Abstract
BACKGROUND Transferrin and its receptors play an important role during the uptake and transcytosis of iron through blood-brain barrier (BBB) endothelial cells (ECs) to maintain iron homeostasis in BBB endothelium and brain. Any disruptions in the cell environment may change the distribution of transferrin receptors on the cell surface, which eventually alter the homeostasis and initiate neurodegenerative disorders. In this paper, we developed a comprehensive mathematical model that considers the necessary kinetics for holo-transferrin internalization and acidification, apo-transferrin recycling, and exocytosis of free iron and transferrin-bound iron through basolateral side of BBB ECs. METHODS Ordinary differential equations are formulated based on the first order reaction kinetics to model the iron transport considering their interactions with transferrin and transferrin receptors. Unknown kinetics rate constants are determined from experimental data by applying a non-linear optimization technique. RESULTS Using the estimated kinetic rate constants, the presented model can effectively reproduce the experimental data of iron transports through BBB ECs for many in-vitro studies. Model results also suggest that the BBB ECs can regulate the extent of the two possible iron transport pathways (free and transferrin-bound iron) by controlling the receptor expression, internalization of holo-transferrin-receptor complexes and acidification of holo-transferrin inside the cell endosomes. CONCLUSION The comprehensive mathematical model described here can predict the iron transport through BBB ECs considering various possible routes from blood side to brain side. The model can also predict the transferrin and iron transport behavior in iron-enriched and iron-depleted cells, which has not been addressed in previous work.

Abstract
Neurologic disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and Restless Legs Syndrome involve a loss of brain iron homeostasis. Moreover, iron deficiency is the most prevalent nutritional concern worldwide with many associated cognitive and neural ramifications. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms by which iron enters the brain and how those processes are regulated addresses significant global health issues. The existing paradigm assumes that the endothelial cells (ECs) forming the blood-brain barrier (BBB) serve as a simple conduit for transport of transferrin-bound iron. This concept is a significant oversimplification, at minimum failing to account for the iron needs of the ECs. Using an in vivo model of brain iron deficiency, the Belgrade rat, we show the distribution of transferrin receptors in brain microvasculature is altered in luminal, intracellular, and abluminal membranes dependent on brain iron status. We used a cell culture model of the BBB to show the presence of factors that influence iron release in non-human primate cerebrospinal fluid and conditioned media from astrocytes; specifically apo-transferrin and hepcidin were found to increase and decrease iron release, respectively. These data have been integrated into an interactive model where BBB ECs are central in the regulation of cerebral iron metabolism.

Abstract
Anemia is a multifactorial condition whose prevalence increases in both sexes after the fifth decade of life. It is a highly represented phenomenon in older adults and in one-third of cases is "unexplained." Ageing process is also characterized by a "multiple hormonal dysregulation" with disruption in gonadal, adrenal, and somatotropic axes. Experimental studies suggest that anabolic hormones such as testosterone, IGF-1, and thyroid hormones are able to increase erythroid mass, erythropoietin synthesis, and iron bioavailability, underlining a potential role of multiple hormonal changes in the anemia of aging. Epidemiological data more consistently support an association between lower testosterone and anemia in adult-older individuals. Low IGF-1 has been especially associated with anemia in the pediatric population and in a wide range of disorders. There is also evidence of an association between thyroid hormones and abnormalities in hematological parameters under overt thyroid and euthyroid conditions, with limited data on subclinical statuses. Although RCTs have shown beneficial effects, stronger for testosterone and the GH-IGF-1 axis and less evident for thyroid hormones, in improving different hematological parameters, there is no clear evidence for the usefulness of hormonal treatment in improving anemia in older subjects. Thus, more clinical and research efforts are needed to investigate the hormonal contribution to anemia in the older individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transferrin (Tf) is an iron-binding protein that facilitates iron-uptake in cells. Iron-loaded Tf first binds to the Tf receptor (TfR) and enters the cell through clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Inside the cell, Tf is trafficked to early endosomes, delivers iron, and then is subsequently directed to recycling endosomes to be taken back to the cell surface. SCOPE OF REVIEW We aim to review the various methods and techniques that researchers have employed for elucidating the Tf trafficking pathway and the cell-machinery components involved. These experimental methods can be categorized as microscopy, radioactivity, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). MAJOR CONCLUSIONS Qualitative experiments, such as total internal reflectance fluorescence (TIRF), electron, laser-scanning confocal, and spinning-disk confocal microscopy, have been utilized to determine the roles of key components in the Tf trafficking pathway. These techniques allow temporal resolution and are useful for imaging Tf endocytosis and recycling, which occur on the order of seconds to minutes. Additionally, radiolabeling and SPR methods, when combined with mathematical modeling, have enabled researchers to estimate quantitative kinetic parameters and equilibrium constants associated with Tf binding and trafficking. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Both qualitative and quantitative data can be used to analyze the Tf trafficking pathway. The valuable information that is obtained about the Tf trafficking pathway can then be combined with mathematical models to identify design criteria to improve the ability of Tf to deliver anticancer drugs. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Transferrins: Molecular mechanisms of iron transport and disorders.

Abstract
Several approaches to target insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) signaling have resulted in the inhibition of the growth of a broad range of tumor cells. Malignant T cells are insensitive to the antiproliferative effects of the interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) pathway because of the IGF-1-dependent internalization of the IFN-gammaR2 signaling chain. Here we show that human malignant T cells are also resistant to the growth inhibitory effect of both the IGF-1 receptor-specific inhibitor picropodophyllin (PPP) and retrovirus-mediated gene transfer of a dominant negative IGF-1 receptor. However, blockade of IGF-1 receptor perturbs IFN-gammaR2 internalization and induces its cell surface accumulation in malignant T cells. This allows the reinstatement of the IFN-gamma-induced STAT1 activation, a high expression of proapoptotic molecules, and the suppression of malignant T-cell growth both in vitro and in vivo in a severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mouse model. These data indicate that the inhibition of IGF-1 signaling combined with IFN-gamma administration could be a promising approach to suppress the growth of neoplastic T cells resistant to each treatment on its own.

Abstract
A proteomics approach was used to characterize biochemical and cellular mechanisms governing effects of peripubertal feeding on heifer mammary development. Mammary parenchymal tissue from 24 Holstein heifers randomly assigned to treatments arranged in a 2 x 2 factorial design was used to generate 2-dimensional protein maps of mammary tissue extracts. Heifers were reared on 1 of 2 dietary treatments, restricted (650 g/ d of daily gain) or elevated (950 g/d of daily gain) and killed at 1 of 2 body weights (BW, 200 or 350 kg). Cytosolic mammary gland extracts were prepared from frozen mammary parenchyma. Proteome maps of extracts were constructed using PDQuest software. Densities of 820 protein spots were analyzed using the MIXED procedure of SAS. Protein spots were characterized by changes in profiles of expression in response to increased BW, dietary treatment, or both. Dietary treatment influenced the expression of 131 protein spots, whereas heifer BW influenced the expression of 108 spots. The 22 most highly influenced (statistically) spots were excised and submitted for mass spectrometric analyses. Returned protein names and accession numbers were used in National Center for Biotechnology Information database searches to obtain information on the identified proteins. For example, one of the proteins that differed by dietary treatment, transferrin, a binding protein of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3, was identified via these methods. Possible roles of this and other proteins in mammary development are described. We concluded that a proteomic approach is an effective tool for identifying the proteins involved in bovine mammary development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin-like growth factors I and II (IGF-I and IGF-II) are potent growth factors involved in development. IGF-I stimulates proliferation of erythropoietic progenitors and parenteral IGF-I administration stimulates in vivo erythropoiesis in animals. IGF-I and IGF-II are both present in mammalian milks and when milk-borne, are resistant to neonatal gastrointestinal degradation. Whether milk-borne IGF-I or IGF-II regulates neonatal erythropoiesis in not known. We hypothesized that physiological doses of enteral IGFs stimulate erythropoiesis in suckling rats. METHODS Eight day-old Sprague Dawley rats were artificially fed for 4 days with rat milk substitute (RMS) or RMS supplemented with physiological levels of IGF-I or IGF-II. Rats fed IGF-I and IGF-II were compared to control RMS. Blood and marrow were collected; measures of red cell mass, measures of erythropoietic stimulus, and indices of iron status were measured. RESULTS Rats fed IGF-I had higher hemoglobin (Hb) levels (100 +/- 10 g/l), compared to those fed RMS (94 +/- 9) or IGF-II (91 +/- 6), p < 0.001. After IGF-I supplementation, red blood cell counts (RBC) (p < 0.04) and hematocrits (p < 0.002) were also higher. Plasma erythropoietin (Epo) levels, reticulocytes, plasma iron and erythrocyte iron incorporation were similar. CONCLUSION Intact enteral IGF-I reaches distal erythropoietic tissue resulting in greater red cell mass, but not by increasing plasma Epo levels or by altering cellular iron transport.

Abstract
Early investigations into the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-independent actions of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP)-3 have implicated a large array of signaling proteins with links to cell cycle control and apoptosis. However, the actual mechanism of IGFBP-3 action is still unclear. In an effort to clearly understand the mechanism of IGF-independent IGFBP-3 actions, a proteomic approach to identify the actual proteins involved in interaction with IGFBP-3 from different cell compartments, the phosphorylation status of IGFBP-3 under different physiologic conditions and the proteins upregulated by IGFBP-3 are briefly reviewed. The IGF system is a well-recognized key player in diseases such as cancer, diabetes and malnutrition. It is only after the signaling pathways of the IGF-independent actions of IGFBP-3 are clearly understood that the system can be manipulated to affect these disorders.

Abstract
Ligand-dependent downregulation of the interferon gamma receptor signaling chain (IFNgammaR2) has always been seen as a key mechanism for shielding T lymphocytes from the antiproliferative effects of the IFNgamma-signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) pathway. Now, however, a ligand-independent mechanism of IFNgammaR2 internalization is emerging as a more general way of limiting IFNgamma-STAT1 signaling in T cells, with insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and iron as the main players. Here, we review the array of immunomodulatory effects exerted by these two factors on different cell types involved in the immune response; these effects suggest that an inflammatory environment generates signals that favor IFNgammaR2 cell-surface accumulation and IFNgamma-induced apoptosis in T cells, whereas an anti-inflammatory environment promotes IFNgammaR2 internalization and induces T cell unresponsiveness to IFNgamma signaling.

Abstract
The refractoriness of T cells to the interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) pathway, which shields them from the antiproliferative effect of IFN-gamma, is attributed mainly to down-regulation of the IFN-gammaR2 signaling chain. However, the mechanisms responsible for this down-regulation are unclear. Here we show that iron uptake mediated by the transferrin receptor (TfR) delivers a signal that leads to IFN-gammaR2 internalization and thus plays an essential role in attenuating activation of the IFN-gamma/STAT1 pathway in human T lymphocytes. The effect of iron on IFN-gammaR2 internalization was specific as it did not affect expression of the IFN-gammaR1 binding chain. Deferoxamine (DFO), an iron-chelating agent, up-regulated IFN-gammaR2 surface expression and reinstated IFN-gamma/STAT1 activation in proliferating T lymphocytes. Resistance of malignant T cells to the antiproliferative effect of IFN-gamma in vitro was abrogated by addition of DFO. Conversely, iron inhibited IFN-gamma-induced apoptosis in malignant T cells in serum-free conditions. In combination but not individually, DFO and IFN-gamma strongly inhibited growth of human malignant T cells in an in vivo severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mouse model. These data provide valuable insights for novel therapeutic approaches aimed at reinstating the IFN-gamma/STAT1 apoptotic signaling pathway in autoreactive or neoplastic T cells by means of iron chelation.

Abstract
Insulin stimulates glucose transport in muscle and fat cells by causing the redistribution of a facilitative glucose transporter, GLUT-4, from an intracellular compartment to the cell surface. But what is this intracellular GLUT-4 compartment? It may be a specialized compartment, perhaps analogous to synaptic vesicles, or may simply be part of the endosomal system. Other constituents of this compartment might be regulators of GLUT-4 movement to the cell surface, and their identification should make it possible to find the link between the insulin signal transduction pathway and GLUT-4 translocation.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) play a central role in the integration of proliferative and survival responses of most mammalian cell types. IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) influences IGF action directly as a carrier of IGFs but also modulates these actions indirectly via independent mechanisms involving interactions with plasma, extracellular matrix and cell surface molecules, conditional proteolysis, cellular uptake, and nuclear transport. Here we demonstrate that a short C-terminal metal-binding domain (MBD) of IGFBP-3 mediates binding to metals. MBD epitopes, sequestered in the intact molecule, are unmasked by incubation in the presence of ferrous (but not ferric or zinc) ions. An isolated 14-mer MBD peptide triggered apoptotic effects in stressed HEK293 cells as effectively as IGFBP-3. The MBD, which encompasses a nuclear localization sequence and an adjacent putative caveolin-binding sequence, mobilizes rapid cellular uptake and nuclear localization of unrelated proteins such as green fluorescent protein and streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate. Metal ions stimulate MBD-mediated cellular/nuclear uptake in vivo. Cross-linking studies showed a direct physical interaction of MBD with integrins alphav and beta1, caveolin-1, and transferrin receptor. MBD-mediated protein mobilization and pro-apoptotic effects are inhibited by nystatin but not chlorpromazine, suggesting an involvement of caveolar-mediated endocytosis. However, MBD effects are inhibited by antibodies to transferrin receptor or integrins. These results are discussed with particular reference to the cell target specificity of IGFBP-3 in disease processes such as cancer and atherosclerosis.

Abstract
In 1982, Guillemin et al reported the isolation of the human (h) growth hormone (GH) releasing factor (GRF) from a pancreatic tumour in an acromegalic patient. Since then, work to develop potent GRF analogues has been widespread and the rat has been the main animal model used. The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy, potency and specificity of two GRF analogues with those of the native GRF(1-29)NH(2)using pig (p) as the animal model. Two analogues, Al ([His(1), D-Ala(2), Ala(8,9,15,17), D-Arg(29)] hGRF(1-29)NH(2)) and A2 ([D-Ala(2), Ala(8,9,15,17), D-Arg(29)] hGRF(1-29)NH(2)) were compared with the h or pGRF(1-29)NH(2). Five studies were designed using 28-48 kg BW growing barrows. Results showed that the two GRF analogues were more potent than the native GRF molecule, were highly specific, were active for long periods of time and were able to induce changes in body composition similar to those reported with GH or other GRF analogues. Because of the similarity between swine and human species with respect to the amino acid sequence of GRF and to the physiology, secretion and effects of GH, it can be proposed that the pig could be used as a pre-clinical animal model to study and test new GRF molecules over short and long periods of time.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) possesses both growth-inhibitory and -potentiating effects on cells that are independent of IGF action and are mediated through specific IGFBP-3 binding proteins/receptors located at the cell membrane, cytosol, or nuclear compartments and in the extracellular matrix. We have here characterized transferrin (Tf) as one of these IGFBP-3 binding proteins. Human serum was fractionated over an IGFBP-3 affinity column, and a 70-kDa protein was eluted, sequenced, and identified (through database searching and Western immunoblot) as human Tf. Tf bound IGFBP-3 but had negligible affinity to the other five IGFBPs, and iron-saturated holo-Tf bound IGFBP-3 more avidly than unsaturated Tf. Biosensor interaction analysis confirmed that this interaction is specific and sensitive, with a high association rate similar to IGF-I, and suggested that binding occurs in the vicinity of the IGFBP-3 nuclear localization site. As an independent confirmation of this interaction, using a yeast two-hybrid system, we cloned Tf from a human liver complementary DNA library as an IGFBP-3 protein partner. Tf treatment blocked IGFBP-3-induced cell proliferation in bladder smooth muscle cells, and IGFBP-3-induced apoptosis in prostate cancer cells. In summary, we have employed a combination of techniques to demonstrate that Tf specifically binds IGFBP-3, and we showed that this interaction has important physiological effects on cellular events.

Abstract
L1 is a neural cell adhesion molecule critical for neural development. Full-length L1 (L1(FL)) contains an alternatively spliced cytoplasmic sequence, RSLE, which is absent in L1 expressed in nonneuronal cells. The RSLE sequence follows a tyrosine, creating an endocytic motif that allows rapid internalization via clathrin-mediated endocytosis. We hypothesized that L1(FL) would internalize more rapidly than L1 lacking the RSLE sequence (L1(Delta)(RSLE)) and that internalization might regulate L1-mediated adhesion. L1 internalization was measured by immunofluorescence microscopy and by uptake of (125)I-anti-rat-L1 antibody, demonstrating that L1(FL) is internalized 2-3 times faster than L1(Delta)(RSLE). Inhibition of clathrin-mediated endocytosis slowed internalization of L1(FL) but did not affect initial uptake of L1(Delta)(RSLE). To test whether L1 endocytosis regulates L1 adhesion, cell aggregation rates were tested. L1(Delta)(RSLE) cells aggregated two times faster than L1(FL) cells. Inhibition of clathrin-mediated endocytosis increases the aggregation rate of the L1(FL) cells to that of L1(Delta)(RSLE) cells. Our results demonstrate that rapid internalization of L1 dramatically affects L1 adhesion.

Abstract
Macrophages are specialized cells of the immune system that exhibit a prodigious capacity for phagocytosis. The ability of macrophages to internalize a substantial proportion of their plasma membrane during phagocytosis indicates that they possess a mechanism for the rapid renewal of plasma membrane. We examined the role of endocytic membrane recycling in promoting phagocytosis. In contrast to many other cell types, macrophages lack a morphologically distinct peri-centriolar recycling compartment but instead demonstrate an extensive network of transferrin receptor-positive tubules and vesicles that participated in recycling. The rate of transferrin recycling in thioglycollate-elicited murine peritoneal macrophages (thio-macrophages) was exceedingly rapid, with exocytic rate constants that were 2- to 3-fold higher than those of most other cells. Because the GTPase Rab11 has been implicated in transferrin recycling in other cells, we determined its role in transferrin recycling and phagocytosis in macrophages. Macrophages expressing epitope-tagged Rab11 demonstrated the presence of Rab11 in several intracellular membrane compartments, including endosomes and nascent phagosomes. Expression of Rab11 25N, a GTP binding-deficient allele of Rab11, led to a decreased rate of transferrin efflux and impaired Fc(gamma)R-mediated phagocytosis, where Fc(gamma)R is the receptor for the Fc portion of IgG. In contrast, expression of Rab11 70L, a GTPase-deficient allele of Rab11, led to an increased rate of transferrin efflux and enhanced phagocytosis. We conclude that macrophages have adapted a rapidly mobilizable, endocytic compartment to enhance phagocytosis. Rab11 participates in the recruitment of this compartment to the macrophage cell surface.

Abstract
Vanadium compounds have been documented to stimulate a number of insulin biological effects in vitro and in vivo. We previously demonstrated stimulation of glucose transport and insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) binding in rat adipocytes. These actions are associated with translocation of glucose transporters and IGF-II receptors from an intracellular compartment to the plasma membrane. The transferrin receptor is also recruited to the plasma membrane in response to insulin. Freshly isolated rat adipocytes were incubated with vanadate and insulin at 37 degrees C, and after treating the cells with KCN to inhibit further receptor movement, diferric 125I-transferrin binding was assayed. Vanadate stimulated a dose- and time-dependent increase in 125I-transferrin binding, reaching maximum (approximately threefold) stimulation at 1 mmol/L after a 4-hour incubation. This was equivalent to the maximum insulin effect that was obtained with 10(-8) mol/L after 30 minutes. A similar degree of stimulation was achieved with 0.1 mmol/L vanadate after 8 hours of exposure. Dose-response data showed that the apparent sensitivity to vanadate was time-dependent and increased with the duration of exposure (EC50: 30 minutes, 1 mmol/L; 3 hours, 0.35 mmol/L). Scatchard analysis of 125I-transferrin binding showed that both insulin and vanadate increased receptor binding capacity with no effect on receptor affinity. Total cellular transferrin receptor content measured by immunoblotting with monoclonal anti-transferrin receptor antibody (OX-26) was not altered by insulin or vanadate, consistent with receptor translocation. Assessment of 59Fe uptake from 59Fe-labeled diferric transferrin showed that vanadate augmented 59Fe uptake in a dose-dependent manner to an extent similar to insulin, demonstrating the functional activity of the receptors (percent of control: 10(-8) mol/L insulin, 175% +/- 23.8%, P < .02; 0.3 mmol/L vanadate, 188% +/- 17.3%, P < .01). We conclude that vanadate mimics insulin to augment cell surface transferrin receptors and increase Fe uptake in rat adipocytes. The time-dependent apparent increase in sensitivity is consistent with the effectiveness of very low concentrations of vanadate in vivo after several days of administration, and suggests a requirement for vanadate entry into cells to mediate this biological response.

Abstract
Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) is a multifunctional receptor, expressed by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in normal arteries and in atherosclerotic lesions. In this investigation, we demonstrate a novel mechanism for the regulation of LRP activity in cultured rat aortic VSMCs. Cells that were treated with platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) or epidermal growth factor (EGF) for 24 h bound increased amounts of the LRP ligand, activated alpha2-macroglobulin (alpha2M), at 4 degrees C. The Bmax for activated alpha2M was increased from 56 +/- 5 to 178 +/- 24 and 143 +/- 11 fmol/mg cell protein by PDGF-BB and EGF, respectively, while the KD was unchanged. Northern and Western blot analyses demonstrated that neither PDGF-BB nor EGF increase LRP mRNA or protein levels. Instead, LRP was redistributed to the cell surface and remained localized primarily in coated pits, as determined by surface protein biotinylation, affinity labeling, and immunoelectron microscopy studies. The increase in cell-surface LRP was partially explained by a 50% decrease in receptor endocytosis rate; however, at 37 degrees C, PDGF-BB- and EGF-treated VSMCs still bound/internalized increased amounts of activated alpha2M and subsequently released increased amounts of trichloroacetic acid-soluble radioactivity. The cytokine-induced shifts in LRP subcellular distribution were stable when VSMCs were challenged with a saturating concentration of ligand and then incubated, in the absence of cytokine, for 2.5 h at 37 degrees C. Regulation of LRP distribution and activity may be an important aspect of the VSMC response to the atherogenic cytokines, PDGF-BB and EGF.

Abstract
Effects of subcutaneous (s.c.) administration of 50 micrograms/kg body weight of recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbGH) or saline were studied for 11 weeks in 40 intact male veal calves supplied 50 mg or 10 mg of iron (Fe)/kg of milk replacer (MR). Feed intake, average daily gain and growth: feed ratio were reduced in Fe-deficient calves, but not significantly influenced by rbGH. Plasma Fe and haemoglobin concentration, red-cell number and packed cell volume were decreased in Fe-deficient calves (P < 0.05) and rbGH further reduced red-cell number in Fe-deficient calves (P < 0.05). The age-dependent increase of total Fe binding capacity was greater in Fe-deficient calves and enhanced by rbGH (P < 0.05). Plasma urea concentrations increased, whereas glucose (G) and triiodothyronine (T3) levels decreased in Fe-deficient calves. rbGH significantly increased G in calves fed MR containing 50 mg/kg (P < 0.05) and influenced urea concentrations (P < 0.05). Plasma insulin (I) and IGF-I concentrations were lower in Fe-deficient calves (P < 0.05). Plasma GH in the first hours after rbGH injections increased (P < 0.05) to higher levels in calves fed 10 than in those fed 50 mg Fe/kg MR, but incremental changes were comparable. In conclusion, low Fe intake caused haematologic, metabolic and endocrine changes. Plasma IGF-I, I and T3 concentrations after rbGH administration and effects of rbGH on IGF-I in Fe-deficient calves were reduced, even though plasma GH levels were increased.

Abstract
In an attempt to improve our understanding of the complex interplay between cell compartments and chemical species during cellular uptake of iron from transferrin, we designed a computer simulation program based on current models of receptor-mediated endocytosis and pinocytosis. The program calculates and visualizes, as a function of time, the changes in transferrin, apotransferrin, and iron concentrations occurring in all relevant cellular compartments during cellular iron acquisition from transferrin. Simulation of literature data showed that the program generates results that are in accordance with experimental data. Furthermore, from measurements of the uptake of [carboxyl-14C]dextran we could utilize the program to suggest rate constants characteristic for the pinocytic process in rat reticulocytes. Moreover, simulations indicate that the apparent difference in the iron uptake process observed between reticulocytes and hepatocytes may be explained by the contribution made by pinocytosis to the iron uptake process. Finally, the present program should have potential as an educational tool during introduction to the field of receptor-mediated endocytosis in general and to cellular iron metabolism in particular.

Abstract
Estradiol 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase acts to convert estrone to the biologically active estrogen, estradiol, in breast tumors and MCF-7 breast cancer cells in vitro. In this study we have examined the ability of albumin to influence the effect of growth factors (insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF alpha)) and cytokines (interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6) on estradiol 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity in MCF-7 cells. IGF-I (80 ng/ml) or albumin (30 micrograms/ml) stimulated estradiol 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity by 144% and 102% (p less than 0.01). The combination of IGF-I and albumin, however, produced a marked (704%) synergistic stimulation of estradiol 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity. EGF or TGF alpha failed to stimulate estradiol 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity and no synergism with albumin was detected. IL-1 (10 ng/ml), but not IL-6, also stimulated estradiol 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity and acted synergistically with albumin to stimulate enzyme activity. MCF-7 cells were shown to specifically bind 125I-albumin and binding is increased by pretreatment of cells with IGF-I (80 ng/ml) for 48 h. It is concluded that the synergism that results from treating MCF-7 cells with albumin and IGF-I may result from increased albumin uptake and subsequent biological effect.

Abstract
The time-dependent concentrations of interferon-alpha and tumor necrosis factor-alpha associated with the membrane and internalized by cells contain information on the kinetics of endocytosis and their cellular processing. This information can be reduced quantitatively by application of the respective compartmental models. In our studies of human epithelial tumor cells interacting with human interferon-alpha and human tumor necrosis factor-alpha, we accounted only for actual endocytosis and elimination of the tracer from cells by a novel method sensitive to changes in the rate of endocytosis, to the delay in tracer elimination, and to the nonlinear regulatory coupling between endocytosis and the internalized ligand. Data reduced by this method resulted in best-fit parameter values statistically superior to values obtained by previous methods (Bajzer et al., 1989). The results indicate a change with time in the rate of endocytosis of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and the inhibition of endocytosis by the endocytosed ligand-receptor complex. We conclude that sorting and processing of interferon-alpha and tumor necrosis factor-alpha are restricted by the type of both the receptor and the cell.

Abstract
HL-60 cells produce an autostimulatory growth factor. Since the stimulatory effect of HL-60 conditioned medium is only observed in the absence of exogenous transferrin we have assayed HL-60 cells for the production of transferrin and found that they produce polypeptides which react with transferrin antibodies. 35S-methionine labelling, immunoprecipitation and subsequent separation by SDS-gel electrophoresis reveals the presence of a major transferrin related 41 +/- 2 kDa species released by HL-60 cells. Physiological levels of iron salts completely abolish the requirement of exogenous transferrin which indicates that the endogenous transferrin related polypeptides in the presence of exogenous inorganic iron salts are sufficient for the proliferation of HL-60 cells provided insulin or related growth factors are present. The addition of transferrin receptor antibodies inhibits the stimulatory action of the endogenous transferrin related activity.

Abstract
We recently described an estrogen-inducible transferrin receptor from the chicken oviduct. We now report on the comparison of the oviduct transferrin receptor with the transferrin receptor obtained from chick embryo red blood cells. Western blot analysis reveals that rabbit polyclonal antibodies raised against one receptor do not cross react with the heterologous receptor. Furthermore, peptide map analyses of either affinity purified, native [125I]-labelled transferrin receptors (dimers) or dissociated, and repurified monomers obtained from oviducts and embryonic red blood cells yield distinct patterns. Therefore, the estrogen-modulated oviduct transferrin receptor appears to be structurally distinct from the iron-modulated red cell transferrin receptor.

Abstract
The human colon carcinoma cell line, HCT 116, can be grown in chemically defined media in the absence of exogenous growth factors. The addition of transferrin and insulin will significantly stimulate growth. The interaction of these growth factors with their receptors was studied to determine whether the synergistic action of insulin and transferrin on growth involved alterations in the growth-factor receptors. Redistribution of the transferrin receptor occurred in the presence of transferrin or transferrin plus insulin. The presence of insulin in the growth media resulted in occupation of cell-surface insulin receptors without a reduction in total insulin binding. Addition of transferrin with insulin resulted in a decrease in insulin binding to its receptor, with no alteration in receptor affinity. It appears that transferrin plays a role in regulating the insulin receptor and that this may contribute to the synergistic effect of insulin and transferrin on growth.

Abstract
Treatment of two human leukemia cell lines with 1.25% dimethyl sulfoxide at 37 degrees C results in a rapid increase in the number of transferrin receptors on the cell surface detected by fluorescein-labeled anti-transferrin receptor antibodies. Both HL-60 cells, a human myeloid cell line, and K562 cells, a human erythroid-myeloid cell line, showed a 25-65% increase in cell surface transferrin binding in parallel experiments. Scatchard plot analysis of the data indicates that the number of receptors increases while the affinity of transferrin for the receptor remains the same. This rapid increase in the number of receptors at the cell surface appears to be due to a slowing of endocytosis rather than an increase in externalization of the receptor.

Abstract
Alveolar macrophages regain their normal volume after swelling in hypo-osmotic solutions. This process, termed regulatory volume decrease (RVD), is initiated 3-5 minutes after exposure of cells to hypo-osmotic solutions, and by 30 min, near-normal volumes are attained. Volume decrease does not occur at 0 degrees C or in solutions in which Na+ has been replaced by K+, or Cl- by the impermeant anion gluconate. These results, as well as direct measurement of intracellular cations, indicate that decreases in cell volume result primarily from the loss of K+ and Cl- and are similar to RVD in lymphocytes. Kinetic analysis of cation loss, both by directly measuring changes in intracellular cation content and by assaying rubidium efflux, showed that cation loss occurred immediately upon media dilution. The rate of cation loss fit first-order kinetics and preceded both the initiation of volume decrease and the maximum increase in surface receptor number. These results suggest that the cation transporters responsible for RVD are located at the cell surface and that regulation of activity is not dependent on alterations in membrane movement.

Abstract
In order to investigate cellular mechanisms involved in insulin stimulation of erythropoiesis, we have studied the response of early (BFU-e) and late (CFU-e) erythroid progenitor cells in a serum-free agar culture system. In this assay system, CFU-e proliferation occurred in media containing low-density lipoproteins, bovine serum albumin, transferrin and recombinant erythropoietin (rEPO). Insulin in physiological concentrations as low as 10(-12)M, added directly to cultures, augmented CFU-e colony formation. This stimulatory effect was also seen when monocyte- and T lymphocyte-depleted cells from normal donors were cultured. In contrast, BFU-e was not stimulated by media devoid of insulin. Occurrence of BFU-e colonies required the presence of insulin in concentrations higher than 10(-8)M. This insulin effect was not dependent on the presence of monocytes and T lymphocytes. Delayed addition studies of rEPO to insulin containing cultures revealed a slight but significant survival rate of CFU-e. A similar survival rate was found for BFU-e. From this, we conclude that insulin stimulates CFU-e by an EPO-like activity. For BFU-e, however, the decline in the number of bursts caused by EPO deprivation implies that insulin does not act directly as a burst-promoting activity but that it probably induces the release of this activity from non-adherent and T lymphocyte-depleted bone marrow cells.
