    Notes: Abstract We have observed the time-height variation of the temperature field in the upper troposphere using a Radio Acoustic Sounding System (RASS) which consists of the MU radar and a high-power acoustic transmitter. The fast beam steerability of the MU radar has made it possible to measure temperature profiles in a fairly wide height range in the upper troposphere (5–11 km), even under intense wind conditions. Observations were continued for about 32 hr on 24–26 December, 1986 with a time-height resolution of 30 min and 150 m. During the observation period, the tropospheric jet was so intense that the acoustic wavefronts were severely distorted. Using wind velocity profiles observed by the MU radar we have numerically estimated the propagation of acoustic wavefronts, and further determined favorable pointing directions for the MU radar to receive significant backscattering from refractive index fluctuations produced by the acoustic waves. Conventional radiosonde soundings were carried out every 6 hr, which showed a temperature decrease of 4 K/day in the upper troposphere during the observation period. Temperature profiles taken by RASS agree well with the radiosonde results.

    Notes: Abstract Exposing cells to adverse conditions usually elicits expression of stress-response (heat shock) proteins (srp). Here we show that hyperosmolar growth conditions do not uniformly affect srp expression in MCF-7 and HeLa S3 cells, derived from carcinoma of the breast and cervix, respectively. Thus, whereas srp 27 expression was increased in MCF-7, but not in HeLa S3, the opposite was the case with srp 72. On the other hand, hyperosmolality did not induce αB-crystallin or ubiquitin in either cell line. These findings show that srp expression by the human tumor cells studied is non-coordinate, suggesting that each srp is independently modulated.

    Notes: Summary In the GK (Goto-Kakizaki) rat, a genetic model of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, glucose-induced insulin secretion is selectively impaired. In addition, it has been suggested by previous studies that impaired glucose metabolism in beta cells of the GK rat results in insufficient closure of ATP-sensitive K+ channels (KATP channels) and a consequent decrease in depolarization, leading to a decreased insulin release. We have recently reported that the site of disturbed glucose metabolism is probably located in the early stages of glycolysis or in the glycerol phosphate shuttle. In the present study, in order to identify the impaired metabolic step in diabetic beta cells, we have investigated insulin secretory capacity by stimulation with dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which is known to be directly converted to DHA-phosphate and to preferentially enter the glycerol phosphate shuttle. In addition, using the patch-clamp technique, we also have studied the sensitivity of DHA on the KATP channels of beta cells in GK rats. The insulin secretion in response to 5 mmol/l DHA with 2.8 mmol/l glucose was impaired, and DHA sensitivity of the KATP channels was reduced in beta cells of GK rats. From these results, we suggest that the intracellular site responsible for impaired glucose metabolism in pancreatic beta cells of GK rats is located in the glycerol phosphate shuttle.

    Notes: Summary In spontaneously diabetic GK rats, insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells in response to glucose is selectively impaired, probably due to deficient intracellular metabolism of glucose and impaired closure of KATP channels during glucose stimulation. By using electrically permeabilized islets of GK rats, we explored the functional modulations in exocytotic steps distal to the rise in [Ca2 + ]i in the diabetic condition. At 30 nmol/l Ca2 + (basal conditions) insulin release was similar between GK and non-diabetic control Wistar rats. In response to 3.0 μmol/l Ca2 + (maximum stimulatory conditions), insulin release was significantly augmented in permeabilized GK islets (p 〈 0.01). Raising glucose concentrations from 2.8 to 16.7 mmol/l further augmented insulin release induced by 3.0 μmol/l Ca2 + from permeabilized control islets(p 〈 0.001), but had no effect on that from permeabilized GK islets. The stimulatory effect of glucose on insulin release from permeabilized control islets was partly inhibited by 2,4-dinitrophenol, an inhibitor of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (p 〈 0.01). The hyperresponse to Ca2 + in GK islets may play a physiologically compensatory role on the putative functional impairment both in [Ca2 + ]i rise and energy state in response to glucose in diabetic β cells, and may explain the relative preservation of insulin release induced by non-glucose depolarizing stimuli, such as arginine, from pancreatic islets in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

    Notes: Summary In order to elucidate the direct effects of (±)-5-[4-(6-hydroxy-2, 5, 7, 8-tetramethylchroman-2-yl-methoxy) benzyl]-2,4-thiazolidinedione (Troglitazone), a newly-developed oral hypoglycaemic agent, on pancreatic beta-cell function, in vitro investigation of isolated rat pancreatic islets and a hamster beta-cell line (HIT cell) were performed. Troglitazone stimulates both glucose, and glibenclamide-induced insulin release at a concentration of 10−6 mol/l in these cells but, conversely, inhibits insulin secretion at 10−4 mol/l. Glucose uptake in HIT cells is similarly enhanced by 10−6 mol/l Troglitazone, but is reduced in the presence of 10−4 mol/l Troglitazone. However, a quantitative immunoblot analysis with a specific antibody for GLUT 2 glucose transporter revealed no significant change in GLUT 2 protein in HIT cells with 10−6 mol/l Troglitazone. Specific binding of [3H]-glibenclamide to beta-cell membranes is replaced by Troglitazone in a non-competitive manner, but 10−6 mol/l Troglitazone failed to eliminate ATP-sensitive K++ channel activity. These results suggest that Troglitazone has a putative non-competitive binding site at, or in the vicinity of, the sulphonylurea receptor in rat pancreatic islets and HIT cells and that the dual effect of Troglitazone on insulin secretory capacity is mediated through the modulation of glucose transport activity, possibly due to the modification of intrinsic activity in glucose transporter in pancreatic beta cells by this novel agent.
