    Notizen: Summary This study presents measurements of serum vitamin D metabolites, calcium and phosphorus as well as measurements of the equilibrium dissociation constant for duodenal 1,25(OH)2D3 receptor in 15-, 18-, 19-, and 20-day chick embryos in comparison to that in 1- and 118-day-old chicks and to vitamin D-deficient chicks. The present results showed that: (a) serum 1,25(OH)2D and 24,25(OH)2D levels rise from 15 and 18 to days 19 and 20 of embryonic development while serum phosphate levels are stable; (b) serum calcium levels rise at hatching to adult levels; (c) the duodenal 1,25(OH)2D3 receptor is detectable in 15-day-old embryo and has a Kd similar to that of 118-day-old vitamin D-replete chicks; and (d) the activity of 1,25(OH)2D3 receptor in chick duodenal cytosol is maximal at hatching.

    Notizen: Abstract We examined the existence and distribution of apoptotic cells in human gastric mucosa, chronic gastritis, adenomatous dysplasias and carcinomas in 15 surgically removed stomachs in which dysplasia and carcinoma were found simultaneously. Serial sections were cut for immunohistochemistry for p53 oncoprotein and Ki-67 antigen, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labelling (TUNEL). TUNEL signal-positive apoptotic cells were rare in normal mucosa, while a few apoptotic cells were noted in gastritic mucosa and intestinal metaplasia, intermingled with Ki-67 antigen-positive cells forming a generative cell zone. This suggests the cell-cycle-dependent apoptosis of gastric mucosa. The frequency of apoptotic cells per crypt was higher in incomplete than in complete metaplasia, implying greater underlying DNA damage in the former. TUNEL indices (TI; percentage of TUNEL-positive cells in tumour cells) were slightly higher in adenomatous dysplasias (4.9±2.1) than in carcinoma (3.9±1.1), but there was no no statistical difference. Ki-67 indices (KI; percentage of Ki-67 antigen-positive cells in tumour cells) were significantly (P〈0.05) higher in carcinomas than in dysplasias. Thus, gastric adenomatous dysplasias were characterized by relatively higher TI and lower KI, which might reflect a more static growth potential. The expression of p53 oncoprotein in cancer cells is thought to be an apoptosis-suppressing event, although its precise role remains to be elucidated. Overall, these results indicate that apoptosis plays a crucial part in the morphogenesis of gastritic mucosa including intestinal metaplasia, and that the process is correlated both with tumourigenesis and with proliferative activity.

    Notizen: Summary Although it is generally accepted that phagosome acidification is induced through the activity of a vacuolar proton pump (V-ATPase) present on the phagosome membrane, exactly how these pumps are delivered to the phagosomes is not well understood. To study this question inParamecium, it was necessary to first show that an authentic V-ATPase was present on their phagosomal membranes. Three antibodies raised against V-ATPases or their subunits were each found to label one or two large digestive vacuoles (DVs) inParamecium multimicronucleatum when immunofluorescence microscopy was used. Using horseradish peroxidase immunocytochemistry to increase sensitivity, about 10 DVs were shown to contain a V-ATPase. In high magnification images and cryoultramicrotomy these proton pumps were found to be located on the acidosomes, suggesting the vacuolar proton pumps on the DVs originate from the acidosomes. The authenticity of the V-ATPase was further confirmed by its sensitivity to cold temperature and to the V-ATPase specific inhibitor, concanamycin B, which at 10 nM doubled the t1/2 for vacuole acidification. Thus, we conclude that (1) acidosomes and some DVs ofParamecium have a bona-fide concanamycin B-sensitive and cold-sensitive V-ATPase, (2) the V-ATPase is delivered to the young DVs during acidosome fusion, and (3) the V-ATPase is involved in vacuole acidification. Finally, we have now determined thatParamecium has two immunologically related V-ATPases that are involved in two very different functions, (1) the acidification of phagosomes and (2) fluid segregation in the contractile vacuole complexes.
