    Notizen: Abstract The possibility that cyclooxygenase products of arachidonic acid might contribute to the defective T lymphocyte function of homosexual men with the reactive lymph node syndrome was examinedin vitro. T lymphocyte proliferation, assessed by the uptake of [3H]thymidine after the addition of phytohemagglutin, was 72,870±66,816 counts per minute (mean±SD) for eight patients and 119,589 ± 64,913 counts per minute for 30 controls (P〈0.05, Student'st test). Treatment with the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin increased the phytohemagglutin-induced proliferation of the T lymphocytes from five of eight patients, but none of 12 healthy homosexual and heterosexual control subjects. The production of prostaglandin E2 by T lymphocytes from six patients was 16.1±10.5 pg/5×106 cells/hr, as contrasted with that of 4.9±1.3 and 4.3±2.1 pg/5×106 cells for four healthy homosexual and six healthy heterosexual control subjects, respectively (P〈0.01, Student'st test). The production of prostaglandin E2 by the patients' monocytes was normal. Abnormalities of the cyclooxygenase pathway of T lymphocytes of patients with the reactive lymph node syndrome may reflect an immuno-regulatory defect, which predisposes to infections and may evolve into the more severe abnormalities of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome.

    Notizen: Eisenberg's helical hydrophobic moment (〈μH〉) algorithm was applied to the analysis of the primary structure of amphipathic α-helical peptide hormones and an optimal method for identifying other peptides of this class determined. We quantitate and compare known amphipathic helical peptide hormones with a second group of peptides with proven nonamphipathic properties and determine the best method of distinguishing between them. The respective means of the maximum 11 residue 〈μH〉 for the amphipathic helical and control peptides were 0.46 (±/-0.07) and 0.33 (0.07) (P+0.004). To better reflect the amphipathic potential of the entire peptide, the percent of 11 residue segments in each peptide above a particular 〈μH〉 was plotted vs 〈μH〉. The resulting curves are referred to as HM-C. The mean HM-C (of the two groups) was highly significantly different such that the HM-C method was superior to others in its ability to distinguish amphipathic from nonamphipathic peptides. Several potential new members of this structural class were identified using this approach. Molecular modeling of a portion of one of these, prolactin inhibitory factor, reveals a strongly amphipathic α helix at residues 4-21. This computer-based method may enable rapid identification of peptide of the amphipathic α-helix class.

    Notizen: T-lymphocytes, monocytes, and macrophages, which are the central constituents of immunological and chronic inflammatory reactions, generate numerous polypeptides and other factors capable of stimulating and modulating the proliferation and functions of fibroblasts. These principles differ widely in structure, target cell preference and functional specificity. The involvement of immunological mediators of fibroblast activities in normal wound healing has not been defined, but a role in some chronic fibrosing disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, has been suggested by the findings of functionally relevant concentrations in affected tissues. The elucidation of both the pathways of production of fibroblast-activating factors (FAFs) and the determinants of fibroblast responses will permit new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of deficiencies in wound healing and of abnormal fibrosis.
