THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENTIATION ON PHOTOSENSITIZER UPTAKE BY HL60 CELLS

The capability of human promyelocytic leukemia cells HL60 to be induced to differentiate to various stages along the monocytic or myelocytic pathway was exploited for investigation of the uptake of selected photo-sensitizers by diverse types of cells of the same origin. The results showed that there was no substantial difference in photofrin uptake between noninduced HL60 cells, immature monocytes, immature neutrophils and cells differentiated along the eosinophilic pathway. In contrast, HL60 cells differentiated into macrophages (HL609) exhibited markedly increased photofrin uptake, which was further enhanced by their pretreatment with bacterial lipopolysaccharide. Similar results were obtained with other photosensitizers tested: di-and tetrasulfonated aluminum phthalocyanines (AIPcS₂ and AIPcS₄), tetrasulfonated zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPcS₄), tetraphenylporphine tetrasulfonate (TPPS₄) and benzoporphyrin derivative monoacid (BPD). Despite marked differences in the state of self-aggregation and other chemical properties of these compounds, the degree of their preferential uptake by HL60 PH cells showed very little variation. In a typical experiment, the uptake of these photosensitizers by HL60 PH cells was four to five times higher than the uptake by noninduced HL60 cells. In addition to the fluorometric assay employed in most of the experiments, cellular concentration of AlPcS₄ was determined by measurement of elementary aluminum using atomic absorption spectroscopy.     

THE STIMULATORY EFFECT OF HEAVY METAL CATIONS ON PROLIFERATION OF AORTIC SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS

Heavy metal cations Cd~(2+), Pb~(2+), and Hg~(2+)were added to substitute for Ca~(2+)in culture media to study their effect on the relationship between CaM and the proliferation of cultured rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells (ASMC). It was found that all the heavy metal cations studied stimulated the proliferation of ASMC in varying degrees, increased the CaM content in cells at late G_1 stage and decreased the activity of cAMP PDE. These results suggest that the adverse effect of heavy metals may be related to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and hypertensive disease.

EFFECT OF A 30 kD PROTEIN FROM TECTAL EXTRACT OF RAT ON CUL-TURED RETINAL NEURON

For the first time we have shown here that the constituent from tectal extract (Te) which can support and promote the survival and growth of the retinal ganglion cell is a 30 kD protein. (i) Using MTT colorimetric microassay to measure the optical density for the survival and growth of the cultured retinal neuron, it was found that the optical densities for the experimental cultures with either Te, or its 10-30 kD fraction, or its ≥30 kD fraction were 2-4 times that of the control culture without Te (P<0.01). This indicated that experimental cultures were more active in growth, (ii) The retinal neurons cultured on Te Phast gels showed that large retinal neurons (>18 μm) grew only on the gel region containing the 30 kD protein. The retrograde prelabelled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for retinal ganglion cells indicated that these surviving neurons grown on Te Phast gel were HRP positive, i.e. retinal ganglion cells, (iii) The retinal explants cultured with 30 kD gels at a close distance of 1 mm ap     

STUDY ON MECHANISM OF ETHYLENE CONTROL OF SEX DIFFERENTIATION IN Lagenaria siceraria

The sex expression of Lagenaria siceraria can be modified by phytohormones. This modification is related to "a certain bisexual stage" during floral bud differentiation. ACC (ethylene precursor) and STS (ethylene antagonist) can change the direction of sex differentiation of the floral buds in vitro. STS induces maleness by means of inhibiting ethylene action, directly promoting the development of the primordia of stamens, and then suppressing that of pistils. Hence, it can be deduced that ethylene induces femaleness by directly suppressing the development of the primordia of stamens and then promoting that of pistils. Such a regulation of the development of sexual organs is due to a change in the direction of assimilates to the pistils by ACC and to the stamens by STS. Therefore, ethylene induces femaleness by first limiting the sink strength of the stamens and then increasing that of the pistils.

INTERNALIZATION OF GAP JUNCTIONS BETWEEN NEURON AND GLIAL CELL AND FORMATION OF ANNULAR LAMELLAR BODIES IN CHINESE LEECH Whitmania pigra

This paper reveals the formation of annular lamellar body (ALB) in the ganglion of leech by means of in situ fixation and the lanthanum nitrate tracer technique. This formation involves both wrapping and internalization of the gap junctions between glial processes themselves, as well as between neuron and glial process. The results indicate that there is probably an active process of internalization of membrane structures involving gap junctions between neuron and glial cell in the central nervous system in leech. The functions of ALB are discussed.     

THE PHOTOTOXIC EFFECT OF BENOXAPROFEN AND ITS ANALOGS ON HUMAN ERYTHROCYTES AND RAT PERITONEAL MAST CELLS

Abstract— Benoxaprofen [2-(4-chlorophenyl)-α-methyl-5-benzoxazoleacetic acid] is a phototoxic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent. Irradiation of human erythrocytes in the presence of benoxaprofen (8 μ M ) and oxygen resulted in rapid cell lysis which began after 10 min and was complete within 30 min. While photohemolysis was also observed under anerobic conditions, its onset was delayed for more than 20 min and it took nearly 100 min for complete lysis to occur. Photohemolysis was also delayed by butylated hydroxyanisole but was unaffected by reduced glutathione. 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, D₂O. β-carotene, or superoxide dismutase. The main photoproduct of benoxaprofen, 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-ethylbenzoxazole, was almost as effective in causing photohemolysis as benoxaprofen itself. In the presence of UV irradiation, benoxaprofen (10 (μ M ) caused the degranulation of rat peritoneal mast cells and the release of histamine. The release of mast cell histamine may provide a reasonable explanation for the urticarial response to benoxaprofen and irradiation seen in human subjects.     

PARADOXICAL EFFECT OF A GnRH AGONIST ON STEROIDOGENESIS IN CULTURED MONKEY GRANULOSA CELLS

In this study we demonstrate: (i) The GnRH agonist exerts a direct dose-dependet stimulative effect on the aromatase activity and progesterone production in cultured monkey granulosa cells; (ii)the stimulative effect on steroidogenesis can be completely blocked by concomitant treatment with a GnRH antagonist, suggesting that the actions of GnRH are mediated through stringent stereospecific recongnition sites; (iii) in addition to the stimulative effect, the GnRH agonist in the presence of gonadotropins also exerts an inhibitory effect, even though the peptide by itself is more effective in the stimulation of steroidogenesis, and the stimulation of gonadotropin on steroidogenesis could be gradually restored by decreasing the concentration of the GnRH agonist in the culture; and (iv) paradoxical effect can also be observed in the presence of cAMP-inducing agents, suggesting that the inhibitory action of the peptide on gonadotropin-induced steroidogenesis is localized at a step distal to the stringent reco

A STUDY ON THE STRUCTURAL EFFECT OF DOUBLE-BRIDGED CONJUGATIVE SYSTEMS

In this paper, the following carbonyl-imino bridged compounds and related analogs havebeen synthesized:X= C1, m = 0); and the structural effect of the carbonyl-imino bridges has been studied by means of the UV and other properties of the compounds. A new conception of conjugative segment is put forward. The structural bases for each of the three π-π* bands of (C) are ascertained and verified by modification on structure of segments, such as eliminating, merging, lengthening or shortening of segments. It is demonstrated that both bridges -CO-and -NH- can block the conjugated polarization of the whole molecule so as to form three segments S, M and L of which the λmax each exhibits relative independence. The electronic absorption peaks resulting from different segments can be readily recognized and the existence of each segment can be ascertained. This may provide a new way for structural analysis of bridged compounds.

THE EFFECT OF HOT DRAWN ON THE PHYSICAL AGING OF ATACTIC POLYSTYRENE

The physical aging behavior of atactic polystyrene (aPS) films achievedunder different drawing conditions has been studied by optical birefringence and modulatedifferential scanning calorimeter (m.d.s.c.). The results show that on annealing at specifictemperature below glass transition temperatue (T_g), the enthalpy relaxation (△H) and T_gdecrease with increasing of birefringence (△n). On the other hand, the effect of moleculardraw ratio (MDR) is confusing: △H and T_g decrease with increasing of MDR in the earlystage of aging, but the MDR's effect become unobvious with the development of aging.It may be concluded that the ordered domain generated by the drawing below or aboveglass transition temperature will affect the development of physical aging behavior. Theviewpoint of cohesional entanglement is used to account for the above observations.     

STUDIES ON THE CELL PHENOTYPE CHARACTERISTICS OF HYBRID CELLS CROSSED BETWEEN RAT NUCLEATED ERYTHROBLASTS AND MOUSE PLASMOCYTOMA (SP~2/O) CELL LINE

The present study is designed to investigate the regulatory effect of mammalian erythroblasts, prior to naturally-occurring denucleation, on malignancy of mouse plasmocytoma cells and the possibility of reactivation of the pyknotic late erythroblast nuclei in hybrid cells crossed between rat intermediate or late erythroblasts of 15-day Wistar rat embryonic livers, and mouse plasmocytoma (SP~2/O) cell lines. Results indicated that:(ⅰ) Suppression of tumorigenicity and reversion of the malignant phenotype were observed in hybrid cells in a similar way as those of cybrid cells crossed between reticulocytes and myeloma cells as we reported previously, thus providing further evidence to support the hypothesis that some regulatory substances already existed in mammalian intermediate and late erythroblasts long before nuclear extrusion. (ⅱ) Appearance of positive histochemical reaction for hemoglobins in cytoplasm and electrophoretic bands of rat and mouse globin chains in hybrid cell lysate were i. The tran
