    Notes: Summary It has been suggested that c-myc, one of the proto-oncogenes, plays a role in normal somatic cell proliferation and differentiation. To define whether c-myc is only expressed during somatic cell division or is also expressed during meiotic cell division, the production of c-myc mRNA and protein were investigated in the mouse testis by usingin situ hybridization with non-radioactive DNA probes and enzyme immunohistochemistry respectively. Forin situ hybridization, T-T dimerized DNA probes were used and DNAs hybridizedin situ were detected immunohistochemically using specific antibody against T-T dimer. The results indicate that c-myc mRNA and protein are expressed in a cell-cycle-dependent manner only in spermatogonia and not in spermatocytes and spermatids.

    Notes: Abstract In the livers of patients whose sera contained antibodies to C100-3 antigen (anti-HCV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA, the presence of HCV RNA and HCV capsid protein (CP) antigen was demonstrated byin situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, respectively. It was found that occasional hepatocytes in four of ten livers from patients whose sera were positive for both anti-HCV and HCV RNA hybridized with antisense as well as sense oligonucleotide DNA probes, whereas the probes did not hybridize with livers from patients whose sera were negative for anti-HCV and HCV RNA. Monoclonal antibody against a synthetic oligopeptide with amino acid sequence of HCV CP reacted with occasional hepatocytes in six of 14 livers from patients whose sera contained these HCV markers, but not with livers from patients whose sera were negative for both of them. These results suggest that HCV proliferates within hepatocytes since both antisense and sense probes hybridized with cytoplasm of the hepatocytes and that the virus matures in the cytoplasm as the capsid proteins were also found in the hepatocytes.

    Notes: Abstract 1. Chitin is known to promote skin wound healing. In this study, chitin, prepared from Zuwai crab shell, was used as a bridge between the proximal and distal stumps of cut hypoglossal nerves in shrews. We compared the effects of chitin on the regeneration of transected right hypoglossal nerve axons, with those of porcine dermis, bovine dermal aterocollagen, and autologous nerve bundles. 2. To assess the survival of neurones, the size of neuronal cell body, and number of motoneurones were determined in the absence of any bridged material and in the presence of porcine dermis, bovine dermal aterocollagen, chitin, or autologous nerve bundles as a bridge. 3. Our results revealed a significantly better outcome in chitin and autologous nerve bridged groups; the size of neuronal cell body and number of hypoglossal neurones were higher than in the other groups. Chitin also enhanced the regeneration of neurones; the number of horseradish peroxide positive neurones indicative of repaired axonal processes was significantly higher in chitin and autologous nerve-bridged groups than in other groups. 4. Our results demonstrated that the use of chitin sheet or autograft successfully prevented the death of severed neurones and promoted the regeneration of the lesioned nerve. Although the mechanisms underlying the effects of chitin are still unknown, chitin seems to be a potentially useful biocompatible material for nerve repair and regeneration.

    Notes: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering disease and is a photoaggravated dermatosis, but the mechanism of the aggravation is still unknown. Since damage to DNA initiates transcription of some genes, we investigated in epidermis of mouse ears the relationship between DNA damage by ultraviolet (UV) radiation and BP antigen (BP-Ag) gene activation. For this, albino male mice were irradiated with 254 nm wavelength UV for a total dose of 500 J m-2. At fixed times (0·5, 2, 24, 48 and 72 h) post-UV irradiation, mouse ears were cut off, frozen and sectioned. In the sections, it was found that immunohistochemically detectable pyrimidine dimers were observed in nuclei of all epidermal cells at 0·5 h that were almost repaired by 72 h; a frequency of single strand breaks in DNA detected by in situ nick translation started to increase in nuclei of all epidermal cell layers at 0·5 h and the increase continued up to 24 h; mRNA for BP-Ag localized by non-radioactive in situ hybridization appeared in nuclei of basal cells at 0·5 h and in both nuclei and cytoplasm at 2 h; and immunoreactive BP-Ag started to increase in the basal cell cytoplasm and in the basement membrane zone at 2 h. BP-Ag started to accumulate in the basement membrane zone at 2 h. It is suggested that UV radiation increased BP-Ag synthesis through BP-Ag gene activation and that this reaction is a factor which aggravates BP following UV irradiation in BP patients. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Biochemical analysis of the male germ cell-associated kinase (mak) gene, which was isolated recently by using weak cross-hybridization with the v-ros tyrosine kinase gene, revealed that the gene was highly expressed in mammalian testicular germ cells, but not in ovarian cells. In order to identify the cells which express the mak gene in more detail, we localized mak mRNA in frozen sections of mouse testis by non-radioactive in situ hybridization. In this study, we utilized thymine-thymine (T-T) dimerized mak cDNA as a haptenic, non-radioactive probe, and the signal was detected enzyme-immunohistochemically by using an anti-T-T antibody. As a result, mak mRNA was localized intensely in late pachytene (stage X) and diplotene (stage XI) spermatocytes, and faintly in dividing spermatocytes (stage XII) and early round spermatids (stage I-II), suggesting that the gene may play an important role in the phase around meiotic cell division, but not throughout the entire meiosis.
