Immuno- and phagocytosis-modulating properties of low doses of B1-aflatoxin and benzene

Benzene or benzene-dissolved B₁-aflatoxin in low doses promotes an increase of the Thy-1⁺ cell count in the bone marrow of mice and an enhancement of the thymusdependent immune response.In vitro aflatoxin and benzene are unable to induce the expression of Thy-1-antigen in bone marrow T-precursors.

Enhancement of liver cell proliferation by GM3 ganglioside

In experiments on rats subjected to partial hepatectomy and experimentally induced hepatitis it is shown that GM₃ ganglioside of equine erythrocytes can enhance liver cell proliferation. The effect was also observed in experiments on a primary hepatocyte culturein vitro; moreover, enhancement of cell proliferation did not depend on the type of sialic acid residues.

Effects of muscarine agonists and antagonists on vasopressin-stimulated water transport in the amphibian bladder

The effects of M₁ and M₂ cholinoceptors on stimulated water transport in the urinary bladder of the common frogRana temporaria L. are described. In the presence of pirenzepine, a selective M₁ cholinoceptor antagonist, carbachol stimulated water transport. Activation of M₂ cholinoceptors by oxotremorine in concentrations of 0.5–5.0 μM inhibited water transport, whereas their activation by this compound in higher concentrations (10–100 μM) stimulated it. The use of the phospholipase C inhibitor neomycin (0.5 mM) and the calmodulin inhibitor W-7 (1 mM) indicated that activation of M₂ cholinoceptors switches on phospholipid-Ca²⁺-calmodulin-dependent mechanisms.

Participation of methylcobalamin inin vitro DNA methylation

Two DNA-methylases from nuclei of rat liver are compared for their ability to methylate thymic DNA in the presence of methyl group donors, radiolabeled³H-S-adenosyl-L-methionine and methylcobalamin. DNA-methylase with an isoelectric point of 5.2 is found, which uses both donors of methyl groups although its activity is more expressed with³H-S-adenosyl-L-methionine.³H-S-adenosyl-L-methionine and methylcobalamin presumably interact with different sites of the enzyme.
