.

    Notes: A 62-year-old woman had multiple plasmacytomas in the skin and lymph nodes, without Bence-Jones protein or a monoclonal peak of serum immunoglobulins. Infiltrating plasmacytoid cells expressed cytoplasmic IgG (λ) and surface CD38, without any B-cell markers. There was no visceral or bone marrow involvement suggestive of multiple myeloma. Southern blot analysis of extracted DNA from the cutaneous lesions showed two rearranged bands with an immunoglobulin, but not a T-cell receptor, gene probe. The patient showed a poor response to chemotherapy, and died of bronchopneumonia. The clinical course and cytological features differentiate multiple cutaneous extramedullary plasmacytomas from solitary cutaneous extramedullary plasmacytoma and cutaneous lesions associated with tnultiple myeloma.

    Notes: Dynamic expression of pemphigus antigens by cultured human and mouse keratinocytes was compared with that of desmosome-associated molecules and cellular markers relating to epidermal differentiation. Plakoglobin was detected in localized areas of keratinocyte sheets in low Ca2+ (0·15mM) KGM medium. In minimum essential medium (MEM) containing 1·8 mM Ca2+. plakoglobin was expressed in the intercellular spaces (ICS) throughout the keratinocyte sheet. Desmoplakin I and II. which were present in the cytoplasm of keratinocytes in the low Ca2+ medium, moved to the cell surface after the medium was changed to MEM. Desmoglein 1 and pemphigus vulgaris (PV) antigens were observed in the ICS of both the monolayers and stratilied areas in the MEM. Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) antigens, frequently together with desmoglein 1, involucrin and keratins specific for the upper layer of the epidermis, were expressed by stratified keratinocytes but not the cells in the monolayers. The Western blotting study of the cultured keratinocyte extract showed 160- and 130-kDa bands positive for desmoglein 1 antigens and a 1 30-kDa band stained with PV sera. These findings suggest that although desmoglein 1 molecules bear PF antigenic sites, their expression pattern by cultured keratinocytes is closely related to that of PV rather than PF antigens. The PF antigenic sites may be formed on desmoglein 1 during epidermal differentiation.

    Notes: Summary The pattern of binding of two different types of IgA class pemphigus-like antibodies was compared with that of the true IgG class pemphigus antibody. The IgG antibodies from pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and pemphigus foliaceus (PF) sera bound to the intercellular spaces in normal human epidermis, whereas only the PV antibody reacted with monolayers of keratinocytes derived from human foreskin. Both IgG and IgA antibodies from a patient with PF were found in the intercellular spaces of the epidermis and only the IgA antibody reacted with the cultured keratinocytes. The IgA antibody from a patient with a vesiculopustular eruption and whose serum contained IgA intercellular space antibody alone, bound to the upper epidermis but not to the monolayers of keratinocytes. These findings indicate that PV but not PF antigens can be expressed by monolayers of cultured human keratinocytes and that there are at least two distinct types of IgA intercellular antibodies.

    Notes: The mechanism of the occurrence of natural antikeratin antibodies in human sera was studied using hybrid spleen cells obtained from experimentally naive or from immunized mice. Antikeratin antibodies were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 5·9–9·5% of the culture supcrnatants of fused spleen cells taken from naive mice. When mice were immunized with keratins, the number of supernatants containing antikeratin antibodies was increased to eight out of 51 (15.7%). When immunized with non-keratin materials such as activated human T cells, adult T-cell leukaemia cell lysates, and human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1), 16·7–20·8% of the supernatants were found to contain antikeratin antibodies by ELISA.The antikeratin antibodies in the supernatants showed cytoplasmic staining of keratinocytes in human as well as mouse skin by indirect immunofluorescence. The antibodies reacted with extracted human epidermal keratins by dot-blot and Western blot analysis. Most antikeratin antibodies in the supernatants did not show cross-reactivity with exogenous antigens used for immunization and vimentin-type intermediate-sized filaments.The findings demonsrate that B cells producing antikeratin antibodies are common in naive mice, and produce various type of antikeratin antibodies following specific activation with epidermal keratins and non-specific immunological stimuli.

    Notes: We studied in vivo binding sites of pemphigus foliaceus (PF) auto-antibodies by immuno-gold labelling technique, and compared them with those of pemphigus vulgaris (PV). In early acantholytic lesions of PF, the bound antibodies indicated by 5 nm protein A-colloiclal gold particles were observed on the surface of keratinocytes, with particular affinity for desmosomes and separated attachment plaques. Nondesmosomal cell surfaces were sparsely labeled with the gold particles. A similar binding pattern was seen in the epidermal sheets obtained from a PV patient utilizing the Nikolsky phenomenon. These findings indicate that both PF and PV antigen-antibody complexes are densely located on the desmosomal areas in early pemphigus lesions, suggesting the pathogenic importance of functional impairment of desmosomes by the autoantibodies.
