Abstract
Acyl glucuronide metabolites of bilirubin and many drugs can react with serum albumin in vivo to form covalent adducts. Such adducts may be responsible for some toxic effects of carboxylic nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents. The mechanism of formation of the adducts and their chemical structures are unknown. In this paper we describe the use of tandem mass spectrometry to locate binding sites and elucidate the binding mechanism involved in the formation of covalent adducts from tolmetin glucuronide and albumin in vitro. Human serum albumin and excess tolmetin glucuronide were coincubated in the presence of sodium cyanoborohydride to trap imine intermediates. The total protein product was reduced, carboxymethylated, and digested with trypsin. Six tolmetin-containing peptides (indicated by absorbance at 313 nm) were isolated by high-pressure liquid chromatography and analyzed by liquid secondary-ion mass spectrometry and collision-induced dissociation, using a four-sector tandem mass spectrometer. All six peptides contained tolmetin linked covalently via a glucuronic acid to protein lysine groups. Major attachment sites on the protein were Lys-195, -199, and -525; minor sites were identified as Lys-137, -351, and -541. Our results show unambiguously that the glucuronic acid moiety of acyl glucuronides can be retained within the structure when these reactive metabolites bind covalently to proteins, and they suggest that acyl migration followed by Schiff base (imine) formation is a credible mechanism for the generation of covalent adducts in vivo.

Abstract
Age has been found to be a significant risk factor for brain ischemia and its mortality. After cerebral ischemia, the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system undergoes selective vulnerability with necrosis of striatal neurons. To study the effect of age and transient forebrain ischemia on striatal dopamine metabolism, investigations were performed in 1-year-old (adult) and 2-year-old (aged) male Wistar rats. A 15 min period of bilateral transient incomplete ischemia (ICI) was induced, and the concentrations of dopamine (DA), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), 3-methoxytyramine (3-MT), and homovanillic acid (HVA) were measured in the striatum by means of HPLC and electrochemical detection at the end of ischemia without reperfusion, and after 1 h, 24 h, 72 h, 144 h, and 288 h of postischemic cerebral reperfusion. In normal conditions, no 3-MT was detectable in either age group studied, and no other age-related changes could be found in DA or its metabolites. During ICI, an age-related difference became obvious in the 3-MT concentration, which was higher in aged animals. In this group, DOPAC dropped and DA turnover increased. After 1 h of postischemic reperfusion, the concentrations of DOPAC and HVA, as well as the turnover rate, had increased in both age groups, whereas an increase in the DA concentration became apparent in the adult animals only. The enhancement of the concentration of both DOPAC and HVA was more marked in adult animals than in aged ones. At 24 h of postischemic cerebral reperfusion, DA concentration was still elevated in both age groups, and HVA in the 1-year-old animals only. At 72 h of postischemic cerebral reperfusion, no differences were obvious between adult experimental animals and controls, whereas the elevated DA concentration persisted in aged animals, being higher than in the control group and in the 1-year-old rats. DA turnover was reduced. Longer periods of postischemic cerebral reperfusion were not found to be followed by any abnormalities compared with controls except for the DA concentration at 288 h (1-year-old group); nor were there any differences between the two age groups studied. The data obtained in this investigation clearly indicate age-related differences in the striatal dopaminergic neurotransmission after transient cerebral ischemia, in that in the aged brain reactions are markedly delayed after an injurious event such as ischemia.

Abstract
The experimental results show that Erzhi Pills can markedly increase the weights of immunological organs in mice and antagonize the immunosuppressive action of prednisolone. The diameter of SRID precipitating ring, the hemolytic ability of PFC and the clearance rate of i.v. charcoal particles in mice can all be increased by the pills. Erzhi Pills also protect mice from CCl4 intoxication. Steamed Ligustrum lucidum has the same action as Erzhi Pills.

Abstract
Taxol, a naturally occurring diterpene with antitumor activity, induces tubulin polymerization to generate abnormally stable and nonfunctional microtubules. Previously, we showed that taxol has lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-like effects on macrophages. As LPS is a potent inducer of macrophage cytokine production, we investigated whether a similar effect is exerted by taxol. In a dose-dependent manner, LPS-free taxol induced release of biologically active tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) by inflammatory murine macrophages. Taxol-induced production of TNF was inhibitable by interleukin-10. By Northern blot, taxol (10 and 1 microM) induced TNF mRNA expression to an extent similar to LPS. Induction of TNF mRNA by 10 microM taxol was detectable at 45 min of stimulation, maximal at 90 min, and evident for at least 8 h. The same low concentration of taxol also induced interleukin 1 (IL-1) alpha and beta mRNA expression. We conclude that taxol triggers macrophages for TNF and IL-1 production. These LPS-like effects of taxol might contribute to its antitumor activity.

Abstract
Bacterial LPS is a potent stimulator of immune cells, but its mechanisms are unknown. A possible role for microtubules in LPS actions has been indicated by previous findings that the microtubule-active agent, taxol, can mimic some effects of LPS in macrophages from normal strains of mice, but not from genetically LPS-hyporesponsive strains. In this report we demonstrate that isolated microtubules from mouse brain can bind LPS in vitro. LPS and tubulin coeluted through a gel filtration column, and LPS was cross-linked to microtubule proteins with an iodinatable, photoreactive agent, sulfosuccinimidyl 2-(p-azidosalicylamido) ethyl-1,3'-dithiopropionate. beta-Tubulin and microtubule-associated protein-2 (MAP), a predominant MAP in the brain, bound LPS specifically. Cross-linking was inhibited by an excess of unlabeled LPS or partially by unlabeled lipid A, but not by 2 M NaCl. Under the same conditions, neither myosin nor soybean trypsin inhibitor was labeled by the photoaffinity LPS probe, nor did these proteins compete for binding of LPS to beta-tubulin. These findings support the hypothesis that the microtubule network could be an intracellular target for LPS, and suggest further that a beta-tubulin-associated MAP could have an important role in LPS actions.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) conveys a variety of messages between cells, including signals for vasorelaxation, neurotransmission, and cytotoxicity. In some endothelial cells and neurons, a constitutive NO synthase is activated transiently by agonists that elevate intracellular calcium concentrations and promote the binding of calmodulin. In contrast, in macrophages, NO synthase activity appears slowly after exposure of the cells to cytokines and bacterial products, is sustained, and functions independently of calcium and calmodulin. A monospecific antibody was used to clone complementary DNA that encoded two isoforms of NO synthase from immunologically activated mouse macrophages. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to confirm most of the amino acid sequence. Macrophage NO synthase differs extensively from cerebellar NO synthase. The macrophage enzyme is immunologically induced at the transcriptional level and closely resembles the enzyme in cytokine-treated tumor cells and inflammatory neutrophils.

Abstract
The tissue concentrations of the monoaminergic neurotransmitters noradrenaline (NA), dopamine, and serotonin (5-HT) and of their major metabolites were measured by HPLC and electrochemical detection in several rat brain areas after intracerebroventricular injection of streptozotocin (STZ). NA levels were found to be decreased in the frontal cortex by 14%, in the entorhinal cortex by 18%, and in the striatum by 38%. In the entorhinal cortex, 5-HT levels were decreased by 19% and the 5-HT turnover rate, measured as the 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid/5-HT ratio, was found to be increased by 48%. These results may be indicative of a distinct susceptibility of some neurotransmitters in certain brain areas after a more general impairment of brain metabolism by means of intracerebroventricular application of the diabetogenic compound STZ.

Abstract
To evaluate the development of striatal ischemic cell damage in relation to alterations in dopamine (DA) transmission, one year old male Wistar rats underwent a 15 min incomplete cerebral ischemia (ICI) induced by occlusion of the common carotid arteries and by hypovolemic hypotension. The animals were divided into the following experimental groups: sham operated rats, rats with ICI without reperfusion, and rats with ICI followed by 60 min, 24 h, 72 h and 144 h of recirculation. The ischemia induced striatal lesions were investigated in serial coronal brain sections, stained with cresylviolet or immunostained for dopamine and cAMP regulated phosphoprotein (DARPP-32), for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunoreactivities (IR). Measurements of striatal dopamine (DA), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA) levels were made on analogous experimental groups using HPLC methods. Signs of degeneration in small to medium sized neurons were already seen after 60 min of postischemic reperfusion together with slight decreases of DARPP-32 IR and increases of GFAP IR. The damage continued to increase up to 144 h, and after 24 h of recirculation there were clearly defined areas of reduced DARPP-32 IR, overlapping with increased TH IR and increased GFAP IR. The levels of DA, DOPAC and HVA increased sharply after 60 min (151%, 462% and 201%, respectively) remained high after 24 h and normalized after 72 h of recirculation. The DA metabolism was high after 60 min and had already normalized after 24 h of recirculation. The increased DA metabolism in striatal nerve terminals in response to ischemic injury may reflect an early degenerative change in the DA terminals. The long-lasting increase in TH IR may to some extent represent an adaptive change in response to the disappearance of DA receptor-containing nerve cells. Based on the present findings it is possible that an increased D1 transmission in neostriatum immediately following the ischemic injury may contribute to striatal nerve cell degeneration in which an enhancement of NMDA receptor transduction may be implicated.

Abstract
The lipid A domain of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a unique, glucosamine-based phospholipid that makes up the outer monolayer of the outer membrane of most gram-negative bacteria. Because of its profound pharmacological effects on animal cells, especially those of the immune system, lipid A is also known as endotoxin. Despite decades of earlier work, the precise chemistry of endotoxins and the biochemical pathways for their enzymatic synthesis have been elucidated only within the past 5 years. In this review, we summarize the essentials of endotoxin biochemistry and also present recent experiments aimed at identifying surface receptors, signal-transducing elements, transcriptional factors, and key intracellular targets involved in the response of animal cells to endotoxins.

Abstract
Macrophage deactivating factor (MDF) and three members of the transforming growth factor-beta family (TGF-beta 1, -beta 2, and -beta 3) blocked the ability of IFN-gamma to induce release of reactive nitrogen intermediates from mouse peritoneal macrophages. Raising the concentration of IFN-gamma did not diminish the potency of the inhibitors (50% inhibition by approximately 7 nM MDF, 2 pM TGF-beta 1, 4 pM TGF-beta 2, and 8 pM TGF-beta 3). These inhibitors partially blocked induction of nitrite release in macrophages activated with the combination of IFN-gamma plus TNF-alpha, but were incapable of inhibiting when macrophages were activated by the combination of IFN-gamma plus LPS. MDF and TGF-beta 1, -beta 2, and -beta 3 inhibited IFN-gamma-induced nitrite release only if present during the induction phase; once IFN-gamma-nitrite release had commenced, addition of the same cytokines was no longer inhibitory. Maximum inhibition of synthesis over a 48-h period required that the inhibitors be present during the first 3 h of induction. Thus, cytokines can suppress as well as induce macrophage synthesis of reactive nitrogen intermediates, products with cytotoxic, antimicrobial, and vasodilatory properties.

Abstract
Metal clusters have been produced using a laser evaporation source. A Nd-YAG laser beam focused onto a solid silver rod was used to evaporate the material, which was then cooled to form clusters with the help of a pulsed high pressure He beam. TOF mass spectra of these clusters reveal a strong occurrence of small and medium sized clusters (n less than 100). Clusters were also deposited onto grid supported thin layers of carbon-films which were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Very high resolution pictures of these grids were used to analyze the size distribution and the structure of the deposited clusters. The diffraction pattern caused by crystalline structure of the clusters reveal 3- and 5-fold symmetries besides the pattern reflecting the fcc bulk structure. This can be explained in terms of icosahedron and cuboctahedron type clusters deposited on the surface of the carbon layer. There is strong evidence that part of these cluster geometries had already been formed before the deposition process. The non-linear dependence of the cluster size and the cluster density on the generating conditions is discussed.

Abstract
Macrophage activation--enhanced capacity to kill, in a cell that otherwise mostly scavenges--is essential for host survival from infection and contributes to containment of tumours. Both microbes and tumour cells, therefore, may be under pressure to inhibit or reverse the activation of macrophages. This reasoning led to the demonstration of macrophage deactivating factors from both microbes and tumour cells. In some circumstances the host itself probably requires the ability to deactivate macrophages. Macrophages are essential to the healing of wounds and repair of tissues damaged by inflammation. Yet the cytotoxic products of the activated macrophages can damage endothelium, fibroblasts, smooth muscle and parenchymal cells (reviewed in ref. 6). Thus, after an inflammatory site has been sterilized, the impact of macrophage activation on the host might shift from benefit to detriment. These concepts led us to search for macrophage deactivating effects among polypeptide growth factors that regulate angiogenesis, fibrogenesis and other aspects of tissue repair. Among 11 such factors, two proteins that are 71% similar proved to be potent macrophage deactivators: these are transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) and TGF-beta 2.

Abstract
IL-2 potentiates both growth and cytotoxic function of T lymphocytes and NK cells. Resting peripheral blood NK cells can respond directly to rIL-2, without requirement for accessory cells or cofactors, and enhanced cytotoxicity can be measured within a few hours after exposure to this lymphokine. In this study, we describe an activation antigen, Leu-23, that is rapidly induced and phosphorylated after IL-2 stimulation of NK cells and a subset of low buoyant density T lymphocytes. Previously, it has been uncertain whether all NK cells or only a subset are responsive to IL-2. Since within 18 h after exposure to IL-2, essentially all NK cells express Leu-23, these findings indicate that all peripheral blood NK cells are responsive to stimulation by IL-2. The Leu-23 antigen is a disulfide-bonded homodimer, composed of 24-kD protein subunits with two N-linked oligosaccharides. Appearance of this glycoprotein on NK cells is IL-2 dependent and closely parallels IL-2-induced cytotoxicity against NK-resistant solid tumor cell targets.

Abstract
Murine Kupffer cells (KCs), which constitute one of the largest populations of tissue macrophages, differ from most other cells of the myelomonocytic lineage in lacking the capacity for a respiratory burst. A collagenase perfusion technique followed by adherence to plastic at low temperature yielded pure cultures of KCs uniformly expressing receptors for Fc and C3bi, and containing virtually no morphologically detectable intracytoplasmic debris. Such KCs took up and oxidized glucose via the hexose monophosphate shunt about the same as peritoneal macrophages (PCs). Respiratory burst stimuli failed to enhance the hexose monophosphate shunt in KCs, probably because no H2O2 was produced. Detergent-permeabilized KCs generated no O2- in the presence of 1 mM NADPH, in striking contrast to all PC populations studied. Yet, KCs contained at least one component of the O2(-)-producing oxidase, cytochrome b559, in the same quantities as PCs and neutrophils. Cytochrome b559 was demonstrated by a novel double-reduction spectral technique that eliminated interference from hemoglobin and mitochondrial cytochromes. Consistent with the presence of the oxidase, KCs acquired normal respiratory burst capacity after prolonged incubation in vitro. The defect in triggering the respiratory burst in KCs was selective for the reduction of O2 by NADPH, in that reduction of O2 by endogenous arachidonate was readily demonstrate in response to zymosan. The percent of arachidonate released, the percent oxygenated, and the suppression of prostacyclin and leukotriene C production, as well as the pattern of LFA-1 expression, all resembled the pattern reported with PCs several days after exposure to bacteria. Indeed, exposure of PCs to low numbers of zymosan particles led gradually to complete suppression of respiratory burst capacity and refractoriness to its enhancement by rIFN-gamma, as evident in KCs both before and after their explanation. Thus, the modulation of oxidative metabolism that characterizes KCs probably arises from frequent endocytic encounters. This phenomenon may permit macrophages to act as scavengers without oxidative damage to bystander cells.

Abstract
Abstract
The Leu-19 (NKH-1) antigen is expressed on human peripheral blood NK cells and a subset of peripheral blood cytotoxic T lymphocytes that kill "NK-sensitive" tumor cell targets without major histocompatibility complex restriction. In the present study, we demonstrate that the Leu-19 (NKH-1) antigen is also expressed on most interleukin 2 (IL 2) dependent T cell lines and clones that have been maintained in long term culture. The Leu-19 (NKH-1) antigen expressed on an antigen-specific, class I directed cytotoxic T lymphocyte cell line was an approximately 200,000 to 220,000 dalton protein, similar to Leu-19 (NKH-1) protein expressed on natural killer cells and KG1a, an immature stem cell leukemia cell line. Furthermore, Leu-19 (NKH-1) was expressed on both CD4+ and CD8+ IL 2 dependent T cell clones, and was present on both cytotoxic and non-cytotoxic T cell clones. Thus expression of Leu-19 (NKH-1) antigen on cultured cell lines does not directly correlate with cytotoxic function, antigenic specificity, or cell lineage.

Abstract
The Leu-19 (NKH-1) antigen is expressed on human peripheral blood NK cells and a subset of peripheral blood cytotoxic T lymphocytes that kill "NK-sensitive" tumor cell targets without major histocompatibility complex restriction. In the present study, we demonstrate that the Leu-19 (NKH-1) antigen is also expressed on most interleukin 2 (IL 2) dependent T cell lines and clones that have been maintained in long term culture. The Leu-19 (NKH-1) antigen expressed on an antigen-specific, class I directed cytotoxic T lymphocyte cell line was an approximately 200,000 to 220,000 dalton protein, similar to Leu-19 (NKH-1) protein expressed on natural killer cells and KG1a, an immature stem cell leukemia cell line. Furthermore, Leu-19 (NKH-1) was expressed on both CD4+ and CD8+ IL 2 dependent T cell clones, and was present on both cytotoxic and non-cytotoxic T cell clones. Thus expression of Leu-19 (NKH-1) antigen on cultured cell lines does not directly correlate with cytotoxic function, antigenic specificity, or cell lineage.

Abstract
Several features of activation of mouse peritoneal macrophages were elicited by 1-2-d exposure to submicrogram concentrations of anti-Mac-1 (M1/70), a rat monoclonal antibody that reacts with the alpha chain of complement receptor type 3 (Mac-1). The changes induced included enhanced capacity to secrete H2O2 when triggered with PMA, decreased secretion of proteins, increased expression of Ia antigen and decreased phagocytosis of particles. These changes closely resembled those induced by rIFN-gamma in type, extent, and time course. The concentration of M1/70 IgG resulting in 50% of the maximal activation of macrophage H2O2-releasing capacity averaged 0.18 +/- 0.03 micrograms/ml. This activation was not blocked by anti-FcR mAb, and could be reproduced with M18/2, a mAb against beta chain of Mac-1, suggesting that a direct ligation of Mac-1 with mAb was responsible for the activation. Neither depletion of T cells nor addition of neutralizing Abs to IFN-gamma or TNF-alpha prevented M1/70-mediated macrophage activation. Moreover, F(ab')2 of M1/70, or plating of macrophages on C3bi-coated surfaces, inhibited the activation of macrophages by rIFN-gamma. These findings suggest that Mac-1 (CR3) may play an important role in macrophage activation.

Abstract
To assess the possibility that hydrolysis of the platelet surface thrombin substrate, glycoprotein V, is a necessary step in thrombin-induced platelet activation, thrombin-catalyzed hydrolysis of glycoprotein V was correlated with thrombin-induced platelet activation. Hydrolysis of tritium-labeled glycoprotein V on washed human platelets was measured by the appearance of a labeled supernatant fragment, and platelet activation was measured as secretion of ATP. Hydrolysis of glycoprotein V was linear with respect to both thrombin concentration and time of incubation. The extent of platelet activation was correlated with the rate of hydrolysis but not with the amount hydrolyzed. Maximum platelet activation could be obtained with thrombin treatments resulting in hydrolysis of as little as 4% of glycoprotein V per min. Glycoprotein V was partially removed from platelets by pretreatment with either platelet calcium-dependent protease or chymotrypsin. The rate of thrombin-catalyzed hydrolysis of the remaining glycoprotein V from these pretreated platelets was as little as 1.5% the rate from control platelets, but there was no impairment of the extent of platelet activation. Thus, these protease-pretreated platelets compared with control platelets showed a different correlation of glycoprotein V hydrolysis with platelet activation. Glycoprotein V was also partially removed by pretreatment of prostacyclin-inhibited platelets with thrombin. After removal of thrombin and prostacyclin, these platelets were desensitized to subsequent activation by thrombin. Incubation of desensitized platelets with nonsaturating levels of thrombin led to less than 25% of the activation seen with control platelets but to a slightly greater hydrolysis of glycoprotein V. Thus, the desensitization to thrombin was not due to loss of ability of the activating thrombin to hydrolyze glycoprotein V. These results do not exclude a role for glycoprotein V as a component of the platelet thrombin receptor, but they indicate that there is no simple relationship between thrombin-induced hydrolysis of glycoprotein V and platelet activation.
