Synaptic connectivity of two types of recoverin-labeled cone bipolar cells and glutamic acid decarboxylase immunoreactive amacrine cells in the inner plexiform layer of the rat retina.

We investigated the synaptic connectivity of two populations of recoverin-labeled bipolar cells and GABAergic neurons in the inner plexiform layer (IPL) of the rat retina. Two types of cone bipolar cells, type 2 and type 8, were stained with anti-recoverin antibodies, and GABAergic neurons were stained with anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibodies. Type 2 cone bipolar axons received synaptic input from amacrine cell processes in 177 cases; among these amacrine cell processes, 92 processes (52.0%) were GAD-like immunoreactive. A total of 159 amacrine cell processes, which are presynaptic to type 8 cone bipolar cells, were observed. Among these processes, 117 processes (73.6%) were GAD-like immunoreactive. The postsynaptic elements at the ribbon synapses of recoverin-labeled cone bipolar cells were observed in 482 processes. In both type 2 and type 8 cone bipolar cells, the major output was to amacrine cell processes. At the ribbon synapses of the type 2 cone bipolar cells, 224 of the postsynaptic profiles were amacrine cell processes, 97 processes (43.3%) were GAD-like immunoreactive. In type 8 cone bipolar cells, 45 processes (30.2%) of 149 amacrine cell processes were GAD-like immunoreactive. Our results provide morphological evidence that GABA is a major transmitter involved in the visual processing of type 2 and 8 cone bipolar cells and GABA may have a stronger influence on type 8 cone bipolar cells than type 2 cone bipolar cells in the IPL of the rat retina.     

The effect of mitomycin C after long-term storage on human Tenon's fibroblast proliferation.

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of mitomycin C (MMC) after long-term storage on proliferation of human Tenon's fibroblasts in vitro. METHODS: Human Tenon's fibroblasts in tissue culture were exposed for 5 minutes to MMC (0.4 mg/mL) that was either freshly prepared or had been stored for as long as 18 months at either 4 degrees C or -20 degrees C. The MTT colorimetric assay was used to determine the inhibition of proliferation as measured indirectly by mitochondrial activity. RESULTS: The inhibition rate was 88% using fresh MMC, and declined to a mean of 73% when using MMC that had been stored for as long as 18 months at 4 degrees C; this decrease was not statistically significant. The mean inhibition for MMC stored at -20 degrees C was 68%, and this was significantly less than inhibition with fresh MMC. Inhibition did not vary significantly with MMC after different storage times. CONCLUSION: Mitomycin C continues to have strong in vitro antiproliferative effects when stored for as long as 18 months at 4 degrees C or -20 degrees C. A significant decline in potency compared with fresh MMC occurs when MMC is stored at -20 degrees C.     

Immunohistological localisation of vascular endothelial growth factor in human endometrium.

Several polypeptide growth factors regulate epithelial and stromal development in endometrium under the influence of estrogen and progesterone, and thereby regulate growth and differentiation of endometrium during menstrual cycle. However, little is known about the angiogenic growth factors that may affect endometrial vasculature throughout each menstrual cycle. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is suggestively an important angiogenic growth factor in the female reproductive tract. The aim of the present study was to immunolocalize and assess semi-quantitatively VEGF immunostaining in cells of proliferative phase (n = 3), secretory phase (n = 6) and hyperplastic (n = 6) human endometrial samples. VEGF concentrations were significantly higher in glandular (P < 0.001) and stromal (P < 0.01) compartments of proliferative stage endometrium compared with those in secretory stage and hyperplastic endometrial samples, with no difference in the scores for glandular and stromal compartments between secretory stage and hyperplastic endometrial samples. Generally, glandular expression of VEGF was higher as compared to stromal compartment. Thus, it appears that endometrial VEGF expression and concentration are enhanced by estrogen, and may be correlated with neovascularization and increased vascular permeability during late proliferative period. Additionally, there was no enhancement in VEGF expression in hyperplastic glands, suggesting that regulation of glandular growth and that of angiogenesis in human endometrium operate through different mechanisms.     

Antagonism of paraoxon intoxication by recombinant phosphotriesterase encapsulated within sterically stabilized liposomes

This investigation effort is focused on increasing organophosphate (OP) degradation by phosphotriesterase to antagonize OP intoxication. For these studies, sterically stabilized liposomes encapsulating recombinant phosphotriesterase were employed. This enzyme was obtained from Flavobacterium sp. and was expressed in Escherichia coli. It has a broad substrate specificity, which includes parathion, paraoxon, soman, sarin, diisopropylfluorophosphate, and other organophosphorous compounds. Paraoxon is rapidly hydrolyzed by phosphotriesterase to the less toxic 4-nitrophenol and diethylphosphate. This enzyme was isolated and purified over 1600-fold and subsequently encapsulated within sterically stabilized liposomes (SL). The properties of this encapsulated phosphotriesterase were investigated. When these liposomes containing phosphotriesterase were incubated with paraoxon, it readily degraded the paraoxon. Hydrolysis of paraoxon did not occur when these sterically stabilized liposomes contained no phosphotriesterase. These sterically stabilized liposomes (SL) containing phosphotriesterases (SL)* were employed as a carrier model to antagonize the toxic effects of paraoxon by hydrolyzing it to the less toxic 4-nitrophenol and diethylphosphate. This enzyme-SL complex (SL)* was administered intravenously to mice either alone or in combination with pralidoxime (2-PAM) and/or atropine intraperitoneally. These results indicate that this carrier model system provides a striking enhanced protective effects against the lethal effects of paraoxon. Moreover when these carrier liposomes were administered with 2-PAM and/or atropine, a dramatic enhanced protection was observed.
