INTRODUCTION
- This report records several noteworthy events in regard to The Council.
First, it-sets a Council record for a single_year because it contains abstracts
of 327 published scientific documents acknowledging Council support. Most of
these reports were published in 1985 while others were published less recently.
At least 2,852 reports acknowledging Council support have appeared in the -
literature since The Council began providing funds to independent investigators
doing research in smoking and health. - This indicates that The Council's ongoing
research program is one of the most extensive of its-kind anywhere.
One of the abstracts represents what may be another first publication of a
Council-supported study in a scientific journal in the People's Republic of China.
During 1985, William U. Gardner, Ph.D., retired from the Scientific
Advisory Board which he joined in 1972; he also served subsequently as The
Council's Scientific Director. -
Joining the-Board in 1985 was another distinguished scientist, Manfred L.
Karnovsky, Ph.D., who is Harold T. White Professor of Biological Chemistry at
Harvard Medical School, Boston. - -
Since its establishment in 1954, The Council has made available more than
$100,000,000 for research by 551 scientists for 924 original projects in 290 medical
schools, hospitals and research institutions. - -

MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF CYTOCHROMc P-450
The cytochrome P-450-dependent monoxygenases are widely recognized as playing
a primary role in the detoxification and/or- activation of xenobiotics in hepatic- and
extrahepatic tissues. In the experiments reported here, it is shown that pretreatment of
animals with various inducing agents results in- increases in_ the activity and specific
content of particular cytochrome P-450 -isozymes and may result in decreases in- the
specific content and activity of others. Preliminary investigations in several laboratories
have shown that the increase in cytochrome P-450c, the major 3-methylcholanthrene
inducible isozyme, and cytochrome P-450b, the major phenobarbital inducible isozyme,
is preceeded by an increase in specific mRNA levels, suggesting a role for transcriptional
regulation. Investigations are continuing into the mechanism of regulation for the
induction of these two proteins.

DNA POLYMERASE ACTIVITY IN A-REPAIR=DEICIENT-HUMAN CELL LINE
A human low-density-lipoprotein {LDL) receptor-deficiant diploid fibrobtast cell
line (GM1915) was determined to be short patch competent (DNA polymerase-P) and
long patch deficient (DNA polymerase-a) for DNA excision repair. Analysis of DNA
from GM1915 cells or froni WI38 control cells, following trestment-w.ith a mutagen -
known to initiate- long patch excision repair, showed that GM1915 -cells exhibited
decreased resynthesis of oligonucleotide segments excised during repair. When cells
deficient in DNA polymerase-a: activity were permeabilized to-permit LDL entry, repair -
synthesis immediately increased. These data suggest that DNA polymerase-o is not -
activated by mutagen- :reattnent in GM1915-cells and that introduction of -LDL into the=
cells results in activation of-the enzyme. - -- -- -

POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYL' UPTAKE AND TRANS_PORT BY LYMPH
AND PLASMA COMPONENTS
The uptake and vascular transport of ingested Aroclor 7242, an isomeric mixture of
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), was investigated in experimental animals. High
concentrations of ingested PCB were found in the chylomicron fraction of thoracic duct
lymph. When the lymph flo-w was exteriorized. PCB were not subsequently found in the --
vascular circulation. When lymph was not exteriorized plasma PCB concentrations -
reached maximal levels 6 hr after ingestion. -Less than 1% of total plasma Pi.B was
detected in--cellular -fractions -of blood over a 10-hr period- following ingestion.
Chylomicrons contained 31% of total plasma PCB 30 min after ingestion, decreasing to
-less than 6% at 4 hr. A maximum of 10% of plasma PCB at l-hr, and <5% at 6-hr, after -
ingestion was associated with very low densi.y lipoproteins (VLDL) or low density
lipoproteins (LDL). Although PCB enter the vascular circuiation -with -thchylomicron
fractions of lymph,-delipopioteinated plasma contained 52% of the total PCB in blood
collected 30 min after ingestion. This level increased to 78% after 2 hr and remained
constant at about 80% for an additional 8-hr period. High performance liquid
chromatographic exam7natiosss of delipoproteinated plasna from- blood taken 6 hr after
PCB ingestion showed elution of > 95% of plasma PCB to coincide with the albumin
peak. Etectrophoretic examinations of delipoproteinated plasma showed the association
of PCB with albumin to be noncovalent. The results suggest that apolar - PCB are
absorbed into intestinal epitnelial cells from which they are secreted into the lymphatic
drainage sequestered within the apolar core of chylomicrons, that these PCB transit the
thoracic duct and enter the vascular circulation within-chylomicrons and are metabolized
or otherwise released from chylomicrons during hepatic chylomicron clearance, and that
resulting PCB or PCB derivatives circulate in association with plasma albumins. ---

ALKYLATION OF_DEOXYG_UANOSaI+fE BY THE SESQUITERPENE LACTONE
HYMENOXON
Hymenoxon, _ a toxic sesquiterpene lactone found in the ruminant forage
plant Hymenoxys odorata, _ binds deoxyguanosine yguanosine in a cell-free system and forms
adducted guanine residues in sheep lymphocyte DNA. Mitogen-stimulated DNA
synthesis in lymphocytes was inhibited by hymenoxon at concentrations greater than
100 µM. Unscheduled DNA synthesis in lymphocytes - was initiated by hymenoxan
concentrations exceeding 50 pM, and inhibited by concentrations above 100 µM. We
describe an HPLC method which separates unmodified hymenoxon and deoxyguanosine
from the hynienoxon-deoxyguat.osine adduct and allows the quantitation of adducts in
hymenoxon-treated cells.

UPTAKE AND VASCULAR TRANSPORT-OF INGESTED AFLATOXIN
- The uptake and vascular transport of gastrically instilled aflatoxin Bi (AFBI) was
investigated in sheep. Aflatoxin uptake was compared with that of _dalmitate, a
water- insoluble -oil known to be-absorbed_ into the_ intestinal lymphatic drainage which
bypasses the liver to enter the peripheral vascular circulation via the thoracic duct.- After_
instillation in animals-with exteriorized thoracic duct 47ow, AFBI was detected in inferior
vena cava blood within 30 min, while palmitate was not detected in vena cava blood at-
any time. Pslmitate-was detected in-thoracic duct lymph after approximately 2 hr. _
Greater than 95% nf palmitate in lymph was associated with the chylomicron fraction,
while aflatoxin in either plasma or lymph was not detectably associated with any of the
circulat'sng lipoproteins. In addition, AF-B1 did not partition into plasma or lymph
lipoproteins in vitro. Toxic lipophilic xenobio.ics, such - as benzo(o)pyrene and
polychlorinated biphen_ yls, do partition into lipoproteins, are absorbed into the intestinal
drainage, bypass- the liver to directly enter the peripheral vascular circulation, and are
not specifically hepatptoxic. These data indicate that the mode of AFBz absorption from
the gastrointestinal system results in its immediate transport to the -iiver, which may -
contribute to AfB1 hepatotoxicity. - -

MITOCHONDRIA IN TUMOR CELLS: E-FFECTS OF CYTOSKELETON ON -
DISTRIBUTION-AND AS TARGETS FOR SELECTIVE KILLING
The basis for the difference in-mitochondrial rhodamine -123 retention between
carcinoma cells and norm_al_epitheliai celL is still under investigation. However,- it is
likely one of the factors involved is the higher mitochondrial- membrane potential in-
carcinoma cells. It is of interest to_ note that this is the reverse of what has -been
observed in normal and transformed mink fibroblasts. -Despite the lack of understanding _
of the basic mechanism, this=work confirms, in a-partial and-prelimi nary way, Warburg's
intuition that paying attention to mitochondria in tumor cells may ultimately help the
treatment of cancer.

glutaraldehyde-fixed cells. -- A similar reticular structure can be detected by
phase-contrast microscopy -and- -.vhole-mount electron microscopy in -potassium
permanganate-fixed cells as well. This structure is mostly tubular, with some patchlike
areas, and-is dikely to-be the endoplasmic reticulum. The organization of the- reticular
structure is sensitive to colchicine and rotenone but not to cytochalasin B, taxol, monesis,
the calcium ionophore A23187, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate, or hydrocortisone.

MITOCHONDRIAL AND PLASMA MEMBRANE POTENTIALS CAUSE -
UNUSUA-L-ACCL:MULATION AND RETENTION OF RHODAMINE-123 BY
HUMAN BREAST ADENOCARCINOMA-DERI1 ED tiiICF-7 CELLS
Quantitative studies of MCF=T cells (derived from human breast adenocarcinoma)
and CV-1 cells-(from normal African green monkey kidney epithelium),°- using the
permeant cationic compound- tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP), in conjunction with
fluorescence microscopy using rhodamine 123 (Rh123), indicate that the mitochondrial
-and plasma membrane potentials af fect both uptake and retention of= these compounds.
Under conditions that depolarize the plasma membrane, uptake and retention of TPP and
Rh123, driven onlyby-tt,e mitochondrial membrane potential, are greater in- MCF-7 than
in CV-I. An ionophore that dissipates the mitochondrial membrane potential -of MCF-7
cells causes them to _resemble CV-i- cells by decreasing uptake and retention.
Hyperpolar izing the ` mitochondriat- membrane- of- CV-I increases accumulation and
prolongs retention; hypergolarization of the= plasma membrane further heightens this
affect, causing the uptake of CV-1 cells to resemble that of MCF-7 cells even more
closely. The greater uptake and retention by -MCF-7 appear to be a consequence of
elevated mitochondrial and plasma-n:embrane potentials.- The plasma membrane potential
affects mitochondrial retention of TPP and Rh 123, and its role in enhancing the effect of
a-difference in mitochondrial membrane potential is explained.

MITOCHONDRIA.IN LIVING CELLS: EFFECTS OF GROWTH FACTORS AND
TUMOR PROMOTERS. ALTERATIONS IN CARCINOMA CELLS, -AND- TARGETS
FOR THERAPY
Rhodamine 123 is useful for localizing mitochondria as well as for reflecting
electFochemical gradients across mitochondria in living cells. The latter is substantiated
by tetraphenylphosphorium (TPP) a widely --usecf- membrane potential probe.
12-0-tetradecancylphorbol- 13-acetate (TPA) converts filamentous mitochondria into -a
-granular shape but-does not-affect-the electrochemical gradient. Platelet-derived growth
factor_leads to an- increase in mitochondrial membrane potential as well as to-a clustering
of mitochondria at the perinuclear region 3 hr after treatment of resting -BALB/c-3T3
cells. Whereas the majority of tumor cell lines do not have altered electrochemical
gradients across mitochondria, the forms of expression -between membrane potential and
pH gradient can be varied. For numerous adenocarcinoma-derived cells; ~this gradient
appears to be preferentially expressed as a membrane potential. Thus, the mitochondrial
membrane potential is higher-in=adenocarcirroma -cells than in normal epithelial cells.
These carcinoma cells take up 5-fold to 20-fold more rhodamine 123, TPP or other
lipophilic, cationic compounds that can reach mitochondria than do normal epithelial
cells. Tnis phenotype may be-exploited for chemotherapy of adenocarcinoma cells. A
lipophilic, cationic drug, dequalinium chloride; widely used for sore throat irn humans, is
highly toxic to carcinoma cells and exhibits a significant anticarcinoma activity in
animals.

INCREASED RHODAMINE 123 UPTAKE BY CARCINOMA CELLS
The total cellular content of the fluorescent rtttitochondrial-specific dye, rhodamine
123 (Rh-123), was quantified by butanol extraction as a function-of-time of exposure-
and dose for a variety of cell lines. These results were compared with observations made
by fluorescence-microscopy on dye localization and mitochondriak morphology. There
appeared to-be two categories of cell types based on Rh-123 uptake: those which
progressively accumulate the dye, such as Ehrlich ascites tumor -cells, carcinoma-derived
lines MCF-7, PaCa-2; i,-HeLa, and normal fibroblast line CCL 64; and those which
appear to equil'abrate- with-the-extracellular dye within 1 h of incubation in Rh-123
(1 µg/ml)-wiih a minimal level of uptake, such -as the normal epitheliai=derived lines
CV-1 and MDCK and the transformed fibroblast line 64F3.= Within the first category,
the absolute value of uptake per cell correlated with the concentration of Rh-123 in the-
medium and with the period of exposure to the dye up to a point of apparent cellular
saturation. The length of time required for apparent saturation depended on the cell
type. In the second category, equilibration-was very early, and the total uptake was a
function of the extracellula:"=concentration of Rh-123. This probably does not represent
a saturation level of dye content in the non-accumulating, low uptake cell lines.
Fluorescence - microscopy -revealed that ' Rh-123 localization was- initially
mitochondrial-specific for --al1 the cell lines examined. Over time, alterations in
mitochondrial morphology and_ cytoplasmic fluorescence was observed in the high uptake
cell lines but not in the mir:imal uptake cell lines: Incubation of the high -uptake HeLa
cell line with- ihe-= mitochondrial membrane' - potential inhibitor,
p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone, substantially -decreased Rh=123 uptake. These
observations may indicate a transformation-related characteristic of carcinoma cell
mitochondria. It may be possibie -to exploit the mechanism -respbnsible for the
progressive accumulation -=-of Rh-123 by carcinoma-derived celi- types for
chemotherapeutic approaches to ce.-tain types of carcinomas. -

IDEN i IFICA T ION-AND QUANTIFICATION OF A MESSENGER-RIBONUCLEIC
ACID INDUCE-D BY-POLYNUCLEAR AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS - USING
A CLONED HUMAN CYTOCHROME P-450 GENE
The researchers have isolated four overlapping human genomic clones associated
with the polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-induced form of- cytochrome P-450.
The form of P-450 most closely associated with PAH induction has been defined as
P1-450. These four overlapping genomic clones span a total of 31.0 x 103 base pairs in
12

length with the coding sequence lying in the center of these clones. Translation in vitro
-of 3-methylcholant)trene-induced mRNA, selected with- the human P,-450 genomic
clone, detects a protein with Mr-52000, which is immunoprecipitabie by- the anti-(mouse
P,-450) antibody. - The - isolated human P1-450_ - gettomic clone - hybridizes to
3-methylcholanthrene-induced mRNA from monkey tiver, benzanthracene and
3-methyicholanthrene-treated human mammary tumor cells (MCF-7), but not to
isosafrole-treated human cells. - Upon treatment with PAH there is a positive correlation-
between induced arylhydrocarbon hydroxylase (flavoprotein-linked monoxygenase)
activity and the amount of mRNA that hybridizes to the isolated human genomic clone -
for P1-450. The size of mRNA, induced from human cells and monkey liver by .PA-H, is
around 3.3 x_10' -base pairs, which is the same as the larger of two mRNA_ induced by
PAH in the inbred strain of mouse (C57BL/6N). Their data also showed that the isolated
DNA clone - can -, detect a- mRNA -size of 3.3 x 103 = base- pairs from
phytohemagglutinin-activated benzanthracene-treated human lymphocytes. Densitometer
scanning indicated the presence of a 3.6-fold variation (highes-lowest) in the levels of
lymphocyte Pl-450 mRNA contents among six individuals studied.

DISPARATE DIFFERENTIATION IN HEMOPOIETIC COLONIES DERIVED
FROM HUMAN PAIRED PROGENITORS
The researchers analyzed_the differentiation of hemopoietic-colonies derived from
human paired daughter cells. Candidate progenitor cells were-isolated by use of a
micromanipulation technique from cultures of- My-10 antigen-positive cord- blood cells.
Nine to 36 hours later the paired daughter cells were separated with a micromanipulator
and allowed to form colonies in-methylcellulose medium containing erythropoietin,
phytohemagglutinin !eukocyte-conditioned medium, and platelet-poor plasma. The
cellular composition of the colonies was determined by differentiating all the cells of the
May-Grunwald-Giemsa-stained preparation. Of a total of 75 evaluabie pairs of colonies,
35 consisted of 28- types of disparate pairs revealing nonhomologous lineage
combinations. Forty pairs were homologous in lineage expression. However, the
proportions of the individual cell lineages were significantly different in th-e members of
some of the homologous pairs. Some pairs revealed significant differences in- colony
size. These observations are similar to those reported for murine paired-progenitors and
are consistent with the stochastic model of huma stem cell differentiation.

and DNA sequencing indicate that there is only one gene per genome; it contains six
ezons_ and is located within- a 3,200-base-pair fragment starting- from a-TATA box and
extending to the polyadenylation signal AATAAA. Transcription starts 37 base- pairs
upstream from the beginning of the translation-codoa ATG. The TATA box (TATAAA)
lies 26 base- pairs upstream from this site. The gene contains several potential-

-- INTERMEDIATE-FILAMENT PROTEINS IN PARATHYROID GLANDS AND
PARATHYROID ADENOMAS
The intermediate-filament proteins of normal,- hyperplastic, and adenomatous
-parathyroid glands were analyzed immunohistochemically and by immu_nobloiting with
monospecific antibodies. In both normal-and adenomatous parathyroid glands, we found
keratins with molecular weights of 52, 45, and 40 kilodaltons (Nos. 8. 18, and 19,
respectively. Vimentin-proteins could be identified only in stromal cells,-while glial
fibrillary- acidic proteirn was not found. in normal parathyroid glands, neurofilament
positivity was seen only in nerve axons. In five of 15 parathyroid gland adenomas some
keratin-positive cells expressed neurofilament-like immunoreactivity also. In
cytoskeleta_1 extracts of one adenoma, the -200-kiloda;ton neurofilament protein was
identified by immunoblotting. Thus, it appears that some parathyroid gland adenoma
cells may acquire neurofilament proleir.s and coexpress cytokeratin and neurofilament
polypeptide in a way comparable with that reported in certain neuroendocrine tumors.

REGULATORY FACTORS SPECIFIC FOR ADULT AND EMBRYON:C GLOBIN
GENES MAY GOVERN THEIR EXPRESSION IN ERYTHROLEiIK£IvIIA CELLS
- In order to test if trans-acting regulatory factors specific for globin genes of the
adult and embryonic stages of development exist in erythroid cells, transcriptionally
active embryonic and adult globin genes on the same_ chromosome were transferred by
cell fusion from the human leukemia cell K562 into phenotypically adult mouse
erythroleukemia cells. Restriction-fragment-length polymorphisms of the K562 ;
embryonic giobin- genes were- used to establish that all -three--sopies- -of human
chromosome 16 present io the-K5h2 cell showed the-sa:ne pattern of human gfobin gene
expression after transfer to the mouse erythroleukemia cell. Adult (a) but not embryonic
(f) human globin mRNA was detected in all nine of the independently derived mouse
erythroleukemia hybrid cells, each=--of which contained human chromosome 16.
Restriction endonuclease studies of the K562 a and S-globin genes after transfer into the
mouse erythrolemia cell showed no evidence of rearrangements or deletions that- could
explain this loss of, ~-globin gene expression. -These data suggest that regulation of
globin gene expression in these erythro:eukemia cells involves trans-acting -regulatory
factors specific for the adult-and embryonic stages of development.

TRIPARTITE on2 GENE AND-OF THE LTR,_ AND ANAL_ :'SIS OF Ti-[E- CELLULAR
PROTOTYPE OF THE VIRAL ets SEQUENCE
- An intact 5.7-kb prcvirus of the avian erythrob;astosis virus E26- has been
molecularly cloned for comparisons with avian myeloblastosis -v-irus (AMV) and other _
avian tumor viruses. E26 and AMV transforr.. hemopoietic ceft sxclusively; Both cause _
myeloblastosis, but E26 also causes erythroblastosis. Sequence analysis of the proviral
DNA-showed that (i) The tripartite transfornnrir.g gene-of E-26-forms a contiguous_
reading frame of 1046_codoas, including 272 gag, 283 mybE. and 491 ets codons. No-
subgenomic ets-specific mRNA was detected in E26-infected cells. By c ontrast, the onc
gene of -AMY consists almost entirely of a asyb' - sequence expressed via subgenr:nic
mRNA that extends over the 5' and-3' ends of rnybE.= (ii) mybE is only slightly -
diverged from the myb'A homolog of AMV and even less from the- cellular prote-rnyb
sequence withpo-characteristic_ mutation that sets apart the twa viruses from proto-5nyb:
(iii) The U5-segion of the long terminal repeat (LTR) of E26 and AMV are colinear and
differ only in scattered point mutations. The U3 region of the E26 LTR is different -
from that of AMV but-is colinear and-closely related with that of avian carcinoma virus
MH2 and-also with that of Prague Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), except for an unexpected
15-nucleotide substitution of 22 RSV nucleotides. Upstream of the 3' LTR, the -c
region of E26 appears to be the-same as that of RSV for 70-t.ucleotides and very similar
to those of AMV and MH2-for about 20 to 30 nucleotides. Since the U3s of E26, MH2
and RSV are very closely related and neither MH2 nor RSV shows a particular
erythroblast tropism, it is possible- that the U3 does -not play a critical role in the
erythroblast tropism of E26. _Eiectrophoretic size-analyses of chicken DNA digested with
restriction enzymes indicate that DNA fragments totaling over 50 kb hybridize with- -
viral ets DNA.

ACTIVATED PROTO-ONC CrE NF.S: SUFFICIENT OR NECESSARY FOR-CANCERI
Proto-onc genes are normaLs.elluiar genes that are related to the transforming (onc)-
genes of retroviruses. Because of this relationship, these genes are now widely believed
to be potential cancer genes. In some-tumors,-proto-onc genes are mutated or expressed
more than in normal cells. -Under these conditions, proto-onc genes are hypothesized to
be active cancer-genes in one of two possible ways: The one gene-onc cancer hypothesis
suggestF that one activated proto-onc gene is sufficient to cause cancer the
muitigene-onc cancer hypothesis suggests that an activated proto-onc gene is a necessary, -
but not a sufficient, cause of cancer. However, mutated or *.rrnscriptionaliy activated-
proto-onc genes--are not consistently associated- with the tumors in which they are
occacionally- found and do not transfor-nt primary ceils.- Further, no- set of an activated
proto-onc gene a-ad a complementary cancer gene with transforming function has yet
been isolated from a tumor.- Thus, there is still no proof that activated proto-onc genes
are sufficient or even necessary to-cause cancer.

MU'Y'ACENESIS OF AVIAN CARCINOMA VIRUS MH2: ONLY-ONE OF TWO
- POTENTIAL TRANSFORMING GENES (6gag-myc) TRANSFORMS FIBROBLASTS
Avian carcinoma virus MH2 contains= two potential -transforming
genes, Qgag-mfi: and 6gag-myc: Thus, MH2 may be a model for two-gene carcino-
genesis in which transformation depends on two synergistic genes._ Most other directly
oncogenic virus_gs contair. single, autonomous transforming (ahc) genes and are models
for single-gene carcinogenesis. To determine which role le each potential on.c gene of MH2
plays in oncogenP_ sis,-we have prepared deletion and frameshift mutants of each of- the
two MH2 genes by in vitro mutagenesis of cloned proviral DNA_ and have tested
transforming function and virus production in cultured-primary quail cells. We have-
found that mkt z:eletion mutants and wild-type virus transform- primary cells and
that myc deletion and frameshift mutants do not. The morphologies of cells transformed
by the mhf deleticn _mutants and by wild-type MH2 are similar yet vary considerably.
-Nevertheiess, typical mutant transformed cells ean often be distinguished from cells
transformed by wild-:ype- MH2. We conclude that the Sgag-myc gene transforms_
primary cells by itself, without-the second potential onc gene. This myc-related gene is
the smallest that has- direct transforming function. Agag-mht is without detectable
transforming function-but may affect transformation by dgag--myc. Thus, MH2 behaves _
like a virus with a single onc gene, although it expresses two potential onc genes, and it
appears not to be- a model for two-gene carcinogenesis. - Further work is necessary in _
order- to determine whether the Ggag-mht gene possibly enhances oncogenic function
of 6gag-m)c or has independent oncogenic function in animals.

- Extravascular coagulation is a prominent- feature- of such important pathological
processes as cellular immunity and neoplasia and has been thought- to result from
procoagulants associated with the inflammatory or-tumor cells peculiar to these entities.
It was found that increased microvascular permeability alone is sufficient to induce
equivalent extravascular coagulation in several normal tissues. The results indicate that
saturating levels of procoagulant are present even in normal tissues and that
microvascular permeability is a rate-limiting step in extravascular coagulation. -

CHEMICAL-VIRAL INTERACTIONS IN CELL TRANSFORMATION: - -
ENHANCEMENT OF HUMAN ADENOVIRUS TRANSFORMATION OF CLONED
RAT EMBRYO FIBROBLAST (CREF) CELLS BY ALKYLATING CARCINOGENS
A major advance in studying carcinogenesis has been the development of well
defined cell culture systems which mimic in vitro carcinogenesis as it occurs in
vivo. Utilizing these systems, stages analogous to initiation, promotion and progression
have been identified and important insights into the molecular events involved in these
processes should be forthcoming. In this review we describe some of our recent studies
using the highly transformable CREF cell line to investigate the-interactions between
MMS and Ad5 in regulating the -frequency of viral transformation and expression- of the
transformed phenotype. Our findings - indicate - that carcinogens enhance Ad5
transformation, but do not alter the pattern of viral DNA integration into cellular DNA
or the qualitative expression of the transformed state. A likely hypothesis is that certain
carcinogens exert their enhancing effect on DNA virus transformation by increasing the-
proportion -of cells ;n an infected culture which can stably integrate viral DNA=and
thereby become transformed. In other cases, carcinogens may enhance DNA virus
transformation by altering the expression of viral and/or cellular genes required for
establishment of the transformed state_
Human T-cell leukemia virus, herpes viruses and Hepatitis- B virus have been
implicated in the development of specific human malignancies, but a direct link between
viruses and the majority of human neoplasms has not been demonstrated. A-possible
reason for this apparent negative correlation may be that in most human malignancies,
putative viruses cause cancer via synergistic interactions with initiating chemical

ANALYSIS OF THE REDUCED GROWTH FACTOR DEPENDENCY OF SIMIAN
- VIRUS 40-TRANSFORMED 3T3 CELLS
The authors have measured in a defined seruin-free medium the platelet-derived-
growth factor (PDGF) and insulin requirements of normal Swiss 3T3 cells, simian virus _
40-transformed 3T3 cells, and partial revertants of simian virus 40-transformed 3T3
cells. Swiss 3T3 cells displayed strong requirements for both PDGF and-insuiin. Both of
these requirements were significantly diminished in simian virus 40-transformed 3T3--
cells. Analysis of the PDGF and insulin requirements of the revertants indicated that the
loss of either of these two gTowth factor requirements was not necessarily linked to the
other; rather, the growth factor requirements were specifically associated with other
parameters of transformation. The reacquisition of a PDGF requirement cosegregated
with reversion to density-dependent growth inhibition, whereas reacquisition of a normal
insulin requirement cosegregated with reversion to a normal growth dependence on calf
serum. Anchorage dependence was dissociable from both growth factor requirements.
The relationship between the -PDt;F requirement and density-dependent growth
inhibition was further analyzed in normal 3T3 cells by ineasuring the PDGF requirement
at different cell densities. At high cell densities, the- requirement f or PDGF - became
significantly greater. We suggest that at least in part the ability of transformed cells to
grow to high saturation densities results from their loss of a requirement for PDGF.

PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES
AGAINST PHENOBARBITAL-INDUCIBLE C-TOCHROME P-450
Monoclonal antibodies against cytochrome -P-450 -were prepared from
phenobarbital-induced rat liver microsomes. The immunoglobulin classes and subclasses,
as well as the binding capacity to cytochrome P-450, of the different antibodies were
characterized. -- Their specificity- was verified by various techniques and seemed to
correspond to a- single form of cytochrome P-450, the ma-jar Dher.obarbitaf-indncible
form._ However, the= antibodies were unable to inhibit completely the monooxygenase
activities investigated.- These antibodies may constitute very specific and powerful
analytical tools for characterizing and quantifying cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes.

In rat liver, the perirtatal_ development ent of various monooxygenase activities follows
different patterns, depending upon the reaction studied. The ontogeny of tlte-6,8-, 7a-

-Aldrin epoxidase and steroid-metabolizing monooxygenases are expressed in
primary fetal rat liver cells in culture after- treatment in vitro - with dexamethasone.
Testosterone is not metabolized by the control cells and is hydroxylated on the 6,8 and 16a
positions following the addition of corticoids to the-culture medium. The dose and-time
-curves vary accordiflg-to Ahe hydroxylated position-of tlre-steroid. Aldrin epoxidase
activity is nearly undetectable in-the control cells but is-present and is inducible by -
phenobarbital following treatment with the corticoid. -Phenobarbital--induces= aldrin

CLONING AND STRUCTURE ANALYSIS OF 'I'IIE RAT
APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I cDNA
Apo!ipoprotein A-/, the major protein in mammalian high -density- lipoprotein, acts
as a cofaetor for lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase during the formation of cholesterol
ester and as such, is -thought to promote cholesteroi efflux from per ipheral cells- to the
liver. In this paper, the authors report the partial purification-0f rat- liver apolipoprotein
A-I mRNA by a polysome immunoadsorption=iechnislue and its cDNA cloning. Isolation
of two overlapping -cDNA clones enabled the researchers to derive the whoie- rat
apolipoprotein A-I eDNA coding sequence. Comparison of the-deduced protein sequence
with its human counterpar t reveals a striking homology between the prepropeptide
-precursors. Both mature protein amino-terminal regions are very homologous, suggesting
that this particular domain could be involved in lipid-protein binding or
lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase activation.

Synthesis of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor has been analyzed -in a

different amounts of EGF binding sites.- The amount of-_ EGF- receptor- ~rotei~,
quantitated by immunaaffini~y chromatography, and EGF recep:or mRNA, quantitated
by cDNA hybridization, were closely correlated to the extent of EGF receptor gene -
amplification. This correlation existed in variants selected for reduced EGF receptors
and in revertants from those varianu with increased EGF receptors. There was also a
~ correlation between the frequency of translocation of chromosome 7, containing the EG
-receptor gene, and EGF receptor protein. These results support gene amplification as the
mechanism enhancing A431 c_el': EGF receptor protein and determining growth responses.

Microfibrils are striated tubules that play a role in the formation of elastin fibers
by providing - a scaffold upon which newly -synthesized elastin is deposited.
Ultrastructural-a-nd staini ng studies also demonstrate microfibrils that terminate where
elastin is sparse or absent in basal laminae, plasma membranes, and the collage-nous
matrix. The most striking accumulation -of- microfibrils is ~ound in the zonule of Zinn,
.he transparent and elastic suspensory ligament of the -lens; which contains- ho- etastin.
Application of immunocytochemical=staining with a peroxidase-antiperoxidase (I'AP)
procedure demonstrates that fibronectin is associated with the microfibrils of the zunule
and aorta. Agg_regates-of microfibrils are identical to-_oxytalan-("acid enduring') fibers
that have been-describedt in peridontal membranes and other sites subject to mechanical
stress and they can be found in sites as disparate as the rabbit zonule, rat= hepatic stroma

BIOMARKER STUDIES-lcjl HEREDITARY OVARIAN CARCINOMA
Ovarian cancer has been increasing in-frequency during the past several decades,
particularly in Western industrialized nations. It has the ignominious distinction of being
the major cause of death from genitourinary cancer in women in the United States. A
smalt but significant fraction of patients- with ovarian cancer=have family histories that
are compatible with a primary genetic factor. The hereditary variant is heterogeneous
but these pedigrees reveat-a high predictability of cancer. Therefore, families that are
prone to ovarian cancer merit the highest priority for biomar k¢r investigations. When
considering the generally poor surveillance measures available to us for detecting ovarian
cancer sufficiently early to improve prognosis, the search for biomarkers of high
sensitivity and specificity assumes major significance. In turn, such biomarkers may
shed light -0n the etiology and pathogenesis- of ovarian cancer in the =general population
and more importantly provide mechanisms echanisms for early detection and prevention of death
from this tumor.

CANCER GENES, MULTIPLE PRIMARY CANCER, AND
VON HIPPEL-LINDAU DISEASE
Von Hippel-Lindau disease is inherited by an autosomal dominant gene that may
show marked expressive variability of cancer phenotype in certain patient/families. We
describe a patient with a strongly positive family history of this disease who at age 28 -
underwent craniotomy with removal of a cystic cerebellar hemangioblastoma; at age 48,
he- developed syringomyelia of the- spinal cord, became quadriplegic, and had -a
progressive downhill course. At autopsy, hemangioblastomas of the cerebellum and
spinal cord were found, as well as aieft renal cell carcinoma, an-oat cell carcinoma of
the lung, a-hepatocellular- carcinoma, and an atypical thyroid adenoma. This tumor
spectrum appears to be unique, although chance-canno2 be excluded. It is possible,
however, that these findings- might represent an expression of the deleterious genotype-
that became evident becau-se- of this patient's prolonged survival from his initial
cerebellar hemangioblastoma. -

PANCREATIC CARCINOMA-AND HE-REDITARY NONPOLYPOSIS COLORECTAL
CANCER. A FAMILY STUDY
- This paper describes a kindred with vertical transmission of cancer through 5
generations which showed features-of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC)
in concert with pancreatic cancer. -Tlte proband_ is a 55-year old white -dale with
verified pancreatic-carcinoma. This patient, and subsequently his= available -relatives,
fiiled out detailed - medical-genetic questionnaires. Their signed - per mission forms
enabled the authors tti-corrosorate family, medical, and cancer (all anatomic sites) history
through secured primary med: al and pathology documerus._ HNPCC is beconing more
frequently recognized ° than its dominantly inherited counterpart, familial multiple
polyposis coli (FPC),-a fac-t which has contributed to the recent increased interest in this
disease (Lynch et al, -1481 p. There are at least two forms of HNPCC: (9) hereditary
site-specific colonic-cancer, referred to as Lynch_syndotne 1; and (2) the Cancer Family
Syndrome, referred to as Lynch syndrome II (Boland and Troncale, 1984). In both
disorders, one finds multiple primary cancers of the colon with an excess of involvement
of the proximal colon. Lynch syndrome II includes cancer of other anatomic sites,
particularly the - endometrium and ovary and- possibly = the pancreas. Genetic
heterogeneity with respect to variation in tumor spectrum has become increasingly more
evident in HNPCC (Lynch et aI., 1982). -Neuroblastoma, a lesion more- characteristic of _
childhood, in the pseband's son at age 22 is puzzling. There is a need for more
biomarker and pedigeee studies with documentation of cancer of all anatomic sites in
HNPCC kindreds (Danes and Lynch, 1482 j.

FAMILIAL _MESOTI-EFLI3MA-: RbVIEW AND FAMILY STUDY
To- date, with few exceptions, primary attention to the etiology,- of- malignant
mesothelioma has been focused on environmental factors. = However, several repor ts of
familial aggregations of- mesothelioma strongly support the supoosition that host f actors,
in concert with -environmental- exposure, particularly asbestos,- may contribute
etiologically to an as yet unknown fraction of occurrences of this disease. However, in
evaluation of familial mesothelioma, -it is important to consider the possibility of
household exposure to asbestos. We report a family in which two brotherJ with

EFFECT OF HYDROXYL RADICAL SCAVENGING ON
ENDO T OXIN-L*1DUCEIi-LIJNG INJURY
- The release of oxygen radicals, in particular the hydroxyl radical, from sequestered
neutrophils produces acute lung injary_after a aumber of insults. Our purpose was to
determine whether hydr_axyl , radical OH is respo-nsible for the lung injury- from
endotoxin characterized by (i), pulmonary leukostasis. (2) increased thromboxane
production leading to pulmonary hypertension and hypoxia, and (3) increased protein
permeability. This ihypo;:resis was tested by infusion -of a selective Ohi sravenger,
dimethyl thiourea-(G.75 gm _kg), into unanesthetized sheep- before- end-otoxin"and
comparing the response to .nat-seen with endotoxin alone. Pulmonary vascular- integrity
was measured by the use of'hsng lymph floiv, Q~, lymph protein transport, Thromboxane -
A= was measured as TxB4, acd prostacyclin as 6-keto-PGF;1L. We found ng difference in
the degree of leukopehis_ and hypoxia after endotoxin or the levels of TxB
6-keto-PGFt~ and pul~pary lypertension with dimethyl- thiourea, compared with
endotoxin alone. The permeability injury was also iden,ical, with a two-fold to
three-fold increase in protein-rich lymph seen in both groups. It appears that OH- does
not play a major causative role in either phase of endotozin_lung injury.

PROSTAGLANDINS AND INTRACELL_U_LAR CYCLIC AMIrIN RESPIRATORY
SECRETORY CELLS
Prostsglandins- are known to affect ion trans_port and mucus secretion in the
trachea, and at least part of their effect is thought to be- mediated by cyclic AMP.
Because no prostagtandin ,receptor-assay is currently available, we have used an
immunocytochemical probe for t he intracellular ;ocalization of eyclic-AMP to identify
those specific cell types in dog and cat trachea_ that respond to prostagiandins. Using
tracheal explanrs- similar io those used by other investigators for in -vitro studies of ion
transport and glycoprotein secretion, we examined the effect of endogenous and
exogenous prostagianc3ins on immun3react-ive cyclic A?yiP. Endogenous prostaglandins,-
which may be secreted in response to minor distortion of tissue membranes, stimulated
immunoreactive cyclic AMP in ciliated epithelial cells and in both serous and mucous
submucosal gland cells. This was-not observed in tissues assayed 60 min after dissection
or dissected in the presence of indomethacin or of BW755C. Exogenous prostaglandin T
increased cyclic AMP in these same cell types. We conclude that prostaglandins stimulate
cyclic AMP in specific cell types in the trachea, and that endogenous prostaglandins play _
a major role in many in vitro preparations.

dogs made specific -IgE -antibodies in serum averaging-3 to- 4 times-that of control
animals (no immunizhtion with-pollen or-vaccine). 'I`hey-shoxed positive-skia responses
to the injection of ragweed pollen extract, whereas control dogs did not- respond to
ragweed- po!len by quantitative skin test or inhalation challenge. In immunized- dogs
under barbiturate anesthesia, air-flow_ resistance of the total respiratory system increased
from 0.60 ± 0.07 (mean ± SEM) before to 12.6 ± 3.4- cm I?EO(ips 5 mir_ after the start of
antigen_aerosol; respiratory resistance remained increased for 20 min and was associated
with hypoxemia -and increased arterial plasma histamine. _ In- addition, airway
responsiveness to both inhaled histamine and methacholine was greater in immunized
dogs than in ronima:unized- dogs of comparable age. Airway responses to each agonist
were- highly reproducible on repeated testing. T hese results- indicate that physiologic
responses to antigen-by inbred, ragseeed-sensitizQd dogs resemble human asthma closely
and that thes-e-dogs appear suitable for a variety of experimental studies of asthma with
respect to pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.

introduced cigarette smoke inio - the lungs of donor dogs and in jected arterial blood

also increased breathing and tracheal smooth muscle tension when in jected into the

central nervous system and in the airway parasympathetic ganglia inhibited the effects of
inhaled cigarette smoke and intravenous nicotine-on the respiratory center and- on
bronchomotor tones. The authors concluded that nicotine absorbed from cigarette smoke
is the main cause of cigarette smoke-induced bronchoconstricion. It caused central
sespiratory stimulation, resulting in increased breathing and airway smooth muscle
tension, and had a direct effect on airway parasympathetic ganglia as well.

IM~.I~lUNOLc`',GI_ C`',GI_C CHALLENGE AND EPITHELIAL ION TRANSPORT IN CANINE
TRACHEA
In this study the authors used measured changes in short-circuit current to reflect
ion transport across the canine tracheal epithelium and have shown that mediators
released from lung fragments by immunologic challenge stimulate ion transport in the
trachea. The presence of histamine irn the supernatants, although the concentration is too
low to account for the short-circuit current effect, indicates that mast cell degranulation
has occurred_ Particularly, the observation that the increase in short-circuit current can
be blocked by pretreatment of the epithelial tissue with the cyclooxygenase inhibitor
indomethacin suggests that the mediator effect on short-circuit current is indirect and= is
produced by activating the cyclooxygena-se pathway in the epithelium. - --

SEQUENCE OF PATHOLOGIC CHANGES IN THE AIRWAY MUCOSA OF GUINEA
PIGS DURING OZONE-INDUCED BRONCHIAL HYPERREACTIVIT-Y-
The authors assessed- the nature and progression of airway mucosal disease and
muscarinic bronchial reactivity in guinea pigs studied in groups of 4-_at 2h, 6h, 14h,- I day,
2 days,- or 4 days after ozone exposure (3.0 ppm for 2h), and in I control group.
Muscarinic reactivity was determined by measuring specific airway resistance as a
function of- increasing doses of intravenous acety!choline in 31 intact,- unanesthetized;
spontaneously breathing animals. After-testing, each group was killed to obtain tracheal
tissue for light microscopic examination. We found that airway hyperreactivity to
acetylcholine occurred in- 96% of the animals exposed to ozone. Its degree at 2h was
substantial. Complete remission- was not observed until the fourth day. In association
with the acute bronchial hyperreactivity found at 2h, a marked decrease in airway-
mucosal goblat cells and-an increase in mucosal mast cells occurred. Neutrophilic
infiltration occurred -later and lasted longer, despite- remission of the hyperreactivity.

-IND.7b`.ETHACIN INHIBITS THE AIRWAY HYPERRESPONSIVENESS BUT NOT
THE NEUTROPHIL INFLUX INDUCED BY OZONE IN DOGS
To determine whether oxygenation products of arachidonic acid may be involved
in the airway-hyperresponsiveness induced by ozone exposure, we studied-whether
6

ozone-induced hypanesponsiveness in dogs could be inhibited by the prostagiandin
synthetase inhibitor, ihdomethacin. Airway responsiveness was -assessed with
dose- response- curves of acetylcholine aerosol versus pulmonary resistance-in 2 sets of
experiments: in one set,-5 dogs-were given no indonFethacin treatment and were studied
both before at3d after ozone exposure (3.0 ppm, 2 h); in another set, the same dogs were
studied before indomethacin treatment or ozone exposure and then during treatment (:
mg/kg every 12 h for 4 days) both before and-ater ozone exposure. On each occasion,
we also determined the number of neutrophils in biopsies of the airway epithelium.
When the dogs were not treated with indonsethacin, _ozone caused a marked increase in
responsiveness to acetylcholine and a marked increase in the number of neutrophils in
the airway epithelium. When the dogs were given indomethacin, responsiveness was no
different during treatment than before treatment, but more importantly, responsiveness
did not increase significantly- after they_ were exposed to ozone. Interestingly,
indomethacin treatment did not affect either- the baseline- number of epithelial
neutrophils before ozone exposure or the increase in the number of neutrophils after
exposure. Th e results suggest that oxygenation products of`arachidonic acid that are
sensitive to inhibition by indomethacin play a role in ozone-induced hyperresponsiveness
without affecting the influx of neutrophils.

ANANTI-INFLAM1vtATORY DRUG (BaN755C)-INHIBITS AIRWAY
HYPERRESPONSIVENESS INDUCED BY OZONE IN DO:rS-_ -
- To follow up our previous observation that airway hyperresponsiveness induced by ozone is linked
to airway inflammation, we investigated the effect of =BW75SC, an
anti-inflammatory i]rug, on ozone-induced -hyperresponsiveness in dogs. Airway
responsiveness was assessed with dose-response curves of acetyichot'ane aerosol versus
pulmonary resistance- in two sets -of -experiments. In one set (placebo treatment), five
dogs were given only saline solution treatment and_ were studied before treatment- or
ozone exposure and then after treatment both before and after ozone (3.0 ppm, 2 hours);
in another set (BW753C treatment), the same dogs were studied before BW755C treatment
or ozone and then after-treatment (]0 mg/kg intravenously) both before and after ozone.
When the dogs were not given BW755C, ozone induced a marked increase in airway
responsiveness to- acetylcholine. When the dogs were given BW755C, responsiveness was
no different during treatmen: -than before- treatment but, -more importantly,
responsiveness did not increase significantly after ozone. It is concluded that DW755C
markedly inhibits ozone-induced airway hyperrespor.siveness in dogs, probably by
inhibiting the formation of oxygenation products of arachidonic acid.

PREDOMINANT GENERATION OF 15-LIPOXYGENASE Iv1E T ABOLITES OF-
ARACHIIK3NIC ACID BY EPITHELIAL CELLS FROM HUMAN TRACHEA
Epithelial cells of 99% purity and 9296 -yiability-weTe isolated from human tracheas
obtained post mortem, and the cellular pathways for lipoxygenation of arachidonic acid
were examined- in ri!rv. The lipoxygenase metabolites were identified by comparison -
with synthetic- standards during reversed-phase -and -straight-phase high pressure liquid
chromatography, t tY spectroscopy and -gas -chromatography/mass spectrometr y:
Epithelial cells--incubated without arachidonic acid failed to generate detectable quantities
of metabolites, while cells incubated with arachidonic acid at 1-50 µg/mf for -i-30 min
invariably generated - predominantly 15-lipoxygenase products-, - including
15-hydroxyicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE), four isomers of 8,15-dihydr-0xyicosatetraenoic
acid- (two -8, 15 diHETES and two 8,15-leukotrienes), at least one isomer of
14,15-dihydroxyicosatetraetroic acid, and smaller amounts of 12-HETE and 8-HETE,-but
little or no detectable 5-HETE or 5,i2-diHETEs: The capacity of epithelial cells from
human pulmonary airway to selectively generate l5-lipoxygenase metabolites of
arachidonic acid suggests a potential role for the products as mediators of airway
epitheiial function.

given to the-dog without carsing broachoconstriction (subthreshol; doses). We found= -
that airway responsiveness-_was not significantly different-during histamine treatment

than after saline; however, FesponsivenesE increased during treatment with PGF2Q. In
addition, the hyperresponsiveness induced by PGF. Q was prevented by pretreatment with
the ganglion blocking-drug_hexamethonium (5 mg/kg given intravenously). The results
_
show that PGF=a specifically increases the responsiveness of puimonary-airways in doses
that do not cause bronchoconstriction, and-suggest that the hyperresponsiveness involves
a neural mechanism such as increased responsweness of airway sensory nerves. _

AS VISUALIZED BY IMM`?NuELECT-r2ON MICROSCOPY
Recently, significant advances have been made in- characterizing _the pathway of
elastin biosynthesis from the biochemical point of view and- a 70,000 dalton protein,
designated tropoelastin, appears to be-the primary translation product and soluble
intermediate of the insoluble elastin. However, relatively little is known concerning the
intracellular-secretory pathway of tropoelastir.. We-previously-developed- an electron

-the Golgi apparatus,- and in vesicles forming on the trans sidf o the Go!gi. Some of
these smaller vesicles appeared to fuse, forming larger vesicles which may have a storage
function: Both types of vesicles were see : fusing _with the ce!I plasma- membrane,
suggesting that elastin is secreted by an exocytotic process. These results-suggest that
tropoelastin follows the c'_assical-pathway for -protein secretion.

CHARACTERIZATION C-F LIPOPROTEIN PARTICLES ISOLATED ATED BY
IMMUNOAFFINITY CHROMATOGRAPHY
Two populations -of A-I-containir.g - lipoprotein particles: A-I-containing
lipoprotein with A-II (Lp (A-I with A-Ii)), ano A-I containing -lipoprotein without A-II _
(Lp (A-I w.ithout A-II))_ have been isolated from plasma of 10 r.ormolipidemic subjects
byF immunoaffinity chromatography and -- characterized. Both types of particles
possess- a-electrophoretic mobility and - hydrated -density in -the range of plastna
high-density-lipoproteins (HDL). Lp (A-I without A-II) and Lp (A-I with A-H) are
heterogeneous in size. Lp (A-I without A-II) c9mprised two distinct -particle sizes with
mean apparent molecular weight and Stokes diameter of 3.01 x 106, and 10.8 nm for Lp
(A-I without-A-II)l, and-f.64_x 105, and 8.5 nm for Lp (A-I without A-II);. Lp_ (A-I
with A-Ii) usually contained particles at least three distinct- molecular sizes with mean
apparent molecular weight and Stokes diameter of 2.28 x 105 and 9.6 nm for Lp (A-I
with A-II)1, 1.80 x 10s and-8.9 nrtt for Lp (A-I with A-iI)2, and 1.25 x- 105 and 8.0 nm
for Lp (A-i with II)3. Apoproteins C, D and E, and lecithin_-cholesterol acyltransferase
(LCAT) were detected in both -Lp (A-I without A-II) and Lp (A-I with A-II) with most
of the apoprotein D, and E, and LCAT (EC 2.3.1.43) in Lp (A-I with A-ir) particles. Lp
(A-i without A-II) had slightiy higher lipid/protein ratio than Lp (A-I with A-II). L p
(A-i with A-Ii) had an A-I/A-II molar ratio of approximately 2:1. The percentage of-
plasma A-1 associated with Lp (A-I ~.vi3hout- A-L) was highly correlated with the
A-I/A-II ratio of-plasma (r = 0.96, n- 10). The variation in A-I/ A-II ratio of HDL
density subfractions therefore reflects different proportions of two discrete types of
particles: particlei containing A-I and A-Il in- a nearly constant ratio and particles
containing A-I but no A-IL Each type of particle is heterogeneous in size and in
apoprotein composition.

- PLATELET-DERIVED GROWTH FACTOR ANITMAL7t'iNANT TRANSFORMATION
Studies on human platelet-derived growth factor (P-D-GF) described in this--paper
represent the collective effort of several teams of investigators over the past-10 years.
These studies produced an abundance of information concerning the nature and structure-
of PDGF, its role in cell growth _and its diverse functions affecting cell- migration,
metabolic processes and receptor modulation. This work also led to an important
portan*.
discovery linking this potent mitogen to the transforming protein of the simian sarcoma
virus, providing a basis for the understanding of the processes involved in transformation
induced by the SSV onc gene. Specificially, the-findings described here provided the
missing link for the understanding of the=mechanism of cell transformation -induced-by
the-onc gene of the simian sarcoma virus. This onc gene,-v-sis, was shown to encode a
PDGF-like polypeptide which is a potent mitogen for fibroblasts, arterial-smooth muscle

(PDGF) showed that these -cells express and secreze_ proteins that- are recognized

-a 3l-kDa_polypeptide=with-struciural, immunological and biological properties simiiar to
those of human-PDGF-. These cell lines were shown to synthesize a 4.4-kb mRNA that
contained sequences from all the six currently identified exons of the-human c-sis gene.
These _ data suggest -that the PDGF-like - proteins in the -two mesench-yTie-derived
transformed cells are encoded at least in part by the c-sis locus.
In this report we describe the intraceHular _synthesis -of PDGF-like proteins in
cultures of human glioblastoma and fibrosarcoma cells and correlate the presence of these
proteins with a c-sis mRNA species transcribed by the human c-sis- locus. The
intracellular PD ;F-like proteins appear to be precursor and processed molecules of a
major secreted protein of 31 kDa that i3 structurally, immunologically _and functionally

THE TETRAPEPTIuE. ANALOGUE OF T H£ CELL ATTAC:NMENT SITE OF
FIBRONECTIN INHi3ITS_PLATELET AGGREGATION AND FIBRINOGEN
BINDING TO ACTIVATED PLATELETS-
Fibrinogen binding to receptors oa activated platelets is a prerequisite for platelet-
aggregation. Howeve.r-, the -regions of fibrinogen interacting with these receptors-have
not been comp!etely- characterized. Fibronectin also binds to platelet fibrinogen
receptors. Moreover,-*.he_amino acid sequence Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser, corresponding to the
cell- attachment site _-of fibronectin, is- located near=ihe carboxyl-terminal region of
the a-chain of fibrinogen. The researchers have-examined the ability of-this tetrapeptide
to inhibit platelet aggregation and fibrinoge n- binding to- activated platelets.
Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser, but not the peptide Aig-Gly-Tyr-Ser=Leu-Gly, - inhibited - platelet
aggregation stimulated by ADP, collagen, and 7-thrombi-is without inhibiting platelet
shape change or secretior,.- At a concentration of 60-80 µM, Arg-Gly-Asp=Ser inhibited-
the aggregation of ADP-stimulated gel-filtered platelets ft 50%. Arg- Gly-Asp-Ser, but
not Arg-Gly-Tyr-Ser-Leu-Gly, also inhibited fibrinogen binding- to -ADP-stimul_ated
platelets. This inhibition was competitive with a Ki of about 25 pM but was incomplete
even at higher tetrapeptide concentrations, indicating that Arg-Gty-Asp=Ser is a partiai
competitive inhibitor of fibrinogen binding. These data suggest that a region near the _
carboxyl-terminus of the a-chain of fibrinogen interacts with the fibrinogen receptor on-
activated - platelets. -_ The data also support - the concept that- the sequence
Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser has-been conserved for-use in a variety of cellula: adhesive processes.

CARDIAC3NOTROPIC RESPONSE OF A NEW #-I-AGONIST (TA-064) WITH LOW
SARC'OLEMMAI -ADENYLAT£ CYCLASE ACTIVATION
These experiments were concerned with an investigatior of the effect of a- new
selective P- I -adrenergic compound, TA-064, on the function of- purified sarcolem7nal-
vesicles prepared from perfused canine heart preparations. Special emphasis was placed
on the- effect of TA-064 on adenylate cy clase activity, on ATP-dependent Ca_'° uptake
and on phosphorylation of purified sarcolemma (SL). Per fusion was carried out in a
supported canine heart- preparation with a-perfluoiochemical (FC-43) as per-Cusate.
TA-064 (317 µg) was injected into the left atrium. As previously reported, this res-ulted
in - a marked positive inotropic and chronotropic effect which- was abolished by
propranolol. Purity of the SL -preparation was confirmed with marker er.zymes-for
mitochondria, sarcopfasmic- reticulum and -SL. In addition-, Na`Ca"-exchange
characteristic for SL was determined. Sidedness of the vesicles was ascertained by means
55
-11
l

of adenylate cyclase act°vity using SL _preparations with _ and svithour ala:nethicin.
TA-064s as compared -io 1=isoprctereno_l,- ezerted little effect on adenylate cyclase
activit~: -The addition of-TA-064 either to the perfused whole heart preparation or to
prepared SIL vesicles resulted in small eievations-of adenyiate cyclase activity -relative -to
1-isoproterenol. TA-064 increased ATP-dependent Ca' uptake and phosphor_ylation.
- The relative minor response of adenylate cyclase to TA-064 was apparently sufficient to
elevate both_ myocardial i~cntractility and phosphorylation and Ca'* dependent ATPase
activity. Therefore, TA-f3d4 belongs together with-prenaltero'-in a group of ,6-1=agonists
with full inotropic activity but relatively diminished capacity to activate adenyfate
cyclase. The pharmacologic and clinical implications of these findings were discussed.

preferred-substrate f2-factor XIa_is the_active form of HIvIWK--(I-1-MW_Ka) and not the
pro-cofactor. These data suggest that factor-XIa has the poten*.ial to act as a regulator of
eontact-activated coagulation by virtue of-its avility to destroy the cofactor function of
HMWK after its generation by either kaliikrein, factor Xlia, or to a iesser,extent, factor

Human antith-rombin III (ATIII) is a plas ;ia=inhibitor of several serine proteases o
the blood coagulation -Aystem. -Previous investigations have *eported-that the presence of
heparin has-a multif-otd accelerating effect on the inhibition of factor Xila and XIIf, the
active species derived from f ac_ ior -XII. -Recent studies from our laboratories have
-confirmed-that ATIII -inacteva,e3 factor X11a atrd-factor X;If, but- only contributes 2%-to
3% to the inhibition of activated factor XII species in plasma.- The ma;er inhibito is-C-I
inhibitor. _ThereforP, we have reeaamined_the heparin effect on the rate of- inhibition of
factor X11a and-factor XIIf irn purified-systems. We also- have studied the- effect cf
heparin on the itiactivation of both factor XII-deri;red active species by_ various plasmas.
Using purified factor X11a and kTIII, we found that heparin (0.7 to 34.0 LI-/mi.)
increased the rate of inhibition of factor XIIa.

factor-XII to a negatively charged surface where autoactivation occurs for form factor-
XIIa. The substrates -of factor XIIa, prekall;krein (PK) and factor XI. , exist in
bimolecular complexes with the contact -system procofactor, high - molecuiar weigFt

THE EFFECT OF HIGH MOLECULF.['c WEIGHT KININOCaEN ON -
SUItF'1aCE-Af3SOR$ED EIERINO: EA1
High m-oleculai 'weight ka:.inoger (HMWK) ?lays an important role in altering the
-:ssociation of plasma=iGrinoger, with surfaces. Plasma initially dmposits -fi6rinogen onto
most materials, but on hydrophilfic surfaces within !0 min adsorbed plasma fibrinogen
cannot be -detected= cB the surface by anti=;brinogen antisera. - However, using
HMWK-deficient plasma, fibrinogen remains immunologically identifiable. T:e-
inter-relationship of adsorbed plasma fibrinogen with kin.inogen, on-_hy3rophilic sLrf aces-
is studied further using glass slides stained for protein wit;~ Coomassie Blue, and cxidiz',d
silicon crystal slices in an automated ellipsometer. On glass slides when plasma - that is
deficient in both low molecular-weignt=»ininoge® (LMWK) and HMWK is reconstituted
- with HMWK (0.40 Units/ niI); fibrinogen is no ?onger- detected on-the surface. This -
f inding is specific for IiMWX;-sinee, when the same plasma is reconstituted with LMWK
(220 ug/m!), the amount of fibrinogen detected on the- surface is unchanged. Thee
alteration of_ surfac&adsorbed fibrinogen by-HMW;'K is_ not due to plasmin=induced
fibrinolysis, since it _cccurs-in plasminogen-free=plasma. In the eli'spso:r.eter, ,.eter, surface
adsorption of normal plasma is associated with- a significantly less (p <-0.C005) thick
- protein_ layer (LeiS _± t.0S _degr eE change in azimuth) than Wiasmas def icient in - HMWK
=_
(2.32 ±-0.11). Using-ellipson:etry, HMWK ;n plasma is-strown to shorten the -ti::e in
which irrimunologicaily detectable surf ace-adscrbed fibrinogen was remov¢r or altere?.
These s:udies in a whole plasma system present further evidence thae HMWK specifically =
-modifies thea.ssu;.iation of plasma fibrinogen with hydrophilic- surfaces.

CONTRIBUTION OF ACTIN TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE CYTOPLASMIC
_
MATRIX
The realization that actin is a constituent of naamuscle cells -(I) and the-
identification of actin filaments in the periphery of such cells (2) opened up a new world
of molecular biology. For the-first time, it became possible to explain in detail a body of
- phenomena described over two centuries-conceining important aspects of cell shape,
movement; and consistency. Although actin comprises only one of several intracellular _
-fiber systems of-cells,-lt is an extremely important one. This essay briefly reviews_some
present concepts of thesontribution of actin to the 'cytoplasmic enatriz." - -

NONMUSCLE ACTIN-BINDING PROTEINS _
Because the workings of actin-binding proteins depend upon the characteristics of
actin itself, the first section of this article summarizes current knowledge of actin
assembly. The ensuing -review of actin-binding proteins- classifies these proteins
according-to their functions, as has been done previously (Schliwa 19g1; Weeds _1982;
Craig & Pollard 1983; Stossel 1984). There are actin-binding proteins that tind
predominantly to actin-monomers ar,d-inhibit-their self-assembly into-filaments. Other
i,roteins bind to one or more actin monomers_ when they are in the form of filaments,
either to the ends of the- filaments or in some instances to monomers within the filament,
causing the filament to break. They then remain bound-to one end of the fractured
filament. Still other proteins bind simultaneously to actin monomers in different
filaments, which causeS the actin filaments to be cross-linked into_ particular
conformations relative -to one another. The word 'predominant' is very important here
because as work progresses on particular actin-binding proteins, their functions tend_ to
become less 'pure' and more- complex. This review emphasizes biochemical data
concerning the structural and functional properties of actin-binding proteins and their
interactions with-actin in vitro. Some effort is made, however, to speculate on how these
interactions might operate in vivo.

COAGULANT A'TIVITIES_OF PLATELETS IN_CORONARY
- -
ARTERY DISEASE
Platelets have been implicated in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease, and a
number of studies have examined platelet function and coagulation parameters in patients
with such disease. We have exantined platelet coagulant activities, volumes, and
aggregate ratios in 23_ patients with chest pain, seven of whom had normal coronary
angiograms (group 1) and 16 of whom had angiographically proven coronary artery
disease (Group II). There were no significant-differences in the mean values for platelet
volume or platelet aggregate ratios between een the two groups. The platelet roagulant=
activities concerned with initiation and the early stages- of intrinsic coagulation were-
significantly increased in patients in group 11 as compared with those in group 1.- No
I significant differences were -r.oted between the two groups with respect to prothrombin
i time, partial thrombopiastir time, and plasma levels' of fibrinogen and coagulation factors
V and VIII. However, the mean activity in plasma of antithrombin III (but not the level
of antithrombin III antigenj was significantly lower in patients of group II compared
with group 1. Overall, our observations provide evidence for an enhanced contribution to
the intrinsic coagulation system In patients with coronary artery disease. The platelet
coagulant hyperactivity not4d in these patients may reflect a role of platelets in the
pathogenesis of coronary artery disease or may be secondary to the underlying arterial
disease.

ACTIVATION OF COAGULATIDN_ FACTORS ON THE SURFACE
OF PLATELETS
Platelet physiology and coagulation biochemistry have traditionally been studied
and conceptualized as separate and distinct entities.- This -briet - summary of
platelet-coagulant protein - interactions presents an alternative viewpoint which
emphasizes the effects of platelets in coagulation and the effects of coagulation proteins
on platelet physiology. These interrelationships are so intimate and important that any
consideration of the hemostasis mechanism that fails to take them into account is
meaningless.

PLATELET COAGULANT ACTIVITIES IN DIABETES MELLITUS: EVIDENCE
FOR RELA'I7ONSHI_P-BETWEEN PLATELET COAGULANT HYPERACTIVITY
- AND PLATELET VOLUME
- Platelets have been shown to be-capable of initiatin g and promoting-some of the
reactions in intrinsic coagulation and have-been implicated ir:- the pathogenesis- of
vascular-lesions in diabetes mellitu-s. We have eza_mined-the contribution of olatelets-to
the coagulation reactions in 39- patients- having diabe?es mellitus with- and without
retinopathy [background retinopathy (BR) of proliferative retinopathy (PR)1: 18 patients
with nonvascular eye diseases (patient controls),-and 38-normal subjects, In comparison
with-control yatients;_significant elevations were noted in four-of the-five assays for
platelet coagulant ac.ia=ities in diabetic patients with- PR and in three of five assays in
patients with BR. Thus, platelet coagulant- hyperactivity is present in- diabetics with
retinopathy_ Significant elevations weie noted in two--of the assays in -patients without
retinopathy (NR), suggesting that plateltt-coagulant hyperactivity may not necessarily be
secondary to the vasculopathy. The predominant abnormalities noted were in- assays
reflecting_ the contribution of platelets to the early stages of intrinsic coagulation rather
than to later stages of prothrombin activation. in addition, the mean platelet volume was
found_to be significantly greater in patients with PR and=Bl'c but not NR than in normal
controls.- A positive_linear correlation (r = 0.81)-was-ncted between the ?nean of the
coagulant acti-vities-_and platelet volume - in- diabetic subjects, _ suggesting a hitherto
undescribed relations-hip between platelet coagulant activities and platelet volume.

THE POSSIBLE ROLE OF PI,ATELETS IN BYPASSING THE CON T-ACT PHASE
OF BLOOD COAGU°LATION-
- Data presented -herein and previously -support an active role for p-latelets in
promoting the interaction and activation of the coagulation proteins of the contact phase
of intrinsic coagulation. T-he-platelet membrane, activated by ADP collagen or thrombin,
can promote the proteolytic activation of factor XII to factor XIIa in the presence of
kallikrein and high molecular weight kininogen. The zy_m__ogern factor XI associates with
high molecular weigh kininogen in plasma and becomes bound to a site-on the membrane
of thrombin or collagen act;vated platelets. Thereafter, platelet bound factor XI can be
proteolytically activated to factor XIa either_in the presence of factor-XIIa or in the
presence of kallikrein. These observations could ezplain the absence of bleeding
complications in -patients with -factor XII deficiency. - In addition, platelets- contain a
molecule which has a higher molecular weight_than plasma factor XI and possibly consists -
~0
Gt

of a tetramer of four idantical subur:its of 52,000 daltons each of which is functionally
and immunologically similar to plasma factor XL Since this molecule is present in the
platelets of patients with-severe plasata-factoi XI deficiency and no evidence -0_f bleeding;
we postulate that platelet facto: Xl can substitute_ for plasma factor XI in hemostjsis and
-possibl,v_ account for the considerable variability in clinical severity observed in -patients
with factor XI deficiency.

ASSOCIATION OF FIBRIN W%TH-THE PLATELET CYTOSKELETON
The authors have -previous!y postulated that surf ace membrane proteins =become
specifically associated with-_the internal platelet cytoskeleton upon platelet activation.- -
Four lines of evidence support this general hypothesis since we now show that elateiet
surface receptors for _ fibria = become specifically- associated with the platelet-= _
Triton-insoluble cytoskeletons:. 1) -Fibrin was detected immunologically in the washed '
Triton-insoluble cytoskeietons`af= thrombin-activated platelets under conditions where
fibrin polymerization and resultant precipitation_were blocked with Gly--Pro-Arg-Pro,- a
synthetic peptide that_ inhibits pol-ymerization of fibr in monomer. 2) Radiolabeled-fibrin
bound to throia bin-activited= platelets and became associates3 with the cytoskeleton. 3)
The amount of radiolabeled fibrin bound to thrombin-activated- thrombasthenic plateiets-
and their cytoskeletons- amounted to about- 20% of the fibrin bound to
thrombin-activated control platelets and their cytoskeletons. 4) The association of fibrin
with cytoskeletons and with the platelet surface was nearly_quantitatively blocked by- an
I antibody prepared against cytoskeietons (anti-C), an antibody against isolated mentbranes
~-- of Pronase-treated platelets (anti-MI), and a monoclonal antibody to the platelet surface
giycoprotein complex, GPII4-GPIII-(anti-GPIII)- These antibodies blocked ADP and
thrombin-induced platelet aggregation as well as thrombin-in.iuced clot retraction:-
-Analysis of-the immunopreciRitatesobtained with-anti=C; Anti-M1; and a5ti v^-IJI from
detergent extract of ri9I-surface -labeled--piatelets- revealed that these antibodies
recognized GPIh-GPIII. These data suggest that thrombin activation of platelets res;:lts
in the specific association of fibrin- with the platelet cytoskeleton, that this association
may be mediated by the GPIib-GPIII complex, and that these mechanisms may play an
important role in platelet aggregation and clot reiraction-induced by thrombin.

AMIDOLYTIC ASSAY_ OF_ HUMAN FACTOR XI7N PL_ASMA: -
CO1vfPARIS Oh.' WI_TH A-COAGULANT ASSAY AND A NEW
RAPID RADIOIMMUNOASSAY
The traditional coagulant assay for plasma factor XI suffers from a relatively high
coefficient of variation, the need for rare congenitally deficient plasma, and a poor-
correlation between precision and se nsitivity. We have developed a simple functional
amidolytic assay = for factor XI - in plasma using the chromogenic -substrate
PyrGlu-Pro-Arg-p-nitroanalide -(S-2366). After inactivation of 01-antitrypsin, Cl
inhibitor, and other plasma protease inhibitors with CHC!s, plasma-was incubated with
kaolin, in the absence of added calcium, which iimited the enzymes formed to those
dependent on contact activation.. Soybean trypsin inhibitor was used to mimize the
action of kallikrein on- the substrate. Once the reaction was complete, co=n- trypsin
inhibitor was lssed-to -inactive factor Xlla, the enzyme generated by exposure of plasma
to negatively charged_surfa_ses which had activated the factor XI. The assay is highly
specific for factor Xl, since plasma total deficient in that zymogen-yie!ded only i%-3%
of the enzymatic activity in normal plasma under identical conditions. The requirements
for complete conversion of factor_XI to XIa in plasma within Fi0 min were, respectively,
factor XII, 0.6 U; ml. Preka!likrein was not an absolute requirement for complete
activation but diai~ccelerate-the reaction. The intraassay coefficient of variation was
3.4%, and the mean_ of 35 normal plasmas was 1.00 U ± 0.24 SD. _ In addition, a new rapid
radioimmunoassay was devised using staphylococcal protein P as the precipitating agent
for a complex of.factor XI-antigen with monospecific rabbit antibody. The mean was
1.01 U± 0.30 SD. The correlation c-0efficienu for- amidQlytic versus coagulant and
amidolytic versus,redioimmunoassay were _ =_ 0 Q5 for the former and 0.96 for the latter.
-Thus, a simple, accu_ ate- amidolytic assa-y_ ar,d a-radiounrsunoassay have been devised -for
measuring factor XI in plasma that correlate, well with the coagulant activity of factor
XI, as determined in our laboratory.

factor IX) as -well as_ with_ ~the-platetet snrface. To, help__ elucidate , these complex -

against the oligopeptide substrate pyro-Glu-Pro=Arg-pNA (5-2366), but only 3.08% of -its
clotting activity in a factor XIa assay and 1%-of its factor IX activating activity- in an
activation peptide release assay. -TF.is suggests that regions o:' the heavy chain are
required for development of _coagulant activity and specifically- for the interaction of
factor XIa with factor IX. To test this tiypothesis, the effects of three of the=monuclonal

show that in a clotting assay the light chain-specific antibody (51=4 j inhibits-I0i1% of thc

POTEN
MATION OF THE ACTIVITY OF COAGULATION .JLATION FACTOR XI BY HUMAN =
PLATELETS
The -presebt studies-demonstrate that when- washed-platelets or platelet membranes
are incubated with ;mrified_factor XI and the mixturesare assayed for factor XI activity,
a 20-fold potentiation of-coagular;t activity is observed. This synergism is dependent on
the presence of active -factor XI and intact platelet membranes since it is- abolished either
by- preincubation of -factor - XI with monospecific anti-factor XI antibody, or-- by
preincubation of platelet membranes-with phosphotipase C. - The saturable nature of the
potentiation of purified factor XI by platelet membranes suggests the possibility that it
represents a functional correlate of the saturable, specific binding of factor XI to

EFFECT_OF PROfTANQIDS ON THE :.=ORONARY=CIRCULATION-=
An accurate evahla_ ot. of the physiological and _ pathophy3ioiogicaL role of =
endogenous prostanoids iwthe human cor,r__ary_ sirculation has to- rely upon the join*.
results fromstudiPs usingdifferen, techniques._ In-the present paper some data-obtained in this
laboratory are presented, which are-aimed to elucidate-the physiological_ and
patnophysiological :nvolvement=of-endogenousprostanoicis -in the reguiation of_ coronary
blood-flow. -Futhermore, some data on the pharmacology of PGI2 in-patients--wish acute
myocardial infarction-(ALciI)_ are included. -Base_ d on the data-presented- here and on -the -_
considerations discussed it seems obvious that coronary prostanoid formation is -limited both in
hez-khy sub jecra ard in patients with IHD. This :s evidenced- both by the lack of --
detectable release of PGHz, the main coronary prostanoid formed, under -normaL -
conditions and under-physiologioal stimulation -o.`- coronary tlood-'low, as-.vell as under--
conditions- of=mat.ifest caidiac=ischaemia. On=the other hand, the lack of significant
release of PGL= is not due to a limited capacity to such- formation; as evident from_ the -
marked release-of 6-ke*.o-P_Gc,Q in patients subjected to- cardioplegia. _ Although the eata -_
presented here do nat support the concept of a significani role for co^ronary prostanoids _-
in- health and- disease the_:.-resuLw =presettted -on interaction -between adenosine : and
prostanoids in the regulation of forearm blood flow may be of significance also in the
coronary circulation, implying that prostanoids may play the role of -a- vasodilator
messenger which transfers the-signal to vascular _relazation-from the endothelium to t?:e

EFFECT OF MATEP..NAL NICOTINE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF SITES FOR
[3H]NICOTINE BINDINC'r IN THE FETAL BKAIN
The sites -for ['H]nicotine binding in fetal brains-- were examined after
administration of nicotine into pregnant rats. Administration of unl_abeled nicotine into
the pregnant- rats increased B.. values for the sites for tririared nicotine binding
without affecting Kd valui3-in the fetal brains. Treatment with this regimen, however,
did not show any significant change-in_ the sites for ['H]quinuclidinyl benzylate binding.
In addition, treatment with this regi:nen_ increased Bn~ values _ of the sites for
['H]nicotine binding-in the brains of pregnant rats. :r-Bungaro_toxin had no effect on the
sites for j?H]nicotine bind'ang.- It is inferred, therefore, that a similar response is elicited
by nicotine binding sites to administered nicotine in both the fetal and maternal brains.
Furthermore, a possible effect of nicotine in pregnant rats may be the facilitation of the
development of nicotine- acetylcholine receptors in the fetal brain.

VASvDILATItlN-IN CAT SUBN!ANr-~IBL7LAR SALIVARY GLAND
Parasympathetic nerve- stimulation of the submandibular salivary gland in the cat
caused salivary secretion, vasodilation and a corelease of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide
(VIP;-and pep:ide histidine isoleucine (PHI) immunoreactivities (IR) into t~e vtnous
effluent, as indicated by an increase-in output. The ratio between the released_ VIP-IR
and PHl-IR was close to 1:1. .r',~e!-perr.~xaticn-chromatograp hy of-plasma -from the
submandibular venou- eff!uent-indicated that the released VIP-1R acd PHI-IR were -very--
similar to- porcine VIP a?±d-PHI, respec:iveiy.- Atropine pretreatment enhanced_ output of
both VIP-IR-and Pl:l-?R during the parasysnpathetir-h-erve-stimulation to- a similar
extent f,about-5-fold, compared -tcr control stimulationE. T his increase could be due to an _
inhibitory presynaptic muscarinic receptor regulation of VIP and P:{l release. Since VIP
and PHI are present_ir the same postganglionic parasympathetic ner3es in the g'.and- and
both peptides have va;odilator activity, the present-data suggest that both 1~1P-and P'_i,
may- contribute to the atropine-resistant vasodilation seen- upon stirf?ulation of -the _
chorda-lingua nerve. T he parasympathetic control of salivary gland function may thus
involve- a- multimrssenger- system with the classical- transmitter acetylcholine and the

2. Ten days -after 6-GHDA pretreatment a 6i-a046 red.:otion_ of thR NA content
was observed in the_°right atrium of the heart; stellate ganglioh and spleen. The content
_
of NPY=iike -immunoreactivity (LI)-vvas reduced by about S0~ in_ fFi_e h~art, .arsd. was
unchanged in the sfslse.:-wlzile it i*:csased to 200% of co ntrol-_inthc sietlate ganglior..
Immunohistechemis*_ry showed a= pronounced ` loss of Ni' Y-_ arid tYrosineF.ydroxylase-
(TH)-immunoreactive (IR) nerves i:r-the heart but not in the spleen. Increased NPY-IR
was seen in axons and cell bodies of-the stellate ganglio n.
-_ 3. Reserpine pretreatnent (thres hold dose 0.5 mg X kg-') caused a dose- and
time-dependent reduction of the content of NPY-LI in the heart. A- maximal tiepietion -
of NPY-LI {abdut 80%) --vas obser ved 5 days -after reserpine. R eser pine- pretreatment
als~ reduced the co nter:t o.`- NFY LI in t:e spleen, wi:ile -,~o sign~--idant--changA was
observed in the ad-enai gl-asd or vas defrrns=- The levels o? NPY-L.i increased -ia the
stellate ganglion to about t-00% of oontrol-5 days after reserpine. Itnmunohistochemicai
analysis teveaied an altnov total loss -of NPY-1R nerve fibres- in the -hear t as well as
around blood vessels in the lung and skeletal -muscle. No detectable -changes yeere
observed in perivascular .NPY-IR nerves in the spleen, vas deferens or kidney. - TH-IR
nerves remained unchanged after reserpine. indicating that the observed loss of NPY-IR
nerves was due- to a depletion of NF Y and not a degeneration.
_
4. No change in the-levels of substance P-Li was observed in the right atrium 5
days after reserpine. -
-- 5- NA was, ia-contr2st to NPY, markedly depleted_i-r._ali tissues investigated -afte-r
reserpine treatment. The'.deple;icn-of -NA was more extensive, and occi:_rred more
rapidly anct at-much lower doses as cornpared to the effects on NPY-LI. - --
- 6: Ligations of the sciatic nerve revealed that NPY-LI was transpor-tel axonally
with a rapid rate (3-r-im/h;r. Reserpine pretreatment significantly inereased the-amcur,t
of accumulated NPY-iR above the ligation, suggesting-an increase in axonal transport.
-Z. High performance liquid chromatography revealed that the NPY-LI consis*.ed_o` _
two major peaks in the ste,late Ranglia, while only one peak closely corresponding to-
porcine NPY was seen in the right~triurrj:
g. In-conclusion, 6-OHDA pretreatment depletes NPY-LI in certain terminal
regions and incra..ases NPY-Ll -in ganglia. _-Reserpine =induces a tissue- and-
-dose-dependent depletion of NPY-LI in-certa-ir: terminal-areas, while corresponding cell
body content and axo.ml transport of the peptide seem to increase. -

NEUTROPEP'I:DE Y AND-SYMPATHETIC CONTROL OF HEART

- The effects of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on contractiity of the spontaneously beating
guinea-pig atrium - and- -transmural nerve stimulation (TNS)-induced -effiuz af
tritium-no_radrenaline (s:3-N-Aj were studied in vitro: -NPY induced a mlderate poa:tive
chronotropic and inotropic atrial response which was resistant to metroproiol. - TNA at 2
Hz for 2 s caused an increase in rate and contractile force. These -ef_fects were
_-
sigr:eficantly-reduced by NPY. NYP aiso-reduced the TNS-induced (2 H-z for -20 r),_
fractional [3I-I]*; Arelease by 40% without affecting the contractile response_ The
contractile effects of exogenous NA ott the guinea-pig atrium were_ not affected -by
NFY. _ NPY- caused a tong,lastir.g--increase in coronary perfusion pressure and= also, in
high doses, an inhibition-of-ventri=culaT contractility in the isolated, perfused -guinea-pig
heart. The perfusior, pressure increase- to NPY, which most likely reflects coronary
vasoconstriction, was resissant-to a- anti-,6-adrenoceptor blockade but se nsitive to- the
calciurn antagonist nifedipine. A 50% reduction cf the vascular hIPY response occurred
at 1Ce'° M--difedipir:e,-which did not influence-cardiac contractility per se- or the _
contr3ctile effects of _NA.-- NPY did not modify the increase-in ventricular contractility-
-induced by NA.- Noradrenaline did not influence- coronary -perfusion =pressure
- after fl-biockade_ Since-NPY is present together with NA in cardiac nerves,-it may -be-
suggested that NPY is in+olved in the regulation of NA release as well as the sympathetic
control of atrial contractility and coronary blood flow. -_

CAPSAICIN TREATMENT DECREASES TISSCIE-I.EVE;.S_ O_F-NE-`EIRC'K_INiN Ft-_
LIKE IM-M'ilNOREACTIVIT"Y /N T-tIE GUINEA TIf'i
The tachy'xinins are a-family of naturally occurrir.g bioactive peptides which share
a similar C-te_rminal sequence of amino acid residues and have similar biological
activities. Until recently, substance- P (SP) was-thz only tachykinin known to occur in
mammalian species: = Substance P-like i.-nmunoreactiv-ity (SPLI) has been found in the
central nervous system-and- in sensory- neurons innervating many peripheral organs.
Now; in additiom to SP,- mammalian tissues_havx -been found-to contain- tac!:ykinins-_-
relaced to kassinirrand SP; neurokinin A(NK_ (NKA) and neu-rokinin-B WK_B). The-purpas
of the present study was to investigate whether pretreatment with capsaicin also _-
decreases the-concernra*ion of mamma!ia.n tachykinins other than SP in-some peripheral -
organs. The results prese nted here ir.dicate-that capsaie:in pretreatment depletes certain
tissues of tachykinins other than SP. As has previously been shown for SP, the largest
relative d-,r!etions_wer=e found-ir the tissues c4ntainir,g:a high density of primary sensory -
afferents (ureters; urinao-y bladder. These results indicate a close relationship between SP-
-
and other mammalian tachykinins such as NKA and NKB, not only-in -terms of similar
tissue distribution, but also=in terms of similar reactions to -c3psaicin,-suggesting that
NKA and NKB are additionai peptides of sensory origin. It is-therefore interesting that
NKA, but not NKB; has a very potent broncho-constrictor_ action and causes protein
extravasation in the tissues, where acute ad:ninistratioa of capsaicin reduced the
nettrokinin concentrations. Neuro!cinin A may therefore contribute, together with SP, to -
the neurogenic inflammatory-response. - -

PRE- AND PDSTItFNCTIONA"L- EFFECTS OF NPY-ON SYMPATHETIC
CONT?ROL-OF RAT FEMORAL ARTERY
Netiropeptide-Y (NPY,I-like immunoreactivity-(LI) has recently been demonstra?ed
in -periva-scu:ar,= noradrenergic (NA), sympathetic neurons. - NPY is a potent
vasoconstrictor agent in vivo while the contractile effects of NPY on isolated blood
vessels are variable. For this=study; therefore, the authors have ar.alyz9d possible -pre-
and-postjustctiot+.ai effects of NPY in relation to noradrenergic mechanisms in the rat
femoral artery. 'he data presented in this paper -show that, except for the
vasoconstrictor activity per se, N=FY-enhar.ces the contractile effects of NA on arterial
vascuiar-sraooth musvle. _`I'hz-NPY effect may be related ta changes ir:--the influx of
extracel;uiar-calcium, -since it was absent after -nifedipine: The contractile response to
transmurai nerve stimuiation iTNS; was also increased somewhat by_I`IP3. However, in
--- the present study, NPY in-the same co:cc-ntration caused a ma: ked-(abou! 50%) reduction
of TNS-evoked ':T=INA efflux. Thus, it is striking that a marked _depress;on-_of
stimulus-evoked 3H-NA secretion can occur simuitatteously- with an enhanced -vascular
smooth muscle-contraction.- This indicates that postjunctionalcontracti!e-and facilitatory
mechanisms of NPY have a more profound effect on sympathetic neeer-otrar.smission than
a SO'96 reduction of NA release: T hus, NPY may have an important role in -thE regulatinn
of sympathetic vascular cor,trol.-

suppressed by actir,orr.ycin D (AD). When CD was washed f rorn ce!ls -which had_ been

ca 4 h, as rheactin-co^tai::ing c3toskeleeal components rea=ranged-Ey CD recovered their
normal morphology. Subsequently, actin synttiesis was depressed below control valuzs
-for a prolonged perioy; during recovery from 2 h treatment with CD, this depression_ was
of much- shorter dura.ion. Ke-addition of CD to cells after a-3h recovery pe: iod= again

exhibiteda twofold slow¢r decline-in the rate of actin synthesis during recovery=from CD
in the -continued presence of cycloheximide. These effects of cyc:oheximide; which
resemble observatlons on 'sun9r-induction,'-suggest -that actin synthesis in- CD-treated
-and reoveri$g !iEp-2 cells may be regulated by a repressor protein. -The possibiiify that
the proposed repressor protein is actin and that actin may thus be-a feedback inhibitor -of-
its own synthesis is discussed.

Membrar e-earfessioc of Ia mTlecules by antigen-presen,ing cells is critical_ for the
induction of T cell-response3-tF2-forcign protein an[igens. In addition, antigen-specific T
cell proliferation ha;=been thought to be dependent on interleukin I(Ii. I) secretion by
antig_en-presenting cells.- Iteceatly, xe have described a$ovel_ membrane-bound form of
IL- 1 that is required for -the presentation of- antigen by antigen-pulsed, fixed
macrophages. _ Membrane IL I is a mitogenic protein found on the macrophage
membrane that, like`soluble IL -1, stimulates thymocytes and-iL i-dependent T cells but
no'- IL 2-dependgtit=T cell- lines. This activity is ir:hibited by a-polyclonai anti-fL 1
antibody. -Membrane-IL I is an integral membrane protein-and does not represent soluble
IL I nonspecifically bound or tized to the macrophage membrane. Additional
biochemical-studi=_s are reqcvred-to defit-e -the possible interrelationships- between soluble
and membrane IL 1.
