Incorporation of [14C] glucosamine and [14C] leucine into mouse kidney beta-glucuronidase induced by gonadotrophin.

Male BALB/C mice were injected intraperitoneally with 2.5 i.u. of gonadotrophin. After the injection, increase of beta-glucuronidase activity was first observed in the microsomal fraction. By 36h 45-50% of the total homogenate activity was found in the microsomal fraction compared with 20-25% in the control microsomal fraction. From 36 to 80h not only microsomal beta-glucuronidase but also lysosomal beta-glucuronidase increased progressively. After 69h stimulation with 2.5 i.u. of gonadotrophin, d-[1-(14)C]glucosamine or l-[U-(14)C]leucine was injected intraperitoneally. After a further 3h the kidneys were homogenized and five particulate fractions were prepared by differential centrifugation. The beta-glucuronidase in the microsomal and lysosomal fractions was released respectively by ultrasonication and by freezing and thawing treatment. The enzyme was purified by organic-solvent precipitation and by sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation. The results demonstrated the incorporation of these two labels into the mouse renal beta-glucuronidase. The microsomal beta-glucuronidase was much more radioactive than the lysosomal enzyme and approx. 80% of the newly synthesized enzyme appeared in microsomes and approx. 20% of that was found in lysosomes at this period. These results suggest that the mouse renal beta-glucuronidase is a glycoprotein and that the newly synthesized enzyme is transported from endoplasmic reticulum to lysosomes.

Metabolism of beta-ionone. Isolation, characterization and identification of the metabolitesin the urine of rabbits.

1. Rabbits dosed orally with beta-ionone excreted in the urine unchanged beta-ionone, 3-oxo-beta-ionone, 3-oxo-beta-ionol, dihydro-3-oxo-beta-ionol and 3-hydroxy-beta-ionol. 2. Excretion products were isolated as 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone derivatives (beta-ionone, 3-oxo-beta-ionone, 3-oxo-beta-ionol and dihydro-3-oxo-beta-ionol) and as p-nitrobenzoate derivatives (3-oxo-beta-ionol, dihydro-3-oxo-beta-ionol and 3-hydroxy-beta-ionol), which were characterized and identified by comparison with the synthetic authentic compounds. 3. The glucuronides of 3-oxo-beta-ionol and dihydro-3-oxo-beta-ionol were also detected in the urine. The latter compound was isolated as free glucuronide, sodium salt and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone.

Behavior of the NO-beta-D-glucosiduronic acid of N-acetyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine as a substrate for beta-glucuronidase.

1. Biosynthetic sodium (N-acetyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine NO-beta-d-glucosid)-uronate is hydrolysed completely by purified mouse urinary beta-glucuronidase into the products N-acetyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine and glucuronic acid. The hydrolysis is inhibited by saccharo-(1-->4)-lactone. These results not only confirm the identity and purity of the substrate but also establish it as a substrate for beta-glucuronidase. 2. Mammalian and bacterial beta-glucuronidase preparations hydrolysed the substrate at a rate one-fifth of that for (phenolphthalein beta-d-glucosid)uronic acid under the optimum conditions of hydrolysis for each source. 3. The pH optimum is 4.1 and the Michaelis constant, K(m), is 3.3x10(-4)m with purified mouse urinary beta-glucuronidase as the enzyme source acting on the NO-beta-d-glucosiduronic acid. The aglycone after extraction into chloroform was quantitatively determined spectrophotometrically at its absorption maximum (256mmu). 4. The hydrolysis was studied as a function of time and temperature. 5. From a consideration of the chemical and enzymic properties of this NO-beta-d-glucosiduronic acid it is possible to suggest its catabolism in vivo.

Biosynthetic preparation of the NO-glucosiduronic acid of N-acetyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine.

1. Sodium (N-acetyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine beta-d-glucosid)uronate was isolated from the urine of rabbits receiving N-acetyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine. 2. Its chemical structure was confirmed by the correspondence of the infrared spectrum of its tri-O-acetyl methyl ester derivative with the tri-O-acetyl methyl ester derivative of an authentic specimen prepared by the Koenigs-Knorr synthesis.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatinum/5-fluorouracil/low-dose leucovorin for advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus.

Forty-four patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were treated with biochemical modulated combination chemotherapy and surgery. Treatment consisted of cisplatinum (70 mg/m2/day 1, day 22), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU; 700 mg/m2/day, days 1-5, 22-26), and leucovorin (20 mg/m2/day, days 1-5, 22-26) with nutritional support, and surgery (days 42-70, mean day 56). Surgery consisted of subtotal esophagectomy with extended lymphadenectomy. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy or additional irradiation to the mediastinum was restricted to patient with residual tumors. Clinical response rate was 63.6% in primary tumor, 52.6% in intramural metastasis, 100% in intraepithelial spread, and 30.9% for metastatic lymph nodes. There was a slight disagreement between the result of evaluation of histological and clinical effect. The incidence of postoperative complications was 25%, and the mortality rate was 2.3%. Overall 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-year survival rates of the patients were 57%, 37.9%, 28.5%, and 28.5%, respectively. The median survival time was 14.7 months. Responders survived longer than nonresponders. The histological responders survived longer than clinical responders. The 4-year survival rate of patients without residual tumor after treatment was 75% in the superficial cases, 51% in the locoregional cases, and 50% in the widespread cases.
