Abstract
The regulation of protein phosphorylation by sphingosine in A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells was examined. Sphingosine is a competitive inhibitor of phorbol ester binding to protein kinase C (Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme) and potently inhibits phosphotransferase activity in vitro. Addition of sphingosine to intact A431 cells caused an inhibition of the phorbol ester-stimulated phosphorylation of two protein kinase C substrates, epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor threonine 654 and transferrin receptor serine 24. We conclude that sphingosine inhibits the activity of protein kinase C in intact A431 cells. However, further experiments demonstrated that sphingosine-treatment of A431 cells resulted in the regulation of the EGF receptor by a mechanism that was independent of protein kinase C. First, sphingosine caused an increase in the threonine phosphorylation of the EGF receptor on a unique tryptic peptide. Second, sphingosine caused an increase in the affinity of the EGF receptor in A431 and in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing wild-type (Thr654) and mutated (Ala654) EGF receptors. Sphingosine was also observed to cause an increase in the number of EGF-binding sites expressed at the surface of A431 cells. Examination of the time course of sphingosine action demonstrated that the effects on EGF binding were rapid (maximal at 2 mins) and were observed prior to the stimulation of receptor phosphorylation (maximal at 20 mins). We conclude that sphingosine is a potently bioactive molecule that modulates cellular functions by: 1) inhibiting protein kinase C; 2) stimulating a protein kinase C-independent pathway of protein phosphorylation; and 3) increasing the affinity and number of cell surface EGF receptors.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor alpha bind to a common receptor at the cell surface. Both the affinity and the tyrosine protein kinase activity of the receptor are regulated by exogenous factors, such as platelet-derived growth factor. A protein kinase C-dependent (Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme) and independent regulatory mechanism have been described. The protein kinase C-dependent mechanism results in the inhibition of the affinity and tyrosine kinase activity of the EGF receptor. We describe in this report an alternative mechanism of regulation of the receptor that is mediated by sphingosine. Treatment of WI-38 human fetal lung fibroblasts with 5 microM sphingosine for 2 min at 37 degrees C caused a marked increase in the affinity of the EGF receptor. Similar results were obtained when isolated plasma membranes prepared from these cells were incubated with sphingosine. A stimulation of the EGF receptor tyrosine protein kinase activity was also observed after sphingosine-treatment of plasma membranes. Sphingosine caused a decrease in the Km for ATP and an increase in the Vmax for the tyrosine phosphorylation of a synthetic peptide substrate. Control experiments demonstrated that these actions of sphingosine were not secondary to the inhibition of protein kinase C. These data indicate that sphingosine causes the functional conversion of the EGF receptor into an activated state that expresses both a high affinity for EGF and an increased tyrosine kinase activity. We conclude that sphingosine is a bioactive molecule in human fibroblasts.

Abstract
Tardive dystonia was identified in 25 patients: involvement of the face and neck was most common; truncal and limb dystonia were also observed. There were 3 cases of laryngospasm and 2 of spasmodic dysphonia. The latter has not been previously reported as a manifestation of tardive dystonia. In all cases, movements typical of classic tardive dyskinesia could be demonstrated. This group illustrates the variety of dystonic disorders that may occur in conjunction with tardive dyskinesia.

Abstract
Treatment of Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts with tumor-promoting phorbol diester or with platelet-derived growth factor caused the phosphorylation of the transferrin receptor by protein kinase C (Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme) at serine 24 and increased the cell surface expression of the transferrin receptor. The hypothesis that the regulation of transferrin receptor cycling by protein kinase C is causally related to the phosphorylation of the receptor at serine 24 was critically tested. Site-directed mutagenesis of the human transferrin receptor cDNA was used to substitute serine 24 with threonine or alanine residues in order to create phosphorylation defective receptors. Wild-type and mutated transferrin receptors were expressed in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts using the retrovirus vector pZipNeoSV (X). These receptors were functionally active and caused the receptor-mediated endocytosis of diferric transferrin. Incubation of the fibroblasts with phorbol diester caused the phosphorylation of the wild-type (Ser-24) human transferrin receptor, but this treatment did not result in the phosphorylation of the mutated (Ala-24 and Thr-24) receptors. The cycling of the phosphorylation defective receptors was regulated by phorbol diester and platelet-derived growth factor in a manner similar to that observed for the wild-type receptor. We conclude that the regulation of transferrin receptor cycling by protein kinase C is independent of receptor phosphorylation at serine 24 in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts.

Abstract
The transferrin receptor cycles rapidly between cell surface and endosomal membrane compartments. Treatment of cultured cells with epidermal growth factor (EGF) or insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) at 37 degrees C causes a rapid redistribution of transferrin receptors from an intracellular compartment to the cell surface. The effects of EGF and IGF-I on the kinetics of the cycling of the transferrin receptor in A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells were compared. The primary site of EGF action was found to be an increase in the rate of transferrin receptor exocytosis. The exocytotic rate constant was measured to be 0.11 min-1 in control cells and 0.33 min-1 in EGF-treated cells. In contrast, IGF-I was found to increase the cell surface expression of transferrin receptors by causing a small increase in the rate of exocytosis (from 0.11 to 0.17 min-1) and a decrease in the rate of endocytosis (from 0.33 to 0.24 min-1). It is concluded that the mechanisms for EGF and IGF-I action to increase the cell surface expression of the transferrin receptor are distinct. A kinetic model of the cycling of the transferrin receptor based on experimentally determined rate constants is presented. The model predicts that a consequence of IGF-I action on transferrin receptor cycling is to decrease the apparent Km for the uptake of diferric transferrin by cells. This prediction is confirmed by direct measurement of the accumulation of 59Fe-labeled diferric transferrin by A431 cells. These data demonstrate that the accumulation of iron by cultured cells is a complex function of the rate of cycling of the transferrin receptor and that this process is under acute regulation by growth factors.

Abstract
The relationship between variations in the gastric residence time and the absorption of procainamide from a waxed matrix, sustained-release tablet was evaluated in a repeated-measures study conducted in eight healthy men. Subjects received sustained-release procainamide together with a Heidelberg capsule, alone and with food. Blood and urine samples were collected for up to 24 hours before and after gastric emptying of the Heidelberg capsule for procainamide and N-acetylprocainamide concentration determinations. The gastric residence time of the Heidelberg capsule was prolonged by food (median 3.5 [range 1.5 to 10.0] vs. 1.0 [range 0.5 to 2.5] hours; P less than 0.02). No significant differences (median [range]; fasting vs. fed) in procainamide lag time (0.5 [0.5 to 1.0] vs. 0.5 [0.5 to 1.5] hours) or time at which peak procainamide plasma concentrations occurred (2.9 [1.0 to 4.3] vs. 2.8 [2.0 to 6.0] hours) were evident with feeding. Slight increases in procainamide AUC and peak concentrations occurred with feeding. No alteration in the extent of urinary excretion of procainamide or N-acetylprocainamide occurred with feeding. Thus food did not influence the absorption of sustained-release procainamide despite apparent prolonged gastric retention.

Abstract
We have tested the hypothesis that the mechanism of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and phorbol diester action to decrease the apparent affinity of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor is the phosphorylation of the EGF receptor at the Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) phosphorylation site, threonine 654. Protein kinase C-deficient cells were prepared by prolonged incubation of human fibroblasts with phorbol diester. Addition of phorbol diesters to these cells fails to regulate EGF receptor affinity or threonine 654 phosphorylation. In contrast, PDGF treatment of both control and protein kinase C-deficient fibroblasts causes a decrease in the apparent affinity of the EGF receptor and an increase in threonine 654 phosphorylation. Thus, the ability of PDGF or phorbol diester to modulate EGF receptor affinity occurs only when threonine 654 phosphorylation is increased. The stoichiometry of threonine 654 phosphorylation associated with a 50% decrease in the binding of 125I-EGF to high affinity sites was 0.15 versus 0.3 mol of phosphate per mole of EGF receptor when 32P-labeled fibroblasts are treated with PDGF or phorbol diester, respectively. It is concluded that EGF receptor phosphorylation at threonine 654 can be regulated by PDGF independently of protein kinase C, substoichiometric phosphorylation of the total EGF receptor pool at threonine 654 is caused by maximally effective concentrations of PDGF, and different extents of phosphorylation of EGF receptors at threonine 654 are observed for maximally effective concentrations of PDGF and phorbol diester, respectively. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that a specific subpopulation of EGF receptors that exhibit high affinity for EGF are regulated by threonine 654 phosphorylation.

Abstract
Retrovirus-transformed rat cells that actively express transforming growth factor type alpha (TGF-alpha) release into the medium a soluble protein of 17-19 kDa that has been identified as a precursor for TGF-alpha. The identification of this protein as a TGF-alpha precursor is based on its recognition by specific antibodies and by the ability of elastase to convert this protein into a 6-kDa polypeptide with the properties of mature TGF-alpha. This TGF-alpha precursor binds to epidermal growth factor/TGF-alpha receptors and activates the receptor-associated tyrosine kinase activity in intact cells. The biological potency of this precursor is not markedly increased by conversion into mature TGF-alpha in vitro. These studies demonstrate the ability of transformed cells to release a TGF-alpha precursor capable of strong mitogenic action in vivo.

Abstract
Delaying delivery of a premature abdominal pregnancy may allow for fetal pulmonary maturation. Prolonged extreme oligohydramnios, however, resulting in significant pulmonary hypoplasia would frustrate any effort to wait for pulmonary maturation. Little mention of this complication is found in the literature. Therefore, two cases of abdominal pregnancy are presented, one with fetal pulmonary hypoplasia and one without. Assessing the volume of amniotic fluid is suggested when a decision is being made to deliver this type of pregnancy.

Abstract
Addition of tumor-promoting phorbol diesters to [32P]phosphate-labeled A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells caused an increase in the phosphorylation state of the transferrin receptor. The A431 cell transferrin receptor was also found to be a substrate for protein kinase C in vitro. Tryptic phosphopeptide mapping of the transferrin receptor resolved the same two phosphopeptides (X and Y) after either protein kinase C phosphorylation in vitro or treatment of labeled A431 cells with phorbol diesters. [32P]Phosphoserine was the only labeled phosphoamino acid detected. Phosphopeptide X was shown to be an incomplete tryptic digestion product which could be further digested with trypsin to generate the limit tryptic phosphopeptide (Y). Radiosequence analysis of [32P]phosphopeptide Y demonstrated that the [32P]phosphoserine was the second residue from amino terminus of the peptide. This receptor phosphopeptide was found to co-migrate with the synthetic peptide Phe-Ser(P)-Leu-Ala-Arg (where Ser(P) is phosphoserine) during reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography and two-dimensional thin layer electrophoresis and chromatography. The peptide Phe-Ser(P)-Leu-Ala-Arg is an expected tryptic fragment of the cytoplasmic domain of the transferrin receptor corresponding to residues 23-27. We conclude that the major site of protein kinase C phosphorylation of the transferrin receptor in vivo and in vitro is serine 24. This phosphorylation site is located within the intracellular domain of the transferrin receptor, 38 residues away from the predicted transmembrane domain.

Abstract
Insulin stimulates the accumulation of iron by isolated fat cells by increasing the uptake of diferric transferrin. Analysis of the cell-surface binding of diferric 125I-transferrin indicated that insulin caused a 3-fold increase in the cell surface number of transferrin receptors. This result was confirmed by the demonstration that insulin increases the binding of an anti-rat transferrin receptor monoclonal antibody (OX-26) to the surface of fat cells. The basis of this effect of insulin was examined by investigating the number of transferrin receptors in membrane fractions isolated from disrupted fat cells. Two methods were employed. First the binding isotherm of diferric 125I-transferrin to the isolated membranes was studied. Second, the membranes were solubilized with detergent, and the number of transferrin receptors was measured by immunoblotting using the monoclonal antibody OX-26. It was observed that insulin treatment of intact fat cells resulted in an increase in the number of transferrin receptors located in the isolated plasma membrane fraction of the disrupted fat cells. Furthermore, the increase in the number of plasma membrane transferrin receptors was associated with a concomitant decrease in the transferrin receptor number in a low density microsome fraction previously shown to consist of intracellular membranes. This redistribution of transferrin receptors between cellular membrane fractions in response to insulin is remarkably similar to the regulation by insulin of glucose transporters and type II insulin-like growth factor receptors. We conclude that insulin stimulates fat cell iron uptake by a mechanism that may involve the redistribution of transferrin receptors from an internal membrane compartment (low density microsomes) to the cell surface (plasma membrane).

Abstract
Addition of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), recombinant insulin-like growth factor I (rIGF-I) or epidermal growth factor (EGF) to BALB/c 3T3 fibroblasts causes a marked increase in the binding of [125I]diferric transferrin to cell surface receptors. This effect is very rapid and is complete within 5 min. The effect of EGF is transient, with [125I]diferric transferrin binding returning to control values within 25 min. In contrast, PDGF and rIGF-I cause a prolonged stimulation of [125I]diferric transferrin binding that could be observed for up to 2 h. The increase in the binding of [125I]diferric transferrin caused by growth factors was investigated by analysis of the binding isotherm. Epidermal growth factor, PDGF and rIGF-I were found to increase the cell surface expression of transferrin receptors rather than to alter the affinity of the transferrin receptors. This result was confirmed in human fibroblasts by the demonstration that EGF, PDGF and rIGF-I could stimulate the binding of a monoclonal antibody directed against the transferrin receptor (OKT9) to the cell surface. Furthermore, PDGF and rIGF-I stimulated the sustained uptake of [59Fe]diferric transferrin by BALB/c 3T3 fibroblasts, while EGF transiently increased uptake. Thus the effect of these growth factors to increase the cell surface expression of the transferrin receptor appears to have an important physiological consequence.

Abstract
Addition of 4 beta-phorbol 12 beta-myristate 13 alpha-acetate (PMA) to A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells causes a marked increase in the phosphorylation state of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor with a concomitant inhibition of both the high-affinity binding of 125I-EGF and the receptor tyrosine kinase activity. It was found in the present studies that the diuretic drug amiloride has no effect on the action of PMA to inhibit the binding of 125I-EGF. However, amiloride was observed to inhibit markedly the effect of PMA to cause a 3-fold increase in the phosphorylation state of the EGF receptors. In the presence of PMA and amiloride, the increase in the phosphorylation state of the EGF receptors was found to be only 1.2-fold over controls. Analysis of the EGF receptor phosphorylation sites by phosphopeptide mapping by reverse-phase h.p.l.c. demonstrated that PMA increases the phosphorylation state of the EGF receptor at many sites. One of these sites has been identified as a C-kinase substrate, threonine-654. In the presence of amiloride, PMA causes phosphorylation of threonine-654 to the same stoichiometry as that observed in the absence of amiloride. However, the marked increase in the phosphorylation state of the EGF receptor at other sites caused by PMA is abolished in the presence of amiloride. We conclude that the extensive phosphorylation of the EGF receptor at several sites caused by the addition of PMA to A431 cells is not required for the action of PMA to inhibit the high-affinity binding of 125I-EGF. The results indicate that the phosphorylation state of threonine-654 may play a role in this process.

Abstract
The structural requirements for diacylglycerols to mimic the action of tumor-promoting phorbol diesters on the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor of A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells were investigated. Five biological effects were considered: inhibition of high affinity 125I-EGF binding, change in the phosphorylation state of the EGF receptor, inhibition of the EGF-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of the EGF receptor, inhibition of [3H]phorbol 12 beta, 13 alpha-dibutyrate binding, and stimulation of calcium- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (C-kinase) in vitro. A marked effect of the acyl chain length, 3-10 carbons, of symmetric sn-1,2-diacylglycerols was observed on their ability to mimic the effect of 4 beta-phorbol 12 beta-myristate 13 alpha-acetate (PMA). sn-1,2-Dipropanoylglycerol did not mimic the effects of PMA, but sn-1,2-didecanoylglycerol potently mimicked PMA action. A correlation was found between the ability of these diacylglycerols to stimulate the activity of C-kinase in vitro and to mimic the effects of PMA on the EGF receptor in intact cells. Analogues of sn-1,2-dioctanoylglycerol in which the 3' hydroxyl group was substituted with hydrogen, thio or chloro moieties were inactive when assayed for their ability to stimulate C-kinase in vitro and mimic PMA action in intact cells. We conclude that the hydroxyl group of a diacylglycerol is vital for the interaction with the phorbol diester receptor. The stringent correlation between the potency of the 11 diacylglycerol analogues tested to modulate C-kinase in vitro and to mimic PMA action in vivo provides strong evidence for the hypothesis that C-kinase plays a central role in the regulation of A431 cell EGF receptors by tumor-promoting phorbol diesters.
