    Notes: Abstract The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of a thyrotrophin-releasing hormone (TRH) analogue, RX77368, on performance of a working memory test, using a delayed non-matching to position (DNMTP) procedure, in (RS)-α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA)-induced septal-hippocampal lesioned rats. Following a postsurgery recovery period, pretrained rats were tested once daily on DNMTP, 30 min post-administration of RX77368 (1.0 mg kg−1, IP) or saline. AMPA-induced lesions significantly reduced percent correct responses during the second week of testing. Comparison of percent correct responses between days 1 and 13 of testing showed that sham rats significantly improved DNMTP performance, whereas lesioned rats did not. RX77368 significantly reduced general locomotor activity in sham rats in activity boxes, but did not disrupt non-mnemonic measures, such as locomotion and motivation, in the DNMTP test. RX77368 increased percent correct responses in AMPA-lesioned rats on days 8–10 and 11–13. There was also a significant improvement in percent correct responses achieved between day 1 and 13 in RX77368-treated lesioned and sham rats. These results showed that: (i) septal-hippocampal lesioned rats did not improve over the testing period; and (ii) on test days when a significant impairment was present, RX77368 partially improved DNMTP performance.

    Notes: Summary Explants from mouse jejunum were cultured for 3–7 h in the absence (control) or presence of colchicine (100 gm/ml) or nocodazole (10 μg/ml). In recovery experiments, expiants were cultured in fresh medium for an additional period. To label glycoproteins, 3H-fucose was added during the last 3 or 6 h of the initial culture or recovery period. Subcellular fractionation studies revealed that colchicine and nocodazole inhibited migration of labelled glycoproteins to the brush border (P2) by 40–45%. Radioautographic studies of absorptive cells showed that colchicine and nocodazole inhibited labelling of the microvillous border by 67% and 87%, while labelling of the basolateral plasma membrane increased by 114% and 275%. Immunocytochemical studies revealed that both colchicine and nocodazole caused the virtual disappearance of the microtubular network in the absorptive cells. It is possible that some glycoproteins normally destined for the microvillous border are rerouted to the basolateral membrane. The observed loss of microtubules after drug treatment suggests that microtubules may play a role in the intracellular migration of membrane glycoproteins. Additional support for this concept is provided by the fact that in recovery experiments the distribution of label returned to control values after the microtubular network became re-established.

    Notes: Summary Expiants from adult mouse jejunum were cultured for 3 h in a medium which contained both 3H-fucose (10 or 25 μCi/ml) and monensin (100 μM) or 3H-fucose only (control). Radiochemical analysis of cell fractions showed that 3H-fucose labelling of the brush border fraction decreased 42% in monensin-treated expiants, suggesting that in absorptive cells the intracellular transport of newly synthesized glycoproteins to the apical plasma membrane had been inhibited. Electron-microscopic examination of treated expiants revealed a variation in response to the drug from region to region. In some areas, both absorptive and goblet cells exhibited little alteration. In others, the Golgi cisternae of both absorptive and goblet cells were entirely replaced by large vacuoles, and in the latter cell type, the cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum were greatly distended. Electron-microscopic radioautographic analysis showed that in absorptive and goblet cells exhibiting little morphological change, intracellular transport of newly synthesized glycoproteins was similar to that in controls. In regions where absorptive cells exhibited extensive Golgi modifications, intracellular transport remained normal in some cases; more often-however, there was a marked inhibition (over 70%) of transport of labelled glycoproteins to the apical surface. Transport to the basolateral membrane was never affected. In goblet cells exhibiting modifications of the Golgi apparatus and rough endoplasmic reticulum, no incorporation of 3H-fucose label in the Golgi apparatus occurred, suggesting a block of intracellular transport proximal to the site at which 3H-fucose is added. In absorptive cells, this does not appear to be the case, since the level of 3H-fucose incorporation in all treated cells remained similar to that in controls.
