Cold nerve injury is enhanced by intermittent cooling

Clinically nonfreezing cold nerve injury (NFCNI) is often preceded by fluctuating ambient temperatures. To simulate this we exposed the sciatic nerve of Wistar rats to intermittent cooling and rewarming. This paradigm was contrasted with one in which the sciatic nerve was continuously cooled. Despite an identical duration and degree of sciatic nerve cooling in both experiments, the pathology, as assessed neurophysiologically and morphologically, was much more severe when the nerve was intermittently cooled. It is likely that this exaggerated pathology is a result of repeated reperfusion injury. These experimental results suggest the need for a trial of free radical scavengers or antioxidants in models of NFCNI.

Immunohistochemical localization of dopamine-beta-hydroxylase in human and monkey eyes

PURPOSE: To investigate the pattern of dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH)-containing fibers in human and monkey eyes. METHODS: DBH-containing fibers were detected by immunohistochemistry. The primary antibody used recognized DBH, the key enzyme in the conversion of dopamine to noradrenaline. RESULTS: In the anterior segment, DBH immunoreaction product was found in the peripheral corneal endothelium layer, in both the dilator and sphincter muscles of the iris, as well as in the anterior border layer of the iris. The ciliary muscle and the stroma of the ciliary processes were also zones of concentration. In the posterior segment, staining was seen around blood vessels in the choroid, in the vascular walls of the short posterior ciliary arteries and in the ciliary nerves. The retina was also immunopositive, with specific labeling in cones and rods of photoreceptors, inner and outer plexiform layers and ganglion cell layer. There was no significant difference in the distribution of DBH-related immunoreactivity in human and monkey eyes. CONCLUSIONS: The localization of DBH-related immunoreactivity is generally consistent with the known physiological roles of noradrenaline. However, an apparently high concentration of the enzyme in the anterior border layer of the iris and in retinal photoreceptors raises questions about the possible role of DBH-containing fibers in these structures.

Interleukin-12 enhances the sensitivity of human osteosarcoma cells to 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide by a mechanism involving the Fas/Fas-ligand pathway.

Cyclophosphamide (CY) and its derivative ifosfamide are alkylating agents used to treat osteosarcoma (OS). The purpose of these studies was to determine whether alkylating agents affect the expression of Fas ligand (FasL) and whether interleukin 12 enhances the sensitivity of human OS cells to alkylating agents. 4-Hydroperoxycyclophosphamide (4-HC), the preactivated CY compound, and 4-hydroperoxydidechlorocloclophosphamide (4-HDC), its nonalkylating analogue, human OS LM6 cells, and a clone of cells derived by transfection with the interleukin 12 gene (LM6-#6) were used for these studies. Incubation of LM6 and LM6-#6 with 10 micro M 4-HC increased the expression of FasL mRNA (2.5- and 3.0-fold, respectively). By contrast, 4-HDC, Adriamycin (ADR), cisplatin (CDP), and methotrexate (MTX) had no effect on FasL mRNA expression. Increased FasL expression after treatment with 4-HC was also demonstrated by immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. Drug-induced FasL was functional and mediated cell death. We examined the effect of FasL up-regulation by 4-HC on LM6 and LM6-#6 cells. Flow cytometry showed that LM6-#6 cells expressed 2.2-fold more Fas than LM6 cells. Cytotoxicity of 4-HC, 4-HDC, ADR, CDP, and MTX on LM6, LM6-neo, and LM6-#6 were quantified. Colony-forming assay revealed an IC(50) of 2.10 micro M for 4-HC in LM6-neo cells compared with 0.41 micro M in LM6-#6 cells. The IC(50) for 4-HDC, ADR, CDP, and MTX were not significantly different between the two cell lines. We concluded that the increased expression of Fas enhanced LM6-#6 sensitivity to 4-HC. These data indicate that Fas/FasL may be involved in the cytotoxic pathway of CY. Combining biological agents with chemotherapeutic agents that have complementary Fas/FasL pathway actions may offer new therapeutic alternatives.
