inhibition of growth and guanylate cyclase activity of an undifferentiated prostate adenocarcinoma by an extract of the balsam pear (momordica charantia abbreviata).we have recently described the presence of a guanylate cyclase gtp pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), ec 4.6.1.2 inhibitor (gci) in an aqueous extract of the balsam pear (momordica charantia abbreviata). because the guanylate cyclase-cyclic gmp system is though to be involved in cell growth, dna and rna synthesis, and possible malignant transformation, we examined the effect of the aqueous extract containing gci on an undifferentiated adenocarcinoma of the rat prostate and concanavalin-a-stimulate ...197824847
long-term cultivation of plasma cell leukemia cells and autologous lymphoblasts (lcl) in vitro: a comparative study.two long-term cell lines were established in vitro from the peripheral blood of a patient with plasma cell leukemia: one line with plasma cell proliferation, the other with lymphoblastoid cell proliferation (lcl). the 9-month-old plasma cell line showed the typical morphology of plasmoblasts. the cells neither had b- nor t-lymphocyte characterisitics, were ebv negative, and showed aneuploidy with various marker chromosomes, including the 14 q+ marker. the cytogenetic findings indicate a monoclon ...1978207377
14c-dopamine microinjected into the brain-stem of the rat: dispersion kinetics, site content and functional dose.a morphological analysis was undertaken of both the dispersion characteristics and tissue content of dopamine (da) microinjected acutely into the brain-stem of the anesthetized rat. 14c-da, with a specific activity of 56-62 mci/mmol, was infused unilaterally into the pars compacta of the substantia nigra in one of four test volumes: 0.5, 1.0, 4.0 or 8.0 microliters. the concentration of the 14c-da solution was 1.0 microci/microliter, equivalent to 3.01 micrograms/microliters, which was delivered ...1978318183
sexual conjugation in yeast. cell surface changes in response to the action of mating hormones.in the yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae, sexual conjugation between haploid cells of opposite mating type results in the formation of a diploid zygote. when treated with fluorescently labeled concanavalin a, a zygote stains nonuniformly, with the greatest fluorescence occurring at the conjugation bridge between the two haploid parents. in the mating mixture, unconjugated haploid cells often elongate to pear-shaped forms ("shmoos") which likewise exhibit asymmetric staining with the most intense fl ...1979379012
[the human dental pulp as viewed through a scanning electron microscope (author's transl)].the human dental pulp was examined using a scanning electron microscope. the odontoblasts are pear-shaped and have a fine-grain surface structure. tomes' process divides into fine branches before entering the predentin. very few fibroblasts were found. these had stronger cell processes at the two terminal poles. adhering to their surfaces were fine fibers. collagenous and nerve fibers could not be accurately identified in the rich fibrillary network of the pulp. stronger nerve fasciculi were rea ...1979157024
ultrastructural changes in the cell walls of ripening apple and pear fruit.ultrastructural changes in the cell walls of "calville de san sauveur" apples (malus sylvestris mill) and "spadona" pear (pyrus communis l.) fruit were followed during ripening. in apple, structural alterations in cell walls became apparent at advanced stages of softening and showed predominantly dissolution of the middle lamella. in pears softening was also associated with the dissolution of the middle lamella, and in addition a gradual disintegration of fibrillar material throughout the cell w ...197916660931
polyribosomes from pear fruit: changes during ripening and senescence.polysome profiles were examined from lyophilized peel tissue of ripening pear (pyrus communis, l. var. passe-crassane). messenger rna chains bearing up to eight ribosomes (octamers) were resolved and exhibited the highest absorption peak when ribonuclease activity was eliminated during extraction. neither normal ripening nor the increase of large polyribosomes that normally accompanies ripening and senescence of the fruit occurred when pretreatment at 0 c was omitted. normal ripening and increas ...197916661101
senescence of pear fruit cells cultured in a continuously renewed, auxin-deprived medium.auxins and cytokinins support cell division in tissue and cell cultures. in cytokinin-independent pear (pyrus communis) cells, omission of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-d) from the medium for two successive transfers leads to rapid cell lysis, unless the osmolarity is raised to 0.4 molar with mannitol. use of this system (nutrients plus mannitol minus 2,4-d) for the study of cell senescence was explored both in batch culture and in a system designed to permit medium renewal without withdra ...197916661060
pear malic enzyme: some physical and immunochemical properties.some physical and immunochemical characteristics of nadp malic enzyme from climacteric pear (pyrus communis l. var passe-crassane) are described. the enzyme which has a molecular weight of about 224 000 d and a sedimentation coefficient of about 9.6 s, is formed by the association of four sub-units. we were not able to isolate isozymes by electrophoresis or by immunochemistry.1979115065

cell wall metabolism in ripening fruit: ii. changes in carbohydrate-degrading enzymes in ripening ;bartlett' pears.mature ;bartlett' pear (pyrus communis) fruits were ripened at 20 c. fruits at different stages of ripeness were homogenized, and extracts of the low speed pellet (crude cell wall) were prepared. these extracts contained polygalacturonase, pectin esterase, and activity against seven p-nitrophenyl glycoside substrates. polygalacturonase, alpha-galactosidase, and alpha-mannosidase increased in activity as the fruit ripened. cellulase and activities against pear wall xylan and arabinan were absent ...198016661276
cell wall metabolism in ripening fruit: i. cell wall changes in ripening ;bartlett' pears.;bartlett' pear (pyrus communis) fruits were picked at the mature, green stage and ripened at 20 c. fruits at different stages of ripeness (based on flesh firmness) were homogenized, and the sugar and uronic acid contents of cell wall and soluble polysaccharides were determined. substantial amounts of galacturonic acid and arabinose were lost from the wall fraction as the fruit ripened. most of this cell wall material was recovered, in an 80% (volume/volume) ethanol-insoluble form, from the solu ...198016661275
effects of aminoethoxyvinylglycine and countereffects of ethylene on ripening of bartlett pear fruits.pear fruits (pyrus communis l. var. bartlett) were treated with solutions containing aminoethoxyvinylglycine (avg) using a modified vacuum infiltration method that introduced 4.3 milliliters solution per 100 grams tissue. at concentrations of 1 millimolar, avg strongly inhibited ethylene production and delayed for 5 days the respiratory climacteric and accompanying ripening changes in skin color and flesh firmness. avg was less effective in inhibiting the ripening of more mature fruits. fruit in ...198016661193
[spontaneous osteolysis of the carpus (gorham syndrome?)].osteolysis following trauma (vanishing bone) is well known. its appearance is not typical to any special anatomical site. a massive osteolysis of the carpus was described by gorham in 1955. in subsequent years this type of osteolysis was found together with progressive nephropathy. the author presents a case of exclusively carpal osteolysis without initial trauma, not accompanied by nephropathy, starting out at the age of six. the carpal bones were completely destroyed by the age of eleven.19807250806
pleiotropic mutations at the tup1 locus that affect the expression of mating-type-dependent functions in saccharomyces cerevisiae.the umr7-1 mutation, previously identified in a set of mutants that had been selected for defective uv-induced mutagenesis at can1, affects other cellular functions, including many of those regulated by the mating-type locus (mat) in heterothallic saccharomyces cerevisiae. the recessive umr7-1 allele, mapping approximately 20 cm distal to thr4 on chromosome iii, causes clumpy growth in both a and alpha cells and has no apparent effect on a mating functions. however, alpha umr7 meiotic segregants ...198017249022
